Mother and 16 month old baby DENIED entry to United Flight for using the wrong PRONOUNS for flight attendant.

“The flight attendant has denied access to us because he said I made a derogatory comment about one of the flight attendants because I didn’t use the right pronoun”

Professor Anderson was a giant of the field. Yet he often took the time to drop me a note of appreciation when he liked something I published. It meant a lot to me, especially as a junior scholar. I corresponded with him just last week. This is a complete shock. RIP Ross

If you're a tech executive the minimum you need is a good poker face when you're asked a question like "Is your model trained on YouTube data?"

[Ralph Brooks @ralphbrooks]

My take on Open AI Sora:

If you are going to create a TON of HQ video from different angles, you need to simulate it. There are a lot of things though that lead me to believe UE5 is being used in part to create the training data.

Like watching a 2007 Nokia fan telling you iPhone is not that advanced because you can do the same with Symbian.

He could’ve just said nothing, taken the best things of visionOS, add eye tracking back and be a king. Now he’s got his own Ballmer iPhone video. Surprising misstep

I’ve been using Google’s new Gemini Advanced AI for the past six weeks.

It is clearly at the level of GPT-4, but doesn’t clearly exceed it. It has its own strengths and weaknesses. It can shed some light on our AI future. And it is full of ghosts. https://t.co/dMv06zaVHK

[Marques Brownlee @MKBHD]

Ok so I've been testing Google's Gemini (the artist formerly known as Bard) on a few phones for a few weeks now. Some things I've noticed that stood out:

Upsides
- Tons of useful new generative features - can write letters, craft trip plans, create images, etc. All the good stuff
- Notably better semantic understanding of random fact-based questions

Downsides
- It's missing some classic Google Assistant features like home control and adding to shopping lists
- The new pop-up UI is a little more complex, but you can get used to it
- Renaming it is gonna confuse a lot of people for no reason

It's rolling out today and you can play with it: https://t.co/KM905oBEQM

Interesting - the microphone on a mobile phone can be remotely activated even if the phone is switched off - this is why initially intelligence people took out the battery during meetings. Until the iPhone with non-removable battery arrived: phones no longer allowed in the room.

Privacy is hard. Everything can be a microphone. You can recover audio data from:
🛍️The vibrations of chip bags in a video
💡The slight fluctuations of light as hanging lightbulbs are moved by speech
🤖The lidar beams of robot vacuum cleaners
🤳The autofocus in your phone picture

I just watched the roughly 45-minute footage of October 7th at a private screening in NYC. Here are my immediate thoughts minutes after watching it. 🧵
