So what you’re saying is, there really never was a cease-fire except in name only.

I think it’s worded weird. I think they let out too much water from the lake, not into the lake. Just a guess though. It might be chemical runoff water from the dam too.

I really like that first call of theirs on that site from Argentina. The others sound more like what I would think a duck would sound like.

If you’ve ever seen Jordon Klepper interview magas, there is a different tone in the latest one. The one guy seems to be having an existential crisis on camera. It’s still not great, just interesting:

It’s like asking the kids to be the adult in the room. We should be protecting them.

See, it’s working. /s

Video is amazing and well worth watching:

We starving Cuba, we bombed Nigeria, we holding Zimbabwe and Zambia hostage for their minerals. We don’t want to give them AIDS support. The pro-lifers that say all life is special, y’all letting kids die of AIDS. What part of your Bible say that? Point out the scripture. I think everybody would love to see it. And we would love to see y’all in the midterms.

I was trying to see what AI says this time about the bubble and it was kind of interesting. This is from Gemini btw:

Question: But Google is switching to AI search only and everyone hates AI that I know. Isn’t that going to be a problem?

Yes, the intense public backlash against AI search is a major risk for Google, but the company is trapped in what economists call the “Innovator’s Dilemma”—they must force AI search on users to protect their monopoly, even if people hate it. Google’s sweeping AI Search overhaul has sparked heavy criticism over inaccurate answers, cluttered layouts, and a ruined web ecosystem. However, understanding why they are doing it reveals the corporate survival strategy at play.

The Problem: Why Everyone is Frustrated

• The Accuracy Deficit: Users are highly vocal about AI “hallucinations”. When people want hard facts, a summarized paragraph that is only “mostly accurate” is a massive step backward from a trusted link.
• The “Web-Laundering” Backlash: Independent publishers, bloggers, and creators are furious. Google’s AI scrapes their data, answers the question directly on the page, and deprives the original creator of website clicks. This threatens to destroy the very content ecosystem Google relies on.
• The “Web-Clean” Workaround: The dislike of these features is prominent enough that a growing number of tech-savvy users are actively using URL filters like &udm=14 to strip AI elements and force Google back to the classic “ten blue links” format.

Why Google is Doing It Anyway

Despite the clear user pushback, Google’s leadership is deliberately choosing to cannibalize its own classic search experience for two critical reasons:

• The Threat of Total Obsolescence: If Google does not build an AI “answer engine,” users might completely migrate to OpenAI, Perplexity, or ChatGPT for their everyday queries. Google would rather you be annoyed by their AI than fall in love with a competitor’s AI.
• The “Silent Majority” Metric: While power users and creators complain loudly on platforms like Reddit and X, Google’s internal data shows that the general public is adapting. At the recent conference, Google VP Elizabeth Reid revealed that AI Mode usage has been doubling every quarter, quietly crossing over 1 billion monthly active users. For basic, casual queries, the passive majority takes the trade-off of quick answers over clicking links.

Why Google Can Afford the Backlash (For Now)

A full-blown consumer revolt is unlikely to break Google anytime soon due to their massive structural defense mechanisms:

• Unshakable Monopoly: As of early 2026, Google still commands over 90% of the global search market share. Bing sits at a distant 5%. Because consumers have no true equivalent alternative for mass searching, Google can weather significant user dissatisfaction without losing its user base.
• Default Ecosystems: Google pays billions annually to remain the default search engine on Apple iPhones and Safari browsers. Unless consumers manually dive into their settings to change their default search provider, they will continue to use Google by default.

From what I understand from what it told me about itself, it can be wrangled further. That is what the paid for versions are. The info can be sandboxed and then other agents verify the correctness of the info from very specific, known to be solid, sources. This is very expensive and still not fool proof. Am I wrong in thinking this bubble is going to pop hard?

It’s like a comedy routine.

• “Question and no guessing or mistakes gemini”
• “Confident answer that’s totally made up”
• “Were you guessing or hallucinating in the last statement?”
• “I apologize, you’re 100% correct that I was guessing”
• “How do I get you to stop guessing”
• “Use this code…”
• Repeat endlessly

I do think it comes up with some buried, interesting sources, but that’s about it. It’s like a 5 year old.

I have found that AI acts almost exactly like my text predictor in my chats, not very well.

You want ai to do something it’s not able to do. Hallucinations are the foundation of how it generates text. Everything out generates is a hallucination, just some are more accurate than others.

I agree with you, but that can be a useful tool in certain situations. They completely lied about its capabilities. A super intelligence will hopefully have a human and robot survival mode built in.

This is totally on point. I told gemini explicit instructions not to make shit up, things it told me to say, and it totally hallucinated over and over. I asked if paid versions are better. Then it gave sources that yes, paid is better, but not foolproof. Basically, the paid versions sandbox the shit out of the answer and then have it verified by other “agents.” The problem with this is, once it has access to the internet, it’s fucked. Reddit has poisoned most of the internet. There is no way for it to consistently get the right answer. It saying it’s completely correct is wrong. The only good thing it’s for is a search engine to get random, cool sources. I’m sure they’re ruining that as we speak. Why can’t these greedy mother fuckers do what’s right for the world.

Let me help you then.

• Hawaii flights from Seattle are less than going to anywhere else in the country, if you look for them on sale through Alaska or Hawaiian. Make sure you sign up for their miles account because that’s how you get the deals.
• You can also find deals on small hotels or airbnb’s (in Honolulu only) for very cheap if you get the ahead of time. You have to do everything at least 6 months in advance.
• I rent the cars usually through Costco and then watch them. Sometimes it goes down. If you rent on Costco, you can cancel at any time, so if you find a better price, take it. They also don’t do the scammy shit if you do it through Costco.
• We eat out once and do lots of free shit, because Hawaii is awesome for free things to do if you like to hike or explore.

We do things very inexpensively in real life so we can afford to go to Hawaii every so often. We have super old cars so we can afford to go to Hawaii every so often. I know you’re trolling, I just don’t get why. Last comment.

Sure? We live in Seattle, it’s pretty cheap to go to Hawaii. I’m not sure of what you’re trying to say, tbh.

It was pretty fucking cheaply made. There were other things that were odd too, I just don’t remember them all. I understand what you’re saying though, especially in Hawaii. Even having taken that into account, there were some really odd, cheaply made decisions on jeep’s part.

They’re fun to drive on pavement too. They have good turning radius and they’re fast. I wouldn’t own one though, I think they’d be in the shop a lot.

They’re fun to drive, they just break incredibly easy in weird spots. Like the seatbelt holder/guide? Why would that break. We don’t own one, but have rented a few of them when we go to Hawaii.

We still don’t know what type of person they are. Them being smart and focused on the research, doesn’t give them a pass. They could even not care who else has the info.
