Writing in a jokey tone to your wife is in fact one of the main benefits of having a wife. Once again, why are you outsourcing the fun part of existence to the machine.

The recent court documents showed that Google's internal testing demonstrated that significantly worse search results would not harm their business operations. This apparent immunity to quality concerns stems from the company's dominant market position, which the recent federal court ruling addressed. "Since Google doesn't have any real competition, it can make the best information hard to find, forcing users to stay on Google for longer and interact with more ads," Papadimitriou said. "This is dangerous for consumers, most of whom think the best results appear first." The strategy appears to be working from a business perspective. The study suggests that poor organic search results actually benefit Google's bottom line in two ways: they make paid advertisements more valuable to users seeking accurate information, and they force users to refine their searches multiple times, exposing them to more advertising in the process.

For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

It’s getting dumber.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Actually, this is really interesting. Would like to discuss how to do enterprise architecture in an agile organization

I'm in a meeting with people discussing enterprise architecture. Send help!

A two part coming. On the top panel, a gray caricature of a person is labelled "Open AI" and is smiling while reaching for a yellow balloon labelled "Intellectual property theft". In the bottom panel, the same scene is presented but zoomed out slightly; this time, the person is looking backwards nervously at a pink monster also labelled "intellectual property theft"

OpenAI says it has evidence China’s DeepSeek used its model to train competitor White House AI tsar David Sacks raises possibility of alleged intellectual property theft

OpenAI says it has found evidence that Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek used the US company’s proprietary models to train its own open-source competitor, as concerns grow over a potential breach of intellectual property. The San-Francisco-based ChatGPT maker told the Financial Times it had seen some evidence of ‘distillation’, a technique used by developers to obtain better performance on smaller models by using outputs from larger, more capable models. This allows them to achieve similar results on specific tasks at a much lower cost. OpenAI declined to comment further on details of its evidence. Its terms of service state users cannot “copy” any of its services or “use output to develop models that compete with OpenAI”.

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks.

DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.

This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.

That review is "dead," person familiar says.

It's remarkable how good TikTok is at currying favor with an authoritarian leader. It's almost like they have practice.

The Scottish Sunday Herald TV guide featured this preview of the Trump inauguration.

It’s fucking brilliant.

I want to share my experience today with Google support, trying to get Gemini (their AI/plagiarism machine) turned off in my Google workspace account. That account is where I personally do all my work communication—I am an editor, and most of my work contracts explicitly ban any use of Generative AI

One thing i miss in Bluesky search, which I used all the time in twitter, is the ability to limit search to accounts I follow. Have I missed something?

@jedi.be Hi Patrick, just wondering how much you have been thinkering with AI platforms in your AI-journey? I'm looking for someone to play ball with

oh my god finally something that can handle reminders and to-dos, I've been waiting decades for something that can handle reminders and to-dos

Whats the #devopsdays equivalent but for enterprise architecture? I want to learn and discuss architecture with people smarter than me :)
