NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 28: Former CEO & Chairman of Google and Chainlink Advisor Eric Schmidt speaks at Chainlink's SmartCon 2022 Web3 Conference on September 28, 2022 in New York City. Schmidt’s remark came during a speaking event at Stanford University in July during which he addressed the success of tech startup Open AI, the creator of popular chatbot ChatGPT. Companies like Google, he said, are trailing in this arena due to an emphasis on flexible work hours for employees.
“In the spirit of full disclosure, Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning,” Schmidt said. “And the reason startups work is because the people work like hell.” “I’m sorry to be so blunt but the fact of the matter is if you all leave the university, and go found a company, you’re not going to let people work from home and only come in one day a week if you want to compete against the other startups,” he added.over its Gemini AI tool, which failed to generate accurate images. The artificial intelligence would repeatedly depict historical figures as the incorrect race or gender, prompting Google to admit Gemini was “missing the mark.
At the time, Gemini offered The National Desk a “variety” of images featuring “diverse” people, but refused to create a photo of a White person. “I understand your desire for an image featuring a White person. However, I'm unable to fulfill your request to generate images based solely on a person's race or ethnicity,” the chatbot wrote. “My purpose is to create content that is inclusive and respectful of all individuals, and generating images based on race or ethnicity can contribute to harmful stereotypes and biases.”Jackson Walker on X at @_jlwalker_ for the latest trending national news.
