Has anyone tested how generation speed compares to gpt-image-1?
It's consistently around 10 seconds, often faster.

cornedor commented on Meta: Shut down your invasive AI Discover feed mozillafoundation.org/en/... · Posted by u/speckx
After trying the app, it's hard for me to interpret this article as anything other than Mozilla lying. Sharing in this app is the same as any other social media app.
In the app there is a "Share" button at the top right. After clicking you see an interstitial with a big "Post" button at the bottom. When you click that button, the chat is shared.
Am I seeing something different than anybody else? Why would Mozilla lie like this? Most of the "demands" are already satisfied.
> Shut down the Discover feed until real privacy protections are in place.
Everything is already private by default and you can see what is public.
> Make all AI interactions private by default with no public sharing option unless explicitly enabled through informed consent.
This is true already
> Provide full transparency about how many users have unknowingly shared private information.
Meta shouldn't have to do this
> Create a universal, easy-to-use opt-out system for all Meta platforms that prevents user data from being used for AI training.
This already exists (EDIT, looks like only for EU users. Personally I don't believe this is related to the public sharing claims)
> Notify all users whose conversations may have been made public, and allow them to delete their content permanently.
This already exists
Not a user, but isn't de difference here that users might expect a shared item only to be visible for friends, but instead it is public?

First of all, this looks very impressive (besides that it will be used for memes, haha), but can someone explain why the faces and movements look almost cartoon-like?
Light doesn't match up at all (look at the Ronaldo example) and the animation is far from perfect. Go through the one with the joker frame-by-frame, and you can see his arms moving through his body and stuff like that.

The best experience? I guess seeing this message technically is an experience.
Shame they didn't make a website for people to use though. Oh well, next tab!
In this case, the reason might be that it needs WebGPU, which is only available in chromium based browsers. Changing my user agent doesn't let me in either. Text selection being disabled might be a "lazy" fix for text being selected while in game.

Back in the Flash days, I had a signature on a forum with a small (like 120x40) SWF file in it. It was a little "city builder" game where you could place different types of stores, and the goal was to earn as much money as possible. It would save the state to local storage, so you could continue in other comments I placed.

Cookie banners are a great reason for expirations dates on new policies. If it works: Great, renew it! If it does not work, is not required anymore or was just plain stupid: Never talk about it again and it will run out.
But who will actively admit that regulation failed and work to undo it?
Cookie banners is not a policy, it is used to work around a policy, and often implemented incorrectly. GPDR says you need to be given a specific informed decision, but often cookie banners show a big green approve button, and a less positive deny button (if that is even the case). When the law is being enforced better (Which is slowly happening) those cookie banners should get 2 the same looking buttons, and that would result in more denies. Hopefully, companies would realize that they need to solve their marketing differently.

Stop using Google Analytics and your need to place cookies and thus need for cookie popups vanishes.
Goatcounter or Plausible will do fine. Some decent frontend log parsing will also be a viable strategy.
Stop feeding Google your customers data for free.
They mostly use it to monitor (and automate) how successful ads are. Plausible is not a drop-in replacement for such use cases.
I have been using Kagi for a while now. Something I have noticed recently is that it ignores a lot more of the words in my search queries, I felt the same thing with google over time, it shows results it thinks I want not the things I want.
Have you tried reporting those queries? I've seen issues like this being mentioned in the changelog with certain keywords.
So is AirBnB, I wonder if they both use another service that is down.
