They both made beautiful paintings depicting a similar street-scene! One is not inherently "better" than the other; it comes down to a matter of taste!

Aight, this pisses me off. It’s like these AI bros don’t value human expression or the creative use of stylization to evoke a sensation from the viewer.

For comparison, the Nazis didn’t value any artwork that deviated from realism: they labeled it “degenerate art” and pillaged expressive pieces from art museums.

It’s a very dangerous line of thinking to stick to “less stylized=superior” in terms of art—it harkens the waves of fascism that sought to destroy expression back then, and seek to destroy it now.

From Tyrandosaurus1:

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.

Jemele Hill reacts to viral comments from David French about racism in America and how adopting his daughter from Ethiopia shifted his perspective.

Why does it take a personal experience for some to recognize systemic racism, especially when growing up in the Deep South? Jemele breaks down the deeper issue. The lack of education around Black history, limited cultural curiosity, and how societal bubbles continue to fuel ignorance about racism today.

After Gov. Greg Abbott’s speech at the Texas Republican Party Convention in Houston on Friday afternoon (6/12), an elephant was paraded into the venue, outfitted in a feathered headpiece and banner that read “unity drives victory.” The animal proceeded to urinate on the floor in front of press.
