It's real bold of google to double down on these bad faith changes while also trying to get me invested in their AI offerings at the same time.

the last few years focused on short term conversion metrics for bing and edge have already done their damage, its going to be an uphill battle for them

its pretty much peaked at this point. works with every game i've ever tried, new and old titles.

I don’t know. I tried NFS Undercover on my gtx 1650 laptop with highest settings - it couldn’t do it, lags to the point of totally unplayable. On windows it works perfectly fine. Why is that? Can somebody explain?

Unless it requires a kernel level anti cheat. I don't play those games but if someone does, it's a thing they should know.

Kernel-level anti-cheat is egregious. It's a good thing that it doesn't actually run on Linux. Nobody should be installing that garbage on their computers.

helldivers 2 has one and it still works. afaik the anti cheat developer has to explicitly disallow linux users, and at that point its not really a linux issue anymore (but still good to know)

There's a naive statement to make.

I loved reader. It was the tipping point for me that made me view every new google product with pessimism and scepticism. It's also amplified by the fact that several products I got invested in (google, youtube, google talk, etc) became significantly worse.

You would think all it really needs adjustable content moderation levels like search engines do with safe search. Leave it on the highest safety level and allow the user to adjust it accordingly.

But I'm guessing not everybody sees "AI generated text" the same way as accidentally returning porn, hate speech or something in a list of search results. Something I suppose feels more personal or deliberate about it.

The problem is liability. Unlike search engines, this is untested area (legally). A search engine presents content others created, as do social media companies, youtube,etc... while ChatGPT does use user generated content as input, it's output is heavily analyzed and processed so you can't really say it is serving you content but more like creating content based on some information it knows. So, in effect, it is OpenAI that is liable for what ChatGPT says.

Everyone is saying hate speech , so, a racially offensive remark by ChatGPT can mean civil suits for defamation, emotional damage,etc... even with user adjustable filters.

But I think it is even more serious if it told people how to commit a serious crime for example. Wouldn't OpenAI be a co-conspirator?

Yeah - although the liability isn't really legal (that's yet to be properly explored and would probably be disclaimered), but social-reputational.

The Anarchist's Cookbook is legal in US.

Would it be accused of treason if it provided technical details to enemies on how to make {secret military tech}?

It's funny because they're the underdog in search still but yet these are the tactics they're already pulling out of their hat, and like that all good faith is gone

its not even king of gaming anymore, proton has taken care of that

i mean even if they released it today, i wouldn't use it because i'd automatically assume it'd get killed in 3 years

I don't think he wants to type or search for racist words, he just wants search engines to actually show accurate relevant search results again. The fact their algorithm probably identified a famous actor as worth completely erasing from search results should worry you, its such a big and obvious mistake, think about all the small and non-obvious mistakes it's probably making right now.
