"Google AI Overview court loss in Germany could spell doom for AI search industry."

The article is really worth reading. The tldr is there was a court case where some publishers were suing Google for their AI summaries saying the publishers were up to shady shit they weren't doing. Google was trying to hide behind the 'it has a disclaimer about making mistakes it's up to the user to verify it!' defence. The court ruled that that was basically bullshit because not enough people do that, and because how the law works is that if someone lies about you you can sue them for defamation. They ALSO ruled that Google can't say 'oh but people need ai to search the web', since it literally worked before. Really interesting stuff in terms of the laws which are just forming around AI.

also this is part of a disturbing but sadly not uncommon attitude that progress = women (specifically women most of the time) showing more skin. because not showing skin is "following irrational religious modesty mandates" like the man on twitter says

In retrospect, it's hilarious that Stratt made everybody on the vat speak English in deference to Grace being monolingual

grace, who has been alone for five minutes: oh my god. an alien! im not alone anymore! i hope he wants to be friends :)
