it’s not my business what people joke about in private but if you are going to joke about lobotomy i think you owe yourself the 22 minutes it takes to listen to howard dully’s 2005 npr report on the transorbital lobotomy he was subjected to at the age of twelve. it’s a hard listen, but it’s a hard subject. like i said, it’s not my business, but it’s always good to know what exactly you’re joking about.

it's so funny what u just consider normal growing up when it's relatively harmless. i guess i got athlete's foot all the time as a child, which makes sense bc i spent a lot of time swimming at public pools, showering in the locker rooms, etc. but i didn't know. i didn't know it was a fungus and my friends, siblings, and i just called it "toe cracks." (like the little fissures that can form between your toes) and i remember all the time as kids we'd be like "ugh i have a really big toe crack" and then we'd just move on. they didn't cause real trouble and healed on their own.

so anyway now i haven't had athlete's foot in like 15 years. so i was hanging out with maggie and i was like "oh yuck i have a big toe crack" and maggie was like "oh yeah that's ahtlete's foot" and i was like huh? all this time?? it's been a fungus???? my toe cracks??

[wizardarchetypes]

yes that's what i'm saying lol! I think "like" made it sound like a comparison. i mean that the fissures/toe cracks were athletes foot all along. they didn't really bother us as kids bc it was never severe. i bet my poor mom did try to treat it but there were a lot of kids coming and going in our busy house so it was probably hopeless lol.

anyway i don't rly get it as an adult (til now) because i wear crocs/rubber shoes in public showers now and spray my birks & other sandals with antifungals.

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

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

[ayeforscotland]

Let’s fucking go

[made-in-manetheren]

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.

[reasonsforhope]

Additional source and more details below. Absolutely thrilled to say that this is real. And yeah, it's huge.

For all the reasons above AND ALSO because this particular lawsuit is a defamation case

Privacy lawsuits are hard because most privacy laws are super super weak, and there's very rarely a lot of money or enforcement backing privacy laws for...twenty million reasons, really...

But defamation suits? Those have teeth.

(In large part because, at least in some countries and including in the US, defamation laws protect public figures the least - and "public figures" legally includes most if not all politicians, and a hell of a lot of other rich ppl too)

A Munich court ruled Google's AI Overviews are its own words, making it liable for false claims, a decision that, if it holds, could reach e

A German court has ruled that Google can be held directly liable for false claims made by its AI Overviews, a decision that could put a serious legal dent in the whole “the AI made me do it” defense. According to The Next Web, the Regional Court of Munich issued a temporary injunction after Google’s AI Overviews wrongly tied two Munich publishers to scams, subscription traps, and dubious business practices. The court treated those AI-generated summaries as Google’s own statements, not just ordinary search results pointing to third-party pages. That distinction matters. Search engines have traditionally had more protection because they index and link to other people’s content. AI Overviews changes the machinery. Google is not just showing the web anymore. It is summarizing it, rewriting it, and sometimes apparently hallucinating a tiny legal grenade into the results page.

This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.
