“When I tell you what a word means,” Google Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” My apologies to the great Lewis Carroll for butchering his fine words to fit my theme, but that’s entirely the point of this column […]
Academic Jonathan Haidt was on Joe Rogan’s show yesterday. The discussion started with some talk about Haidt’s new book and his arguments about the ways in which smart phones and social media are contributing to the mental health crisis among teens. (Haidt wrote a piece for the Atlantic last week which I discussed here.) Later […]
PARIS (AP) — France’s competition watchdog hit Google on Wednesday with another big fine tied to a long-running dispute over payments to French publishers for their news.

On The Joe Rogan Experience podcast released Tuesday, the host spoke with Ray Kurzweil, a “scientist, futurist, and Principal Researcher and AI Visionary at Google,” according to the episode’s description.

As with Google Gemini, some patient internet sleuths have poked around to […]

The bias is so bad, so obvious, and so embarrassing for Google that they have actually throttled Gemini from generating images of people until they can make the program at least LOOK less biased. If you aren’t familiar with […]
Google has suspended the image-generating feature of its Gemini artificial intelligence chatbot after social media was filled with examples in which diversity replaced reality.
