I asked Gemini to generate an image, but it errored and produced this. I can't tell if the image is AI generated or if Google engineers decided: Engineer 1: We need an error image. Any ideas? Engineer 2: Let's use John's pics since he’s bad at his job. It'll be funny. Engineer

Forget the Turing Test. We need the Babysitter Benchmark. It’s simple: The lead engineer has to leave their AI robot alone in a room with their own toddler for 60 minutes. If they hesitate, it’s not AGI. It’s just a calculator with legs.

Every Thanksgiving, my family argues over who has the most "refined" palate. I got tired of the debate, so I wrote a game to settle it. Blind taste wines, get quizzed on their characteristics, and see who’s the best sommelier! vinesavant.com
