Analysts at investment bank Morgan Stanley say that Apple was too far behind in the car market and cancelling the Apple Car means it can put its resources to better use in AI Siri AI should benefit from the cancellation of Apple CarWhile the apparent cancellation of the Apple Car project has surprised many analysts at Morgan Stanley say it has never factored in their analysis of the company Specifically Morgan Stanley is retaining its price target for Apple of because it had put no value on Apple Car That s because it now argues Apple was still only at a testing stage where firms are already selling electric vehicles EVs and over are working on EV technology Continue Reading on AppleInsider Discuss on our Forums |

If you work over public Wi Fi need to access geo restricted content or just want to add an extra layer of privacy to your internet connection you may want to use a VPN service NordVPN is one of the most popular providers out there and right now a digital code giving you a year of access to NordVPN Plus is going for at Amazon The plan also throws in one of our top password managers NordPass For comparison right now a year of the Plus service is directly from Nord Of course the best deals the company offers is on its two year plans Right now two years of the Plus service is from Nord ーso you re still saving with Amazon s deal plus you re not locked into a full two year commitment nbsp If you just want the VPN coverage without the password manager you can get the standard service It s for a year of access a savings of over buying from Nord directly And if you re just interested in the password manager two years of NordPass is down to which is less than going through Nord s site nbsp We named Nord s password manager one of the best for cross platform use in our guide to those services The service keeps your credentials safe while making it easy to access your vault from whichever device or operating system you happen to be on It also allows for biometric sign ins making it even easier to get at your saved passwords nbsp As for Nord s VPN like all such services it masks your IP address and encrypts your data to and from its destination It also blocks your ISP from seeing data about your browsing Just keep in mind that VPNs can t protect against other security risks like phishing and identity theft Nord s VPN service didn t make the cut in our testing of such services partly because we thought the price was a bit too high for the features provided This deal removes some of the hesitation and we did find the service to be speedy and like that it s based on WireGuard one of the more secure protocols But the lack of open source software for most of its products and a less than stellar record of customer data privacy prevents it from being the best we can recommend The service that did top our list was ProtonVPN It s currently for one year of the service alone A bundle that includes a password manager email and other services is currently for the year nbsp Follow EngadgetDeals on Twitter and subscribe to the Engadget Deals newsletter for the latest tech deals and buying advice This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Google CEO says Gemini image generation failures were 'unacceptable' |
https://www.engadget.com/google-ceo-says-gemini-image-generation-failures-were-unacceptable-163748934.html?src=rss

Google CEO Sundar Pichai addressed the company s recent issues with its AI powered Gemini image generation tool after it started overcorrecting for diversity in historical images He called the turn of events unacceptable and said that the company s working around the clock on a fix according to an internal employee memo published by Semafor No AI is perfect especially at this emerging stage of the industry s development but we know the bar is high for us and we will keep at it for however long it takes Pichai wrote to staffers And we ll review what happened and make sure we fix it at scale Pichai remains optimistic regarding the future of the Gemini chatbot formerly called Bard noting that the team has already seen substantial improvement on a wide range of prompts The image generation aspect of Gemini will remain paused until a fix is fully worked out This started when Gemini users began noticing that the generator began cranking out historically inaccurate images like pictures of Nazis and America s Founding Fathers as people of color This quickly became a big thing on social media with the word woke being thrown around a whole lot I ve never been so embarrassed to work for a company pic twitter com eDQPzGPxUーSt Ratej stratejake February Prabhakar Raghavan Google s senior vice president for knowledge and information did not lay the blame on wokeness but rather a series of tuning errors Basically the model was fine tuned to allow for diverse groups of people in pictures but failed to account for cases that should clearly not show a range This led to controversial images like people of color showing up as Vikings and Native American Catholic Popes Raghavan also said that the model became more cautious over time occasionally refusing to answer certain prompts after wrongly interpreting them as sensitive This accounts for reports that the model refused to generate images of white people It sounds like the company was trying to both please a global audience and ensure the model didn t fall into some of the traps of rival products like creating sexually explicit images or depictions of real people Tuning these AI models is extremely delicate work and the software can easily be led to make ridiculous errors It s what they do In any event I d prefer a historically inaccurate Catholic Pope over unexpected violent imagery any day of the week Chalk this up as yet another reminder that AI still has a long way to go nbsp As for Gemini the company promises the image generator will return in the near future but it still requires a suite of fixes and tests to make sure this never happens again including structural changes updated product guidelines improved launch processes robust evals and red teaming and technical recommendations This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

The Apple Car never felt real |
https://www.engadget.com/the-apple-car-never-felt-real-163058168.html?src=rss

Apple has reportedly pulled down the shutters on Project Titan its initiative to build the future of transportation If the reports are accurate the project chewed through billions of dollars and several high profile leaders as its mission shifted and shifted again What may have started as a control free autonomous vehicle was eventually scaled down to a generic EV but ya know made by Apple But I ll be honest I never believed we d see an Apple Car in the real world because it seemed so impossibly far fetched as to be fictional I m not saying Titan itself didn t exist because every company has speculative projects and I m sure the reporting around what it achieved is accurate ーTim Cook definitely wrote quot Car quot on a whiteboard at some point If any company could walk in learn the skills needed to build and launch a car and do it well and profitably it would be Apple Other tech companies like Sony are making a real noise about entering the field albeit in partnership with Honda But from a lot of logical angles the idea that Apple would start making cars was impossible to fathom There s a line in The Unbearable Lightness of Being where kitsch a German word for bad or tacky art is defined as a denial of the realities of life Apple fits that description because while it s wildly successful it s often despite decisions made that fly in the face of common sense A watch that lasts for less than a day on a charge A slippery easily dropped phone with a glass front and back that s nightmarishly difficult to repair A mouse that is still being sold with the charging port on its underside so you can only charge it when it s not in use Even the most environmentally friendly car still needs oil and grease to lubricate its workings wheels that leave rubber on the road brake pads that wear down Seats that have to deal with spilled coffee and toddler vomit when you re on a long road trip the grime you only seem to find when you re loading IKEA boxes into your trunk Can you imagine Apple s design team who were behind the FineWoven case who had to be dragged kicking and screaming toward bigger batteries USB C and waterproofing thinking about such considerations Not to mention that while Apple can exert a lot of control over its devices now cars aren t so neatly closed off Imagine how hard it would be for a company obsessed with control to cede so much to the auto shops of the world Yes you need to take your Tesla back for major repairs but can you imagine not being able to replace your tires when you get a flat Unless of course Apple is planning to build garages in every major population center to overcharge you when it comes time to get an oil change And that s before you get to the idea that Apple who is quite obsessive about its brand would have its logo plastered on the internet every time one of its cars so much as kissed a lamppost Car accidents are currently an unfortunate fact of life that we as a society are not prepared to tackle the way we should But all it would take is one fatality in an Apple car and the company would be demonized ーand opened up to a raft of lawsuits all looking to get a piece of Apple s cash pile A car also would muddy the company s stance on environmental matters and I can already picture the internal contortions The executives driving their convertible Mercedes into Apple Park s rarified subterranean parking garage would I m sure quite like an Apple car But I imagine the company s teams who have to look at figures around energy consumption emissions and climate change don t If Apple s fine words about looking after the environment mean anything it would throw its weight and expertise behind something better like scooters or e bikes I ve also struggled to fathom out how Apple would justify charging for a limited run EV when its real wins have come in the mass market EVs take enormous amounts of capital and labor to assemble and it s nowhere near as profitable as what Apple does today In Q of WV ーthe world s biggest car maker ーmade a net profit of about billion or about a quarter of what Apple made in the same period How many luxury EVs would Apple be able to get out of the door and how many would it need to sell in order to justify that initial investment In fact I suspect a lot of people piled a lot of unreasonable hopes on Project Titan s shoulders despite Apple s repeated scaling back We ll make a car without a wheel it ll be great you can imagine them saying okay maybe it ll have a wheel they added years later oh okay so how about it s just a car that s not as autonomous as a Mercedes It hardly screams the sort of class leading ambitions you normally see with an Apple product does it And yes there may have been lots of pretty renders of what an Apple car would look like made by talented graphic designers looking to bulk out their portfolio And lots of wishful chat on social media about Apple buying another EV maker like Tesla or Rivian to slap its brand on top of ーdespite the fact that Apple buying a name brand company outright has only happened once or twice in a decade But until the NDAs lapse and we get a tell all book with internal imagery I m going to say that despite the reported billions of dollars poured into it the Apple Car never got close to being a real thing This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

At the upcoming SXSW Conference in Texas Honda will give attendees a chance to try out a new mobility device called UNI ONE that was specifically designed for mixed reality entertainment experiences Users can steer the UNI ONE without the use of their hands ーthey simply have to lean into one direction to move forwards backwards sideways or diagonally The idea is to pair it with a mixed reality device so that passengers can enjoy a truly immersive game or activity nbsp While that sounds pretty wild Honda has been testing the UNI ONE in for multiple use cases in Japan since last year At the Suzuka Circuit Park in the Japanese prefecture of Mie for instance Honda created an activity wherein users have to control the mobility device and navigate it according to the scenes displayed on a tablet At SXSW people will be able to ride the UNI ONE while wearing a virtual reality headset and play a choose your own VR adventure nbsp HondaThe vehicle features a seat that can be raised or lowered so users can adjust it to be able to communicate better with other people around them It runs untethered since it s battery operated has a maximum speed of mph and can support passengers up to pounds Honda believes that the device has several potential applications in entertainment and believes it could be used to create indoor and outdoor experiences such as racing games in theme parks and comparable facilities This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
