The look and feel of the new iOS reminds me of Windows Vista, and as ugly. Plus everything feels slower, and even in Safari UX is worse. Why do I have to do two clicks to go back to the previous page?!? Damn Apple, what a disaster.

In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as “Google” once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.

is dunkin cereal milk gluten fr

Al Overview

+1
No, Dunkin' Cereal Milk is not gluten-free because it contains milk, which is a common allergen, and as a result, it is not suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
However, coffee drinks, dairy milk, and non-dairy milks like oat, almond, and coconut milk are naturally gluten-free at Dunkin'.

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.
Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Ok, I'm bad at geography, but this google AI is worse than me. Apparently, it took the information from some fictional famdom wiki that honestly I don't want to investigate further. 🥲

What's left of a ~16th century alembic from the Veneto region. Alembics were used for distillation, most notoriously by alchemists to try (and fail) to turn lead into gold. Today we call such a distillation device an LLM chatbot. #Italy25
An alembic in pretty bad shape, from the Museo Zuckermann in Padova, Italy.
