I don’t think the audio challenge trains AI since it only plays a single clip. The visual challenge works because it mixes in answers it knows (to confirm you’re a human) with answers it doesn’t know (to train the AI)
My theory is that the audio challenge is purely for verification and they’re okay with it not doing any training since a small minority of users will opt for it anyway.


Technically it doesn’t fuck up the AI training; it just sidesteps it (still good and definitely easier)

From the article:
This will also impact other Chromium-based browsers, though the comment notes that “other browsers can continue supporting these if they so desire.” Neowin points out that Microsoft Edge and Opera are likely to follow suit.
I’ve just been sticking with Firefox since it’s open source and I trust uBlock Origin more than any other adblocker. (It even works great on Android)

Five, the audience member claimed. “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” the man continued.
Kirk leaned forward and picked up his mic before setting back into an upright position. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” he said.
A loud “pop” suddenly rang out.

he was unaware Mix could share patron data with neighboring businesses but did not see a problem with it. “I think it’s cute that they share it amongst other bars,” he wrote. “It’s like a little cybersecurity community.”



This wallpaper would look great on Linux Mint 😂



“AI Mode” delivers more useful information than the old style page link list does these days.
How does Google’s AI mode compare to other traditional (non-ai) search engines such as https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ ?
To me it means to move quickly. Often it means to move quickly under strain, but not necessarily.
(Moving slowly under strain is not hauling ass.)
The best example I can think of would be the insane running animations of Peppino from Pizza Tower:


And this scene from Rat Race (2001) is maybe less helpful but still relevant: https://youtu.be/PzjLImF8Zbc?t=1m5s
If you decide to try Linux again, ask for help here and/or the support forum for your chosen distro instead of an AI. They tend to hallucinate and come up with overly complex or impossible solutions sometimes.
