These fuckers
"Google announced Tuesday that early next year it would turn off artificial intelligence tools in its popular software for K-12 students, unless school administrators explicitly choose to make such tools available.
Executives at the tech giant said they wanted to be responsive to educators and parents who have asked for more control in how children interact with A.I.
But there is a catch: Schools that choose to restrict A.I. entirely will also lose access to Google search."

@kims@mas.to Kick Google into the long grass. Plenty of other search engines out there.

@kims@mas.to Sounds like a win-win. They don’t have a monopoly on search abd if they want to force customers to use competitors, I’m all for that.

@kims@mas.to There are no shrug emoji large enough for this. But, so, like a google x 🤷 .

@kims@mas.to Fortunately there are other search engines, right?
