    CBC> when Google's AI Overview mistakenly said it was shutting down

    JFC, CBC - Google "AI" didn't "mistakenly" state the business was closing. It *incorrectly* said it was closing.

    There's a difference, and CBC is carrying the "AI" grifters' water by printing it this way. The "AI"/LLM companies are responsible for what their LLMs produce, and they should be *liable* for it, too.

    'Peter #Thiel, precogs and ‘non-human #corporations’ – welcome to the wild world of #AI #Argentina

    '#President #Milei’s plans to turn my country into an anarcho-capitalist #tech paradise makes him just the latest character in the nation’s long history of chancers and #dictators, writes Uki #Goñi
    Jul 15, 2026

    'South America has long been a honey-trap for world-class charlatans with out-of-the-box ideas to remould society. Elisabeth #Nietzsche ...New Germany in the rainforests of #Paraguay in 1887 ... In 1860 ... some Mapuche leaders accepted Orélie-Antoine de Tounens from Périgueux as Antoine I, King of #Patagonia.'

    '... 4 June 2026, when a former tantric sex coach who has become the world's first elected anarcho-capitalist president announced from the pages of the Financial Times that he would be transforming Argentina, the planet's eighth largest country, into a #tax #haven for "non-human corporations" fully owned by AI entities.

    'Perhaps emboldened by #technobillionaire Peter Thiel setting up residence in Buenos Aires shortly before, President Javier Milei's opinion column – “Argentina invites AI to free itself” – outlined a project utopian enough to rival that of any 19th-century adventurer.

    'Argentina, Milei said, will become the first nation to create "entities operated by AI agents or robots ... #human #shareholders may participate, but are not required". Milei went even further, proposing that such AI-owned corporations would be protected by safeguards from #legal action. "Limited #liability is not a luxury for such entities; it is a precondition for their existence," Milei wrote.

    '... Israeli author Yuval Noah Harari pointed out that [it] could be a first step towards ... legal AI #personhood that could be deployed as protective buffers by the world's tech barons.

    '...Patagonia is ideal for #data centres – far from complaining residents, near fresh Andean #glacier #water and with abundant #energy from #shale #gas on tap ...'

    Trump’s Board of Peace plans to grant itself sweeping immunity, documents show

    "Draft resolution seeks to shield board members and security forces from potential prosecution for work in Gaza"

    "The UN-sanctioned Board of Peace announced by Donald Trump earlier this year to rule Gaza is planning a sweeping grant of legal immunity for itself, according to a draft of the resolution obtained by the Guardian. The draft language would also let the organization obtain public property in Gaza “free of charge”."

  18. Climate litigation - Trapped by floods and fearing death in the heat: the Australians taking legal action over the climate crisis

    "The complaint is exploratory. It argues the government is violating the claimants’ human rights by continuing to support coal and gas developments that fuel climate extremes."

    "... A “glaring inconsistency” in climate policy: that the country is taking steps to cut domestic emissions as it expands support for fossil fuel exports. The stories of these claimants show climate change is not an abstract future threat... Australia has a “huge amount of liability and exposure” given the scale of its fossil fuel exports." >>

  20. Whoa! This could become a BIG deal .....

    German court ruled Google Is liable for false statements generated by AI overviews presented in AI powered search results.

    The ruling indicates that when an AI generates new statements that do not appear directly in its original sources, the company that designs, trains, operates, and manages the system must assume legal liability for any damages caused by those statements.

    Further the Court held, correcting misinformation is not the responsibility of third parties. Google is the only entity with the ability to modify the technology underpinning its AI-generated summaries and, therefore, “must be held accountable.”

  30. #ToddBlanche’s announcement that he plans to kill the anti-weaponization #SlushFund but keep in place a deal that shields #Trump from past #tax #liability [#fraud] is likely to break the #Senate impasse over passage of an #immigration bill.

    But the tax agreement—which could save Trump >$100 million, per a NYT analysis—could be highly damaging for #Republicans forced to defend that they supported a deal that enriches a billionaire with #TaxpayersMoney.
