I told you Decoder this week was bananas and here it is: Zoom CEO Eric Yuan’s vision is thousands of AI digital clones attending video meetings https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/3/24168733/zoom-ceo-ai-clones-digital-twins-videoconferencing-decoder-interview

Love love @becca.farsace’s new series talking to creators about what they do. Also, I love Unecessary Inventions https://www.theverge.com/24166254/unnecessary-inventions-matty-benedetto-behind-the-scenes-full-frame-creators

I don't have a lot to say about this -- our newsroom is independent of the company's business dealings as it's always been. We'll figure out some disclosure language and do a disclosure when it's appropriate, we are pretty good at those ;)

This is the story of the day - many many details of the Google Search algo have apparently leaked, and the company has remained resolutely silent about it

Google is manually removing weird AI answers in search - probably ruining whatever margin bringing the cost of an AI query down 80 percent over the last year saved. Lots in this @kylie.robison piece! https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/24/24164119/google-ai-overview-mistakes-search-race-openai

“Let’s look at the product together” is my favorite kind of Decoder question

Altman statement on ScarJo situation pretty hard to square with his “her” tweet https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/20/24161253/scarlett-johansson-openai-altman-legal-action

Asked Sundar this question first for a reason! https://www.theverge.com/24158374/google-ceo-sundar-pichai-ai-search-gemini-future-of-the-internet-web-openai-decoder-interview

Asked ChatGPT 4o to summarize my conversation with Sundar Pichai and it returned a full hallucination complete with citations to things we did not talk about at all

reckless1280, to random

Google's Sundar Pichai talked to me about AI, search, and the web on Decoder. It got very deep, and he sighed at me more than a few times as we dug into the incentives Google creates, but he stuck it out for 40 minutes.

In the pod feed but this one has a YouTube video as well -> https://www.theverge.com/24158374/google-ceo-sundar-pichai-ai-search-gemini-future-of-the-internet-web-openai-decoder-interview

Songs I listened to so much as Napster’d 128kbps MP3s I still hear phantom compression sizzle:

  • Love Will Tear Us Apart
  • Dreams by the Cranberries
  • In Between Days

In an effort to make it easier to find timely, relevant content on Threads, we’re introducing a Recent tab for your searches. Search results here are still evaluated for quality, but you can now see them in chronological order.

As a reminder, your Following feed is also in chronological order, so you’ll always see the most recent posts first in that feed as well.

Now let me search for URLs please 🙏

Google Zero, baby. Been saying it for years; the CEO of the NYT literally asked me if I really believed it

The flashy Google AI search sizzle reel at IO features an incredibly destructive wrong answer to the video search query about a jammed film camera advance lever - this will expose your film and destroy all your photos!

Talked to Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen, who told me a big part of his vision for AI is the automated creation of personalized advertising. I don't think anyone appreciates how much of Adobe's business is designed around internet marketing, actually. Much more in the episode!

reckless1280,

Make no mistake, this kind of automated marketing creation is driving a huge amount of AI investment right now -- there's a reason Google and Meta are spending gobs of money. This is very much what they are promising their own ad clients across their platforms.

I might be the only person in the world who thinks the new Sonos app is actually pretty good

lol the Tesla fanboys found the Decoder episode

This TikTok complaint is startlingly weak on first read -- it basically handwaves through "a sale is impossible, let's just assume it's a ban" and begins the First Amendment argument from there https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/7/24151242/tiktok-sues-us-divestment-ban
