| (ex-Googler, spent 18 yrs there) Memegen is a key part of the culture. Its default mode is over-the-top mocking, of course, with a grain of truth. Nobody and nothing is spared. C-level execs, products, the perf process. So this by itself is not quite the scoop 404 media thinks it is. You could take the front page of memegen on any given day and construct twenty scandalous headlines of it. |

| On top of what you wrote, Memegen is not representative of opinions among Googlers. Memegen, like most social media, focuses on the extremes. You'll see a lot of spicy takes, but that's not what the typical Googler thinks. For a more realistic view, the comments on Memegen are better but, again, unlikely to represent the views of most Googlers. So this article boils down to "On a site that focuses on extreme positions drawn from a very large population of people, we found extreme positions about this product." Doesn't really tell you much about the product or the very large population. You can make the same statement about most products and most very large populations. Disclaimer: Xoogler, worked at G 10+ years. |

| Came here to say that (not a Xoogler, but very familiar with portions of Google). Other companies have similar things :) |

I mean it's trying to incorporate a fact its being provided. Its insane it can do that at all. You could tune it to prefer pre-existing knowledge and not let the user correct it so easily, and to be more skeptical, but that would have downsides too. I don't think it's some big coup that you can tell it Google is a mushroom and it synthesizes that. | | | |

| ▲ | root-parent an hour ago | parent [-] | | Because the context is harmless. If would be something else, like Iranian girl schools, or medication could be deadly... | | |
| ▲ | woodruffw an hour ago | parent [-] | | That’s how context works, in general. (Observe that normal human beings will also lie to you on the internet, about everything from the best flavor of ice cream to cancer treatments.) | | |

Ads filled the screen and some random other imgur link loaded. Nope. Kinda wanted to see what you shared, but that’s as far as I got. | |

| ▲ | isoprophlex an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | One of the worlds leading tech companies deployed a new search function "that our users really love!!!"; but when asked, told me that there are two letters 'n' in the word 'Google'. Yes, it's because they're using a cheap model to answer my question. Yes, I know how a tokenizer works and why this happens. No, I don't think the tech industry is in an insane place at all, why do you ask? /s | |

| ▲ | dghlsakjg 41 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Anyone can drive an F-22 into a ditch. Doesn't mean that it can't also be used to drop a 2k lb. bomb down your chimney from 40,000 ft. That demonstration is interesting, but not really something new. Fooling very intelligent people into believing something completely absurd is incredibly easy. How many scientific papers have been retracted based on wholesale fabrications that fooled an entire review committee? The question isn't "What is the dumbest thing I can do with this technology?" its "What is the most valuable thing I can do with this technology?" | | |
| ▲ | root-parent 37 minutes ago | parent [-] | | The technology is so dumb can be easily made to believe there is a Google mushroom. We are way far from driving a F22 to the ditch...although I am sure with the same techniques, we could make the AI make the F22 bomb the Google headquarters.... |
