Google teases AI Mode for search, giving Gemini total control over your results

'Giving Gemini total control over your results'

No wonder my search results have turned to such garbage.

When it comes to AI ROI, IT decision-makers not convinced

It's the dogfood

Huh, so it turns out to be extremely expensive to switch systems that AI is supposedly able to do better (or not better). No matter how many trillions you dump into the bowl, the dogs won't eat the dogfood. Who'da thought.

Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers

Linux maintainers are bad actors on the global stage?

"There have to be consequences for bad-actors on the global-stage."

Yeah sure. Wake me when any "bad actors on the global stage" are punished for things such as the unprovoked invasion of Vietnam, Iraq, etc. Funny how distorted things become when somebody decides they get to be the arbiter of who's a "bad actor on the global stage" and who isn't.

Payoff from AI projects is 'dismal', biz leaders complain

A change of terms in how to mesure efficiency

AI is the first technology the bosses bought for us that doesn't come with any instructions, just a slip of paper that says "figure out how you can use me to make you more productive." Now all the sudden I got two jobs, all of my regular paid work, and now this new one to figure out how to use AI to make my job more productive. How come I'm so much more busy now, and still haven't been able to come up with a solid and fool proof plan to make myself more productive using AI? Someone tell my boss somebody else is getting the efficiency gains, and also please tell my wife this doesn't mean there will be more bacon? And one more thing, who's getting screwed here, my boss, me, or my wife?
