RIP Google Assistant. Just found out my phone switched and.. I'm not excited about it. Kinda liked succinct answers. *sigh* tech.yahoo.com/ai/gemini/ar...

Google switches from Google Assistant to Gemini. Android users react
Google Assistant began to be removed from all Android mobile devices on Sept. 3. Here's what the change means.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

So Netflix is using "AI" to upscale old movies and shows, with obvious results. Using an algorithm to upscale old video isn't a terrible thing, but to do it right you need to have someone willing to go over every frame. Trouble is, dipshits think it's magic.

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

the musk family is, uh, something www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...
In a voice-over, Gibney says there are 14 known children of Musk’s but likely many more. Musk has built a compound in Austin for the children and their mothers.

His thinking, according to tech journalist Kara Swisher: “I have superior genes, and I need to procreate.”

Musk’s parents also appear in the documentary. His father Errol, it should be noted, told the Sun in 2022 that “the only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce.” He was defending having a second child with his stepdaughter. (You read that correctly.) Errol describes his son’s childhood as one rife with bullying and beatdowns.

His mother, Maye, meanwhile describes a chaotic household in which Errol would tell her three times a day how stupid and ugly she was, before occasionally beating her.

I fundamentally agree, but we diverge a little bit at the end because I think a lot of the Democrats—especially Democratic leaders—know exactly what they're doing and are doing it on purpose. Pelosi was a master at it when she was Speaker, and Jeffries is doing his best to emulate.
