A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou

This is HUGE.

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.

TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.

best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say

sometimes the subject of your thoughts is just in this thing

I think I just realized that part of my anxiety with being in public is that I feel like I don't have the same right to use public spaces as other people do. Like they're the real People Who Use This Coffee Bar. And when I try to use it as someone who is not Inherently Worthy Of Using The Coffee Bar I'm just getting in their way

I have absolutely no fucking charity to give to anti-vegan leftists.

I am specifically referring to people who claim to be leftist, progressive, etc. and go out of their way to shit on veganism, on animal rights, and the environmental and human rights/health aspect that all forms of animal agriculture and exploitation produce.

Y’all are deeply fucking unserious. You are horribly and laughably unserious. There are piles and piles and piles of evidence regarding animal abuse, worker abuse, the pollution produced, and ailments to human health that have been studied and observed for DECADES by so many different groups ranging from those in environmental sciences (that y’all claim to fucking love) to activists who don’t get paid shit.

I don’t believe you. I don’t believe any of you want to try and attempt for a better world. Y’all talk about “revolution” but won’t even try to lessen your animal product intake. Y’all wanna talk about intersectionality but shit on any marginalized group or person that speaks out for veganism. Y’all want to talk about boycotting billionaires and massive conglomerations but will not get off animal agriculture’s dick.

No one is forcing you to do anything. But yall are showing your whole fucking asses when you shill for corporations who would fucking burn your house down to make feedlots or slaughterhouses. Y’all are showing your true colors when you LITERALLY USE RIGHT WING AND CONSERVATIVE TALKING POINTS to protect literal billion- and millionaires.

“No ethical consumption under capitalism” until there is even a SLIGHT thing you could do about it and then somehow veganism is shoving shit down your throat.

Yall are a fucking clown circus.
