duringmath··on Yale professor who studies fascism fleeing US to work in Canada
1. You'd think he would want to study it up close.

2. If anything it's "fascism lite" and it's only for 4 years.

3. I'm not sure that forcing some belt tightening on a bloated academia is the worst thing in the world.

Ideally the feds would stay out of it and let the market do its thing.
duringmath··on DOJ proposal would require Google to divest from AI partnerships with Anthropic
We can hope, his DOJ might amend their demands or the judges he appoints will overturn it on appeal if needed.
duringmath··on DOJ proposal would require Google to divest from AI partnerships with Anthropic
Microsoft doesn't want Google to control the codebase Edge is based on and doesn't want anyone to counter the MSFT + OpenAI partnership, and the DOJ is trying to hand them their wishes. Hopefully the judge rejects this overreach and rules on lawsuit scope.

duringmath··on Google Search Is Now a Giant Hallucination
More consequential queries probably have better safeguards, this hullabaloo is about long tail nonsense that doesn't matter, they're kinks to be ironed out.
duringmath··on Google Search Is Now a Giant Hallucination
Despite some evidence to the contrary I believe most people aren't that stupid and the "average person" isn't actually typing in these queries, these are marginal cases played out for meme value.
duringmath··on Google Search Is Now a Giant Hallucination
It's not even hallucinating it's just correctly summarizing the wrong thing.

Also we're only talking about a handful of examples out of billions of queries, that doesn't stop the usual media hyperventilating though.

duringmath··on Google I/O Thoughts?
