The Vergecast’s Brendan Carr is a Dummy segment from March 20th has, IMHO, the best listener-created jingle to date. I think the creator’s name is Julia.

Well done. I’ll be singing it for days.

Google Sucks Shit: According to The Verge, Google search is now replacing headlines—those things we painstakingly craft—with inaccurate, AI generated AI slop, often changing the meaning entirely in what the company calls a "small and narrow experiment."

It changed a Verge headline from "I used the ‘cheat on everything’ AI tool and it didn’t help me cheat on anything” to “‘Cheat on everything’ AI tool.” This is bad. Google search was the internet. It's a fucking verb.

Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines

Google is beginning to replace news headlines in its search results with ones that are AI-generated. After AI clickbait nonsense in its Google Discover news feed, it’s starting to mess with headlines in the “10 blue links” too.

Is it worth it paying for #TheVerge website?
Do you consider its a site worth supporting?

The usual #paywall technique annoys me but I do like some of their content, and its now 50% off...

I absolutely love how #TheVerge has titled one of their video’s chapters on an updated #Samsung Galaxy AI feature as “slop generator”. 👍 (Oh, and that privacy display feature is actually cool.)

I review laptops for The Verge, ask me anything

I’ll be answering subscriber questions today at 11AM PT / 2PM ET. Come geek out with me about laptops, photography, the great state of New Jersey, or other nerdy things.

I guess this gives me plenty of time to work through my gaming backlog; no hurry/ability to invest in a new console or pc. Silver linings.
