As Ren masqueraded as Musk on our video chat, frames from the call were sent over to Reality Defender’s custom model for analysis, and the company’s widget on the screen alerted me to the fact that I was likely looking at an AI-generated deepfake and not the real Elon.

Starting this week, the “Multisearch” feature in Google Lens will let users point their cameras at an object and ask questions about it. AI will then provide an answer along with links to more resources.

Via LOLGOP:
Unemployment claims this week are 187,000, one of the lowest numbers ever recorded and nearly a record low per capita.
Maybe you're not impressed with going from record high claims under #Trump to record lows under #Biden.

Found something remarkable (and also quite sad).
In 1997, Wired published "The Long Boom", a hyper-optimistic article about how we'd achieve Utopia by 2020.
The authors included notes on some "scenario spoilers"—negative events that might send is in a worse direction.
...and those spoilers turned out to be almost spookily accurate.
