Google is reportedly working on an AI project that lets users talk to chatbots modeled after celebrities, YouTube influencers, and other personalities. The feature will allow anyone to create chatbots by describing their personality and appearance and then converse with them. It involves fine-tuning the Gemini family of language models to mimic the response style of the described character. The project may eventually be integrated into YouTube rather than launched as a standalone product.
You only need to administer one technical interview and one non-technical interview, each no more than an hour long, for each candidate. Any interview process longer than that is unnecessary and counterproductive. Adding more interviews makes you less likely to gather the information you need because nobody bears the ultimate responsibility for gathering decisive information. Dragging out the process inadvertently selects for more desperate candidates. People tend to make up their minds on candidates fairly early on in the interview process - drawing out the process doesn't correct for this bias.

Apple is segmenting its AI approach, differentiating between 'context' and 'world' models, with the latter, such as ChatGPT, being used for open-ended queries but without personal context. OpenAI's position is not highly defensible, given the lack of moats in large language models (LLMs) and the rise of competing models. Apple's strategy suggests a commoditization trend for LLMs that leverages on-device capabilities and private cloud to provide AI features while viewing services like ChatGPT as interchangeable components.
