Google Nears Release of OpenAI Competitor 👀

Google has unveiled plans to launch its AI platform Gemini in the near future – a powerful tool made by the world’s largest search engine. Gemini will help users craft catchy emails, generate music lyrics, write news articles, and more.

After a messy launch, Google’s chatbot Bard has been generally well received, and with this new release, Google will become a fully capable AI ecosystem that rivals Microsoft’s OpenAI.

Gemini will be offered to customers through its Google Cloud Vertex AI service.

REGULATIONS: SEC Chair Gensler calls out crypto’s ‘wide-ranging noncompliance’ in Senate hearing. US ‘the only country’ crypto startups should avoid, says Ripple CEO.

ASSETS: BlackRock rumored to shift crypto focus from Bitcoin to XRP. Elon Musk said Tesla would resume bitcoin payments now that it has crossed this threshold.

Things We Actually Don’t Hate? 🤔

In a surprised turn of events, we found a headline that doesn’t make us hate humanity.

Retired doctor, 69, who was busted with guns, drugs and prostitutes on his yacht in Nantucket has terminal cancer 'and is living out his last days partying'

This absolute champion is just trying to have 1 more good time before he goes. Hurting no one. Shame on the police for bringing this guy in, glad to see he’s smiling in this picture and pleading not guilty. Only thing he’s guilty of is winning.

Shameless Shill + Alpha
