@phenomlab that makes sense

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab that is really interesting. I read an article where they had two AIs communicate with each other and it didn’t take very long and they started making up their own language so they could communicate faster. After a while of AI doing this, those doing the experiment shut it down because they couldn’t keep up and had no clue what the AIs were communicating about. I will have to see if I can find that article.

@Madchatthew it’s this one see the first post.

@phenomlab i don’t trust Google or it’s AI any further than I could throw a building. I know it sounds a little hypocritical of me to say that when I use good search. I always question the results that Google’s AI displays at the top though.

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew I think everyone has used Google search without even knowing it to be honest - even those who class themselves as purists.

I too have never trusted Google. You’re not alone!

I’m really intrigued as to how this will play out. I fully support the mother here and admire the fact she is willing to bring tech companies to account.

This will be a landmark case if she wins and will likely pave the way for other families who have also had to suffer.

@phenomlab this is very awesome! They should be held accountable.

@phenomlab that is crazy. It is such a pain already to try and circumvent scammers the way it is and now that is added to make it even easier for them. One really needs to pay attention to what they are clicking on and what site they are on as well.

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew Yes, absolutely. Then you also have to consider the serial clickers who regardless of what training you give them decide they are going to do it anyway!

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab oh yeah, serial clickers are the bane of my existence. Even in my current job. I have to stop them and tell them to stop clicking on random stuff and listen to what I am telling them. In a nice way of course, but in my head I am beating their hands with one of those meat tenderizer hammers. So annoying. Some people don’t even just stop to think about what they are doing. It is like oooohhh preettttyyyy a blue link, click, click, click, click and before you know it, it is like how did you even get to this spot.
