I don't like ads either, but I do like that they (at least for now) have a paid tier with no ads. If there was an option to use google services at some paid tier, without being part of their ad network, I'd probably pay it. But there isn't and llm is as good as search these days (in many cases anyways) so I'm happy to jump ship. Piss off, google.
Trump in his first term was willing to go all-in on human spaceflight to mars...until he realized he couldn't get it done before the end of his term. Trump has always been interested in space stuff...but only if it's achievable within his term. This seems like a play to keep contractors employed and skills sharp until the next administration is seated, which will hopefully be willing to invest in goals longer than 4 years.
Unfortunately everyone picked an opinion two years ago, when AI was genuinely garbage beyond some basic bash scripts or a top 1000 bug/question on stack exchange (which mostly overlap). AI started getting really good in Dec '24, particularly spring '25 and by August 2025 even the $20/mo tier of chatgpt was starting to get legit as OpenAI started to try catching up with (now market leader) Anthropic and their blessed claude code. The 4.5/4.6 models released this year are nothing short of incredible, and the Qwen 3.5 series of models are right behind the state of the art models. Google is doing some stuff too but I'm kind of done giving them my money.
In 2-3 years we'll have found all 20,000 top reasons LLMs hallucinate things and solved for 95% of them
Creatives rallied against LLMs but as has been proven, nobody actually cares about making funny pictures of , they just want to know that they can.
sorry, can you elaborate?
according to the article, the module responsible for showing ads merely reacts to the output of the conversation with AI. i.e. if the AI says "this company's product is probably what you're looking for", then the ad module will show ads from those products. CPM/CPC tracking is the same, but the interesting part here is how to get into AI's recommendations into the first place.
What did he expect? That there wouldn't be ads? That's quite naive. If there is space, and money to be made, and they can do it, you can expect it to be done.
I will never get an appliance with internet connectivity. It's stupidly unnecessary and just a vulnerability. I don't want to be like that Vegas casino that got hacked through their thermometer.
Zero crashes on my Macs since 10 years or more.
5 blue screens on my Windows 11 acer last 28months.
Minimum 10 times "windows discovered a problem, and needs to reboot now", often by two or even three reboots in a row.
Not even telling what the problem is
How do you come to 10x when you have on one side zero crashes and on the other side 2 dozens, depending how you count
Well, when I read it was all pounds, in Europe, I wondered how much that is in kg. As I am lazy, I just divided by 2
Then, considering that this is at the Swizz and German border, I wondered if they used forced workers, like the many refugees to get the container on the truck!
I am relieved to read, they used a crane!!
Now I only have to figure what exactly -half a thousand degrees Fahrenheit is. I guess I can google for an AI to find that out.
They created fusion.
At least they claim so.
It is clear from the article.
And they are not the only ones. We have plenty of definitely non scam fusion companies that do fusion.
The question is will it once be commercial viable.
NASA tested solar sails just recently: https://www.nasa.gov/smallspac...
Well, the JPL has the Vasimr drive, a plasma engine.
They are working to "upgrade" it into a fusion drive.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
However regarding the upgrade to fusion they are pretty silent since a decade!!
Some key researchers founded their own company: Ad AStra.
The key researcher a female Ph. whose name I forgot, vanished from publications.
So no idea what is going on there. No idea actually if JPL is still involved.
Fact is they have a working - pretty nicely working - plasma engine. Since over 20 years. I guess there is again some big industry in the US who wants that project to fail. For what ever reason.
The magnetic field is not really a problem.
The people who did more math on it, I read around 2010 about some scientests/sf authors, figured the vacuum outside of solar systems symply is not dense enough in hydrogene.
It might - just slightly - be possible to have a drive based on fusion and hydrogen capture inside of a solar system. Question would be if that is practical or if it would not just make more sense, to have refueling based ice from comets etc.
so what does this actually mean for digital marketing? how do you even optimize to show up in an AI’s answers?
say I ask an LLM for a tool that does automated voice calls with speech-to-text -> LLM -> text-to-speech. it’ll spit out a shortlist. if that’s your product, how do you end up on it?
with google, at least we had a defined game: rankings, signals, tests, etc. this feels a lot fuzzier.
should be interesting times ahead for marketing.
That globe had nothing to do with fusion
OpenClaw, https://openclaw.ai/ is open source and free and runs on your device.
There are thousands of free models on https://huggingface.co/
If you can not prompt an AI to give you code for a trivial problem, then you are in need for help.
Regardless if you need it, or want it.
Up to you.
If you "discuss" with an AI, how you did the last 5 posts with me: no wonder you get nothing done.
Cobol programmers are down in the dumps.
