Hear hear

kat_angstrom , to Technology in Apple Intelligence won't launch in EU in 2024 due to antitrust regulation, company says

More sugar

kat_angstrom , to Games in Indie games using retro graphics

I got 30hrs out of Animal Well and enjoyed every moment of it :)

SLC default

kat_angstrom , to Movies in London cinema drops AI-written film after backlash

Created by Peter Luisi, the movie has been marketed as the "first feature film written entirely by AI".

It follows a celebrated screenwriter called Jack who finds his world shaken when he encounters a cutting-edge AI scriptwriting system.

After initially being sceptical, Jack realises the AI matches his skills and surpasses his empathy and understanding of human emotions.

This sounds like the dumbest movie ever written, by AI or otherwise.

kat_angstrom , to Android in HTC U24 series with Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 coming on June 12

I doubt it'll have the "Edge sense" (squeeze for actions) feature, but I gotta say, for my U11+ it was a game changer and I miss it

kat_angstrom , to Canada in Loblaws boycott: Costco and Walmart are Canadians’ top low-cost grocery store alternatives

Yeah, my Loblaws boycott is about three months old, but I've been boycotting Walmart for 20+ years

kat_angstrom , to Technology in Humane AI Pin is a disaster: Founders already want to sell the company

Nerds still are smarter than us.

Unfortunately a cult of managers has arisen to rule over the nerds and they hype with an iron fist.

kat_angstrom , to Android in Adobe Acrobat may soon use on-device AI to summarize documents on Android

As usual with headlines involving either AI or Adobe,

Meh

kat_angstrom , to Games in IGN immediately lays off every non-UK person at their newly bought sites, including some key members like deputy editor Alice Bell

I hate how this is phrased as "redundancies". IGN literally JUST bought these outlets, they haven't had time to dig into and examine the organizations they acquired; it's just straight into the Corpo playbook of "lay people off and let the dust settle where it may".

These are people, not "redundancies". They contributed in the old organization, and they could contribute in the new, but they never even got the chance.

kat_angstrom , to Technology in Slack has been scanning your messages to train its AI models

Always have been, apparently

kat_angstrom , to Canada in I am a former immigration minister. Unsustainable population increases won't solve Canada's underlying issues - The Hub

"The greatest overriding challenge Canada now faces is that for ten years incomes have stagnated.”

Yeah, try 40 years actually.

kat_angstrom , to Technology in Google Accidentally Deleted $125 Billion Pension Fund's Account

Yeah, this has definitely happened before, we just don't hear about it in the news. I am personally aware of a Canadian non-profit whose Google accounts were nuked with no notice or explanation last year, leading to massive disruptions for 150 staff and even more clients. They never found out why, and had to restore from backups onto a brand new Google business account
