Tonight's music, A Midnight Sand Blasting edition: "Broke" by Modest Mouse music.youtube.com/watch?v=Orgo...

GPT 4.5 isn't even better at the few things it claims: Emotional intelligence, creativity, or less hallucination 😬 youtu.be/boXl0CqRIWQ

ChatGPT's horsey_books-style tweets are way better than anything weird BlueSky has come up with 🐎 #onlystatic

Incredible exclusive interview by South Korea's Chosun Ilbo (from Kyiv) of the two North Koreans captured in Kursk. www.chosun.com/english/nort...

Image recognition is such a defining point for AIs that I'm surprised it's not a stat devs brag about - it will be central to giving AI presence in the world. 4o got it after I clarified that she is Korean, but Perudo was a great guess as it uses the same bright colors as 곡기 dice. o3-mini failed

I'll wear the big Apple VR goggles if I can run this filter on it

Giving retail investors access to futures is already bad, and Robinhood is including *Bitcoin* futures! πŸ™€ This is going to absolutely vacuum money out of people's accounts and they won't even know why. robinhood.com/us/en/about/...

Tonight's music, A Polaroid Fluttering Out The Window edition: "The Freedom We Deserve" by N'we Jinan Artists, Songhees Nation, BC youtu.be/9faweB7WwRI

This riria mix is fun workout music, but also has the biggest "most replayed" spike I've ever seen on a YouTube timeline. Don't read the comments if you don't want to ruin the surprise - a sneak peek begins at 32 minutes, then hops back in a few minutes later youtu.be/Fa8LQLy4C5A πŸ‡

What an absolute embarrassment for Google to be so easily out-search-engined by ChatGPT. The entire Google search page gets obsessed with telling me about Gritty, and only manages to tangentially mention Swoop further down on the page when a news article compares all three Philly mascots.

Getting a chance to see the people behind the robot cafe was heartwarming, and the roboticist is truly a helper in the world. "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." - Mister Rogers youtu.be/-iLcOLvNfz0

AI is also better than humans at identifying misleading photos, in case you want to, y'know, check with it before reposting fake images.

I experiment with small AIs on my laptop, and those poor little guys are struggling when I have them evaluate news headlines - They think Elon is proposing that foreign aid could be tracked using DogeCoin and they keep saying "former President Trump"

The "Discover" tab on Bluesky is so bad that I'm starting to think it's counting my clicks on "show less of this" and "block account" as positive engagement

Yves in AMNY is a crossover I didn't expect to see today 🍎 🍎

new o just dropped openai.com/index/openai... Although you should probably read up on how to prompt o models and know the limitations of mini models before expecting too much. But, it has web-browsing!

This set is fun, but not the mind-bending experience I'd hoped for while reading the comments. A nice change from hearing the same DnB drops from every other DJ, but large parts of this set are also just album versions of electronica from 20 years ago 🀷 youtu.be/T1tcUfUhR5U

This interaction really stuck with me, where the guy is struggling to flee his house via bike while the winds whipped at his paintings, then he rides off into the smoke. Here's the very impactful follow-up: youtu.be/3PNidttN_SE

Claude is still *so bad* with image recognition, that it's really hard to understand. This is *after* they debuted their computer use agent, which presumably relies on this kind of image knowledge to accomplish tasks. 🫀 #AI

This guy is just making vlogs, but they are so unintentionally in the aesthetic of 'Clerks' and 'Slacker' that it is absolutely delightful youtu.be/T5hqjBW6gnw

"would bring more video to Perplexity" - Yes, it certainly would. An almost incomprehensible amount of video that only a few companies worldwide could deliver www.cnbc.com/2025/01/18/p...
