    Jenny (the boat) survived colliding with the dock and survived a storm that destroyed the rest of the shrimping fleet, leaving Forrest and Lt. Dan to be lifted from poverty, allowing Lt. Dan to reconcile with God and his self-hatred.

    Google already has more money than God, and is monetizing AI to kill God and steal his money.

    Has this guy even seen this movie?

    Yeah, that’s Google News now. In this metaphor, Forrest is Google and Lieutenant Dan is AI.

    The title made me think it was the sole surviving news source… like Forrest’s boat after the storm - being the sole survivor raking in all the shrimp.

    I suspect getting the dates wrong is because websites ump their publish date when nothing has changed, which keeps them showing up in results for extended/indefinite periods.

    Obviously Google should police that, but Google doesn’t use Google news I don’t think.

      Why is Google even indexing YouTube and Reddit in Google News though

        To train their AI on and now that they’ve got the goods they’ve kicked Reddit to the curb

        Because that’s where the average American gets their news, I suppose. Them and Joe Rogan.
