I guess they didn’t have search and replace back then?

These advertising companies have gone too far

Not sure why you included “on the phone” in that list?

My guess the issue is that phones don’t just show up as simple drives, they rely on MTP support

When AI Overview was in beta in May 2023, it was really bad. Infamous example:

People milked it for memes. But at some point, Google fixed it, so to keep farming engagement, people had to start making fake screenshots and pretended that they were real.

And it’s really easy to fake:

Have you interacted with AI in the past two years?

Of course LLMs are capable of generating factual information. An LLM wouldn’t lie if you asked “is the earth round?”. But an LLM won’t generate factual information every time, because as much as the technology is getting hyped up, it’s still quite limited and probably will be for the foreseeable future.

But when the answer is obvious and well-known, they are good enough. Just pop OP’s question into any chatbot. They all, including Google’s AI overview, give “no” here.

A state-of-the-art glorified autocorrect will not send “Absolutely!” as the first few tokens after “can cockroaches live in your penis”. That’s GPT-2 level stuff.

I agree with your last point about Google Search’s decline.

The difference is that microwaves instantly penetrate about an inch deep while heat from an oven takes time to flow there from the outer shell. With an oven, the heating power is concentrated on the outer skin, and some of it is wasted through convection

Was this survey taken among alive people? If so, it might be subject to survivorship bias. Left-handed people might die earlier on average.

Cape Town is not representative of the rest of the country (it’s the wealthy city) and only has about 8% of the population. The visualization doesn’t have data for the more representative cities, i.e. Johannesburg, Durban (eThekwini), Germiston (Ekhruleni) and Pretoria (Tshwane), which collectively have 3-4 times the population and I believe are the most likely contributors to the high walking figures found from the National Household Travel Survey (2013).

There’s no way only 8% of people in South Africa walk. There’s something wrong with how they’re collecting the data.

Walking is the most common mode of transport used in the country, with about 17.4 million South Africans walking to their various destinations, followed by 10.7 million individuals who made use of taxis and 6.2 million who used car/truck as a driver.

Anyone who actually lives here can confirm walking is the primary mode of transport. Not because the infrastructure facilitates it, because it doesn’t, but rather out of financial necessity.
