The Local St. Augustine and Magic Beach Motel are among those 20 finalists.

10Best said The Local was built in the 1950s and has been restored. It blends the retro with the modern by “contactless check-in, digital key, and platform to check out local events and experiences,” according to its website.

Magic Beach Motel was also built in the ‘50s and had a brush with Hollywood in its history. With its sign showing rabbits hopping in and out of a top hat, it was the setting for the 1999 TV Series “Safe Harbor.”

Voting ends Monday at noon and the 10Best winners will be announced on May 15.

Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn
A feature Google demoed at its I/O confab yesterday, using its generative AI technology to scan voice calls in real-time for conversational patterns associated with financial scams, has sent a collective shiver down the spines of privacy and security experts who are warning the feature represents the thin end of the wedge. Google's demo of the call scam-detection feature, which the tech giant said would be built into a future version of its Android OS — estimated to run on some three-quarters of the world's smartphones — is powered by Gemini Nano, the smallest of its current generation of AI models meant to run entirely on-device. This is essentially client-side scanning: A nascent technology that's generated huge controversy in recent years in relation to efforts to detect child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or even grooming activity on messaging platforms.
