That could be nice. If you think that rabbits crawl like on the sora.com homepage, but then you see one hopping in real life, you might have more of a sense of wonder about the world.

If they are copying nothing, why does it make me think of 7-ELEVEn?

I wonder how LLMs are going to change the cost of these activities as they become more accurate & capable. Feels like the costs should come down dramatically in the next few years.

Wow, thanks for the correction. Interesting that there's more than one monopoly US vs Google case.

It feels odd to me that this was the first proposal from the DOJ, considering that the case initially seemed quite focused on the advertising side of Google's business: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Un

I wonder what the bounds of this would be. Most people still think of Chrome as just a browser, but there is quite a bit of other stuff: Chrome Web Store ChromeOS Chromebook (somewhat intertwined with Android) Chromecast (discontinued, sort

It is definitely a bit-flip type of glitch to go from subserviently answering queries to suddenly attack the user. I do agree that it may have formed the response based on deducing cheating, though. Perhaps Gemini was trained on too much of

Google gave this statement to CBS: "Large language models can sometimes respond with non-sensical responses, and this is an example of that. This response violated our policies and we've taken action to prevent similar outputs fro

If it were fake, I don't think Google would issue this statement to CBS News: "Large language models can sometimes respond with non-sensical responses, and this is an example of that. This response violated our policies and we&#x2

That seems to be what Tesla is planning to do with Optimus.

I expect this trend to begin reversing as we start getting AI models that are intended to run locally.

Right, there's so many ways that they could have made these characters slightly less lazy & deceptive and it would've been fine. It's not the first Apple ad to be in poor taste this year. https://www.youtube.co

Have they published this ahead of other pages or is it just me? The linked Apple Store page says "MacBook Pro blasts forward with the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max chips" so it seems like the old version of the page still?

My writing ability might not be good enough to make them flashy here on HN, but I am sure that each of the scenarios could be made very flashy or moving with a bit of imagination & Apple's still-excellent production quality. One of

No way! There are definitely legitimate use-cases for all of the features demoed in these ads, but Apple's marketing took a darker path. Email to boss: could've been someone who had a genuine struggle with language using it to fin

It's just a very standard ad. A lot better than these horrible ads from Apple, though.

I like Ubuntu but agree that this post would've been better off without the comparison. Let's just ignore it. The Apple Intelligence ads really are sending a terrible message. Humanity needs more honesty, not a higher pile of lies

That's a really good point. It's been more than a decade since I last upgraded a computer.

OK, I want to partly take back my comment. The business use case is brilliant.

I could never justify getting an iMac. All the downsides of a laptop & desktop in one; not upgradeable and not portable. Leaves me wondering how many of these Apple actually sell. A Mac Mini with a separate screen feels like it makes fa

They could share their opinions on the policies of each candidate. That could be great at helping people see perspectives other than their own, so that they can weigh it all up and make their own decision. Doing an endorsement is kind of th

I would extend that to all businesses. For the sake of the business & their customers it's usually best to keep politics out of it.

It feels awkward posting this on HN since I'm sure everyone here is quite capable of solving the problem of counting the number of words in text. It's only been a feature of most text editors & word processors for the past 30

Which route would such a cable take to Australia? The shortest routes between Singapore & Australia seem to go through Indonesia's territorial waters, but there seems to be about 2000 - 3000 km extra involved in order to avoid that

If it hit the vehicle and then hit one of the people who had exited the vehicle with enough force for it to result in a fatality, it sounds like it might not have applied any braking. Of course, that depends on the speed it was traveling at

The description has me wondering if this was definitely a case where FSD was being used. There have been other cases in the past where drivers had an accident and claimed they were using autopilot when they actually were not. I don't k

When I tried Apple Vision Pro I thought the quality might be good enough for coding. I don't think I could bear wearing it for long periods, though.

I hope they do that for Street View. Actually, I would like it to be a toggle. Sometimes I might want to know if a place is likely to be busy or not. Sometimes there's a bus blocking the storefront that I want to see.
