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.

In which Mei Changsu takes the poison.

And wakes in a universe where the Lin family fell ten years earlier.

Her name is Li. Jiang Li’s name is obviously also Li.

Xiao Heng knows she isn’t Jiang Li, and he’s basically the only one (besides Tong-er and the other temple maidens) who is 100% certain of her real identity

But they’re both named Li!

When they’re alone he basically never ever calls her “Jiang er-niangzi” (second lady Jiang). He basically only references her connection the Jiang family when they have an audience.

And when he calls her A’Li, that’s basically acknowledging both identities! Both of her families called her that.

But there’s one moment early on when he’s goading her into revealing her true identity, and he says, “Li? Lihua? Or Limao?”

Lihua is a perfectly acceptable girl’s name. Limao is not.

Lihua is obviously referring to the “real” Jiang Li — it means pear blossom, and the show makes it clear that that is her symbol. It also associates pear blossoms with all of the women who have been wronged and die unjust deaths.

Limao is specifically referring to Xue Li, aka Xue Fangfei. The jade pendant from her mother is a cat, and cats are wily, stubborn, and aloof. All things that describe this very strange lady he’s just met.

Xiao Heng’s question is basically, “Are you a delicate noble flower or are you a scrappy stray cat?”

She’s the kind of cat that brings you small dead animals, and he adores her.

When he calls her xiao limao, he means her and only her. Not the real Jiang Li. Not her pretending to be Jiang Li. But also not Xue Fangfei, who loved Shen Yurong and suppressed her own talents and intelligence in service of her husband’s aspirations. He means the woman who dug herself out of her own grave, asked him to arrest her, and uses him however she pleases like a true cat.

This is what a leopard cat looks like:

He opened his eyes.

Already, he had braced himself for the endless echoing corridors, for the ubiquitous ash that had been dislodged millennia ago as he had crashed into the firmament of Hell and had been falling ever since, to the doors and the human souls and the dark.

He saw none of it.

Instead, when he opened his eyes, it was to find that he was accosted by light. Bright and sterile and nothing that he had ever thought to see again. He hissed in discomfort as it burned through him, muscles tensed to flee even before he realised just what was before him.
