people on here are relatively in tune with the ongoing AI push, but imagine how many relatively offline people are seeing Google suggest they bake glue into their pizza and wondering what the fuck is going on

The myth of the abusive male genius needs to die. There are very few whose contributions to society are really worth being conflicted over in contrast to the abuse they unleashed. I promise you there was a woman or non-binary person or even a decent man around whose art was just as good

This really works; delete the gobbledegook after your search term (in my e.g. this is q=recipe+for+bread) and add &udm=14 and all the top tips, AI summaries, 'also searched for' and video (1st image) vanishes. You just get actual search results (2nd image).

This is so important and valuable. A way to get "Google search without the crap." Notably AI crap, which destroys G-search utility. Intro'd here: tedium.co/2024/05/17/g... In practice: After a Google search, click on "Web." You'll get the de-crapped results.

How I Made Google’s “Web” View My Default Searchtedium.co Forget AI. Google just created a version of its search engine free of the extra junk it has added over the past decade-plus. You just need one URL parameter.

I don't think you can understand Gen X without watching "War Games" or similar. We talk about the world ending, but there were ~70,000 nukes in 1985. As Sagan put it, it was "like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five."

patriot front is marching unopposed in West Virginia right now no police in sight. People really need to be asking why neo-Nazis are allowed to march with impunity while peaceful students protesting against genocide are being beaten, mercilessly and treated like a invading army.

Welp… this doesn’t bode well

I used to listen to NPR every single day, and whenever I’ve tried to tune in even for a little bit now? It’s all just end stage capitalism hyper liberal nonsense refusing to actually report on reality because it would make the current ruling class look bad.

God it is so funny that he is legally required to sit there as they bring up a parade of people - picked at random! - and 75% of them have called him a "car seat leather ass face looking mother fucker"

Today in court, Trump had to hear and see memes mocking him as his defense sought to have jurors dismissed for past social media posts. He did not appear to enjoy it.

So the co-creator of Space Ghost and one of the guys who basically helped invent Adult Swim today works as a delivery driver for Amazon. I'm referring to Andy Merrill (voice of Brak, who put together the SG pilot in a storage closet at Turner) who apparently got extremely screwed in the deal.

This is my all time favorite piece of short fiction and I really encourage taking the brief moment it takes to read it. It so beautifully captures time, place, and feeling

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

There's this wild Lovecraftian horror to a grown adult talking about how great it'll be when AI can make full-length movies and books based on a few prompts, because you suddenly realize they've only ever seen shadows dancing on the cave wall for their whole life. Nothing has meant anything to them.

A child was beaten in a bathroom and then the school refused to get them medical attention due to the child's gender identity. A state institution refused aid to A CHILD. We should all be exceedingly, unrelentingly furious.

Matthew Shepard was murdered 25 years ago, and there was news coverage and real outrage. Now 16 year old Nex Benedict was beaten in a bathroom by 3 older girls in a high school hate crime that killed them, and there's fucking crickets in the media. Murdered. In. School.

the A/I bros dream of a "deeply personalised content" is really telling, cause it only cares about what me-as-a-customer wants they don't see art as sharing and discovering human experiences, it's all about being fed a content without leaving the comfort of your tiny self
