Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends, in the most significant overhaul of Mexican labor law in a generation.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

I cannot believe this is the town I have to live in, just full of paramilitary thugs and wannabe paras who just want to throw their fucking weight around.

But nothing will be done, the government here already constantly bow down to the sectarian cunts who just constantly destroy their own communites. The same fucks who are trying to say "we are uniting unionists and republicans" will be burning the tricolour on the 11th night like they always do and the gormless, racist cunts from down south and Catholic areas in the north won't care if it means they can attack more brown people with impunity.

Trying to find what links I can for those that need support, or for people to try and help. There are good people here, I know that in predominantly Catholic areas the people living there have protected the communities of colour living there in the past and I can only hope they continue to do so today.

Open the “apps” section in your settings (it’s usually at the very bottom), go to photos and scroll until you see “Enhanced Visual Search” and then turn that shit off. Then go to “Privacy and Security”, scroll until you see “Analytics & Improvements”, and turn off “Improve Siri & Dictation” as well.

​I am an artist with hundreds upon hundreds of my artworks in my photo album. I also have plenty of photos with not only my own face, but the faces of my friends and my family. I do not appreciate that being used to train AI without my consent, and I’m pretty sure it’s the same for others too.

I’m so tired of big companies.

Winn Adami who spent so much of her life imprisoned under fascist regime with the threat of genocide looming over her. Who never partook in the resistance but instead turned to prayer and faith in a jail cell, relied on it to get her through those dark, dark years. Who behaved like the perfect faithful servant, who dedicated her life to her faith, who did everything she was supposed to do. She was non-violent and peaceful. She was dutiful and good. She did everything she was asked to do, everything she could have done. And none of it was ever enough

Can you imagine that? Dedicating your life to something, doing everything you’re supposed to do in line with your faith, everything that those that came before you did to hear their voices, and it isn’t enough? You were good. You never raised a hand to anyone. You taught what you were supposed to teach. And they never speak to you. They could, but they don’t. Instead, this human comes along, and they speak to him. They make him their emissary. They say nothing to you, day in and day out, they’re silent. You become the leader of your faith and still they’re silent. How do you become anything else than what she becomes? How do you become anything less than angry? Bitter? Resentful?

Kai Winn is frequently treated like she hasn’t suffered the same as so many other Bajorans, she’s talked down to about her faith and her people, she’s treated like she’s on par with those who oppressed her. And I’m not saying she’s in the right- but man, can you blame her for ending up the way she does? She endured a lifetime of trauma by clinging to faith and the idea that if she was good enough, if she listened to the Prophets and did their bidding, taught their teachings, then everything would work out. She would be rewarded. And she never is. Her entire life is a battle that she never wins. No wonder she’s angry. No wonder she’s bitter. No wonder she’s resentful and petty and condescending
