What can I do if ChatGPT gets increasingly laggy after a long conversation?
•
That's one of the reasons I'm relying more on Gemini and Claude these days.
•
Not much. It's up to OpenAI to optimize in the future.
Google Opal (opal.google)
•
Not available in Germany and I assume the rest of Europe
•
Here's the OSS repo for Google Opal: https://github.com/breadboard-ai/breadboard
•
That will make 300 https://killedbygoogle.com/

Opal is Optimizely AI name, but I guess Google's being Google, they are the ones that need to now change the product name. https://www.optimizely.com/ai/
2 cents from me 1. "it's not available in your country yet" -- although I am currently in (and connected to) Czech republic train, my account is based on Luxembourg. Not sure which one takes precedence, but sad to see... 2. Join Discord -- Unexpected to see this from a Google product. More interestingly, do they really have people/staff there? Or is it just bunch of AI Agents running the discord server, not sure. (Haven't joined either)
•
It's been available in Vietnam for around 2 weeks now. So maybe it's a privacy thing in the EU? Honestly though you're not missing much, it doesn't feel revolutionary. > Join Discord -- Unexpected to see this from a Google product I did a trial of Gemini Enterprise last month - a product absolutely not ready to be released - and they use Slack which also surprised me. So maybe internal teams at Google are allowed to choose their own messaging platform?
•
Slack is expected as Kubernetes/Cloud-Native/CNCF already used Slack. They also had extensive set of bots and integrations, including GitHub workflows too. TIL, Google Labs use discord :)
•
Just short of 300k members on discord (almost 17k online) at the time of writing this. It's their Google Labs discord.
In my estimation, that’s memetics and signaling to an in-group about who they want their audience to think their audience is. That’s why I did it. Oh, and it’s nice to be able to chat with potential users. By why not Slack or Teams?
•
Not dismissing your first argument but we had good success hiring talent through Discord servers. If you want to reach the same audience that attends hackathons and such it's in my experience the best platform.
Anyone have comments actually about Opal? Curious if anyone tried it.
•
It showed up as "a new way to build Gems" on my Gemini account a couple of weeks ago. I tried it a couple of times but the basic idea I had of creating a top level agent with sub-agents depending on the query (supervisor pattern I think?) doesn't seem to work. There's no branching, it seemed to just run app possible paths at the same time which takes ages and wastes tokens. Maybe I was doing something wrong, or maybe I misunderstood the purpose of this. But each thing I tried could be handled better by a normal gem with custom prompt. It might be useful for a specific kind is multi step non branching problem, but I didn't have any problems like that to test it with.
The unresponsive search bar centred on the viewport is all I need to know about this product. Google may deliver us the AI future Altman promised. The PM who thinks animated PNGs pass for anything real is not on that path.
•
I clicked the search bar thinking thats how i can try it. Turns out its just an animation and there’s a button underneath to actually try it.
Different teams. This AI team at Google cares not for the health of the web. They barely remember that Google has a search engine, except of course for the groudbreaking AI search results which are responsible for many large numbers for use in annual reviews. This team's goal is to sell their AI solution, and if that means demonstrating its ability to generate tools that create crap content that harms the search engine results, well, I'm sure another AI solution can probably combat that later.

> This AI team at Google cares not for the health of the web. They barely remember that Google has a search engine Neithet do any teams at Google, including the search teams. Google is an ad company with 80% of its revenue coming from ads. They couldn't give two shits about the health of the web. The man who killed Google search was a minor hit when it was published: https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/
What is this AI mini app? Do this make an actual production Flutter app or something?
•
It's basically an agent (Gem, as they call them) that you can run from your Gemini account.
>How do I even know this is a real Google product? Okay I’ll trust the domain it is not even the expected opal.google.com it is opal.google, you need to be 100% sure beforehand that google has the sole rights to the .google tld (which an average person wouldn't know) The behavior also seems sketchy with it asking for permission but then rejecting any usage if all of the permissions are not approved (why even ask then, you are google) after re-finding the link through a confirmed subdomain.google.com site I tried to sign in and got this error ``` An unexpected signin error occured.Error checking geo access ``` so I gave up
•
I didn’t even notice the TLD, wow that makes it even worse. Funny thing is I don’t actually have anything in my Gdrive. It’s just the principle that irks me.
