  • AI overviews should be opt-in, not opt-out

    I have found them useful from time to time, i turned them off because I know where to find the switch button and for environmental reasons it would be way better to force this on everyone - but knowing a lot of people might not find this button, or even look for it, i could also see how some users might be lured (back) to the big tech alternative.

    Also for us a box where you type in a search query is different as a box where you start a conversation, but i think this difference will only grow smaller - just like how desktop web pages changed appearance because of mobile-first design. Not saying you have to like it of course, but i can see the business decision here choosing growth over principles. Them getting a bigger market share is, imo, more important than them having a small carbon footprint.

Any former or current law enforcement/ army people who own a gun for legitimate reasons would not just have it in a drawer. People who have guns in drawers either want to show off or protect themselves against (other) criminals, neither would make sense for his character. Him having a gun is one detail, him not storing it safely is another.
