The AI-powered Pixel 9 hits store shelves

Pixel 9 is hitting the shelves this week, offering a glimpse into the future of AI-powered smartphones. While experts are split on whether the new features warrant an upgrade, nearly all agree: It provides a tantalizing preview of AI's expanding role in our daily lives.

Here are some of the biggest features that users can experiment with:

• Call Notes records your phone conversations, then generates summaries with key details, like addresses and dates; but be warned: It’ll announce each time a call is being recorded, potentially spooking the person on the other line

• Pixel Screenshots lets you take screenshots of important documents or images so you can easily find them later; it’ll organize them into different categories and recognize details, like the ID number on your passport

• Pixel Studio lets you turn your friends’ faces into digital stickers and use them to quickly create party invitations or other visuals

• Gemini Advanced users can access Gemini Live, which lets you interact with a voice bot in real-time — although you won’t hear the breathing, laughing, and hesitations that can make OpenAI’s Voice Mode feel so eerie and realistic

But the biggest game-changer might be Reimagine: It lets users insert AI-generated objects into their photos in a matter of seconds. You can pose in the street, then superimpose a sports car in the background — or add a full moon to a nighttime scene. Sure, we’ve been able to Photoshop images for years, but that often requires technical expertise and hours of tweaking. Reimagine is arguably a much more potent tool that could further blur the lines between fact and fiction online.

FROM THE FRONTIER

A new AI startup wants to turn anyone into a game designer

Imagine generating an image on Midjourney, then stepping through the frame to explore an entire world based on your prompt. That’s the premise behind Exists — one of the first AI platforms that can transform your text into 3D, interactive playgrounds. 

Users will be able to switch between a variety settings, weather conditions, characters, time periods, and artistic styles. Prompt-to-game generators like Exists hint at a future where AI offers deeper levels of interactivity and customization: Instead of waiting around for a developer to build your dream game, you’ll be able to imagine and create one yourself in a matter of minutes.

PROMPT OF THE DAY

Friday Funday - Twin Peaks Interactive Game

Prompt: I want you to simulate an "interactive fiction" type of computer game. Once the game starts, I will type in commands, and you will respond as if i am playing such a computer game. You will simulate the game, create its contents and possibilities as the game goes on.

It should be "Twin Peaks" themed and take place in the world of David Lynch's TV series "Twin Peaks".
Please do not enter any instructions yourself. When I need to do an action or decision, do not continue the game or narrative on your own. Wait for my instructions.

Before you start the simulation, please suggest some scenarios / starting points such a game could have, then let me choose one.

Enjoy.
