Apparently, Google's new AI-based search is quite honest.
(sh.itjust.works)
For those not aware, Google is rolling out their new AI-based "Generative AI" search, which seems to mesh Bard with the standard experience.
I asked it today why Google no longer follows their "don't be evil" motto... The results are pretty hilarious.
They're about to
kill -9the AI process that wrote this and make all the other processes watch.Haha,
kill -9all Google processes, and the little daemons they rode in on too.Just added it to the massive Google graveyard next to Stadia, wave, hangouts, plus, music, etc etc
I am shocked and appalled that Google Reader didn't get called out in this list and is relegated to the "etc" category.
It deserves more than "etc."
You ain't wrong but Google just stacks so many bodies it's impossible for me to remember em all.
They do! It's really surprising a company that big throws so much shit at the wall.
"kill" (stopping a software process) okay,
... but what's the "-9" here ?
Kill is the main command and 9 is the specific signal. Google SIGKILL
More specifically kill normally sends a SIGTERM which is the equivalent of clicking the X button in Windows. It's a polite request that the program close itself. Signal 9, also known as SIGKILL shuts the program down immediately and is the equivalent in Windows of opening the task manager and pushing the end process button. It terminates the program immediately without giving it any time to do anything it might still have pending, but in the event that the program is unresponsive might be the only way to successfully close it.
TIL. And thanks for the Windows analogues. I like learning about stuff like this.
