A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou
Let’s fucking go
This is HUGE.
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.
TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.
If you fold a pizza in half, is it a sandwich?
the language is not some inherent truth of life. we made the words as a lens to better understand the world.
no one in the comments has listened
i think if you folded a pizza in half it wouldn’t be very easy to eat and i would not eat it anyway actually because i am lactose intolerant. but if i did eat it i would unfold it first because the folded pizza would be too tall to fit in my mouth unless i squished. also if i shoot a bullet from the moon and it kills someone in texas do the texas police have jurisdiction or do the moon police?
you, though.
you have listened.

you have to forgive the printer because it's one of the most machine-ass machines we interact with on a day to day basis. that thing says kerchunk. hardly anything says kerchunk these days. you can't get mad at her when she kerchunks up a little.
Crazy that tech has gotten so bad that we're doing printer forgiveness now
Always remember that the EU did a study in 2013 about the effects of piracy on media publishers and found that there is no correlation between piracy and sales! (And then they tried to hide that study bc that's not the result they wanted)
So piracy is at worst not even a problem, and at best it's free advertisement.
Source: (the link to the actual study is in the article)
In 2013, the European Commission ordered a €360,000 ($430,000) study on how piracy affects sales of music, books, movies and games in the EU

on mustafar, everything was pain.
alternatively: the fact that this is a post-mustafar duel fic is its own content warning.
i entirely blame the existence of this fic on @panakin-crywalker.
i was thinking that people don’t appreciate how overwhelmingly funny the death star getting blown up is; i mean, you know, on some level, this is just some teenager from space alabama who grew up shooting cans with a shotgun going, “yeah, you want me to attack the biggest military base in space history with absolutely no piloting-in-space experience? i can do that.” like back in space alabama luke flew the equivalent of a crop duster, maybe, but then the rebellion’s like this kid we met two hours ago, we need to put him in a fighter. luke has absolutely no hours piloting a fighter in space before this, and then he succeeds because he’s got magic powers, and the voices told him to. what is probably the most overwhelmingly enormous military base ever built in space with the most extreme firepower ever amassed in space loses in a fight to a guy who had less flight time than a fresh soviet pilot in WWII, this is already the funniest military victory in pop fiction, bar none.
but then you go to how luke wins, aside from the magic powers and the voices in his head; he convinces the local weed guy to get into armed conflict with the military, and the local weed guy shows up in the space equivalent of a VW bus that has a gun duct taped to it, and this is the rig that manages to shoot down darth vader. i should say that by this point in star wars, darth vader has been fighting in war since he was nineteen, and the first time he flew a fighter was when he was nine, he’s widely renowned not only as one of the best pilots in the galaxy, but also as one of the most dangerous people in the galaxy period, like if you let him loose on a battlefield everyone probably just sort of hangs back and lets him massacre everyone. because honestly they’re really just accessories in this. things like “air support” or “artillery” or even “other people with guns” aren’t super necessary because vader’s got the magic powers, the voices in his head, and also a sword that kills people, you know? definitely a couple imperial victories boil down to, “we just told vader to go to work, and then we found a mountain of bodies afterwards.” and this is the guy who gets creamed by a VW bus plus gun. han and chewie fucking scooby and shaggy his ass, and in legends vader ate shit so hard he spiraled out of control, crashed on a planet in the middle of nowhere, and promptly went kind of crazy and decided to slum it with - and i shit you not - a pack of literal space hyenas, who adopted him as their king. he then became the only fucking survivor of the entire ordeal. we really don’t appreciate how fucking funny this is.
Ok, but Solo and Chewbacca aren’t the local weed guys, they’re pre-nascar nascar drivers. Back when you ran from the police instead of round and round a track. That whole parsecs thing is space nascar.
no, no, no, at best i’ll give han and chewie credit for maybe doing the space cannonball run, but first and foremost they’re drug runners. they’re moving drugs. i think even “weed dealer”, while funnier than “guy who shuttles drugs”, is kind of inaccurate, because they seem to really be drug transport. the main goal of their outfit is less speed and more moving drugs, being fast and willing to shoot first (hah) is just how you advertise that you’re good at moving drugs usually, hence why han and chewie lead with that in ANH.
this is a pedantic distinction that only serves the purpose of making this even fucking funnier, because there actually is someone in the main cast of star wars who is very literally an ex space NASCAR driver and also canonically had an illicit street racing career, it just also happens to be darth vader. he had a really colorful life outside of, y'know, all the killing. but he left space NASCAR to escape violent exploitation and also study the blade and maybe the voices in his head as well.
the funniest joke in this post has become the long line of people dunking on me for not knowing how NASCAR started. a) that’s cool b) what a lesson in humility

Debating silently showing this to one of the flight attendants while boarding
I SHOWED IT TO MY FLIGHT ATTENDANT WHEN HE GAVE ME MY COOKIES AND HE LAUGHED SO HARD HE TOOK MY PHONE TO SHOW IT TO THE OTHER FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Please stop sharing this, the average flight does not carry enough cookies.
hate how they forced bugs bunny into anti-weed propaganda in the 90s, as if bugs bunny wouldn’t love smoking weed
To be perfectly fair, bugs bunny would also love taking money for starring in anti-weed propaganda and then using said money to buy weed
bugs bunny is not real
Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in:
1. Do not do age verification.
2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.
The tool presents users with a 3D model they can then manipulate to, the creator says, bypass Discord's age verification system.
Oh no I dropped my link, what a horrible thing! Sure hope this doesn't get reblogged until it reaches users from the UK and Brazil!
And remember to not make a second account just to test out what works best when verifying your identity
A reminder that we still dont support Age Verification bullshit.

why does every story dealing with transhumanism feel like it has to come up with a whole new kind of discrimination against augmented humans that's always a metaphor for racism, when like. there is very much already a pre-existing stigma against augmented humans and very much already an ideological infrastructure that any systemic oppression would be scaffolded on. And it is called ableism.
transhumanist stories are about disability. they're fundamentally about the limitations of the human body and what it means to change, subvert, and redirect those limitations. they're very much about the blurred line between body and tool and the embodiment of tools as a part of our self-image (a fundamentally disabled topic). people who get bodily augmentations that challenge the line between tool and user exist right now, and are disabled, and any further developments in that tech field are going to develop in a disability context.
but every time someone writes something in this genre they're like "uhhh, waow, i guess i need to come up with Brand-New Cyborg Racism!! wouldn't it be craaaaazy if we lived in a world where people were, like, racist, except instead of race it's about, like, being a cyborg????"
also i hate what the word "incurious" has become among judgemental cunts on tumblr dot edu but like. it does, to be honest, show a deep-seated ignorance on the topic you are writing about when a story shows zero awareness of the ways augmented humans are right the fuck nowwww being oppressed on a systemic level. like a lot of early cyberpunk has a very real awareness of the ways disabled people are vulnerable in corporate contexts; "this corporation owns a Literal Part Of My Body that i am, technically, only renting" is a real! thing! a way that cyborgs, who do actually exist in our current reality, are marginalized on a systemic level! if you're not interested in extrapolating that out into your transhumanist videos games narrative i can't, like, make you, but i do think it shows a fundamental problem where you are uninterested in The Entirety Of The Topic You Are Writing About to the extent that you can't even look at how it operates in the real world and can only rotate it around as a two-dimensional hypothetical in your brain.
