I swear I’m not just trying to start an argument, but I don’t see the disagreement here. You’re saying people here are too negative, but people aren’t shitting on the idea of LLMs, but the over promising of what they can do. You’re tired of explaining that it’s not true AI, but the confusion of caused by Google calling it “AI Overviews.”

You say it’s nothing new and that we’ve always had to vet sources when Google sends us somewhere, which is true, but the Overviews aren’t sending people anywhere, they’re summarizing and trying to give you an answer. They do link to sources for now, but the end goal is clearly that we trust the summary without following the links.

People who are listening to and parsing his comments are not the same people who will be blindly consuming these “AI Overviews.” It’s a problem.

But it’s not an isolated R&D project. They’re rolling it out in general search. If I have a promising new braking technology, but which still only works well 48% of the time, I’d keep working on it but not put it in production vehicles.

I was just listening to a YouTube playlist of mine that goes back at least 10 years and was disappointed how much of it was deleted. And not only that, but in many cases I couldn’t even tell what the videos were.

Literally just today, I picked one music video that just seemed to be gone from youtube and the internet, but thankfully was able to find a Wayback machine link to the artists website in 2008 with a .mov download link.

Or how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?

Borderlands definitely. I spend an hour looking through weapon inventory trying to remember why some are better than others, or what I like about them. Then I give up and shelve it again.

Yeah, that’s how I usually do it, just leaving it muted. I’d expect to continue to enter a destination. The ETA would update if I take a wrong turn, choose another route or get caught in traffic. Basically it should work exactly as it currently does, I just don’t want to have the map on the screen sometimes.

Would also love to have just an ETA without directions. I usually don’t need them commuting or going about town, but I keep them up anyway to keep track of time. Would love just an ETA widget.

Don’t know, but he definitely has a Samsung phone. After all, he is the OneUI.

They weren’t just tracking what you bought. They wanted to track what you looked at and for how long, to learn what packaging worked best.

Once more games are pixel streamed, that’s probably possible

People will try taking it.

So was Betamax
