Dave Barry is the best!

That is such a classic problem with Google (from long before AI).

I am not optimistic about anything being changed from this, but hope springs eternal.

Also, I think the trilobite is cute. I have a [real fossilized] one on my desk. My friend stuck a pair of glasses on it, because I'm an old dinosaur, but he wanted to go back even further.

Cool!

The site structure is also fairly prehistoric!

One use of AI tech is that it can enable megacorps to take and process actual fucking feedback, for once.

Loved Dave Barry's writings over the years. Specifically his quote on humor struck me as itself deep.

"a measurement of the extent to which we realize that we are trapped in a world almost totally devoid of reason. Laughter is how we express the anxiety we feel at this knowledge"

Yeah, trilobites are cute. Sad to see infighting among the beings-that-are-surely-dead community.
