    The irritating but amusing irony of Google’s Gemini interface – Computerworld

    Let me be as blunt as I can be about this: Mushy-brained of a mammal as I may be, I’m someone who closely follows Google and studies its services as part of my job.

    Pixar Animation Studios has an unusual logo. The basic logo is the word “Pixar.” But sometimes, an animated lamp named Luxo Jr. hops into the frame and jumps on the letter “i.” The lap exudes personality and represents Pixar’s ability to turn any object into a compelling character.  Inspired by Luxo Jr., Apple’s Machine Learning Research division decided to create…

    These “corner cases” typically have unique privacy or regulatory requirements — or it might simply come down to company culture. “That points to something bigger: You’re hosting your own email and managing it a certain way because you’ve always done it that way,” said Kimball.
