Große Online-Plattformen haben sich zu schädlichen Machtzentralen im Netz entwickelt, monieren Medienwissenschaftler. Sie müssten für Inhalte Dritter haften.

Billions spent on AI, and this is the sort of garbage we get! #Google
Pretty soon, #Google will probably be using their mediocre AI to tell Waymo robotaxi passengers where Google thinks they SHOULD go, irrespective of where they WANT to go.

I find the evolution of #google quite amazing. They went from ‘Do no evil’ to ‘Only do evil’. They have become the epitome of everything bad about American tech causing the creation of unique language just to describe how awful it can get.
So Google and Facebook's "Jedi Blue" collusion contract is finally public, and they actually explicitly included a termination clause for "the law found out about the contract".
When you create a contract that you explicitly know is illegal and has to have such a clause, everyone involved needs to go to prison. #Google #Facebook #JediBlue #Antitrust

It's both notable and deeply depressing how many nontechnical people I know who have unprompted told me how much they despise #Google #AI Overviews, which they inevitably describe as usually inaccurate and worthless, at which point they usually add how Google Search quality has declined enormously (in their own words, of course).
Then they sometimes say something like, "Hey Lauren, don't you know people at Google that you could tell about how bad this is getting?"
At which point I usually bite my tongue, which is increasingly feeling like a pincushion as a result.
Don't believe the happy face metrics that Google claims -- out in the real world this is a disaster.
Klawiatura #Google w ostatnim roku bardzo się pogorszyła, ale to już przesada: poprawia mi "czyściłem" na "czyściłam".
This is something I ran into on BlueSky, and it deserves wider circulation:
