We knew this was coming. Probably the move that will begin the end of traditional search for all but the staunchest alternatives, & hyper-normalise 'AI' at scale.

With the exception of those few countries that cannot reach Google services, it will make 'AI' endemic, & give these tech oligarchs profound control.

One of those days where once again I have to recommit to keep up the fight, and not pivot to making longbows, growing artisanal potatoes, Or similar.

Last week at DrupalSouth Pam Barone gave a keynote on how Drupal CMS is changing the Drupal landscape. Dries said it's one of the clearest articulations he's seen of what Drupal CMS is, why it exists, and where it's headed.

Pam's keynote explains how Drupal CMS is making Drupal easier across the board - and why that matters for new developers, for agencies, and for Drupal at any scale, be it small builds or enterprise scale.

It’s a must watch.

LLMs are not designed for a purpose. They are not designed for a group of related purposes. They are not a product of design.

They are a mechanism of design which is being reactively presented as solutions for whatever purposes seem to have the most revenue potential.

Wow some terrible reporting about Google's latest horrible ideas about how to distort information access in the name of "convenience" (or something):

I’m looking for a few more beta testers for Readtivity before launch — a reading activity tracker focused on goals, stats, and building better reading habits

I do so wish y'all would stop quoting LLM output to me, even when you want to point out how bad it is.

They don't care how bad it is.

They care how often y'all use it.
