It's not exactly the missing link, but a lot of brands have started adding features that could be seen as in between, like a little robot arm to pick things up, and little "legs" to go up stairs. https://www.cnet.c

This is really frustrating to me, it's hard to find seitan outside of Chinese shaokao (BBQ skewers) restaurants. There's a local brand of wheat-meat that even runs a deli that's pretty good, but people are so afraid of gluten

Claude's has a funny bug where if you keep shooting a dead player before they respawn, you rack up kills fast. I thought I was doing so well until I realized. Impressive that they can get this far now.

It'll be hilarious (in a tragic way) if Google adds ads to Gemini using their existing platform and suddenly it becomes a scammer in the middle of chats.

The 3D mesh generator is really cool too: https://ai.meta.com/sam3d/ It's not perfect, but it seems to handle occlusion very well (e.g. a person in a chair can be separated into a person mesh and a chair mesh) and

I'm not even sure if the gotos not doing anything is the point or not. It definitely makes it less "harmful", at the cost of also not being useful.
