A new tool from Google and OpenAI lets us better see through the eyes of artificial intelligence
Researchers have puzzled this for decades, but in recent years the question has become more pressing. Machine vision systems are being deployed in more and more areas of life, from healthcare to self-driving cars, but ”seeing” through the eyes of a machine — understanding why it classified that person as a pedestrian but that one as a signpost — is still a challenge. Our inability to do so could have serious, even fatal, consequences. And some would say it already has, as with the deaths involving self-driving cars.
New research from Google and nonprofit lab OpenAI hopes to further prise open the black box of AI vision by mapping the visual data these systems use to understand the world. The method,…
Notion’s new web clipper makes it a powerful competitor to Evernote
In the years since Evernote cratered, ambitious note-takers have been searching for an app that matches its utility, speed, and ease of use. Some ambition would be nice, too — a sense that the developer will go beyond the simple text notes and tables that are possible today and invent new ways to make us more creative and productive.

As of today, it’s easier to migrate to Evernote than it had been before. The company is introducing one-click importing to bring your Evernote notes into Notion. It also added a web clipper and share sheet extension for iOS and Android to help you more easily…

Parisian residents are demanding gates to keep Instagrammers off their famous street
Yet another public space is finding itself loved to death by the onslaught of Instagrammers. Residents of Paris’ Rue Crémieux, a car-less cobblestone street lined with pastel-colored homes, this week are demanding that the city install gates on both ends of the road to block visitors on weekends and evenings.

“We sit down to eat and just outside we have people taking photos — rappers who take two hours to film a video right beneath the window, or bachelorette parties who scream for an hour,” a resident told a…
