☆ Google to relaunch tool for creating AI-generated images of people after pulling service due to inaccuracies
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-28 | by ( Todd Haselton | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Google said it will soon allow users to create images of people using its Gemini artificial intelligence tool, after pulling the AI image generation option in February. "We've worked to make technical improvements to the product, as well as improved evaluation sets, red-teaming exercises and clear product principles," Citron wrote. Google paused its image generation feature earlier this year after saying it was offering "inaccuracies" in historical pictures. "Of course, as with any generative AI tool, not every image Gemini creates will be perfect, but we'll continue to listen to feedback from early users as we keep improving," Citron wrote. "We'll gradually roll this out, aiming to bring it to more users and languages soon."

Back in 2008, the Obama campaign made an unprecedented effort to target young voters. In critical swing states like Pennsylvania and Nevada, young voters were more likely to report being contacted by the Obama campaign than older voters were. The issues that fire up young voters are increasingly out of step with the interests of an older, more moderate electorate. Young women have grown more liberal, and young men have become noticeably more sympathetic to the GOP. Related storiesSo to court America's young voters, Harris needs to appeal to their desire for something new.

For DirecTV, it's skinny bundles or bustDirecTV believes these strict bundling requirements are to blame for putting pay TV on life support. Disney is "completely responsible" for the fall of pay TV, Pachter said, "because they think the only direction that retransmission fees should go is up."

Read previewNot all hours of the day are created equal, according to Google's executive productivity advisor, Laura Mae Martin. Her job is narrowing down the most productive times for some of Google's top leaders, and her method is surprisingly pretty simple. But everyone has their "power hours," which Martin describes as "the two to three hours a day that you feel your most productive." Ideally, Martin said these power hours would be spent on tasks related to your top three priorities. If they partially overlap with other fixed commitments like mandatory meetings, Martin recommends blocking your power hours to whatever degree possible.

Last week, the Democratic presidential nominee unveiled early details of her economic platform, which included a pledge to ban grocery price gouging. In a study from May, price gouging was the second leading perceived cause of inflation among surveyed consumers. AdvertisementWhether gouging deserves the blame for inflation, some have also criticized Harris' plan as an ineffective government overreach.

More than halfway through the third quarter, many of the biggest commodity ETFs in the United States are in sizable holes. Kathy Kriskey, senior commodities ETF strategist at Invesco, said that oil supply is actually tight at the moment. The commodities slump could be partially due to mechanical factors in the market, such as low trading volumes combined with large commodity trading advisors betting against the sector, Kriskey said.
