Feels a bit like an April Fools announcement to me, to be honest.

Why no adblocker?

Yea, but you can't make it a home screen like when you swipe right.

What a world you live in if that's the worst.

Well, you should check again, because it hasn't been text to text for a while. There are multimodal models now.

If we want to get pedantic, in context of practical transformer models it has never been text to text. It has always been tokens to tokens. The tokens can represent anything. "multimodal" is a marketing term.

There's a train between the UK and France. It carries cars.

That I use regularly to actually drive from no-too-far from LHR to Paris and back. It's a thing I actually do.

And I can tell you, it might be theoretically in Google Maps land to do the journey in 6 hours, but IRL in this scenario it won't happen. Actual empirical evidence.

Thanks for admitting he's right.

Well given what they (you know it's a he?) actually wrote...

That's insane. Edge is one big ad. Have you even ever opened it? Their home page is a tabloid.

It is configurable, my Edge home page is just a search bar + the weather.

Fair enough, but only ~5% of Microsoft revenue comes from ad dollars. It's not clear to me why I should switch to a browser which is funded primarily with ad money vs. just turning off the Edge features I don't like. (FWIW, I used Firefox for many years, and my daily driver is currently Chrome.)

Don't insult tabloids like that. The information content of your average tabloid is much higher.

But probably not for a LLM. Yet.

I always connect to multiple external screens. I cannot imagine having only my laptop screen/keyboard.
