🥟 Chao-Down #191 OpenAI has quietly changed some of its "core values", Google's AI-powered search can now generate images, Box and Dropbox unveil how they are embracing generative AI

Google is starting to make waves, making generative AI announcements left and right that sound eerily similar to what we’ve recently seen from Microsoft in particular.

From releasing image generation in their new AI search to now saying that it will cover legal costs for Google Cloud customers who face copyright infringement, we’re starting to see a playbook emerge from the major tech companies.

From offering more capabilities to their consumer-facing products and giving confidence to their enterprise customers, it’s fascinating to see all this unfold. Who will come out on top?
