From stories catering to kids to those aimed at adults‚ from heartwarming romance to side-splitting comedy‚ and from thrilling action to spine-chilling horror‚ anime covers it all. Not everyone finds themselves drawn to the latest trends like Jujutsu Kaisen or Attack on Titan. Some folks crave the nostalgia of classics like Doraemon‚ where the daily adventures of Nobita and friends reign supreme.

We all knew we'd get here at some point. Between AI being used to pull John Lennon's vocals out of old recordings for The Beatles' first single in decades to that incredibly viral Drake song that turned out to be AI-generated‚ AI is slowly but surely making headway into the creative space. But‚ while using the technology to grab real vocals that John Lennon actually recorded seems like a worthwhile use of AI since it is using something that Lennon himself actually created‚ I would never want AI to write lyrics or to sing a song that it THOUGHT John Lennon would have written or sung. That's exactly‚ however‚ what someone did with the late comedian Goerge Carlin. Continue reading...

If you've ever heard the phrase "addition by subtraction‚" you'll understand Google's latest move. This week‚ Google announced that it plans to eliminate more than a dozen features from Google Assistant in the coming weeks. Google Assistant VP Duke Dukellis explained in a blog post that the team is "prioritizing the experiences you love and investing in the underlying technology to make them even better" while axing support for "underutilized features." Google explains that starting on January 26‚ if you attempt to use any of these features‚ you will receive a notification letting you know that it won't be available after a certain date. 9to5Google reports that most of the features will no longer be available as of February 26‚ but there are a few exceptions. For instance‚ Nest Hub Commute Tiles and the App Launcher are being deprecated on February 7. In addition to removing 17 features from Google Assistant‚ Google is also changing how the microphone icon works in the Google app. From now on‚ that icon will only trigger Search results in response to your queries. You can no longer use it to complete actions. Here's the complete list of Google Assistant features that will soon be deprecated: Playing and controlling audiobooks on Google Play Books with your voice. You can still cast audiobooks from your mobile device. Setting or using media alarms‚ music alarms‚ or radio alarms on Google Assistant enabled devices. You can create a custom Routine that has similar behavior or use a standard alarm. Accessing or managing your cookbook‚ transferring recipes from device to device‚ playing an instructional recipe video‚ or showing step-by-step recipes. You can use Google Assistant to search for recipes across the web and YouTube. Managing a stopwatch on Smart Displays and Speakers. You can still set timers and alarms. Using your voice to call a device or broadcast a message to your Google Family Group. You can still broadcast to devices in your home. Using your voice to send an email‚ video or audio message. You can still make calls and send text messages. Rescheduling an event in Google Calendar with your voice. You can still schedule a new event. Using App Launcher in Google Assistant driving mode on Google Maps to read and send messages‚ make calls‚ and control media. You can still use voice control on Google Maps the same way. Asking to schedule or hear previously scheduled Family Bell announcements. You can create a custom Routine that has similar behavior. Asking to meditate with Calm. You can still ask for meditation options with media providers such as YouTube. Voice control for activities will no longer be available on Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 devices. You'll need to use the buttons on your device to start‚ stop‚ pause‚ and resume activities. You can still voice control activities on Pixel Watches. Viewing your sleep summaries will only be available on Google Smart Displays. You can still ask for sleep details by voice on third-party smart clocks. Calls made from speakers and Smart Displays will not show up with a caller ID unless you’re using Duo. Viewing the ambient “Commute to Work” time estimates on Smart Displays. You can still ask for commute times and get directions by voice. Checking personal travel itineraries by voice. You can still ask for flight status. Asking for information about your contacts.

There's one thing you can say about little kids that's pretty consistent no matter who the kid is‚ and it's that they're brutally honest. Whether you have something stuck in your teeth or you've gained weight‚ a small child will inform you - loudly‚ and usually in front of others. But one preschooler's moment of honesty is going viral for how relatable it is.An exhausted and cranky 4-year-old named Jude has had enough. The little boy had just gotten home from school when he must've been asked something before the camera started rolling because his response was a #same moment."Listen. No‚ do you hear me? I'm cranky‚ I'm tired‚ I worked hard at school‚" Jude says to his dad.Jude's mom‚ Amber Tinker uploaded the video to TikTok where it went viral with over 14 million views and over 1.5 million likes. The tiny grumpy human was clearly not interested in whatever shenanigans his dad was up to and he let him know it.Jude's dad‚ Justin Tinker was attempting to tease the boy about messing with him later but Jude was having none of it. The preschooler quickly repeated that he was cranky and tired after working hard at school. He mumbles something as he walks towards a barn when his dad stops him. "I've already got everything fed and watered. I already got the eggs‚ I did your job cause I knew you was tired‚" Justin calls out.Though his dad did his chores for him‚ Jude still didn't feel like he got his point across because later in the video he repeats how cranky and tired he is. Both of his parents explained they also worked hard today and were tired but it was obvious that Jude out tired them all. In the end he declared he was getting a bath tonight. Maybe his mom will bring him a cold Capri Sun and light some candles while he soaks in a bubble bath. Preschool must be rough these days.Watch the whole video below: @judemywildchild This boy has had enough! #HeyJude #Cranky #Tired #kidsoftiktok #Funny #Viral This article originally appeared on 10.18.23

When we think about gifted conversationalists‚ we’re more likely to think of great talkers—those who wow us with their insights‚ wit‚ and charm. However‚ communication experts believe that if you want to make a great impression on someone‚ knowing how to listen goes a long way.Those of us who love being verbose may think the world loves us because of how well we can talk. But the person sitting in front of you has a lot to say‚ and nothing makes them feel better during a conversation than your undivided attention.As the old saying goes‚ we never quite remember everything someone has said to us‚ but we’ll never forget how they made us feel. When you actively listen to your conversation partner‚ they feel that you value them and are receptive to their needs. It also eases any feelings of conflict or resentment.After a good conversation‚ the person you spoke with should think‚ “Wow‚ that person really gets me‚” instead of‚ “It was like I didn’t even exist.”A study from 2016 on sales calls did an excellent job of quantifying the amount we should speak versus listen during a conversation. A marketing director at Gong.io analyzed 25‚537 sales calls using artificial intelligence and found that the interactions where the salesperson talked 43% of the time and listened 57% of the time had the highest sales yield.This finding has come to be known as the 43:57 rule.Even though the study was conducted on business calls‚ the reason that it works should apply to social conversations as well. Paying more attention helps a salesperson identify the client's needs and makes them feel comfortable spending money because they know it's with someone who understands their interests.It’s the same as a social situation where the person you speak to wants to know they are valued and you respect what they say.This is excellent advice‚ but sometimes it’s hard to listen when you’re in a fun conversation and have a lot to say. Kate Murphy‚ author of "You’re Not Listening‚" says it’s all about staying calm."Deep breaths are always good. They're always good. Because it...calms down that fear response. It helps you get more centered‚” Murphy told WBUR. “But also to develop your curiosity. Like I said‚ make it more important to be curious than to be right. And to go into every conversation with that mindset of how could I be wrong? Instead of‚ let me prove how I'm right.”“That's how you develop creative ideas. It's how you cooperate. It's how you find middle ground‚ or at least a peaceable existence‚” Murphy added.The idea that to be a great conversationalist one should master the art of listening is a bit counterintuitive. But‚ if you feel that you have a lot to say in conversations and can be interesting to listen to‚ imagine how great that’ll make others feel when you show that you enjoy listening to them as well. It’s a virtuous cycle where everyone wins.This article originally appeared on 3.7.23
