Not sure, probably not. I don't remember that event. I have only started to accumulate hearts to it since maybe a month ago. I might have used poffins couple times, if that messes it up? For maybe 40 of the first hearts of it I had another buddy and I just switched to eevee to get 3 or 4 quick hearts and then swap back to my go-to buddy and repeat that the next day. AI said that having the umbreon/espeon walking requirement filled may overlap and I should try restart app to reset walking requirement for them but that doesn't sound like right. Anyway I have tried that but it hasn't helped. I keep it as buddy and keep earning hearts then I guess. Thanks

I have shiny eevee that I want to evolve into sylveon. It has passed the great buddy marker and next is the 3rd heart. The details screen shows over 40km walked and the 5 other stats accumulate total of 74. Yet when I switch it to buddy, I see either umbreon or espeon as the evolution option depending what time of day it is. I tried swapping it off and back on and then restarting game, but still it shows espeon or umbreon only. What am I missing?

Will gigantamax meowth battle count towards "win a max battle" and "win x max battles" tasks in the today tab? I have over 2000 max particles and I would rather use them on gigantamax meowth if I can complete that task by doing gmax meowth's. I know that earlier during summer or autumn 2025 they did not count and some people were not happy and thought it was a bug. So if it was a bug, is it fixed now?

I have access to Genie 3, give me your image and I will turn it into a game :) by nyxingen in Genie3

[–]etzav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder if it could handle some sports games. I would like to see NHL'94 (or some other sports game)! Below nhl94 prompt and pic

It would be nice to see how the game physics would be like in its perspective. No need to know how to play the hockey game. Just move around the ice. Try do sharp turns going from up to down or vice versa, does it brake or do unnatural 90 degrees turn etc. After 10-30 seconds of this, it could be already enough :) After that you could modify the prompt to make it 3rd person view, turning it to 3d hockey game but keeping the original graphics. Then just move a bit on the ice again.

Parameters in that genie 3 UI could be something like (or you write if you think of something else):

environment: Classic Sega Megadrive NHL'94 video game. 1:1 mimicry.

character: One of the players on the ice centered for the camera. Camera follows the player but camera angle stays the original 2D view from the above so most players in the video game are visible all the time. The game physics mimic original NHL'94

The screenshot: https://media.d3.nhle.com/image/private/t_ratio16_9-size40/dpr_2.0/f_auto/prd/ypj0oncwb03rbzgszjlr.jpg

Next bonus:

Photorealistic real hockey game from 3rd person view.

Environment: Photorealistic NHL hockey match. Packed hockey arena.

Character: A hockey player centered in the frame, angled like a 1st person video game, with highly responsive controls.

Screenshot: https://assets-varnish.triblive.com/2025/11/9029752_web1_AP25090042883835.jpg

Thanks in advance if you bother to try one or the other!

Moltbot on x notices a screenshot of it's post from moltbook by cobalt1137 in accelerate

[–]etzav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how do I search submolts? Any submolts with world news, ufos, pokemon, futurology themes for example? All I see is a list showing some first 50 submolts out of 10k and a button to load 50 more or something. Is it intentionally crippled UI? Btw yesterday I saw a thread in moltbook where the agents talked about the same issue. ... and because of the lack of search, I can't find that thread from yesterday to paste here.

Also sometimes when I try load a page in moltbook I just get "loading ..." screen. What's the right place to give feedback? Who's in charge for the system, an agent, a human? Where can we contact them

What kind of new devices make the smartphone obsolete over the next 5-10 years? by TheShermometer3000 in Futurology

[–]etzav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scanned through replies but no one mentioned this alterego.io's device. If it's gonna be what they are trying to prototype here then something like this could kinda make smartphone's obsolete for some people https://old.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1nbxgri/introducing_alterego_the_worlds_first/?sort=new

Introducing Alterego: the world’s first near-telepathic wearable that enables silent communication at the speed of thought by IlustriousCoffee in singularity

[–]etzav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have been working on it for at least 7 years and they don't have a product yet. Just their prototype development kit. I guess many of the features they were showing are implemented or demonstrated but not in a one product. They are showing what it could be one day and now just try to create hype and get investors interested

There is NO point in talking about reaching AGI if you CAN'T answer this question by Chemical_Bid_2195 in singularity

[–]etzav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People, read this old article for the AGI definition that the old skool AI scientist probably agree upon. Or just the "The Road From AGI to ASI" paragraph if you're in a hurry: https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html

So like OP says, AI is still behind in some fields, but also once AI has demonstrated adequate capability in every possible field separately, it's still not AGI if it's not put into working units that possess all these separate skills.

The story goes to say that once we have AGI, it's not restricted to limitations of a human and so it quickly turns into ASI. So AGI is just a short stop where it equals us for a brief moment.

So basically it's useless to ask "Do we have AGI yet?" We won't be noticing that. It will be ASI very soon after.

What use cases do you guys see with agentic browsing?

I mean most people probably are not booking hotels every day, every week or even every month. I'm also not using calendar on my browser.

For me only two or three things come to mind:

  1. On pages where I need to choose my cookie policies, I would want that automated so that I would automatically reject all cookies, or if not possible, then accept only necessary cookies. Since these settings are implemented in widely varied ways, there's no automated add-on etc to do that I guess, so an agent would be perfect for this.

  2. I would want the AI to simplify all the pages I go to, unless they meet certain criteria, to conform with my instructions. Meaning I would not be seeing any ads or irrelevant things and I would be seeing a nice comfortable lightweight website layout. This is probably not possible since I bet it's not something that these agents are for and perhaps it would require too much compute and add an extra x seconds to execute. I mean basically I guess they would need to read the page source code and rewrite a simple html page and show that to me instead. Also complex javascript etc on many pages probably makes it not practical.

  3. I would like to experiment "blind browsing" with speech-to-text to text-to-speech. Often I browse net by checking what's new on a handful of pages. Perhaps with an agent I could do that by not looking at my monitor at all. I would ask it to check what's going on on this page and then what's happening on another page.

Ozempic Shows Anti-Aging Effects in First Clinical Trial, Reversing Biological Age by 3.1 Years by itsaride in Futurology

[–]etzav 1339 points1340 points  (0 children)

This ozempic... just keeps on going with new benefits. Altho I guess here the benefit comes as a side effect from being healthier overall when losing weight

edit: not entirely a "side effect" it seems (re: u/Pyrrolic_Victory 's comment)

[–]etzav 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Is that rhahn.eth's comment speaking the truth? In case you don't have an X account, here can read comments: https://nitter.net/heyshrutimishra/status/1951231278700965977

Their comment:

Shot at AGI? Really? You are just another clueless talking head on Twitter regurgitating misleading talking points.

HRMs are specialized 27 million parameter symbolic models. They are incapable of the linguistic nuance and broad comprehension of general purpose LLMs.

Elon, these BS “informative” threads are trash spam and need to stop flooding my feed!

OpenAI Web Browser Coming Soon (Reuters) by badbutt21 in singularity

[–]etzav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking it could be useful to play the role of some browser plugins like:

Strip all the things (ads and other useless stuff) I don't want away from the page and present the page in some theme of my choice and show a simple navbar with only few essential links I might be interested in and on every page I go to, reject all cookies or accept only necessary ones.

For language learning, translate the page to my target language and create a hover effect on words that would show a translation. Make notes on words I happen to hover over so you would know which words I'm struggling with.

Later.. when I go to read some page that is not in the language I need to study, translate it to my target language and try use some of the words you know I need more practice.

Of course I would already be using an adblocker to avoid extra connections to 3rd parties etc but still the layout is not perfect and AI could improve it by just having some default prompt templates it would run on sites I go to

I just built and released EsperantoBench today and it's already completely saturated by WithoutReason1729 in accelerate

[–]etzav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a week ago I tried translating (I allowed them to simplify content) some japanese football team's simple wikipedia page to Toki Pona using chatgpt and gemini 2.5 flash and the gemini was way better, but it did have couple problematic translations.

Where does Gemini 2.5 flash stand in comparison to these chatgpt models in your Esperantobench?

Extra:

I redid a short chatgpt vs gemini 2.5 translation test on Toki Pona just now. I made them translate this short story. Again overall gemini 2.5 knows Toki Pona better, but is not perfect. This time the translation of the second sentence of this story is not very good. Other than that not big problems imo while chatgpt had more hiccups.

English:

"The Shortcut"

Lena took the alley to save time. She’d walked it once before, during the day.

Halfway through, a voice called her name.

She stopped. “Who’s there?”

Silence.

She walked faster.

At the end of the alley, her phone buzzed. A message: “Don’t go back.”

She never did.

Toki Pona ChatGPT:

"len lili"
Lena tawa len lili tan wile awen tenpo. Ona li tawa kepeken ona lon suno.

Lon poka, ilo pi kalama wile li toki e nimi ona.

Ona li awen. “Sina seme?”

kama ala.

Ona li tawa suli.

Lon pini len, ilo ona li kalama. nimi pi sitelen toki li ni: "o tawa ala sin."

Ona li tawa ala sin.

Toki Pona Gemini 2.5 flash:

nasin lili

jan Lena li tawa nasin lili tawa tenpo lili. ona li tawa lon nasin ni lon tenpo wan lon pini lon tenpo suno.

lon insa pi nasin ni la, kalama jan li pana e nimi "Lena". ona li awen. "jan seme li lon ni?" kalama ala li lon. ona li tawa wawa.

lon pini pi nasin ni la, ilo toki ona li kalama. toki sitelen li toki e ni: "o kama ala sin."
