I think I should start bragging about my adopted son’s achievements when people around me start bragging about their kids. Ooooh your child can count to 10 in mandarin? Well, my child found 110 landmines! And he’s only 6 years old!

I <3 HeroRats, I've been following them for years and they're still one of my favorite things

Cas when Dean isn't around:

Husband-husband can't live without each other.

(Not even talking about the widower arc and suicidal tendency whenever the other is gone, just look at the everyday infinite text bombing and counting the days precise to hours.)

sooo annoying that my parents didn't provide emotional support growing up now it's a whole fucking thing

[my-flying-sister]

Cas being created as not anything special but as an ordinary angel #2759503599 is very important to me actually. Dean and Sam are gods favorite blorbos, the main characters, so ofc they are in the story. But Cas is in the story only because of his choices. He is not supposed to be in this story, he is choosing to be. Do you get me??

Crazy how much of a nothingburger actormen reunion on The Boys turned out to be.

The funny thing is that no one was happy about it: The Boys fans didn't like that the plot of the final season was put on pause for Kripke's boytoys; spn fans didn't like that nobody fucked after all the promises about "tons of body fluids". Embarrassing.

Always thinking about that post that’s like you know a shows fucked when people can name individual writers.

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 still a preliminary injunction, not a final ruling, and Google can appeal. But for publishers, brands, SEOs, and anyone watching AI search swallow the results page, the message is clear: if Google wants to be the answer engine, courts may start treating it like the publisher of those answers.

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names

[roseworth]

wearing a shirt that says “even in an au fanfiction, the characters, relationships, or even the scenarios are recognizable in the best fanfic, and an au without ties to the source material may be a fine story but it’s not a good fanfiction” and booty shorts that say “I HATE FUN”

[maddie-grove]

I really like this website because somebody will be like “there’s nothing wrong with darting out from behind a parked car into traffic, bootlicker” and you can be like okay this clearly evolved from a valid point about how the US is too car-centric. But something happened to it.

Headline: A Cry for Help from Gaza — Please Don't Look Away 🇵🇸

This is Mohmd Hlywat (Vetted #475). I am appealing to your humanity to help save my family (my father, my brother, and myself) from the severe famine and ongoing danger in Gaza. After losing my mother and older brother, keeping them safe is my only goal.

[mohamdjp]

We lack the most basic necessities: clean water and food. Prices are sky-high, and resources are scarce

[mohamdjp]

Life here has become a relentless struggle just to stay alive. Prices in Gaza have skyrocketed to insane levels, and our basic right to clean water or a simple meal now costs amounts we cannot afford. We are living in an unsanitary environment, facing the daily risk of diseases, contamination, and a severe lack of basic hygiene supplies or medicine.My father is deeply suffering under these harsh conditions. My brother and I are doing everything we can to keep him safe and healthy, but we are completely helpless without your support. Your donations are not just numbers; they represent our next meal and the clean bottle of water that keeps sickness away from us. Please, do not leave us alone in this fight for survival

Please consider donating even a small amount to help us buy food and survive these harsh conditions.

Please, please, look at my donation campaign and help me. I have newborn children and my son Ahmed needs treatment. He is a heart patient and suffers from two holes in the heart. He needs help and treatment. We do not have money and we are stuck in Egypt because of the Gaza war. My wife and I lost my jobs and there is no source of income. I would like you to help. To care for my children and provide the necessary treatment for my child Ahmed, please donate even a little thing to save my child’s life

I write to you with a heavy heart 💔 My children and I are going through very difficult times, and no one is asking about us. My son needs treatment and medication, and he needs milk, diapers, and urgent care. Please don't leave us alone in these difficult circumstances. 😔

We need your help. The situation is extremely difficult. You are our last hope. Food, clothes, milk, rent—everything has become incredibly expensive. My son, Ahmed, needs heart surgery and eye surgery. Please help my son so he can complete his treatment and undergo the operations. In addition to my family in Gaza, my parents, brothers, and sisters are also living in dire circumstances. Please help me for the sake of my family.

My name is Sharif, and I suffer from a back injury. I need intensive treatment and physical therapy to recover. Unfortunately, we lost everything in Gaza; we have no income and cannot work. The situation is extremely difficult.

My name is Mamdouh, and I'm trying to reach safety for myself and my family from this difficult situation. My children are clinging to life, living in extremely harsh conditions in a small tent after everything was destroyed. We had dreams, but unfortunately, everything was destroyed after my wife and I lost our jobs and became without income. My son, Muhammad, needs surgery, medication, and to travel abroad.

Please donate to help provide breakfast for my children and to cover the necessary medical treatment for my son Mohammed. Please don't abandon us in these difficult circumstances.
