On the other hand, they don't want AI "fact checking" them either. They want their lies to be believed without AI checking up on them.

They think they are address 'slop' with this bill. In fact, I'd trust AI with my life before I'd trust the likes of some of these so called "News" outlets.

Because we need to legitimize copyright theft. Nothing does that better than archive.org. Love it - best place on the internet to steal from your competitors. And now - baked into wordpress!

We just had the story on here a week-10 days ago about Anthropic paying millions to scan books to be a 'foundation in truth' from a non-fiction human source. Meanwhile, Google is setting on 40 MILLLION scanned books!? None of the other LLMs can touch that foundational lead. The only place google was behind was in public facing tech.

Strangely, I now have Tinnitus - it sounds just like the evil hiss of a cassette tape. It really does seem like life is not without a sense of humor.

You mean like Google Flights? Google plays with a few apps, but they don't play with the serps willy-nilly.

Getting tired of every time the gorilla sets where it wants too, we decide it is about the thing that was flattened and not about the gorilla.

No doubt - full on Google is the goal.
