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

when talking about efforts to forcibly institutionalize or otherwise wield psychiatric violence against trans people you should be conceptualizing these things not as misuses or perversions of originally well-meaning and necessary processes but instead as natural extensions of the continuum of violence represented by the psychiatric system. this is not a power that psychiatric doctors should hold over anyone, and so long as they do it will continue to disproportionately impact vulnerable groups in devastating ways
Trying to get Linux to dual-boot on my computer is a wild ride when itâs not cooperating, I have an exam tomorrow, one the day after that, and two final projects/course reflections to finish up by the end of the week.
Process was going smoothly afyer I asked my tech-savvy cousin for some help (because I initiated a catastrophic error somehow), but then everything but the mouse froze and Iâm stuck on this stupid screen and have been since 8:41 (for reference, currently past 9).
Like, I chose Linux Mint because it was meant to be user-friendly, not because I wanted a 3-day headache and an essentially non-functional laptop. Especially not now :(
Update: got it fixed and functional, but now Linux freezes every once in a while. So thatâs cool đ
something thats been working for me for a while now is keeping colour coded tracker (i used to it manually in my journal, but now i use excel). to keep it simple, i just use red, yellow and green (and black if u want to block out days)
suppose i want to jog 5x a week, i block out 2 rest days in black. the days i dont jog is red, yellow is say smthn like i didnt jog today, but i walked
it rlly helps me visualise my daily goals while simultaneously breaking them down into smthn thats more approachable. it also makes me think abt how im spending my day and being intentional w my time, which is rlly good for me. its like u said, i dont want to go cold turkey or restrict myself, but i do want to incorporate better ways to spend my time
As someone who lacks motivation/ drive in pretty much all aspects of my life, if seeing a gradual shift from a mostly red sheet at the start ending in green by the end of the month is what gets me to do things then so be it. if it works it works !!
i also like the fluidity that having a yellow option gives me, if i cant do x for y minutes and get a green box, i can still do it for z minutes (or a variation of it) for a yellow box :)
it also sort of also goes w the ego death thing u talked about a few days ago, filling in any box as red at the end of the day rlly hurts for me but it forces me to confront those emotions and keep myself accountable
I love this idea a lot!! Super simple and applicable!!
I love the yellow for partially complete tasks btw!! Totally agree thatâs such a fluid way to log progress even if itâs not perfect
ok itâs driving me insane but. I donât think a lot of people know the difference between referencing and tracing
Underrated hack for tracking progress and not being hard on yourself during early stages is to have a âdemo dayâ where you track what your baseline is without intentional modifications to improve. For example, say someone is trying to decrease their screen time. They give themself a screen time limit (2-3 hours usually) and try to abide by it. Sometimes theyâre good about it, other times they fall off. Theyâre really hard on themself when they fall off track. However, whatâs not in perspective for them is the fact that they started with like a 9 hour screen time. Even the fact that on some days theyâre succeeding is huge. You need to have a âtangibleâ view of your baseline to compare your improvement to. That way youâre way less hard on yourself. Donât skip the demo day
Here are some ideas for someone whoâs trying to get better at screen time, eating healthy, fitness, studying etc :)
Screen time: I totally made this up but using the stopwatch function on the clock app has been so good for me. Odd laps = Iâm on my phone and scrolling. Even laps = Iâm off my phone. I do a demo day where I just let myself be on my phone as much as possible, then survey the data I have by the end of the day and modify from there. There are the pickup and screen time functions on iPhone too, but I find this is so much more meticulous and makes me aware of how long I last without picking my phone up and scrolling. I track my phone use in subsequent days using this too. Also the timer when Iâm âoffâ the phone is a passive accountability factor that keeps me off it. If app blockers donât work for you, try this!
Working out: have a âdemo dayâ where you journal about any type of movement you did. That could be literally nothing. Maybe you were sedentary. Then track every subsequent day where you work out/donât work out. This could just be on your notes app tbh, simpler is better when youâre first establishing a habit. Log it even if itâs 5 mins. Always compare progress to the demo day. Even if you did literally 5 minutes of a simple workout, thatâs still an improvement from being totally sedentary like you were on demo day
Study hours: have a demo day where you study as much as you would without any intentional efforts to get better. Same method for working out applies here - track that somewhere and compare it to subsequent days. Also track by how many tasks you got done. Always have demo day to compare to
Another simple way to track adherence to a habit is the Habit app!
Just to add to this: I feel like most peopleâs âdemo dayâ is Day 1, where theyâre at peak motivation and doing everything by the book. So if they fall off later down the line, naturally theyâre harder on themselves. Thatâs why there should be a Day 0, or demo day. You need to always remember where you used to be so as not to fall into an all or nothing mentality. Iâm veryyy guilty of this.
I think the thing about establishing a healthy habit is so many people sabotage themselves by going into preparation overload. When youâre first starting out your goal should be reducing friction as much as possible, not adding to it. Like if you want to work out more your first order of business shouldnât be going to the store and buying fancy workout equipment fits etc. That just adds friction. You want it to be as simple as possible because establishing a new habit is already uncomfortable. We should be reducing friction from habits we want to establish and adding friction to things we want to drop, like our phone use. This is literally how they design phones btw. They make it incredibly easy to check your phone by reducing friction with how they design their apps. So to combat that we need to introduce friction back into those harmful habits
