Whoa, Self-Adapting LLMs sound like a huge deal. I've always thought that LLMs, unlike modern search engines, were missing a feedback loop. This sounds like a potential technique for changing that.

WhatsApp now has ads. Thankfully, there’s an easy way to avoid them. Meta is rolling out ads on WhatsApp’s Status screen in the Updates tab, meaning if you never use that part of the app, you won’t see any ads. This is a big change for the app, which has never had ads before.

I've never opened the Updates tab, and I suspect my friends haven't either. Which is honestly too bad, because this would have been a great opportunity to try for a mass switch to Signal.

Disney is about to finally own all of Hulu. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Discovery is splitting into two publicly traded companies. Both announcements came on the same day and reminded me of a famous quote by Netscape CEO Jim Barksdale -- there are only two ways to make money: bundling and unbundling.

The generative AI space moves so quickly that it makes comparisons like this useless. GPT4-o is from November 2024. Claude 3.7 is from February 2025. Gemini 2.0 is from February 2025. All three of these have newer, much better versions. The Washington Post should have updated before publishing.

RIP Max. Long live HBO Max. Warner Bros. Discovery, which itself is a terrible name, says it will change the name of its Max streaming service back to HBO Max this summer. HBO is one of the best brands in television. Stop all this branding nonsense and just go straight back to calling it HBO.

More than 50% of desktop PCs are still on Windows 10. Microsoft is ending Windows 10 support on October 14, 2025, so supporting Microsoft 365 on Windows 10 for three more years suggests the company knows people and businesses won't upgrade. Only a successful Windows 12 launch can speed this up.
