you live in a bubble.

my mom who barely knows how to use her own phone googles stuff and recently showed me tips she got from hitting ai mode after searching something on google.

my dad uses gemini built into email and sheets and chrome.

just 2 anecdotal examples. oh and ai pro subscription i bought applies to my whole family for 20 a month and comes with 2tb storage.

insane value. and again google can do this and is still highly profitable all whilst competing on having the best model.

this shit ain't close.


No, we have the stats on this.

you live in a bubble.

my mom who barely knows how to use her own phone uses ChatGPT every day

just an anecdotal example.

this shit ain't close.

=========

but seriously, ChatGPT has wayyyy more name recognition than google's AI.


Name recognition is a different goal post than usage. OP's original comment was "Who's sitting there talking to Gemini though?"

For 1) isn't prime intellect doing that or something like it?

No AI woo-woo which I consider a huge plus

Thank you for this link!


What book is this :)



200 USD is a steep price damn.


Yes. Blurb increased their prices a while back. The book is large, the colour print quality is incredible, and it uses a lay-flat binding so that the illustrations have no crease. Of the $200, about $15 goes to the 24 artists and the rest goes to Blurb. The eBook is $11, which also goes to the artists.

Damn, man. I understand costs involved, but that's worse than Steam racquet for game developers.


Why is Steam a racket? They provide a service and charge 30% for it, nowhere comparable to the 92% cut here.


But here they are physically printing the book in high quality, that's clearly something that's expensive to do. How much does it actually cost Steam per game they sell? It can't be more than a cent. But here it is actually costing Blurb money to print the book to the quality required. It's not just profit.


Providing hosting of game assets for decades and bandwidth for updating it and tools for running it on Linux and hosting for multiplayer must cost a bit more than 1 cent.

Sure, not 30% either.


The other massive contribution of steam is the discoverability you get.


Steam also allows you to create Steam Keys to give away or sell on your own which they take no cut from.


You clearly haven't used 1.5 pro it seems. Pretty damn close to gpt-4o


Yes paying customer of all three. Sometimes for fun, start a task with the same prompt across all three. Within tree interactions Gemini start giving woke lectures, and provide worst or unusable results while the other two shine.

Just try it....


goblin.tools FTW


for some reason, that tool just doesn't work for me. I think it's because once I generate the list, it's not personalized to my specific scenario so I have to edit it a lot and then it doesn't guide me through it, it just gives me a list of things to do. For me, a lot of the times, I know the list of steps I have to do, but I just don't want to do it - so the chat interface helps me chunk it into the very next steps and make it more specific to my context.


Assistant makes reservations for me just like that demo :P but in general I agree it's gone very downhill
