What Google has teased about Gemini 4

Ah, Google has confirmed it's training Gemini 4, with CEO Sundar Pichai insisting they're 'being very ambitious with it' — which in tech-speak means 'we're throwing compute at the wall until something sticks, and we'll worry about the consequences later.'

The 'significant compute' claim is a classic Big Lab flex, as if raw GPU hours have ever been the bottleneck for AI risk. Meanwhile, regulators are still trying to figure out how to label a chat bot as 'trained on everything.'

But don't worry: Google assures us they're being ambitious, not reckless. Because those two are famously easy to tell apart when you're spending billions to shrink-wrap a stochastic parrot that might one day replace half your workforce. Cheers.
