That's what brothers do

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.

Recumbent Calf from Uruk

Made of limestone and lapis-lazuli, this small model of a recumbent calf may have been a votive object, intended as an offering to Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of love, fertility, and war. 

Uruk, c. 3300-2900 BCE.

'Through some strange alchemy(crochet) they turned a bundle of yarn into a stuffed giraffe'

'Through some strange alchemy(bad cooking) they turned a perfectly marinated steak into a charcoal briquet'

'Through some strange alchemy(good cooking) they turned a pile of slop into the fluffiest bread loaf I'd ever seen'

'Through some strange alchemy(bad reading comprehension) they took my polite statement and turned into a disgusting act against the poor'

Done more than double the original notes.

I have mixed feelings. It's mostly amused bewilderment, with a healthy dose of 'I'm happy that so many people think my dumb joke is funny and that someone elevated it to a fiber-craft that even more people love'

But there's also a definitive pinch of 'fuck you what have you done'

Levi's said yes, actually. Assless chaps and a biker vest. Happy Pride.
