Imagine going to the doctor, telling them exactly how you feel, only to have subsequent transcription add incorrect information and change your story. This may be the case for medical centers that use Whisper, an OpenAI transcription tool. ABC News reports that more than a dozen developers, software engineers, and academic researchers believe that Whisper creates hallucinations, including fake drugs, racial and violent statements. He said he found evidence that. But last month, the latest version of Whisper was downloaded 4.2 million times on open source AI platform HuggingFace. This tool is also included in Oracle and Microsoft cloud computing…
At last weekend’s AMA, Instagram head Adam Mosseri shared some insight into why some videos on the platform appear to degrade in quality long after they’re posted, but it’s all about performance. It came down to . In response to a question about older stories appearing “blurred” in the highlights, Mosseri said: “In general, we want to show the highest quality video possible. But if something doesn’t get watched for a long time, the majority of views are in the beginning, so lower quality videos If the video then spikes in popularity again, “then we will re-render the video at…
Apple’s rumored smart home display may look a lot like its old friend, the early 2000s iMac G4. In this weekend’s Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reported that the countertop tablet features a square screen “set diagonally on a small base, reminiscent of the iMac G4’s circular base.” I am. The speakers may also be housed here. The device is expected to arrive sometime next year, followed by a high-end version with robotic limbs that can reposition the display.The first more affordable model will have a relatively small screen, “about the size of two iPhones side by side,” Garman said.…
The long-promised Playdate Stereo Dock is officially retired, at least for now. After months of a desktop accessory stalled in development, Panic has updated the product page to no longer say “coming soon,” but instead to indicate that there are issues with the Bluetooth experience and that the factory that made it is no longer available. It said it was suspended on deadline. That, and the increased cost of resolving it all. First announced in 2021, the Stereo Dock was meant to be a charging dock that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker (and pen holder), as well as a cute…
Image credit: Shift Publishing As someone who, like many British comics readers, grew up reading anthology comics on a regular basis, I’d like to see a healthy and sustained (not to mention sustainable) resurgence of this scene. It’s great to see what it looks like. The shelves of mainstream newsagents are lined with numerous British anthologies long limited to the year 2000, its sister title the Judge Dredd megazine, and numerous reprints of outdated American material. Masu. Now we have no choice. In fact, given the spacing between issues of each publication, fans often have the time and money to…
Google may be close to unveiling an AI agent that can interact with web browsers and help users automate their daily tasks. According to The Information, the company is working on a “computer-based agent” codenamed Project Jarvis, which could be previewed as early as December. Sources who spoke to The Information said Jarvis “frequently captures screenshots of what’s on his computer screen before taking any action, such as clicking a button or typing in a text field.” “By interpreting the shot, it responds to human commands.”Jarvis is reportedly made to work only in web browsers, specifically Chrome, to help with…

Google is reportedly working on a new Android API for something called Rich Oncoming Notices. This will allow apps to display at-a-glance information in the status bar, similar to live activity in Apple’s Dynamic Island on iPhone. This is according to journalist Mishaal Rahman, who discovered the code for the Android 15 QPR1 Beta 3 release. It’s likely to work a lot like the time tracker you see during calls today. A little text appears in a speech bubble at the top of the display that you can tap to open the app with more information.Writing for Android Authority, Rahman…
One thing I didn’t expect to happen this year was a new entry in Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach series. But the author announced exactly that in April, and ever since then I’ve been pretty much counting the days until this book’s release. Absolution, the fourth novel in what has previously existed as a trilogy, is released this week and takes us back to the beginnings of Area X and the ill-fated first expedition to explore it. For the uninitiated, the series deals with a strange coastal region of the United States that has been inexplicably closed off by an invisible…
