It's interesting how people are reacting to the OpenAI and Gemini demos on a purely technical achievement level without realizing it.

The audience ooh'd and aah'd when Gemini identified the speaker on the table when asked "what makes sound?"

Indeed, that's very impressive as a technical accomplishment. It's amazing for an AI.

The problem is that Google immediately took the leap to "this will help you in your day-to-day life!" & put it on all our phones.

Bruh I know what a speaker looks like.

Oh look.

Via Aaron Fritschner:

Justice #Alito says his wife Martha-Ann Alito had an altercation with neighbors about a "'Fuck Trump' sign that was within 50 feet of where children await the school bus in Jan 21."

Except... FCPS and ACPS were all remote in January of 2021. No children were waiting for buses

The right simply does not understand how the left views the world, I'm convinced.

So frequently they will post this unhinged "gotcha" shit where they think that if they just apply what's happening to someone on the right to someone on the left that we'll just fold once we see the same standard applied to "our side" and every single time everyone on the left is just like, yeah, sounds good.
