🤖 Gemini's ideological tuning breaks Google's AI product

“This idea that Gemini turned out this way by accident or because they rushed it out, I don't really believe that. I believe that what happened is Gemini accurately reflects the biases of the people who created it ... I think they're simply going to dial down the bias to be less obvious.”

“Too many of these judgments, I think, will make this product very poor quality and consumers will just go to the thing that tells it the truth.”

“Google could be going down the wrong path here in a way that they will lose users and lose consumers and someone else will be there eagerly to sweep up with a better product.”

“there may have been this kind of entitlement culture where anytime Google employees ask for stuff, they get it... That's so much of the orientation of being an employee at Google is all about what Google can do for me and how I can get more.”

“which we talked about with the Gemini issues and this stuff bleeding over into product... are people actually focused on products at Google anymore?”

“So I think that the reports of their death were premature and exaggerated.”

“Black George Washington. Doesn't matter. They can make 10 mistakes, but their monopoly is so strong that they can finally get it right by copying the innovator.”

“I think you've got to, at this point, have your head buried really deep in the sand, not to think that Google is incredibly biased in this election against Trump.”

“Yeah, it's not the search engine. It's just the corpus of media that's being indexed.”

“it may not necessarily have been kind of overt action by Google, but just the way that the system is set up, that anyone can flag and if enough people flag, you get the sort of trigger.”
