Analyst coder by trade. Pop culture nerd by nature.
I’ve been tinkering with Gemini to do shopping searches. Where something is readily available in my local area, it’s very good.
The problem comes when something is very new. It ignores the local area criteria.
Side note. It doesn’t account for foreign currencies in price comparisons.

@kantrowitz.bsky.social Hey Alex. It would be great if we can get a breakdown from the Klarna folks about how their AI efforts went.
Beyond just the current headlines. It would be good to hear what worked and what didn’t for them.

Looks like the US release of the Nintendo Switch 2 might take a little longer. The price for sure is going to go up.

So with all the recent US travel warnings. What does that mean for the ticket sales of the US World Cup 2026 games?

This is a great evaluation of generative AI and where it sits against other types of AI. Its refreshing to see a clear understanding of how they work. youtu.be/B2zCWJBnfuE?...

Business as usual. Australian media companies have a huge hand in promoting the under 16 social media ban.

Twenty four hours public consultation. Laughable.

Thanks ABC media watch.

The powerful media voices behind the campaign to ban social media platforms for teenagers under 16 has produced a one-sided media debate.
