  • Spain also tried to tell Google News to pay up for what they offered for free to people. Google simply shut it down. I haven’t checked up to see if news agencies floundered, went elsewhere or thrived as the rich touted would happen.

    Canada is claiming the same issues. I suspect there is a symbiotic relationship between news agencies and social media that connects eyes with publishers.

    I agree with the general sentiment that Facebook users are more siloed than those heading to Google News. But paying to show a snippet just isn’t feasible.


  • He may be trying to give Pootin a way to blame the ministry of defense for providing Pootin, Wagner and the Russian people false information. A way for Pootin to blame someone not named prigozhin. Sadly with the ministry of defense making public statements against prigozhin they are trying to force Pootin to pick between the two. Either way it is a win for us.








  • AI doesn’t really exist yet. Media, back in 1870, called Tesla’s magnetically controlled boat artificial intelligence, and again in the 80s when computer scientists invented the game of life. But even now nothing we’ve made so far can do decision making. ChatGPT, the smartest out there, is really just a versatile prediction engine.

    Imagine if I said, “once upon a” and asked you to come up with the next word, you’d say, “time” as you’ve heard that phrase hundreds of times. I then asked you to come up with the next word, and the next you might start telling me about a princess locked in a tall tower protected by a dragon. These are all stereotypical elements of a “once upon a time” story. Nothing creative, just typical. Chat GPT has just read way more than you or I ever could and is really good at knowing more stereotypical stories and mixing them together. There is no “what is best for humanity” only “once upon a time…”-made up stories.
