    If hypothetically a false headline on a reputable site led to an incident involving injury or death, could Google be found liable in anyway?

    So what’s happening here is Google is feeding headlines into a model with the instructions to generate a title of exactly 4 words.

    Every example is 4 words.

    Why they think 4 words is enough to communicate meaningfully, I do not know. The other thing is whether novel they’re shoving into their products for free is awful, hence the making things up and not knowing in the context of a video game exploit is not the same as the general use of the word.

      I don’t think meaningful communication is a KPI they optinize for. More likely time spent in the Discover feed.

      Four words seems a fair metric for the shortest descriptive headline. I mean, can you beat “Foot Heads Arms Body”? The only shorter ones are “man bites dog”, “Dewey defeats Truman”, or something as simple as “WAR” when everyone already knows the details and this is just the official announcement.

    Yeah my Ublock Origin block filter is nearly 2000 lines, almost all of it blocking shit like this. If it ever gets nuked on Firefox then I’m going full Kaczynski.
