I saw a post before about how hackers are now feeding Google false phone numbers for major companies so that the AI Overview will suggest scam phone numbers, but in case you haven't heard,

PLEASE don't call ANY phone number recommended by AI Overview

unless you can follow a link back to the OFFICIAL website and verify that that number comes from the OFFICIAL domain.

My friend just got scammed by calling a phone number that was SUPPOSED to be a number for Microsoft tech support according to the AI Overview

It was not, in fact, Microsoft. It was a scammer. Don't fall victim to these scams. Don't trust AI generated phone numbers ever.

the problem with ai isn't that it's ai it's

evil companies pushing ai to devalue labor and creative products.

misconceptions about how ai works, leading to people attributing it an intelligence and sentience it does not have, which feeds into

misinformation, the decrease in effort needed to create disinformation, and the sudden increase of skill needed to spot falsified info. 3a. this includes content creators using ai to flood searches with low-quality articles and inaccurate photos, people not being transparent when they use ai for their images, and things that make it harder to do casual research online

lower threshold for doing hard work that polishes skill, leading to over-reliance on a very flawed tool.

the tool itself isn't the problem. it just exacerbates things that were already problems before.

Looking at the Google AI overview fails, and just thinking... how the fuck did Google not realize how absolutely stupid this idea was? Even I, a 15 year old who can't even drive a car yet, has enough common sense to realize that AI using the internet as reference for it's answers is going to end horribly. The internet is a cesspool, and although there can be helpful things found on it, it's more than obvious that the AI is getting it's information from a lot of memes.

A lot of these have managed to correct their mistake, but you can see where they got their original misinformation from.

(A fruit that ends in um is plum in case you're curious)

Here's my test. As you can see it's STILL wrong,

and here's the comment that the AI originally mistaked for true information.

Anyways, AI is stupid, it can only really gather data and steal from other people, it doesn't have the common sense and intuition and experience that we have that helps us determine what's true and what's obviously not, it will never understand as much as us, and companies are failing us. Ok bye!!

psa: i cant stop saying "psa" before i make any announcement

wait, wait i just discovered the most infuriatingly stupid thing ever

i was wondering if a semicolon (;) or a colon (:) would be appropriate for the previous sentence so googled it and there was this "AI overview" thing that came up as the top result. i immediately tried to find a way to turn it off but you can't????

quote from support.google.com as of 17/11/24

"Will disabling “AI Overviews and more” disable all AI Overviews?

No, turning off the “AI Overviews and more” experiment in Search Labs will not disable all AI Overviews in Search. AI Overviews are a feature like knowledge panels and can’t be turned off."

THE FUCK YOU MEAN, TURNING IT OFF DOESN'T.

TURN.

IT.

OFF??!?!?!?!?!

THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT "TURNING IT OFF" MEANS!!!!!!!

PAS: GOOGLE CAN SUCK MY PROSTHETIC DICK!!!

Master IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) Networking

As the world moves towards IPv6 to accommodate the ever-growing number of devices, one key protocol makes sure everything runs smoothly: IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP). This protocol is crucial for devices to find each other, configure their IP addresses, and ensure proper communication over an IPv6 network. In simpler terms, it’s like a “digital handshake,” allowing devices to talk and exchange important information seamlessly.

In this guide, we’ll break down the workings of NDP in a way that’s easy to understand, even for those new to networking. Whether you’re a network engineer, a student learning about IPv6, or simply someone curious about how your devices connect, this article will provide you with all the essential insights you need to master the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol and improve your understanding of IPv6 networks.

What Is IPv6 Neighbor Discovery?

Imagine you’ve just moved to a new neighborhood. You don’t know anyone yet and have no clue where the grocery store is or how to reach the nearest bus stop. Naturally, you’d walk around, introduce yourself, ask for directions, and gradually get familiar with your surroundings.

Choose platforms that align with your audience and goals. For more information on choosing the right platforms, check out this guide from Networkerden

Well, computers do something similar on an IPv6 network.

The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) helps devices

In simpler words, it’s the way devices on IPv6 networks say, “Hi, who are you?” and “Are we connected properly?”

In IPv4, we had something called ARP (Address Resolution Protocol). However, in IPv6, NDP is the new standard.

Key Features of NDP

Here’s what NDP does under the hood:

Each of these steps ensures devices can talk to each other smoothly and securely.

NDP Message Types

Let’s say you're new to a college campus. Here's how you might interact and how NDP mimics those interactions.

1. Router Solicitation (RS)

"Hey, is there any router out there?"

A new device (host) sends this message to discover local routers.

2. Router Advertisement (RA)

"Yes! I'm your router. Here are the network details."

Routers reply with necessary information like prefix, MTU, and default gateway.

3. Neighbor Solicitation (NS)

"Hey, I need your MAC address. Can you share it?"

Used to resolve the link-layer address of a neighbor or to check if a neighbor is reachable.

4. Neighbor Advertisement (NA)

"Here I am! Here's my MAC address."

Devices respond to NS messages, confirming they are active.

5. Redirect

"Hey, I’m not the best route. Use that other router instead."

Routers use this to guide hosts to better next-hop addresses.

Step-by-Step: How Devices Use NDP

Here’s a step-by-step example of what happens when your device connects to an IPv6 network:

What About Security?

NDP, by default, is a bit too trusting. That’s where SEND (Secure Neighbor Discovery) comes in, like installing a security camera on your network block.

SEND protects against:

It's not widely used everywhere yet, but it's available for high-security environments.

NDP vs. ARP: What's the Difference?

NDP is smarter, safer, and more flexible than ARP.

Why Should You Care?

Whether you’re a student, IT professional, or a curious tech enthusiast, knowing about IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol helps you understand how devices "talk" on modern networks.

And if you're setting up IPv6-enabled products, routers, or even enterprise networks, this knowledge is crucial. When your network behaves strangely, it's often due to misconfigured NDP settings.

Planning to buy an IPv6 router or firewall? Now you know exactly what features to look for. make sure it supports proper NDP handling and even SEND if needed.

Check out this list of top IPv6-capable routers for reliable options.

A Quick Anecdote: When NDP Saved the Day

Last year, an IT admin named Ravi was migrating a mid-size company's internal systems to IPv6. Everything seemed perfect — until random devices lost connectivity. After hours of debugging, it turned out that the Router Advertisement messages weren’t reaching all subnets.

A simple configuration of RA intervals and proper NDP multicast support fixed everything. The lesson? Never underestimate the power of protocol details!

FAQs About IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol

1. What is IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)?

NDP is a system that helps devices find each other on an IPv6 network, get their IP addresses, and make sure they can communicate properly. It’s like devices introducing themselves and checking if they are on the same network.

2. How Does Neighbor Discovery Work?

NDP sends messages between devices. First, a device looks for routers. Then, it gets information from them. Devices also ask each other for MAC addresses to communicate. NDP also checks if two devices have the same IP address to avoid conflicts.

3. What Are the Benefits of NDP in IPv6?

c

Yes! NDP can be secured with Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND), which uses encryption to prevent hackers from sending fake messages or intercepting communication.
