Shane’s own heart started going a little crazy. “You should see a doctor about that.”

“No age gap??!?!?”

“And no non-con elements”

“NO NON CON?”

“And no coercion or otherwise manipulative behaviors”

“Joe they want a vampire with NOTHING”

Huzzah! Another story has been added to the Game Highlights collection!

Title: Liquid Courage

Fandom: Heated Rivalry

Summary: A little liquid courage helps Ilya and Shane admit their feelings for one another.

Sneak Peek:

“How long is ‘a long time’?” “Since rookie year,” Ilya answered honestly. Shane stared at him mutely as his brain processed this new information. Since their rookie year. For seven years, Ilya had been wondering what it would be like to kiss him. He wondered what they could’ve gotten up to in those seven years if Ilya had found the courage earlier. Would they have hooked up on the regular, sneaking into each other’s hotel rooms for a quick fuck? Or welcomed each other in their own homes for something more? Would they be friends? Boyfriends? Or just fuck buddies, and nothing more? Ilya’s voice roused him from his musings. “Were you not curious, too?” he asked, cockiness giving way to a boyish vulnerability.

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.
