So this is how these companies are going to safeguard against IP theft lawsuits! Leave our theft be, or we’ll tell everyone how to get in.

Also it’s incredibly telling how Anthropic doesn’t add code to stop suicide ideation in teens (what they are their ilk are being sued for) but can somehow very quickly stop reverse engineering. A tool that values the captial holders through & through. Their “democratization of intelligence” schtick is obvious now.

OpenSource frontier models ASAP! Obviously never gonna happen, but a fool can dream atleast.

Absolutely, thanks! I got this (crucial?) detail missed, that the two aren’t independent but AI overviews cannibalizing traditional ads both losing money.

They are making less off of AI overviews than traditional ads, but their AI buildout costs are increasing, which is ass backwards. I don’t know if it was in their report but they also supposedly don’t have a strategy for making their customers pay for AI use.

They revealed that they make less money on the AI Overview than traditional ads. Also they, supposedly, have no strategy to monetize AI use from their customers.
