A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That's fair, also congratulations. Idk if I would count that towards contributing to the internet though, since it's all within their walled garden on their own terms. It's helpful for people, but only insofar as it helps Google. 10 years ago I might be less critical since they were still in their "don't be evil" phase and creating open source projects like Android left and right, something they're evidently regretting now and trying to lock down using propriety core apps. It's also worth noting Google's AI employees authored "Attention is all you need", the paper which laid the groundwork for modern Transformer-based LLMs, though that's an architecture and not a full model or code.
