Aahahaahah go fuck yourself google
Offering AI-powered research is "above all an expression of Google's business activities" and "at most a secondary expression of an interest in being able to freely express one's opinion and beliefs."

On one hand this is about fighting for having a choice of shit sandwich (namely, a choice of #genai provider, which should all burn in a fire) 😵💫, on the other hand #Apple fanboys are clutching their pearls 😅 , and on the yet other bestest hand #google #Gemini isn't getting more usage 🎉
This is like the weirdest confused ladyboner of schadenfreuden 😄
@pluralistic:
“Admitting machines to the "personhood" club is a *tactical* mistake, on par with the mistake we made when we admitted *corporations* to the personhood club. We should absolutely consider expanding personhood to incorporate living things, including animals and ecosystems, but at the same time, we *must* purge these dead, artificial constructs from the club.
“[…] if we thought that some activity was unique to humans, or to living beings, and we manage to get a machine to replicate that activity, we should revise our view of the activity – not our view of the machine.”

'A postgrowth future isn’t anti-technology, anti-digital or anti-progress. It asks us to take seriously the scientific evidence that seven of nine planetary boundaries have been overshot, and to recognise that this will have catastrophic societal impacts if radical action isn’t taken.
Whereas business-as-usual approaches hope technological solutions will allow globalised capitalism to endure while little meaningfully changes, a postgrowth digital future demands changing social and technological relationships to make people’s lives fairer, more enjoyable, more equitable and more sustainable.'
