GOOGLE ACCIDENTALLY REVEALS ANDROID'S MATERIAL 3 EXPRESSIVE INTERFACE AHEAD OF I/O

Google's next version of Android might look quite different. The company recently published and quickly removed a blog post that detailed 'Material 3 Expressive', a redesign expected to be revealed at I/O later this month. While the original Material Design did a good job of leveraging colors and consistent theming, it made apps look too similar. The new interface appears much more varied. Screenshots from the deleted blog post are available in the article.

AN INTERVIEW WITH META CEO MARK ZUCKERBERG ABOUT AI AND THE EVOLUTION OF SOCIAL MEDIA

This is a transcript of an interview with Mark Zuckerberg where he discusses the broader themes that place Llama in Meta's historical context. The interview covers Meta's platform ambitions over the last two decades, the evolution of social networking, and how Zuckerberg has changed his thinking about both. Zuckerberg talks about the Llama API and the tension between GPU opportunity cost and leveraging training costs, and why he thinks that the latter is worth paying for. He also discusses why Meta AI may actually bring many of his oldest ideas full circle, how that ties into Reality Labs, and why Meta ended up being the perfect name for the company.

Language models are great for making nonsense and not so great for anything else - it's probably better to just read the prompt.

LLMS AS UNBIASED ORACLES
