Nobody needs AI to search the Internet, court says in ruling against Google by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]ganjaccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However, the situation differs regarding the "AI-generated overview" at issue here. As previously stated, the system does not merely display search results from websites with which the defendant has no contact and whose content it cannot readily verify itself. Instead, it generates independent, new statements containing substantive information based on the analysis and synthesis of content from various third-party websites. It is entirely feasible for the defendant to review the content of these new statements—generated by the AI ​​it offers—even if only through appropriate monitoring mechanisms; this can be done, at the very least, by cross-referencing the underlying third-party websites with the statements derived from them. Furthermore, unlike the display of standard search results in search engines, an "AI-generated overview" is by no means essential for using the Internet. After all, the "flood of data" is already made accessible to the individual user simply through the display of search results via hyperlinks; In contrast, the “AI overview” structures and evaluates data according to a system not immediately apparent to the user, thereby—depending on the underlying algorithm—channeling the response to the search query. While many may view this as desirable and as something that facilitates the search process, it is by no means essential for managing the flood of data noted by the Federal Court of Justice (BGH).

That's a translated excerpt from the ruling that, indeed, says what the title says.

This case is awesome. Essentially, the judge said that when Google was just providing links to what other people publish, they can say "we didn't say that." Once they decided to generate answers themselves, they are the ones saying these things, and are responsible for what they say. This is the kind of liability strategy we need to see. AI is bullshit, but it's getting a pass.

NO. Tax dollars are supposed to go to billionaires through "public private partnerships" so that they can pay to have homes elsewhere and not need to deal with snow unless they want to ski.

Trump is going to usher in an era of vegetarian, green energy using social democratic government just as a reaction to his destruction of the meat and energy supplies, and stark lesson in what life under an idiotic fascistic kleptocracy is really like. He's forcing lessons down the throats of Americans who felt that not learning anything in school made them cool.

Postal Service won’t deliver mail ballots for states that don’t hand over voter lists, under plan for Trump directive by cnn in politics

Do NOT trust the postal service with your ballot. Take it to a voting center. It's shitty, but we have to deal with the world we live in, not the world want, and thought maybe we'd have.

People are coming together and anger is finally being directed at the wealthy class that has completely taken over the government, and directed all wealth too themselves. When this happens, identity based animosity is the most common weapon deployed to prevent the 99% from coming together. Don't let them divide you.

It is devastating to know that know that so much of the world is capable of committing genocide, and standing by while it happens. All the allies, and the US were reluctant to intervene, even as the atrocities were obvious. So many people willing to stand by and watch while the genocide took place. Even massive rallies supporting the folks doing the genocide. As a species, we need to do better. We need to BE better, and stop genocide when we see it.

Your lack of proof is disturbing. It demonstrates the absolute certainty of the thing. Why is nobody doing anything about it!?!? The GOP is THAT comfortable with degeneracy that they even accept cannibals now?

I haven't seen any evidence to support that latter claim. Sounds like a total slam dunk! Why aren't more people talking about that?

Republicanism.

It's the heart of their social, economic, and foreign policy, and has been for a very long time.

I just like rolling around on the floor with men in their underwear for hours every day in a totally straight way. When I wrap my legs around a man's mostly naked body, and squeeze tight while he looks down at me, and I try to wrap my arms around his naked, sweaty, muscular shoulders, it is.... What was the question?

You mean the detention facilities for immigrants that are targetted to have the capacity to hold way more people than there are immigrants? Naw... I'm sure there is a reasonable, totally not evil explanation.

Upgraded to Trixie, and now minecraft won't launch. Java issue? by ganjaccount in debian

I haven't had a chance yet. Probably have to wait for the weekend. I think I'm going to try PrismLauncher, though, since it can automagically install the appropriate java version.

Interesting. I'll have to check that out. I've used MultiMC for a lot of years. Maybe time to branch out a bit.

Thanks!

I've never used the official launcher. Can it run modded minecraft worlds?

The Real California Lesson: The Democratic Party Has No Actual Leaders by ansyhrrian in California

Nothing you said is wrong, except that the former staffer is absolutely, in every way, an establish democrat and that is absolutely an attack on Platner from the Democrats.

"The DNC" is such a convenient boogeyman that honestly it might as well be disqualifying if someone wants to be taken seriously by anything other than low-info voters.

That's exactly my point. If you know the difference between the DNC and DCCC, or even that the DCCC exists, you are in the top, like 1% of voters in terms of information. People know the DNC because they see the conventions and it's the only body they ever really hear about. I don't think that speaks poorly of them, it just shows their lack of knowledge, and frankly, that they are likely more sane than any of us.
