Signal CEO Whittaker said that in the worst case scenario, they would work with partners and the community to see if they could find ways to circumvent these rules. Signal also did this when the app was blocked in Russia or Iran. "But ultimately, we would leave the market before we had to comply with dangerous laws like these."

This is why we need the ability to sideload apps.

Any chance this will lead Microsoft to re-evaluate its use of AI?

Launching October 1st, Gemini For Home is a suite of new AI-powered features for Google’s smart home hardware and software.

The biggest change: Gemini is replacing Google Assistant on all of Google’s smart speakers, all the way back to the original Google Home speaker. This LLM-powered upgrade, announced at Google I/O, will be available through an Early Access program at first, with a wider rollout planned for next year.

On smart speakers, Gemini brings an entirely new voice assistant that uses and understands natural language, can interpret context, and can pull in more real-time information. You still activate it with the wake words “hey Google,” but Google Assistant has been evicted.

“Gemini for Home is the intelligence for your entire home,” Anish Kattukaran, head of product at Google Home and Nest, tells The Verge. “It’s not going to just replace Assistant on speakers and displays, but it’s going to upgrade your other devices as well, your cameras and doorbells, where you interact with those devices, and bring those smarts collectively to your entire home.”

I'm not excited for Apple to invent smart homes after this, completing the duopoly of LLMs being in everyone's homes even harder than before.

Long live Home Assistant

Corporations don't have stable political identities.

They'll promote trans people if it makes them money.

And then sell trans people to ICE the next quarter if it makes them even more money.

And then use a shell company to sell trans merch to the people boycotting them.

It's always "notorious" with these guys.

Jones says that linguists and subtitlers are not necessarily against AI – but at the moment, it’s making practitioners’ lives harder rather than easier. “In every industry, AI is being used to replace all the creative things that bring us joy instead of the boring, tedious tasks we hate doing,” she says.

Thanks for the Discord link. I looked into it and updated my comment.

~~Link in the OP is fake, please update to correct site.~~

Correction: I was wrong. Comick.dev is not fake. The base Comick.io site did briefly link to comick.dev, but the link has since been removed, likely because comick.dev was throwing errors (see screenshot below).

After looking deeper into it, here's my understanding:

• comick.io is and will remain the official website.
• comick.dev is a temp site the owner set up for building and testing the new tracker version of ComicK. It will likely disappear or be archived once development is complete.
• If your account is older than 1.5 months (the site owner was forced to remove servers with more recent data), you should be able to log in and retrieve your lists from comick.dev.
• We'll probably have to wait a couple of weeks for real news about the future of ComicK.

Those are definitely words.
