00:00I mean, you have to feel bad when a group of students trying to do something right totally screw up.
00:07Their hearts were in the right place.
00:09But last week, a group of high school students were mistakenly served a dessert consisting of baked dirt at a
00:18charity event.
00:19It's called the Empty Bowl Supper, and it's a community event at a high school in Maine that is designed
00:25to raise money and support for those who are going hungry in the area.
00:30The dirt in question was part of a science experiment at the school in which it was baked so it
00:37could be sterilized and then tested for plant growth later.
00:43Someone baked the dirt and then put it away from the food that was being served at the dinner, yet
00:50it still got mistaken for a dessert.
00:53And somebody took it out and put it out there.
00:58Cut it up and got it ready.
00:59And three students dug in and came away with mouthfuls of dirt.
01:05The school has since apologized.
01:07They've spoken to the parents of the students involved.
01:10It seems that everybody is going to be okay.
01:12Now, if you wanted to see whether or not you can safely eat baked dirt, you might Google that, right?
01:19Right, of course.
01:20Well, Google's making their biggest change in over 25 years.
01:23At yesterday's Google I.O. conference, the company explained that your search results are now going to more closely resemble
01:31AI chats instead of a laundry list of websites.
01:35It's an intelligent search box that will also allow you to ask follow-up questions and narrow the responses.
01:42Big changes come into the Googs, but they think it's for your benefit.
01:48Yeah, I mean, it definitely will probably help streamline answers, but I feel bad for anybody running blogs or websites
01:55trying to get traffic to their sites.
01:58Exactly.
01:58Yes, and I know what some people might be thinking.
02:01Yeah, oh, they'll cite their sources and whatever it might be, but that's still not giving that traffic if they're
02:07giving you the answers in all the AI chats.
02:09By the way, Jeff, while you were talking, I did, in fact, Google, can I safely eat baked dirt?
02:17And?
02:17No.
02:18According to the AI overview from Google, it is generally not safe to eat baked dirt.
02:23While baking or heating dirt may kill some bacteria or parasites, it does not remove other serious health risks like
02:31heavy metal contamination or nutrient absorption issues.
02:35You know what's funny?
02:36I see that all the time, that word generally within any sort of AI, right?
02:41It's generally, and then they go in and be like, no, it's absolutely not okay.
02:45But they're like, they're trying to softball it to you.
02:48Like, it's generally frowned upon massively and could kill you.
02:51But it's like.
02:52Right.
02:53Could just say no.
02:54It won't absolutely kill you.
02:55But generally, it's not good for you.
02:58It could kill you.
02:59Yeah.
