  1. So, Canadian "bad boy" fiddler Ashley MacIsaac has done as he said he would and sued Google, over its "AI" search summary labelling him a sex offender. It apparently drew that fact from news coverage of a different person of the same name. A suit for defamation seems fair to me.

    I think that @lauren is right, and that lawsuits like this, and large settlements or jury awards that go along with them, are the only thing that will even possibly change Google's trajectory on including these garbage LLM-invented search summary answers. They don't listen to criticism, they don't listen to complaints from their victims, they don't address ethical issues - but shareholders ultimately have the power to hold them, and the C-suite executives making the decisions, to account for the bushels of money going out the door in response to their BS-machine's workings.

    I'm not generally a big fan of "lawsuit as lottery ticket", but with the LLM snake-oil salesmen (of all companies), I think it's the best approach possible in the circumstances, at least without strong European-style regulation (which isn't going to happen in North America any time soon).

  22. I'm pissed off at the Progress (sic) Software, the new owners of #Fiddler. They took #FiddlerCap down. You have to buy their huge "Fiddler Everywhere Reporter" suite. Does anyone know of a good replacement for FiddlerCap?

  23. A blog post by Bob Cohen, American fiddler long resident in #Budapest, about fellow #fiddler Zoe Aqua's latest tour in the #synagogues of #Transylvania

    I managed to visit a few of those on my trip to Romania almost a decade ago, though I think the only one that was open to see the interior was the one in #Sibiu, where an attendant tried her best to point out stuff to me and my dad in German

  26. In the Irish folktale of The Wonderful Tune, Maurice Connor's fiddle playing was so sublime that it caught the attention of a woman from the sea. Upon finding the music's source, she immediately proposed marriage to the fiddler, offering to make him King of Fish. #WyrdWednesday
