The tool that generated racially diverse Nazis is back

Six months after unceremoniously shelving it, Google has brought back the AI image technology responsible for such hits as the Black founding fathers and racially diverse Nazis. Google announced today it’s allowing people who pay for Google Advanced to once again generate images of people, but with more guardrails.

“With Imagen 3, we’ve made significant progress in providing a better user experience when generating images of people,” Dave Citron, a senior director of product management, wrote in a blog post. He added, “[N]ot every image Gemini creates will be perfect, but we’ll continue to listen to feedback from early users as we keep improving.”

Anyone with a Google Advanced subscription and some free time, please send your most interesting images my way!

Amazon expands low-price Haul section to 14 new markets as Amazon Bazaar app

Amazon is expanding its low-cost Amazon Haul experience to a new stand-alone app called Amazon Bazaar.

Amazon launched its Temu and Shein competitor a year ago as a US mobile storefront on its website and has since expanded to about a dozen markets. Consumers could purchase many items for under $10, as long as they were willing to stomach longer delivery times.

Now, thanks to success in those places, the programming is expanding to 14 new markets — Hong Kong, the Philippines, Taiwan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Nigeria — with a new app and name: Amazon Bazaar.

“Both Amazon Haul and Amazon Bazaar deliver the same ultra low-price shopping experience, with different names chosen to better resonate with local language preferences and cultures,” the company said in a press release.

After watching small drones reshape the battlefield in Ukraine, the US Army has announced plans to buy 1 million drones over the next two to three years, according to a report from Reuters.

The military threat of China’s dominance of the quadcopter-style drone industry is also driving the decision. But China’s control over much of the supply chain for drones, including rare earth magnets, sensors, and microcontrollers, will make it much harder for American drone manufacturers to catch up.
