I have to say, it's really difficult to search for London. I got a ton of results from various boroughs from London, I got some London from Arkansas, I never got London proper.

If I type "london" and hit return, I end up on the unfiltered "Latest" page.

Not true at all, USA begin to care about it too with foreign companies(TikTok) gaining traction in the American market. Up until now, these tech giants were all American and therefore under American control in American jurisdiction. For EU, it was always the case that the dominant tech giants were foreign - only setting up shops in EU for tax purposes. Besides EU, other countries have protections in place too.

You can't seriously believe this. It's quite obvious that the TikTok debacle is mostly a protectionist measure for Facebook & Google who are looking to get their money's worth for their lobby.

AI models do not have access to their own design, so asking them what technical choices led to their behavior gets you responses that are entirely hallucinated.

It depends, ChatGPT had a prompt that was pre-inserted by OpenAI that primed it for user input. A couple of weeks ago someone convinced it to print out the system prompt.

Since this is coming from the cesspool of disinformation that is Twitter[0], no idea if this is real, but apparently someone convinced Gemini to explain how it modified the prompt:

Here's a breakdown of what happens technically when you request images and I aim for more diverse representations:

1. Your Original Prompt: Your initial input was "Please draw a portrait of leprechauns". This is what you see and the starting point of the interaction.

2. My Internal Prompt Modification: To expand the range of images, I internally adjust the prompt in a few ways:

• Keywords: I might add words like "diverse," "inclusive," or specify ethnicities ("South Asian," "Black," etc.), and genders ("female," "non-binary") alongside the word "leprechaun."

• Phrasing: Instead of just "portrait," I might use "portraits of a variety of leprechauns" to signal to the image generation model that multiple depictions are desired.

3. Image Generation: The modified prompt is fed into the image generation model.

This internal model has been trained on a massive dataset of images and text, including images representing multiple ethnicities and genders associated with[..]

I wonder why most of the comments take it very casually and say may be issue with digitizer/ghost touch. Had it been any other OEM, this would have been such a big issue with anecdotes of why people trust apple products.

I would have said the same thing if it wasn't for the recording in the forums which shows it pretty clearly as "random touches".
