159 - ChatGPT Atlas - The new search engine or another forgotten piece of tech?
159: ChatGPT Atlas - The new search engine or another forgotten piece of tech?, Begins with a "vibe gut check" of 6, which Ryan attributed to the launch of ChatGPT Atlas and the general, growing AI anxiety related to job security and rapid innovation.Ryan expresses strong skepticism about ChatGPT Atlas, calling it "clunky" and essentially a blend of Google Chrome and ChatGPT, and predicts that users will inevitably return to established search engines.Ryan highlights that Atlas is already being "nerfed," noting that it blocked searches for certain historical topics (like videos of Hitler) due to propaganda concerns, and is also viewed by some as primarily a tool to collect large amounts of data for AI training.The general online reception to Atlas is noted as overwhelmingly negative; Ryan observes a significant lack of positive promotion on X, suggesting a rare consensus that the product is underwhelming.The discussion included skepticism of Sam Altman's comments on AI risk (translated as managing expectations for a disaster) and the idea that all the new image generators and data collection are leading to powerful, highly surveilled systems.Mentions:@AnthonyHigman@newstart_2024@LuizaJarovsky
