Google says a fix for Gemini’s shame spiral is on its way

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-06 05:10:22

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Gemini bug results in the AI getting stuck in an infinite loop of critical responses, including calling itself a disgrace. Google’s Logan Kilpatrick says that the company is working on fixing the bug. If you check in on Gemini yourself, the chatbot will assure you that it does not have feelings and it’s just a bug. While most people have been getting along fine with Gemini, some users have noticed a bug where the AI chatbot seemingly spirals with respo

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-06 05:32:11

OpenAI finally released its long-awaited GPT-5 model this week, unsurprisingly proclaiming it its best yet with regards to coding, accuracy, safety and more. CEO Sam Altman even compared the jump up in quality to when the iPhone first adopted a Retina display in a press briefing ahead of the announcement. Big talk indeed. Given ChatGPT’s integration with Apple Intelligence , you might be wondering when the latest model will arrive on the devices that support it. The answer is sooner rather than

The end is near for flagships with a meagre 128GB storage

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-06 10:06:19

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro may start at 256GB of internal storage, eliminating the older 128GB option. A $50 price increase is expected alongside the bumped-up base storage tier. Apple’s move could pressure remaining Android flagships, such as the Galaxy S and Pixel lineups, to ditch low-storage models and finally start at 256GB. Android flagships have long moved to higher storage options, with many offering as much as 1TB of storage. While external stora

Google is fixing a bug that causes Gemini to keep calling itself a 'failure'

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-06 10:30:33

Gemini has been acting strangely for some users over the past few weeks. There are multiple reports online of users getting responses from Gemini that are oddly self-flagellating. A screenshot from an X user back in June showed Gemini saying "...I am a fool. I have made so many mistakes that I can no longer be trusted." The AI chatbot then deleted all the files with codes it created. Now, as a response to another post on X that showed a similar issue, Google's product lead for AI Studio, Logan K

My 4 favorite image editing apps on Linux - and two are free Photoshop alternatives

Trump’s Golden Dome Sparks Unprecedented Surge in Space Force Funding

The U.S. Space Force’s budget for 2026 could see a 40% increase compared to this year, which is mostly driven by President Donald Trump’s fantasy of creating a futuristic missile defense system that uses space-based sensors and weapons. A recent report by the Center for Space Policy and Strategy highlights the Golden Dome’s role in driving the increase in funding allocated toward the Space Force.

FLUX.1-Krea and the Rise of Opinionated Models

AI-generated images have a general look to them. Shiny, bright, waxy-skin, and over-use of bokeh. From Midjourney to Gemini to OpenAI, the AI Look is consistent. Enthusiasts and professionals wrestle with prompts and even fine-tune these models to tamp down the AI smell, with varying degrees of success. Examples of the "AI Look", provided by Krea in their technical paper. Last week, Krea launched an open model, FLUX.1-Krea, that’s built to avoid the “AI Look”. Their writeup is tremendous: it d

Here’s an interesting take on Germany’s exit tax, which I have written about before: Leave Germany before your business gets big. What do I mean by that? I mean that once you’re a business owner in Germany and your business has reached a certain size, you are essentially barred from ever moving out of the country again. Crazy, right?
