> There's a supercut of the event on YouTube which solely shows every mention of the term "AI." It's about a minute long and by the end you want to cover your ears to shut out this sound and fury.

Amateurs. Apple would never allow something like this to happen.

Oh, wait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-CPfqZgWTk

Which one?

IntelliJ was unsupported ("community supported") when I joined in the summer of 2015. I built a new protobuf editor plugin during that period as a side project, mostly for myself, which suddenly became used by thousands of Googlers when IntelliJ became the supported IDE again in ~2016?

I eventually handed it over to JetBrains and I think it ships by default with IntelliJ now.

The settings in the internal version are "Antigravity User Settings". Pretty sure they're the same.

That's been Alphabet's site since the restructuring happened back in 2015. The site has barely changed in a decade.

While all of that is certainly true, even the DU6900 has the "Start with Smart Hub Home" option that defaults to enabled but can be disabled according to its manual. I assume that's what OP is seeing; it's a common thing to want to disable on Samsung TVs.

What is the half-screen display? On my Samsung S90D (new within the last year or so), I can set it to skip the "home" screen and go directly to the last input on power on. It works well.

Back in my day, we didn't need AI to accidentally drop production databases.

If you look at web traffic when making Gemini web requests, you'll see that Bard is still in the URL (so are LaMDA (pre-bard) and Assistant (pre-GenAI)):

Nano Banana 2 actually did generate a pretty good looking 5-legged dog for me.

https://gemini.google.com/share/e7a8b902ff67

But it didn't actually think it had done so, aligning with your observations. The last bits of its thinking were pretty sad (for it):

Analyzing Missing Anomaly

I'm focusing on the discrepancy - the persistent absence of the fifth leg in the generated images. Despite multiple attempts, the output consistently depicts a four-legged dog, contrary to the explicit requirement. This ongoing failure necessitates a shift in approach.

Acknowledge Leg Omission

I've made a final check, and unfortunately, the image still lacks the anomaly. The consistent absence of the fifth leg necessitates admitting my limitation. I'll provide the best image I could generate, clearly stating the missing feature.

In the Doom-era game Rise of the Triad, if you shrink the viewport all the way down to postage stamp size, it displays "Buy a 486!" underneath.

Just search the r/bard or r/geminiai subreddits for Logan. He's very famously a Google employee these days.

The process is somewhat archaic (often involving mailing around paper checks) and I imagine many people just don't want to deal. Rolling over pulls your money out of the market which means you could miss a good day (or a bad day).

I left a trail of 3-4 accounts until just recently, when I rolled them all over to my current Vanguard 401k. They were all invested in the same Vanguard fund so there's not much change other than simplicity.

I don't think Google was ever going to be the first to productize an LLM. LLMs say stupid shit - especially in the early days - and would've just attracted even more bad press if Google had been the front runner. OpenAI came along as a small, move-fast-and-break-things entity and introduced this tech to the public, and Google (and others) was able to join the fray after that seal was broken.

As far as I know, Apple has the majority of the market in the US where iMessage matters most.

I don't know what it is about the original DOOM games, but I just haven't felt the same joy playing any more modern shooters. Maybe it's the experience created by Doomguy's ridiculous running speed, or the sheer number of stupid monsters, or just nostalgia.
