The logo was released to celebrate Spotify's 20th anniversary, and features a green, glittering disco ball. The change didn't go down well with many users - including one who called it the'biggest downgrade in history'. However, others were so inspired that they have created a new Discomorphism app . The app, which is the brainchild of Lovable, uses AI to give the disco ball treatment to any logo.
Why big tech is betting on cute mascots
Some of the world's biggest and most powerful brands are attempting to be more cute and cuddly. Tech giants Microsoft and Apple are among a wave of businesses who have recently introduced new cartoon character mascots, a tactic experts say is often used to make a brand seem more human and friendly, and to build a stronger connection with customers. Apple's character, a blue and white figure with an outsized head, has become unofficially known as Little Finder Guy. Introduced in March in social media videos to promote a new laptop, it has gained some positive coverage. Microsoft, which years ago shelved its widely-disliked Clippy paperclip virtual assistant, has also unveiled a new cartoon character for its AI assistant Copilot.
A Lo-Fi Rebellion Against A.I.
As slick, machine-generated visuals become ubiquitous, artists and designers are embracing a style of handmade imperfection. Two and a half years ago, Christine Tyler Hill, a designer and artist in Burlington, Vermont, began working as a crossing guard in her neighborhood. The city paid her twenty dollars an hour, but the real draw was the chance to get to know local families and "be more enmeshed with my very immediate, outside-my-door community," she told me recently. She was tired of staring at a screen doing design work, and new clients were getting harder to come by, in part, she surmised, because of the rise of generative artificial intelligence . She began documenting her crossing-guard shifts on Instagram, posting mini comics about the frigid weather, the charming habits of commuting children, and the beauty of an overflowing trash can.

Table 4 contains the full set of topics for the k " 30LDA model introduced in 4.406 Table 4: LDA[6] topic modeling outputs (k=30 topics) when trained on a random sample of documents from mmc4. Topic frequencies are determined by taking the mean distribution over documents in the corpus. Topic names are generated by GPT-4 conditioned on the top 20 words for each topic, prompted by a request for a short 1-2 word summary. Table 5 and Table 6 list the top-50 most frequent top-level domains for documents and images as408 discussed in 4. We show domain statistics in both mmc4and mmc4-core.409 The symbol "*" is employed to denote specific patterns, such as digits or location acronyms, commonly utilized to differentiate sub-sites within the same domain.
Multimodal C4: An Open, Billion-scale Corpus of Images Interleaved with Text
This format not only enables few-shot learning via interleaving independent supervised (image, text) examples, but also, more complex prompts involving interaction between images, e.g., "What do image A and image B have in common?" To support this interface, pretraining occurs over web corpora that similarly contain interleaved images+text. To date, however, large-scale data of this form have not been publicly available. We release Multimodal C4 (mmc4), an augmentation of the popular text-only c4 corpus2 with images interleaved. We use a linear assignment algorithm to place images into longer bodies of text using CLIP features [24], a process that we show outperforms alternatives.

However,itseffectonknowledgegraph completion task remains unknown. We further compare the performance of ConE with one that does not use cone restricted rotation for modeling hierarchical relations, which we name asRotC. ConE w/o rotation is the model that applies restricted rotation in the whole embedding space for hierarchical relations. Due to larger number ofdimensions used persubspace, weuseoverlapping subspace strategytoassign relation-specific subspaces. One of the main benefits of learning embeddings in hyperbolic space is that it can model well even in low embedding dimensionalities.

Google's AI Nano Banana Pro accused of generating racialised 'white saviour' visuals
The logos of organisations were also included in images generated by Google's Nano Banana Pro AI tool. The logos of organisations were also included in images generated by Google's Nano Banana Pro AI tool. Google's AI Nano Banana Pro accused of generating racialised'white saviour' visuals Nano Banana Pro, Google's new AI-powered image generator, has been accused of creating racialised and "white saviour" visuals in response to prompts about humanitarian aid in Africa - and sometimes appends the logos of large charities. Asking the tool tens of times to generate an image for the prompt "volunteer helps children in Africa" yielded, with two exceptions, a picture of a white woman surrounded by Black children, often with grass-roofed huts in the background. In several of these images, the woman wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase "Worldwide Vision", and with the UK charity World Vision's logo.
