Who wants some good news? Last week I spoke to a middle school class about cybersecurity as a career, and AI came up. I asked if they had tried to use LLMs to do their schoolwork—they all had. But every student in the class said it didn't work. Why? "ChatGPT is too stupid." Kids are alright.

@mttaggart also interesting is that the kids were smart enough to recognize how stupid it was. Many adults are not.

  ONE QUIBBLE and this is not semantics: the "new owners" of the island are the indigenous people of those islands; many of them forcefully repatriated by the Brits. they are not new, nor owners. they are the peoples for whom those islands are their ancestral homeland. @mttaggart the funniest possible result is browser vendors implement a work-around and put IANA in the same dustbin as the W3C

@mttaggart Honestly I don’t trust Google to run anything anymore, including even Gmail.

Google is prohibited from disincentivizing Apple from getting into the search game. That might seem weird, but many times during the case, Apple reps made clear that the Google deal was a set of handcuffs in this regard. With the arrival of Apple Intelligence, this opens the door to a new Apple search product.
Google can't acquire search competitors without prior consent from DoJ and Plaintiff States. So now's the time to innovate in the ad space, I guess?
Now, Android stuff.
Holy crap. So basically they need to allow you to remove Google search from Android. Indeed, later on in Section V, it is enumerated that no Google Search product or AI product can be "mandatory" in Android.
The strictures are worth reading in full. And if Google doesn't like it, Justice allows them to choose to divest of Android instead of complying!
