Wouldn't be surprised if the USA invaded anyway. They're very good with the taking-over part of the invasion, but utter crap at the ownership part, which they never think about properly until it's too late.

Yep - Google's AI Mode is a good example of this, you can give it a detailed (or woolly) question about what you want to find out, but it's limited by the data it has at hand. If something is not on the internet (as some things are), then it just doesn't exist, according to Google.

Agreed. It's a tool, and a tool which brings massive benefits if you know what to use it for. It's still early days - even the invention and adoption of electricity went through this stage of trying to use it for everything. bsky.app/profile/oldu...
