Sigh... I've gotten some good outreach as of late for content highly relevant to a site I run, only to discover the content lives on a site for gambling, or for a product that's completely unrelated, that I don't want to link to or share with my audience.

Well they did also drop “don’t be evil” so this isn’t too surprising.
I wrote about Google unveiling its 'responsible AI progress report' by quietly deleting the part of its AI principles where it promised not to work on weapons www.platformer.news/google-ai-pr...

Interesting. I saw a TV spot the other day, and now I got an email about Carls Jr.'s Hangover Burger. Looks like they've gone back to using scantily clad women to sell their burgers. While it's not as overtly sexual as the ads from 10 years ago, it's still an interesting reversal.

I wish more companies had this level of customer service. LEGO is always a pleasure to deal with when things are wrong and makes it fun, like their products.
