...Is the AI overview experimental as in "Let's put some parsley in this and see what happens",
the "Vault Tech wants YOU to become a genetic super soldier with no brains NOW",
or the "We don't know how to make this stop suggesting stupid shit but don't want to say it so we just glue a small print disclaimer at the top in case someone eats asbestos due to an AI suggestion" way?

Remember that RIGHT NOW there are tech bros that are afraid AI will become sentient within 12 months from now.

Introduce them to a tamaguchi and they'd freak out.

The funny part with this is that they probably paid more for them than the British Museum did.

Ah, the Internet

The mods at Imgur decided to try to moderate images of punched nazis, which now means every second post on the site is a video or gif of a punched nazi.

@thomasfuchs the difference of course is that you can still buy the small car, it is an active choice to make an ass of oneself. Heck I have a much bigger respect for someone who buys a sport car than a SUV.

@art_codesmith @thomasfuchs a big part of that is safety tho. Airbags in all side panels increases width with at least 25 cm for example.

Codsworth, unlike all other robots level up in the same way (the other) living companions do.

Now that's true Accidental AI: the power of Heart has taught him not only to think freely and develope true independence, but his Self is rewriting the very physical circuits in his body.

It appears Google's AI overview is really just RAG over the top search results (= search stuff on the web given the user query, let LLM answer query given the contents of search result)

Naturally, redditors have started poisoning search results. Google ranks Reddit very highly. This issue is basically not fixable unless Google largely ignores Reddit content except for known good content, or develops a model they can use to filter adversial content (which is basically impossible)

Glorius.

thinking about how at my old retail job, there was a screen that showed ads by the checkout line, but at some point a windows error message popped up and it stayed there for months

@mjdxp It is always funny but most places reboots or whatever within an hour.

I do remember someone showing a city bus in north-western Europe (Belgium? Netherlands? North-West germany?`Don't remember) which just had the loading sequence for Linux on the time table TV and it was obviously stuck at some command near the end.

Here's a fact. .....

There are two countries on Earth that have privatised water industries.

Chile

And .....

WhyNotZoidberg,
@WhyNotZoidberg@topspicy.social avatar

@Indyposterboy @Geri There are two reasons to privatize public works:

  1. Capitalism is your religion and you do not care about the results, you truly believe in your soul that everything will be better with companies owning everything in the world

  2. You want your buddies to make a quick buck so you give away the people's stuff to them for lulz.

@Geri @Indyposterboy what I meant is they disregard every case before this

@leo_fie @Geri @Indyposterboy I have argued for decades that Trickle down, specifically, is a religious belief since it has been tried OVER AND OVER and has never worked yet highly educated economists still swear it will work THIS time.

@philip_cardella @Lana oh a few of them even managed to do a detour and scream at the Fallout TV show for being "woke and political with forced diversity".

Luckily enough the Fallout subreddits laughed at them until they left. I mean we will kill each other over what game is best, but there are limits to what we put up with.

@clacke @root42 @tob @nikatjef @Tattooed_Mummy exactly. Especially since the marketing and a lot of the tech press leans into the "smart" bit so hard.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat It has been known for centuries that if you shoot one crow, there is a very high likelihood that the rest will be gone, for weeks. They'll let those pesky magpies have the local french fries by the park bench for awhile if they can't figure out the cause of death I guess.
