Liz Reid, head of Google Search, has admitted the company\u2019s search engine has returned some \u201codd, inaccurate or unhelpful AI Overviews<\/a>\u201d after the feature rolled out to everyone in the US.<\/p>\n The executive\u2019s explanation<\/a> outlined some new safeguards to help the new feature return more accurate (and less funny) results. Some of the worst AI Overview results doing the rounds were apparently faked, but the glue-on-pizza example was real, as was the viral answer to how many rocks you should be eating. Also real. Reid said Google came up with an answer because it had tapped into a comedy satire site.<\/p>\n The issue for Google is this could erode trust in the search engine\u2019s results and accuracy. Reid said the company tested the feature extensively before launch, but \u201cthere\u2019s nothing quite like having millions of people using the feature with many novel searches.\u201d Maybe it needed a little more testing first.<\/p>\n \u2014 Mat Smith<\/p>\n Silent Hill 2 remake hits PS5 and PC on October 8<\/a><\/p>\n OpenAI says it stopped multiple covert influence operations that abused its AI models<\/a><\/p>\n Until Dawn remaster is coming to PS5 and PC this fall<\/a><\/p>\n \u200b\u200bYou can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox. <\/em>Subscribe right here!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s been a long time since we had a first-person shooter from a PlayStation studio. Finally, Firewalk Studios\u2019 Concord<\/em> has broken cover. Firewalk says it focused on tight movement, precise gunplay and a range of abilities \u2014 just as you might expect from a studio led by former Destiny developers. It\u2019s a five vs. five hero shooter, suggesting comparisons to Overwatch 2<\/em> \u2014 now a Microsoft-owned title. Expect 16 heroes, six game modes and some cinematic scenes between all the fighting. It\u2019s coming to PS5 and PC on August 23, with a beta in July.<\/p>\n Continue reading.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Apple\u2019s Worldwide Developers Conference is right around the corner. Expect the company to reveal some of the main features of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, as well as what\u2019s ahead for the likes of watchOS, macOS and visionOS at WWDC 2024. Expect all kinds of generative AI tricks \u2014 hopefully even some compelling ones. I\u2019d appreciate more photo-fill features to match Google\u2019s efforts on Android. It seems unlikely we\u2019ll get any major hardware announcements at the event, but you never truly know until Tim Cook wraps things up \u2014 maybe we\u2019ll get a next-gen Vision Pro VR headset.<\/p>\n Continue reading.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Meta is rolling out a new TweetDeck-like column view to all Threads users after it started testing the feature earlier this month. The new look, which some Threads users have nicknamed ThreadsDeck, allows you to pin up to 100 feeds to the Threads home page. Each column can also be set to auto-update. Yeah, it\u2019s TweetDeck but Threads. And you can more easily hide Threads\u2019 trashy for-you feed. At least, mine is particularly trashy.
