Big news!

Nova & Mali's and Dame Productions big queer knight art book, My Liege, is launching on Kickstarter on June 16th! Here's a sneak peek of my piece.

One group that has perfectly adapted to ensure these winters are the Karanis (Crassopectiniformes). This ancient order of birds was amongst the first to colonize the continent when it first started to thaw, and has found great success through a very unique adaptation. Although they have completely lost their wings, they still retain a fairly robust breastbone that they use not to support large flying muscles. They take advantage of the short growth period of plants on the continent and eat as much as they can, storing all the extra energy in the form of fat that they slowly burn through the winter to supplement the meagre amounts of food they can acquire during it.

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.

Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.

We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!
