Hello, everyone at Damoa! 😊
It's time to break down difficult IT news into easy and fun comics, 33rd week.
This week, there was really good news for those who use ChatGPT for free. From the story of Google struggling with brain drain to the secret recipe for AI movie production, let's take a slow look at it in comics below? 👇
(Just scroll through the images.)
1️⃣ Why Google lost hundreds of billions of won in just one day after key personnel left
Four key AI researchers at Google left the company on the same day to start a new company. The news shook the parent company Alphabet's stock price, causing hundreds of billions of won to evaporate in just one day. Two months ago, a Nobel Prize-level researcher also left, raising concerns that "talent is continuously leaving." But there's a twist. Google invested in the new company started by those who left and also provided them with cloud services.
2️⃣ Gemini was pushed aside, but Google Cloud hit the jackpot? — A B2B reversal drama
While Google's Gemini, for the general public, is lagging behind in competition and its top model release is delayed, Google Cloud is doing the opposite. Last quarter's revenue jumped 82%, and 90% of the world's top 100 companies are using Google's enterprise AI. It's an interesting reversal drama where Google Cloud is winning big in the less visible enterprise market (B2B).
3️⃣ ChatGPT free users can now enjoy 'unlimited conversations'!
OpenAI has unlocked unlimited text conversations for free ChatGPT users. This is a groundbreaking decision to celebrate surpassing 1 billion weekly users. The basic AI has also been upgraded to a smarter new model ('Luna'). However, 'unlimited' only applies to text conversations, and image generation, file uploads, and voice are still limited. It seems like a countermeasure to retain users as Google and Anthropic already provide free unlimited access.
4️⃣ "Wasn't it a trade secret?" AI feature film production source released in its entirety (Technology & Economy)
AI video company 'Hicksfield' made headlines by releasing the entire production method for a 90-minute and 110-minute feature film created using AI. Typically, making a movie takes 1~2 years and hundreds of billions of won, but they did it in just two weeks for a few hundred million won! Without even using a camera! They released everything from the commands (prompts) used to the characters and workflow, saying "anyone can follow along and make one." While this is praised for lowering the barrier to creation, concerns about jobs and copyright are also emerging.
Hope you enjoyed this week's issue. See you next week with more insightful news! 🙌
