Google's own researchers now say AI is a top vector of disinfo, in a paper that severely and obviously undercounts the problem

On PC it seems only and offer no frills non bloated anymore.

Maybe the Duck duck Go browser, but it lacks the things I actually do count as essential (syncing across platforms).

Anyway, all other browsers seem chock full of bloat, cramming the browser full of features I will never use.

It's a good thing climate change isn't bad or else having temperatures inching towards +30C before the end of May would be worrying.

had to use the internet without ublock origin for like five minutes the other day and was horrified about what an ad-infested shithole it is, i can't believe regular people just live like this, it's like some horrible dystopian parallel universe

@vantablack And there's always someone that tries to make me feel guilty for using an adblocker.

Again, for the ppl in the back: It is not your moral obligation to watch ads on the web any more than it is your obligation to never take a piss during TV commercials.

...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.

@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.
