Individual people with Trump-brained relatives who have the energy to try and deprogram them are free to try.
If someone's siblings and children can't bring them around to sense, why would you EVER expect their representative to be able to do so?

"We’ve heard from power users that they want AI responses for even more of their searches"
I can only assume these "power users" are actually 3 racks of Nvidia servers in a trench coat because WHAT

It's not too wild for Denver. And I've seen the line in Seattle stretch out into the parking garage once; so glad I was arriving!
Poor staffing is a bitch.
(Getting some local opinions of how early to show up can be really useful.)

Yup. Nothing like checking in two hours before your flight and then missing it because of TSA shift change!
Next time, we had to kill almost two hours in the terminal.

I love that this phenomenon has been termed MAD, Model Autophagy Disease. (Autophagy translates to "self-eating.")

HALX? XHAL? HALAI? HAIL?
And yet, they'll manage to come up with a worse name.

Semicolons Georg, most prolific user of semicolons by several orders of magnitude, has died recently following a prolonged and difficult illness; mourners are requested to be liberal with their semicolon use in a show of support.

"chicken at a farm" 💀
And yeah, I, a cis woman, have been offered hormones at medical appointments, unprompted. I've been offered TESTOSTERONE to combat perimenopause symptoms. And it's fine and medically indicated for me, an AFAB woman, but not for an AFAB man? The hell?

All of the above and more!
I know other people layer their fishnets, right? I contain multitudes! And my tights drawer doesn't always contain my collection.

And if they're so worried about shrinkage, maybe staff properly so workers can ask socially uncomfortable questions instead of running their asses off from cash to lockbox to lockbox to cash.
(Just playing dumb and reminding people where the line starts can stop a lot of casual theft.)

But hoisin sauce is so good!
Look, I'll admit I'm a Philistine who tends to eat hoisin-basil-chili soup. I'm uncultured. It's delicious.

Oh yeah! Hey! That did used to happen!
Granted, a lot of the time it was because it was pre-telephones and they moved, but still, yeah! Sometimes they really did fuck off forever.
Those were the days.

I have to seriously limit my news consumption lest my psych med cocktail be rendered entirely inadequate.
It makes me feel like I'm not doing enough sometimes, but I was doing absolutely nothing for 2.5 weeks of severe depression, so...

A friend named her cat Basil, as in Basil Rathbone. The tech at her vet's office was unfamiliar with that pronunciation, and thus he became Bazzel, minor demon of food theft and sloth.

Exactly. ML is almost magical and of huge benefit when applied to specific problems; it can also generalize in truly fascinating ways to adjacent spaces (pastry ID -> cancer cell ID).
What it isn't is a do-everything machine or a universal fix. It's kinda like how humans specialize, actually.
