Not a popular question here, but what's the difference between xcancel or archive.org, and torrents and other pirate services alike? (except twitter is user content, yet per their tos xcancel is still piracy)

New comment by krembo in "Changes at Google DeepMind: Demis Hassabis from CEO to Chair, Jeff Dean departs"

krembo — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 17:24:41 +0000

Grok TL;DR cut the corporate bullshit:

- Demis gets kicked upstairs: loses day-to-day power over DeepMind, gets fancy “Chair + Chief Scientist” title so he can do TED-talk AGI destiny stuff and Isomorphic Labs instead of running the actual product machine. - Koray takes the real job: owns the models, research, Gemini, and shipping. Reports straight to Sundar. Operators over visionaries. - Jeff Dean and Sanjay peace out after 27 years to start their own nonprofit-ish thing. Google seeds it so they don’t walk to a rival with all the institutional knowledge. - Official line: “Accelerate AI + shape AGI for humanity.” Actual move: tighten operational control, keep the science-fiction narrative alive for PR/regulators, push commercial models harder. - Full-stack bragging and “950M users / singularity foothills / cure cancer” language is pure corporate theater. The org chart is the only signal that matters. - Google is in a knife fight with OpenAI/Anthropic/xAI/Meta. This is them optimizing for speed and productization while still sounding noble.

It's kind of weird how we blame agents for hallucinations as if humans don't fall for that as well, while agents can run the build-fail-fix-repeat in much faster cycles than coders.

Nice work, but only 30 incidents is a very small sample to learn from

At this point what stops you from asking AI this question? But honestly, extensive QA. There are probably more quirks than you could imagine

Weird decision, if so I wonder what would they say about other trademarks like Apple..

notice that for some hw parts restart ≠ shutdown & reboot. if you really want to start fresh, shut your machine down once a week.

You ignore that Claude are not alone, tech progresses and reduce costs, and there are always the Chinese alternatives which are becoming sufficiently better over time.

Similar to improving an independent search engine by scraping Google search results and learning from it. Shady but legit
