I'd say this isn't just an AI overview thing. It's a Google thing. Google will sometimes show inaccurate information and there is usually no way to correct it. Various "feedback" forms are mostly ignored. I had to f

Let's assume the question has been asked in good faith. Yes, I actually do. And I lose money because of that, significant amounts, because I run a SaaS, where I (as an example) stopped service to all customers from Russia when the full

This kind of whataboutism is what leads to the current sad state of the world. One can look at any moral choice issue, say "but what about… [insert something here]" and then proceed to ignore it and do nothing. I choose to take mo

Unfortunately, Kagi works with Russian companies and pays them money, which in my book is a no-no. I do not want any of my money to contribute to the Russian economy in any way, because I know what is happening to people in Ukraine. (I was

When I looked at the title, I immediately thought that even if this makes sense from an engineering standpoint, psychology is going to be the bigger problem. For some reason many people are hell-bent on burning fossil fuels, almost in a sec

SaaS founder here. I'm assuming you got the basics right, so you do have a product market fit proven by having paying customers who are happy with your product. With that assumption: Marketing became much more important than it used to

Jobs was no angel, but he did follow "build great things and profits will come" philosophy. Apple these days is run for profit: profits are clearly first, and good things might accidentally come as well as a side effect. That woul

In some countries (notably Poland) Facebook is so burned into people's brains that you can't avoid this, and if you try, people and institutions will consider you a tinfoil hat weirdo and put pressure on you. Basically every kinde

I'd genuinely like to know how these small models are useful for anyone. I've done a lot of experimenting, and anything smaller than 27B is basically unusable, except as a toy. All I can say for smaller models is that they someti
