Tracheal terminal cells of Drosophila are immune privileged to maintain their Foxo-dependent structural plasticity

Terminal tracheal cells in Drosophila evade innate immune activation, revealing a fundamental trade-off in which suppression of canonical immune signaling preserves Foxo-dependent plasticity and sustains respiratory function.

He had helped develop the #Trump team’s legal arguments behind the successful effort to get the Mar-a-Lago #ClassifiedDocuments indictment thrown out, as well as the arguments behind the presidential #immunity case that prevailed at #SCOTUS. He had embraced the most contentious elements of Trump’s agenda, but was quickly coming up against the limit of what the #Constitution, in his reading, could be made to bear.

Hey, can I get some legal experts in here to tell me I’m wrong about what I think this ruling means? Also, how does international case precedence work?

A #German court has ruled that Google is directly liable for what its #AI #search overviews say. Previous case law shielding search engine operators from liability doesn't apply to AI overviews.

That’s freaking massive. Google’s AI responses are wrong almost 10% of the time, make up sources, and infer facts not in evidence, and cause real harm. Germany says publisher immunity does not convey when the company product, the ai, is stating things as fact.

Losing publisher #immunity is a really, really big deal. Especially if we can get a similar ruling in the US, and if this ruling flows into EU precedent.(I don’t know how any of that works)

In any case, go German law writers.

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators don't apply to AI overviews. In this case, Google's AI had falsely linked two publishers to fraud and made claims that didn't appear in any of the linked sources. The ruling could set a precedent for AI-generated content liability worldwide.
