I signed up for Gemini Advanced to get access to Deep Research on Feb 1st and felt on top of the world. So cool, so advanced.

Then OpenAI announced theirs on the 2nd: https://openai.com/index/introducing-deep-research/

Ethan Mollick called Google's undergraduate level and OpenAI's graduate level on the 3rd: https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/the-end-of-search-the-begin...

And now this. I can't stop thinking about The Onion Movie's "Bates 4000" clip:

My X feed is 90% AI Influencers like this saying "I'm blown away! Check this out.."

Is this a new cottage industry? Are they making money?

Yea x and YouTube. Also the YouTube meta specifically seems to have moved to these sensationalist over exaggeration and over simplification. Really would be nice to have a sensibility filter somehow. It’s gonna come with ai.

I like AI Explained on Youtube for non-sensationalist and thoughtful takes: https://www.youtube.com/@aiexplained-official

I’ve heard it’s all the crypto influencers jumping into the AI hype

Mollik is the great sense-maker. Whatever he says is usually wrong
