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, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators don't apply to AI overviews. In this case, Google's AI had falsely linked two publishers to fraud and made claims that didn't appear in any of the linked sources. The ruling could set a precedent for AI-generated content liability worldwide.

Fox News claims it’s entertainment not news.

Users generally knew “that information generated with AI should not be blindly trusted,” the company claimed. That’s a remarkable statement given the scale at which Google serves AI overviews.

"I took the German or Autistic diagnostic. Results: probably autistic. Wittgenstein would have gotten the same result."
Also I'm fucking angry that the test said it would take 2 minutes, when it took me 12!

YOUR RESULT Autistic Not necessarily German about it. GERMAN 20% AUTISTIC 69 % Scores are independent - they don't need to add up to 100%. The patterns here are neurological rather than cultural, or at least that's the more parsimonious explanation. The intensity of focus, the difficulty with ambiguity, the literal relationship to what people say versus what they mean these are features of a particular kind of mind, not a particular national character.

Am I German or Autistic?
A rigorous diagnostic. 15 questions. One uncomfortable truth.

Anlass sind Israels Angriffe auf Beirut, die Absprachen mi…

Republicans in the Tennessee House of Representatives voted during a special session on Thursday to adopt a new congressional map that would carve up the state’s lone majority-Black district,
-- a move that came amid raucous protests from angry residents and Democratic lawmakers.
The special session was called by GOP Gov. Bill Lee at the behest of Donald Trump,
whose aggressive gerrymandering push across the country was supercharged by the US Supreme Court’s decision last w…

‘What evil looks like’: outrage as Tennessee GOP rams through racist voting map at Trump’s behest
“This is not a special session—this is a white power rally, and a white power grab,” said one Tennessee Democrat.
