Personally, I've mislabeled the one with the animal in the restaurant as AI generated. I might have clicked too quickly because it was looking like the animals trampolines video's. I've not really looked at the timestamps.

I'm generally good at detecting AI generated content but I might have a few false positives. :)

This vibed coded implementation is buggy.

I believe that's happening more often than before but it's probably not always documented.

Last summer, a 25 year old crypto influencer got kidnapped and his body was found in my neighborhood a few months ago. [1]

Unrelated but I didn't knew Google AppSheet[1] existed before seeing it on that pricing page. Interesting.

I used to have a google account with my personal domain then I registered to Google Workspace 4-5 years ago. Since then, I have this message when I log in :

> Your account has been modified. > The address user@domain.com is no longer available because an organization has reserved rickynotaro.com. Why is this important now? > > Don't worry. Your data is safe. To use them, you must create an account with a different email address. Your password and security settings will remain unchanged.

> Account details > > What type of account do you want to use? > > An account with Gmail and a new Gmail address > Select this option to add Gmail to this account. Unfortunately, we cannot move your data into an account with an existing Gmail address. > > Account using an email address belonging to you, not linked to Google. Ex.: myname@yahoo.com > Choose this option if you want Google products except Gmail. > Btn_Continue Btn_Do_it_later Not sure what to do?

I've been pressing "Do it later" for years. I'm still using this account for youtube, maps and other services.

I should probably use a secondary domain and use this address.

Some service prevents me from changing my email address when signing with google and weird behavious happens when it tries to use my user%domain.com@gtempaccount.com

Google documents it here: https://support.google.com/accounts/troubleshooter/1699308?h...

If I remember properly, voice2voice is only available natively on the mobile application.

I remember seeing here that his default system prompt is also optimized for oral conversations.

I actually do and it works pretty well. My Yubikeys are NFC compatible. I have my OTP generated on it and also use it for U2F / Webauth. I only need to tap my key to my phone for 2FAuthentification.
