Could someone please tell me why #Google is putting Donald Trump's photo along with Baldwin on the preview info card for the 2021 #RustShooting?
I think their #AI did it simply because there is a lot of '#AlecBaldwin doing #Trump on #SNL' noise in the #search history and on the internet.
I hit Feedback and reported it. If anyone, there should be a photo of the victim of the accidental shooting. Not Trump.
God, make him go away.

Question for anyone who has a #YouTube channel.
#Google just deleted a channel I only started maybe 2 weeks ago. I had plans for it, but the only thing I had done so far was watch content and start making some playlists. I'm appealing, but WTF? I didn't see anything in the Community Guidelines.
Anyone have a clue what I did wrong and if Google will even care about my appeal?
Edit: they reinstated it. What do you think caused it? Something in their algorithm? Someone didn't like me?

This behavior really pissed me off at the time I was a #Google employee, when history auto-delete was introduced to Hangouts and then ham-fistedly turned on by default. We were also constantly being coached on what language we were allowed to use in chats versus what we were allowed to use when speaking face-to-face, because it was seen as okay to say those things so long as a courtroom could never find out.
Corporate culture can only mask the effects of captalism for so long. Alphabet is and has always been a business existed to make profit, grow, and satisfy shareholders. https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/20/tech/google-layoffs-employee-culture/index.html #techlayoffs #techindustry #google

Compared to #Google, #Microsoft’s multi-account management sucks big time.
I have to juggle 3 to 4 different Microsoft accounts. It’s like rolling dice which account is used for Teams and Outlook. Sometimes I have to re-enter my password, sometimes I have to reload a couple of times before anything works.
It’s a complete mess and I’m someone who is supposed to know computer-y stuff.
if you want to talk about too big to fail, #Google can ruin the lives of like 100% of anyone who has been online in the last decade. and I bet they could do it at scale too.
Das gibt wieder unnötigen Aufwand, nur weil Certs nicht zurückgezogen werden können. Das bindet Resourcen und lässt m.M.n. zusätzlich Monopole weiter wachsen und kleine Firmen weiter straucheln, sprich bei Google (faktisch das Internet) unsichtbar werden.

Außerdem wird die IP-Adresse, die Google von Nutzern erhält, von amerikanischen Geheimdiensten ausgewertet (und nicht nur von Google).

I really appreciate #Bing's #Search AI because it cites as opposed to #Google's #Bard and #OpenAI. This makes it somewhat usable for me. I can't trust one of these large #LLMs to tell me the truth otherwise.
In fact, I've repeatedly asked OpenAI for web resources / books related to specific topics and it invariably #hallucinates them.

Judging from their main site they are mainly into ad space rental / click bait content farm stuff…
The infamous impressions surge without clicks following. I've written about this before, & it's often due to an image ranking in the SERPs (so you gain impressions, but nobody clicks).
