  1. RE: dmv.community/@jcrabapple/1171

    From the Reuters article (link in quoted text) which looks like a thorough piece of investigative reporting: “Some investors were questioning what Meta had to show for its gargantuan spending on AI.”
    Reading the layoff plans & what Zuck (I guess) & any other decision/makers(?) in Meta thought their agentic-AI could actually deliver w/o staff… leads me to wonder what addled their… Brains…? Abilities? Intelligence?
    Is this just another group-think case study for MBA hopefuls?

  3. Now when I use DuckDuckGo to search the internet for casual information I get a special box of info called “Assist”. At the bottom of the box: “Auto-generated based on listed sources. May contain inaccuracies.”

    What the? May contain inaccuracies? Why do it then? Just to waste my time?

    What is this brave new world of possibly inaccurate information & what do I do about it?

    Edit: Thanks to Mark C @markc568 for the solution: “Clivk the gear and you can turn it off for all searches”. It worked! Mark C is my hero!

    “There are literally no consequences for this administration. They’ve proven they can get away with anything and there is nobody who can stand in their way.

    Only a military coup or massive uprising of the population can end this now.”

    Are there any other alternatives? 😐
