Stuff from the Sea

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.

do you wanna do stupid shit like this (using only my own journals to preserve people's privacy)

well! this is one of many places! but have you considered: trying out journal rp!! we used to be on livejournal! we're on dreamwidth now!

(livejournal rp is where this comes from btw)

Here's a newbie guide I made! It's got a glossary!

It's easy to make journals and mess around with them and you only need one email account! Play with canon characters like barbie dolls! Play with OCs also like barbie dolls! It's fun!!

If you've dropped off journal rp and you want a little place to hop back in and warm up I have started a comm for this purpose!! New and old people super super welcome!

There are so many game settings you can play in, non-commitment memes you can dip in and out of without any stress, graphics communities, all of it. Also the archival system works beautifully. I can still read rp logs from 15 years ago if I go looking for it. Privacy settings are wonderful as well. I cannot stress this enough: the privacy and archive settings of dreamwidth journals and communities are leagues above any other rp format I've tried. Even if there is ever a worry that the dreamwidth site itself may go down, there are any number of ways to easily back up the logs to your personal device.

The initial learning curve to how using the journal account for play-by-post works is a bit of work up front, but it's honestly the most straightforward way I've ever seen it done in all my years of experimenting around.

KILL AI AND REBLOG AND CREATE ART IN 2026

dude, he’s just not into you!
