Excuse me but haven't we seen multiple lawyers professionally disciplined for relying on LLMs to prepare briefs and then submitting documents with misleading or nonexistent citations and other substantial errors in them?
So why in the seven hells is CanLII putting an "AI Summary" under each item in its search results?
One of my cognitive quirks is that I can expend my drive to complete a task by talking through what I will do. It's a matter of degree, and the more I talk something out the less likely I am to actually do it.
You might imagine how a daily mandatory brief, detailing my plans for the day and requiring me to answer in detail if someone wants to know more, might affect me.

I have since found confirmation that the 4GB blob Google helpfully shat into Chrome users' computers and the standards proposal linked below are two ends of the same project. Someone at Google is in a real hurry to turn their quarterly performance review into a durable internet standard.
Extremely pleased to see this kind of upwards consequence for being an asshole. This is the second such project I've seen this week; the other is for Firefox, to remove Moz Corp's AI and cross-promotion gunk.

stop sending me confirmation messages. Every channel you do that with becomes useless.
The state of `JSON.parse` is so dire it makes me want to write a JSON processor.
Do you like one-line code change proposals that come with more than a hundred lines of docs changes? Of course you do.
The FFXIV community is once again having a giggle about the story of Gae Bolga, which means I am once again considering the degree to which identifiable sexual orientations and gender archetypes _cannot be understood_ without the society in which they exist.
me: surely this is too trivial to test, but sure, for form's sake
me five minutes later: _three_ bugs?!
Since it's nearly impossible to search for this without being inundated with DOM-level focus event information, is there a standard DOM event for when a browser window, hosting a page that is visible, loses or gains focus?
