    01:53 DOJ’s extreme proposals will hurt consumers and America’s tech leadership

    • We previously talked about the DOJ and Google Antitrust lawsuit – and now the DOJ has wrapped up their remedies hearing, and Google has *not* been quiet about it.
    • One of the claims is that the remedies would hurt browser choice, putting browsers like Firefox out of business completely.
    • Google also claimed that data disclosure mandates would threaten user’s privacy – it would be MUCH safer if they could just sell it to you via their marketplace.
    • We do agree that divesting Chrome would make things more complicated for people living in the Google Cloud.
    • Really, what comes down to is that Google claims DOJ’s solutions are the wrong solutions – although to us, Google’s solutions aren’t much better.

    303: Someday You Will Find Me, Caught Beneath the AI Landslide, in a Champagne Premier Nova in The Sky
    2025/05/18
    Welcome to episode 303 of The Cloud Pod – where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin, Ryan and exhausted dad Matt are here (and mostly awake) ready to bring the latest in cloud news! This week we’ve got more news from Nova, updates to Claude, earnings news, and a mini funeral for Skype – plus a new helping of Cloud Journey! Titles we almost went with this week: Claude researches so Ryan can napThe best AI for Nova Corps, Amazon Nova Premiere JBIf you can’t beat them, change the licensing terms and make them fork, and then reverse course… and profitQ has invaded your IDE!!Skype bites the dust A big thanks to this week’s sponsor: We’re sponsorless!

Follow Up 02:50 Sycophancy in GPT-4o: What happened and what we’re doing about it OpenAI wrote up a blog post about their sycophantic Chat GPT 4o upgrade last week, and they wanted to set the record straight. They made adjustments at improving the models default personality to make it feel more intuitive and effective across a variety of tasks. When shaping model behavior, they start with a baseline principle and instructions outlined in their model spec. They also teach their models how to apply these principles by incorporating user signals like thumbs up and thumbs down feedback on responses. In this update, though, they focused too much on short-term feedback and did not fully account for how users’ interactions with ChatGPT evolve. This skewed the results towards responses that were overly supportive – but disingenuous. Beyond rolling back the changes, they are taking steps to realign the model behavior, including refining core training techniques and system prompts to explicitly steer the model away from sycophancy. They also plan to build more guardrails to increase honesty and transparency principles in the model spec.Additionally, they plan to expand ways for users to test and give direct feedback before deployments.Lastly, OpenAI continues to expand evaluations building on the model sync and our ongoing research. 04:43 Deep Research on Microsoft Hotpatching: Yes, they’re grabbing money and screwing you. Basically. 07:06 Justin – “I’m not going to give them any credit on this one. I appreciate that they created hotpatching, but I don’t like what you want to charge me for it.” General News It’s Earnings time – cue the sound effects! 08:03 Alphabet’s Q1 earnings shattered analyst expectations, sending the stock soaring.

    302: It’s So Hot, Even Windows is Hotpatching
    2025/05/08
    Welcome to episode 302 of The Cloud Pod – where the forecast is always cloudy! This week Justin and Ryan are on hand to bring you all the latest in Cloud (and AI news.) We’ve got hotpatching, Project Greenland, and a rollback of GPT-4.o, which sort of makes us sad – and our egos are definitely less stroked. Plus Saas, containers, and outposts – all of this and more. Thanks for joining us in the cloud! Titles we almost went with this week: The Cloud Pod was never accused of being sycophantic2nd Gen outposts!?!

General News 01:37 Sharing new DORA research for gen AI in software development The DORA team at Google has released a new report, “Impact of Generative AI In Software Development.” The report is based on data and developer interviews, and the report aims to move beyond hype to offer a proper perspective on AI’s impact on individuals, teams and organizations. Click on the link in our show notes to access the full report. However, Google has highlighted a few key points in the blog post.AI is Real – A staggering 89% of organizations are prioritizing the integration of AI into their applications, and 76% of technologists are already using AI in some part of their daily work. Productivity gains confirmed: Developers using Gen AI report significant increases in flow, productivity, and job satisfaction. For instance, a 25% increase in AI adoption is associated with a 2.1% increase in individual productivity.Organization benefits are tangible: Beyond individual gains, Dora found strong correlations between AI adoption and improvements in crucial organizational metrics. A 25% increase in AI adoption is associated with increases in document quality, code quality, code review speeds and approval speeds. If you are looking to utilize AI in your development organization, they provide five practical approaches for both leaders and practitioners. Have transparent communicationsEmpower developers with learning and experimentationEstablish clear policiesRethink performance metricsEmbrace fast feedback loops 045:06 Ryan – “Those are really good approaches, but really difficult to implement in practice. You know, in my day job, watching the company struggle to get a handle on AI from all the different angles you need to, from data protection, legal liability – just operationally – it’s very hard. So I think having a mature program where you’re rolling that out with intent and being very specific with your AI tasks I think will go a long way with a lot of companies.” AI Is Going Great – Or How ML Makes Its Money 08...

    02:35 Google shakes up Gemini leadership, Google Labs head taking the reins

    • There was a lot of Gemini news at Next – but we’ll get to all that.
    • In this particular case, there’s an employee shakeup. Sissie Hsiao is stepping down from leading the Google team, and is being replaced by Josh Woodward, who is currently leading the Google Labs.

    04:35 Filestore instance replication now available

    • GCP says customers have been asking for help in meeting business and regulatory goals, and so they are releasing Filestore instance replication.
    • This new feature offers an efficient replication point objective (RPO) that can reach 30 minutes for data change rates of 100 MB/sec.

    05:16 Multi-Cluster Orchestrator for cross-region Kubernetes workloads

    • The public preview of Multi-Cluster Orchestrator was recently announced.
    • This lets platform and application teams optimize resource utilization, enhance application resilience, and accelerate innovation in complex, multi-cluster environments.
    • The need for effective multi-cluster management has become essential as organizations increasingly use Kubernetes to deploy and manage their applications; Challenges such as resource scarcity, ensuring high availability, and managing deployments across diverse environments create significant operational overhead.
    • Multi-Cluster Orchestrator addresses these challenges by providing a centralized orchestration layer that abstracts away the complexities of underlying Kubernetes infrastructure matching workloads with capacity across regions....

AI Is Going Great – Or How ML Makes All Its Money 02:27 OpenAI adopts rival Anthropic’s standard for connecting AI models to data OpenAI is embracing Anthropic’s standard for connecting AI assistants to the systems where the data resides. By adapting Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol or MCP across its products, including the desktop app for ChatGPT. MCP is an open source standard that helps AI models produce better, more relevant responses to certain queries. Sam Altman says that people love MCP and they are excited to add support across their products and that it is available today in the Agents SDK and support for the ChatGPT desktop and Response API is coming soon.MCP lets models draw data from sources like business tools and software to complete tasks, as well as from content repositories and app development environments.

    01:05 Microsoft quantum computing claim still lacks evidence: physicists are dubious

    • A MS researcher presented results behind the company’s controversial claim to have created the first topological qubits – a long-sought goal of quantum computing.
    • Theorists said it’s a hard problem, and that it was a beautiful talk but the claims come without evidence, and people think they have gone overboard.
    • The Head of Quantum at Amazon was also highly skeptical:

    02:09 Justin – “No one’s really buying Microsoft actually created a new topological qubit. There’s some doubt… basically they said that what they showed, which is a microscopic H-shaped aluminum wire on top of indium arsenide – a superconductor at ultra-cold temperatures, and the devices are designed to harness majoranas, previously undiscovered quasi-particles that are essential for topological qubits to work, and the goals for majoranas to appear at the four tips of the H-shaped wire emerging from reflective-behavior electrons, and these majorans in theory could be used to perform quantum computing that are resistant to informat...
