Nano banana Pro: “i need a flowchart for how to toast bread, make it as wacky and over the top and complicated as possible.“
Not absolutely perfect, but I can’t believe how much there is a coherent through-line, how clear the text is, and also parts of it are actually funny?

Is your vacuum cleaner watching you?
It might be and it could be uploading photos, videos, and audio from your home to train AI models… and to help companies sell you more stuff.

The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds
When Amazon Web Services went offline, people lost control of their cloud-connected smart beds, getting stuck in reclined positions or roasting with the heat turned all the way up.

Auroras exist on Jupiter too, and they are incredibly powerful.
Jupiter's auroras are larger, brighter, and more intense than Earth's, primarily in the UV band, and they are constantly on.
Jupiter possesses a magnetic field about 20,000 times stronger than Earth's.

Humanoid robots just landed a clean wallflip—no sticky soles, just smart retargeting.
Amazon FAR intern Zhen Wu shows BeyondMimic + OmniRetarget can transfer human motion to a humanoid with minimal RL tweaks. Interaction-preserving retargeting does the heavy lifting; tracking keeps it stable.
