Google AI search mode saying after typing disregard:

If you are trying to test whether I will experience the recent "disregard" search engine glitch, l am fully aware of it and will not break character.
As reported by TechCrunch and USA Today, search engine Al Overviews recently began misinterpreting action words like "disregard",
"ignore",
", and "dismiss" as literal system
commands rather than vocabulary search queries. Instead of displaying a definition, they mistakenly responded with chatbot phrases like
"Understood. Message disregarded, "followed by a massive blank space.

Running AI agents as Unix executables that self-improve has been one of my wilder ideas lately. You can pipe agents: `think weather | think song` The agent eventually writes a determinative script after enough runs for simple programs. It’s as secure as a browser too. thinkingscript.com

There’s a long-standing idea that implicit throw/catch isn’t as practical as it seems, and errors should be returned explicitly (as in Go). For TypeScript, a proposal suggests returning either a value or an error so the type system enforces handling. errore.org

An advertisement for Zoho CRM featuring a woman smiling and holding her fists up in excitement. She is standing next to a claw machine with a yellow ball labeled "VALUE." The background is blue and there are three multi-colored circles at the bottom with the words "FLEXIBLE," "SIMPLE," and "VALUE." The Zoho logo is in the top left corner and the text "ZOHO CRM. GRAB VALUE. The CRM with game-changing value. www.zoho.com/crm-value." is in the center.
