OpenAI Realizes It Made a Terrible Mistake

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-25 10:30:56

OpenAI claims to have figured out what's driving "hallucinations," or AI models' strong tendency to make up answers that are factually incorrect. It's a major problem plaguing the entire industry, greatly undercutting the usefulness of the tech. Worse yet, experts have found that the problem is getting worse as AI models get more capable. As a result, despite incurring astronomical expenses in their deployment, frontier AI models are still prone to making inaccurate claims when faced with a pr

Gemini Live is giving me the confidence to speak my second language

Prakhar Khanna / Android Authority Recently when testing out Gemini’s ability to recognize different accents and languages, I realized that the AI tool’s Live mode actually understands my second language: Afrikaans. This lead to me having a conversation about different topics in the language and I realized that the chatbot could actually coach me and help me practice.

I can’t wait for Samsung and Google to copy this revolutionary iPhone 17 feature

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-24 19:00:37

Joe Maring / Android Authority Every Apple event, be it WWDC or the new iPhone launch, brings me a set of confusing thoughts. There’s a lot of mockery over what Apple has decided to copy innovate and their random announcements that no one asked for (hello, iPhone Air), but also a bit of jealousy-slash-awe at Apple’s pull over the entire phone industry. I see that new front-facing camera, and I know many Android brands are now scrambling to copy it in 2026; it’ll easily be the new gold standard

Kodak's mini camera fits on your keyring and is smaller than an AirPods case

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-25 00:42:27

Kodak has shrunk a camera to fit onto a keyring, but it still manages to shoot both photo and video. It's hard not to compare the Kodak Charmera to the ubiquitous Labubu craze, considering the highly collectible nature of Reto Pro selling these officially licensed mini cameras as a single blind box for $29.99 or a full set of six for $179.94. The keyring cameras, which only weigh 30 grams, are already sold out on the Reto Pro website, but are expected to be restocked. The blind box can be unwra

California's age verification bill for app stores and operating systems takes another step forward

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-25 08:43:39

A California bill that would require operating system and app store providers to verify users' ages before they can download apps has cleared the Assembly 58-0, and will now move on to Gov. Gavin Newsom, Politico reports. The Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043), introduced by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, does not require photo identification for verification, but puts the onus on the platforms to provide tools for parents to indicate the user's age during a device's setup, and use this informatio

Perceived Age (2024)

"To live is to be other. It's not even possible to feel, if one feels today what he felt yesterday. To feel today what one felt yesterday is not to feel—it's to remember today what was felt yesterday, to be today’s living corpse of what yesterday was lived and lost." -- Fernando Pessoa At 2:15 PM on June 5th, kids burst through school doors, sprinting towards three months of freedom.

Resizing images in Rust, now with EXIF orientation support

Resizing images in Rust, now with EXIF orientation support Resizing an image is one of those programming tasks that seems simple, but has some rough edges. One common mistake is forgetting to handle the EXIF orientation, which can make resized images look very different from the original. Last year I wrote a create_thumbnail tool to resize images, and today I released a small update. Now it’s aware of EXIF orientation, and it no longer mangles these images.
