  • Well, in this example, the information provided by the AI was simply wrong. If it had done the traditional search method of pointing to the organization's website where they had the hours listed, it would have worked fine.

    This idea that "we're all entitled to our opinion" is nonsense. That's for when you're a child and the topic is what flavor Jelly Bean you like. It's not for like policy or things that matter. You can't just "it's my opinion" your way through "this algorithm is O(n^2) but I like it better than O(n) so I'm going to use it for my big website". Or more on topic, you can't use it for "these results are wrong but I like them better"

  • Clearest warning? Of what? New York City is one of the few cities in the US I'd want to live in. Stephen Miller is a delusional nazi shit. He should be screaming on a street corner somewhere, not working in government.

  • If a feature is useful people will use it, be it AI or not AI.

    People will also use it if it's not useful, if it's the default.

    A friend of mine did a search the other day to find the hour of something, and google's AI lied to her. Top of the page, just completely wrong.

    Luckily I said, "That doesn't sound right" and checked the official site, where we found the truth.

    Google is definitely forcing this out, even when it's inferior to other products. Hell, it's inferior to their own, existing product.

    But people will keep using AI, because it's there, and it's right most of the time.

    Google sucks. They should be broken up, and their leadership barred from working in tech. We could have had a better future. Instead we have this hallucinatory hellhole.

  • Dislike:

    • poor search engine results
    • relatively small

    I want it to get to a level where you find the good stuff reddit used to have. Like niche hobbies, detailed analysis, etc.

    I'm doing my part, I guess

  • Is that the thing that colors parts of the UI based on your background? Because I despise that.

    I don't want things to change color. I want the UI to be predictable and stable, so I can use it without distraction.

  • Possessive is normally done with an apostrophe. The dog's toy. The apartment's lobby.

    But when possessive goes on the pronoun "it"? No apostrophe.

    Look out for the monster. Its fangs are sharp.

    If you put an apostrophe, that's for "it is".

    This bothers me slightly. There's history illinonating why it happened, but I don't like it.

  • Conservative means "There must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and out-groups for the law to bind but not protect." That's it. They are childish assholes that only care about power for their group, and keeping other people out of power. They are the worst sort of people.

  • Everyone in the trump administration should be removed from power and barred from ever holding office or working in government. They're the worst people.

    Hell, while I'm waving my magic wand, everyone who ever has voted or would voted for a republican of their own free will is now barred from voting, holding office, or discussing politics. In six months we'd solve the climate crisis.

  • This feels like a setup for a comic like

    Villain: casts this spell. "You fools! You're now too gay to defeat me! Cower before my mighty hetero--"

    Gay fighter stabs villain

    Double gay ranger shoots him with an arrow.

    Pause for a beat

    Party: "So pride is this weekend you want to go to the beach?"

    Like, the spell had no impact on their combat prowess and the bigot thought it would.

    I got laid off a while ago so I'm trying to make my dollars go farther. When I had a well paying job, I'd also buy more stuff, but nothing too crazy. I miss hummus the most, I think. I never buy soda.

    The other day I was with someone and we decided to order food like old times, and it was like $40 for two of us. I was like, fuck, that's a third of my whole month's budget right there. But I don't want to live like a monk all the time.
