  • Oh my gosh, when I was a child I remember going into a shop at the beach which sold all kinds of holographic images. And I remember a couple of them had pictures of things like a telescope or binoculars, and you could actually look into them! I’ve been searching for a while for any kind of information about these things, and I was almost ready to believe that I had just imagined it. But there is the same thing just 1 minute into this video!




  • The article is quite interesting and has nothing to do with Google customizing results based on location, which many commenters seem to be assuming. Rather, the article is taking about how you can get dramatically different results by searching for the same thing in different languages. While that is pretty obvious, since the “same word” in two different languages is effectively 2 entirely different words to a computer, there are some interesting implications to it.





  • This bill seems somewhat misguided. How in the hell is something like a large language model going to cause a mass casualty incident? What I am more worried about is things that could more realistically pose a danger. What if robotic dogs patrolling the border have machine guns mounted on their backs, then a child does something unexpected and the robot wipes out an entire family? What if a self driving car suddenly takes off at full speed through a parade? They are trying to slot AI into everything now, and it will inevitably end up in some places that are going to cause loss of life. But chatbots? Give me a break.
