firstly please calm down, there’s no need to be upset

the direction to not outrun a bush fire is for civilians, not people who put themselves in the line of fire as part of their job

Yeah there was, they have burn over protection in case they get overrun by fire, this one from South Australia for example has a few features:

Key features standard across all response vehicles:

• Cabin deluge systems for cabin glass protection.
• In-cabin breathing systems for crew oxygen supply for burn over events.
• Cabin crew protection (window curtains, where required) as radiant heat shields.
• In-cabin pump control to enable operation of Cabin Deluge from the cab.
• Under-cabin heat shields to reduce radiant heat penetration of cabin structures.
• Tyre spray systems to reduce radiant heat.
• Updated visibility markers to new safety standards to improve fleet visibility on fire grounds and when responding.

it’s a joke buddy calm down

can’t stop! won’t stop!

seems like so far things are going well, businesses spend more on ads on google 🙃

Google, for now, is still laughing its way to the bank. The search giant is putting advertisers’ ads within or directly above and below AI Overviews themselves. As Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in an interview last year, “If you put content and links within AI Overviews, they get higher clickthrough rates than if you put it outside of AI Overviews.” Organic links are pushed down.

Even in 2024, market research company SparkToro’s study of searchers found “almost 30 percent of all clicks go to platforms Google owns.” For every 1,000 Google searches in the United States, 360 clicks go to a non-Google-owned, non-Google-ad-paying property. With the rise of AI Overview, Google’s share can only have grown, while everyone else’s has shrunk.

I believe maps and youtube were money losers for google for a very long time but the goal was to keep people within the google ecosystem where they can extract money from users in other ways

The ‘quiet part out loud’ isn’t being used how it should be

Microsoft appears to genuinely believe that AI features are what customers want even if they don’t directly ask for it, nobody asked for Google’s AI feature but it’s hugely popular, people freakin love it (except here on Lemmy of course where it’s the devil), Google see that users are staying on their site longer and not clicking through to sites as much which is a win for them and a win for users

A real quiet part out loud would be ‘Microsoft knows its users don’t like its AI features but don’t care because Windows isn’t a money maker for them compared to Microsoft Copilot 365’

JFC a positive post on tech and 3/3 posts bitching about techbros, AI and gaza somehow ?? 🫥
