Same thing I do, check out Google News the next day to see who won. My beach house doesn't get any broadcast TV reception or cable, so I literally can only watch content delivered over the internet. The only content I actually pay for is Google Plus, so I can't watch the Emmys regardless, and I could care less. I'm sure the good jokes will all be on YouTube.

Did you see the pictures of the AIs in the study?

What's with that lighting? They didn't adjust for the fact that the woman looks slightly more like a serial killer, with a wrinkled skirt pulled up to her ribcage. I haven't seen graphics that bad since Metaverse. The study noticed it, but didn't adjust for it. Relevant quote:

"Johanna was perceived as less human-like than Johan"

Because the graphics were terrible.

JPEG-XL is a good format but I just realized yesterday that Google Docs on Android doesn't support inserting a webp image a decade after Google was pushing it. I had one from a website and needed to run it through imagemagick first.

Android supports it, all the apps using android image primitives supoort it, but one of Google's flagship apps still doesn't.

We used move much faster thirty years ago. If an app supported say GIF, PNM, and TGA when JPEG came out it was supported in the next release.

Hopefully this round will be better. It's probably a management problem ... maybe they will listen to their chatbot since they don't listen to their engineers.

It doesn't really matter if it makes a useful contribution to the field.

To which field? Math? Not even close. Data theft? absolutely.

If the mathematicians ever used ChatGPT to talk about math, then that is the source of the results. LLMs, by definition, cannot usefully contribute to anything that requires more than rearranging existing data. Rearranging existing data is their only function.
