"By introducing an AI image generator as a Google Earth feature, Google risked undermining public trust in Google Earth as a reliable reference for providing authentic imagery of the real world, Ess said. It could have also handed an additional excuse to government officials or anyone who wants to deny genuine satellite photos by claiming they were modified or generated entirely by AI tools."

How are the tech corps justifying the AI bubble? Why, by just INVENTING SUBSCRIBERS!
It's easy when you lie!

In the Netherlands. We call it by it's correct name. And "Lake America" is not even an option.
So why is #google doing this???
Google's triple position as buyer agent, seller agent, and auction house manager for probably a majority of search ads has been ruled an illegal monopoly...

So, are all the people angry at #Google #maps for predictably renaming #LakeOntario actually going to stop using it, or just complain and make excuses, just like they've done with basically every other
I noticed a shocking deterioration in the Google Translate results today (German to English). It used to have some flaws, but never as ridiculous as today. Judge for yourself.

Bei einem Nettogewinn 2025 von Alphabet/Google mit rund 132,2 Milliarden US-Dollar, dann entsprechen 890 Millionen Euro ungefähr 0,7 % davon.
A mass-exodus from Google Maps to Mapquest because Trump renamed Lake Ontario was not on my bingo card...

I just got an email saying they're removing Google Assistant from mobile devices on Sept 4th and forcing their AI on to devices.
Didn't they kill Assistant last year?
I'm confused

What's a good browser based alternative to Google Maps? ideally both for directions and basic satellite images.
Mapquest seems to be less than great at finding random things.

It simply works, but I guess the executives think that "yeah, I think it's basically Gemini, so why two of them?"
Seriously, do any of you folks ever try Google Gemini to do things? Not to learn about things; do things.

Let me say something fun about the #Polish language.
When you name the letters of the alphabet, "G" is pronounced "gye" (with "g" pronounced similarly to "good", not "George").
"Gie" also exists as a euphemism for "gówno", or shit. It has the same pronunciation, it's derived from the letter "g" in that word.
Well, we were prepared for #Google.

Oh now this is the best tech news I have heard for awhile…. Is a Mega-Enron situation about to happen to a bunch of the Magnificient Seven?
“Like Enron, they’re using special purpose vehicles, or off-balance sheet arrangements such as legally distinct subsidiaries, as a way to make their financial reporting look healthier than it actually is — often a glaring sign that something is deeply amiss behind the scenes.”
Also… is this why Apple effectively outsourced its AI, rather than build its own. If so, it could be the smartest tech hedge of the century.
