    Can we add companies and law enforcement agencies that use facial recognition or LPDR that lead to the arrest and long term incarceration of people who are literally in a different state at the time of the crime? I heard of 3 so far who have lost homes, jobs, child custody, etc. These companies should literally pay restitution and to assist the individuals rebuild their lives.

    Google’s own argument would also “significantly diminish” the benefit of the feature, the court noted, if the overview were “generally recognized as unreliable.”

    That’s an important detail, and I’m glad the court caught it up — Google tries to eat the cake and have it too.

    The model was tweaked to vomit certainty. Its output is in a page you’re hitting as you’re looking for answers, and this implies the output contains an accurate answer. Everything screams “trust me” = “be gullible” from a distance. Except of course when the model gets something wrong, then it’s your fault for being gullible/trusting.

    And this is not just Google, mind you. Every single corporation behind large “language” models does the same shit: “believe me”, then “lol you stupid you believe me lmao haha”.

    Reminder: fooling suckers is still fooling people.

      Chill bro, it’s For Entertainment Purposes Only

      but also…

      we’ve created the world’s most powerful disruptive technology ever known and it can out-think humans

      kinda reminds me of the nonsense argument that immigrants are simultaneously extremely lazy but they’re also somehow stealing everyone’s jobs.

    Great, liability is the only way to get them to care. I wonder how long it will take Google to threaten with pulling out of the EU.

      Ah yes, my favourite threat.

      I can imagine the infants crying, women wailing in the street, and much gnashing of teeth.
