@antipodean You're right, memory was a bit off. Prompt I used was 'Generate a cartoon of the image'.
-
@antipodean yeah tried using copilot to generate an image once and it was terrible, not one to use for that. Oddly I didn't decide it being shit was a political issue though.

Google should stick to search.

Google's AI came in on my phone to replace the existing "Google Assistant" in the last Samsung update. Initially I thought great, now I can get it to do more than the absolute basic tasks around the house.
My very first test was opening my garage door..turns out Gemini doesn't work with smart devices that require a pin..didn't even last a day before I had to revert to the dumb but 80% of the time usable assistant.

AI meaning "Actually Indians"
AI company files for bankruptcy after being exposed as 700 Indian engineers - Dexerto
An ambitious company that claimed to make apps using AI has been exposed as hundreds of human workers based in India.

I'm using two paid services at the moment, mainly to support work and keep up to date.
Cursor AI is pretty impressive. I've dismissive of a VS-Code fork compnay being worth billions, but then I tried it. The interface is excellent, and it's so damn helpful.
The other one is Grok. There is some really interesting happening with this implementation of the tech. It feels more consistent and helpful. The iteration on improvements must be making their competitors tear their hair out.
The 3.5 version is just around the corner, and the developers seem pretty pleased with themselves on X. They seem genuinely excited.
If anybody has some good MDC ules or resources they want to share, I'm all ears.

Just read Vernor Vinge's Singularity essay. Kinda interesting at how much stuff he got right so long ago, but also... how much hasn't happened... yet.
Some naivete around technical capabilities. Plenty of interesting thought-experiment around where it could all lead to.
And some prescient thoughts around what we currently think of "AI" - which is fucking bullshit - vs "real AI". -

Yeah - written in 1993. And while a "scientific essay" - mostly using Science-Fiction as reference points.
I believe he was the one that coined the term "Singularity". And interesting is his estimate of when it would happen - "I'll be surprised if this event occurs before 2005 or after 2030."
While today's "AI" is not really anything more than advanced-analytics... if leveraged by smart people towards its own advancement - he might not be too far off. -
I am finding Grok extremely useful for sifting through the bullshit on X at the moment. You see a political commentator (from either side) make some claim, then in the replies someone simply says "@grok is this true"? and it gives a big rundown of all the nuances and why said commentator is either exaggerating their claims, or straight up lying (e.g. using a video from years ago claiming it is current etc). I know it is not perfect but it's a damn sight more accurate than what a lot of the grifters are putting out there.

It's very good at showing both sides, even if it doesn't agree.
The next update is focused on improving the quality of sources for that, as it still has a bias based on the media sources it's using.
It's great at threads where you want to dive in a bit, or don't know a term. A very useful feature.

New voice is coming soon too.
Have you tried the vision? I got a bunch of stuff out of the fridge and chucked on the camera for and we discussed what we could make with it.
When this shit is in AR glasses and off a phone it’s going to be crazy what we can do.
-
Not tried vision yet. Stuff is getting too crazy. Grok voice has a kids storyteller mode. Got my 3yo on it and grok led her through a choose your own adventure story about her and her pink bunny.
How long before ai is in kids toys? I'm hanging out for one that can manage my home smart devices.
