Court holds Google liable for false claims in AI Overviews. Seems significant.
"A regular search engine just points to outside websites. But AI overviews generate 'independent, new, and substantive statements' by evaluating and combining content from various third-party sites" the-decoder
Happy to have this new little essay on JSTOR Daily, "The Evolution of Britain’s Invasion Fiction." Please check it out and share it or pass it on if you find it interesting! Let's make Lieutenant-Colonel George Chesney’s "The Battle of Dorking," a viral sensation of 1871, trend again...
January 1538. A family is denounced to the Inquisition in Lisbon for remaining Jewish & keeping kosher. Evidence? The matriarch of the family refused to eat lamprey eels "because they disgust her and look like snakes." (nam comia lamprea por que tenia nojo della por lhe parecer cobra).
A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators don't apply to AI overviews. In this case, Google's AI had falsely linked two publishers to fraud and made claims that didn't appear in any of the linked sources. The ruling could set a precedent for AI-generated content liability worldwide.
Invited to a lesbian wedding next summer. So excited to learn it’s going to be a queer orgy! (Disappointed in the other lesbian weddings I’ve attended that were not.)
I've seen photos of the IWGC headquarters at St. Omer, but early photos of the local offices and huts are rare. I never did find good photos of Ronville Camp, the main maintenance/artisan depot near Arras. It's interesting to know there was a hut at Flers, not just a traveling gardening party.

I am proud of finding this new postcard of Flers (c.1919-1923) because I spotted something special about it.
If you look closely, the hut in the foreground has a tiny Imperial War Graves Commission sign over the door.
The card was posted in 1923.
