"Truly innovative".

I wrote my first neural net in the late 90s. Based on nothing but an old geocities post some rando put up about training a model to only unlock a pet door for their cat.

I implemented the same and it worked.

Where you see true innovation I see run of the mill. OpenAI, Google, etc are propping up data center rental business they came to rely on to titillate biology with whatever spaghetti that sticks. That's it.

The interesting science isn't happening anywhere close to big tech.

The mathematics of LLMs exists in textbooks from 1950s. Your entire comment chain here is little more than reciting propaganda.

Why aren't we using it, if that's all the world needs?

Oh this game, huh?

If your powers of analysis were worth anything you would be running the world not copy-pasting hype straight from CNBC and Big Tech PR

As you are not running the world your analysis is worthless. As such I say; good day, sir.

Why is it important that Google (or any of these large companies) only hire Americans for their jobs in the first place? They are global companies now, they make money from everywhere. Why is the insular "Americans only" idea worthy of consideration at all?

[pandaman]

The law forces American corporations to hire Americans, various work visas are exceptions from the law given under certain conditions. It appears the companies are abusing these exceptions and violate these conditions. There is no such thing as a "global company" in the law, with the exception of foreign consulates all the entities that hire people in the US are American corporations.

Humans were motivated to discover physical truth, invent technology before Google existed.

"Why is it important Google exists?" is a more interesting question.

By this logic, Google should relocate to some abstract "global" location.
