Google's AI Overviews are failing to provide search summaries for specific command-style terms including "disregard", "ignore", and "skip" (Jay Peters/The Verge)

The survey for the #ECB's banknote designs survey has a link to #Bluesky (ecb.europa.eu) which is on #WSocial.
They can't even bring themselves to label it "W" and just have it as BlueSky. 😂

Screenshot from the end of the survey regarding the new Euro banknotes. Thank you very much for participating! What happens next? Your responses, along with those of other participants, will be analysed and published later in a final report. Your feedback will be taken into account in the final decision on which design to proceed with, expected at the end of 2026. At a later point in time, a decision will be made about when to introduce a new series of euro banknotes …

Artificial Intelligence Floods Court Dockets with Home-Brewed Lawsuits

The IPO prospectus SpaceX dropped last night revealed how much the world’s largest public offering is underpinned by a founder firmly in control.
Elon Musk, who previously complained he didn’t have a big enough say in Tesla,
will control 85% of the vote at SpaceX through special shares
(and will get another billion shares if SpaceX puts a million-person colony on Mars).
The filing raised speculation that after SpaceX goes public, a purchase of Tesla isn’t far off.

SpaceX IPO filing lays out Musk’s interplanetary manifesto
The document also revealed how much the world’s largest public offering is underpinned by a founder firmly in control.
