Travel planning with Google Gemini. It's astonishingly good at this. I give it an itinerary and it gives me detailed and personalized suggestions like "You have this reserved, but note it's 1.5km of walking over steep, uneven surfaces. As an alternative it's easy just to go into town and look around."
I love being able to throw an enormous amount of data at the LLM and have it make sense of it. In this case it doesn't matter if the answers are not 100% correct as long as they are close and the suggestions are verifiable.

I remember asking, not so long ago, if Chara and Yuki were still making music together.
I got my answer as they just released a single

Waymo says it "designed its driving software to be able to automatically navigate intersections when traffic lights are out, but sometimes [it] will ask for a confirmation from remote human monitors that they are proceeding safely[...] The numerous lights that were out resulted in a surge in such confirmation requests and delayed its vehicles clearing intersections, it said."
These vehicles aren't autonomous. This is a performance they're putting on.

Kristi Noem repeatedly declined to deny her widely-reported sexual relationship with her shadow chief of staff Corey Lewandowski,
twisting into all sorts of remarkable rhetorical shapes to avoid uttering the word “no” while under oath.
“I am shocked that we’re going down and peddling tabloid garbage in this committee today,”
Noem told Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.),
who pushed back: “You should be able to answer if someone asks if you or any federal official is …
