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.

a. it's a week dedicated to stairs! for 7 full days, 24 hours a day, my blog will be posting a picture of stairs every 15 minutes.

q. how do I participate?

a. the hashtag for this year's festivities is #st9irsweek! starting on Sunday, June 14th,you can post pictures of stairs and tag them with #st9irsweekand I will reblog them, adding them to the queue, and enshrining them forever in the stairsweek collection for future years!

i do not accept submissions for stairposts! you must claim your part in stairsweek yourself. if you do not want your stairs featured in future years celebrations, simply delete the post and it will not be reblogged the next year.

you are also free to reblog, share, and interact with the photos, and are in fact invited/encouraged to. i really like seeing people's tags for the stairs about their opinions/favorites!

q. i don't like stairs ):

a. then block the tag and control your own online experience :)

q. why?

a. I think it's important to remind myself and everyone else that I run my tumblr to collect and post about things I want to. im not on tumblr for clout or success. if i was, I would not post 600+ photos of stairs over the course of a week. i feel like there are are probably much better, more convenient, and efficient ways to get followers on websites that make significantly more money.

also, i just think they're beautiful, interesting, and make you curious about the rest of the larger structure they're part of. they have always been a bit mysterious in that way to me!

q. how many stairsweeks have you had?

a. karkat stairsweek would be entering third grade today :)

q. when is stairsweek?
