Historically, once a popular movement had taken to the streets in large numbers, a dictatorship’s only move used to be ultra-violence. Now, in a hyper-connected world they have to do a much more detailed cost/benefit analysis. So, the pride march was in defiance of the governments wish not wishing for a different government. Basically, this didn’t rise to the level of an existential crisis for the leadership so they are pulling back and using PR to deal with the image issue. The real cost for them, I suspect, is that now there’s precedent, so the next pride march may have an easier time. Let’s hope so 🌈

I give up, you win.

You’ve misunderstood me (let’s just say “not deliberately” for a moment). What I’m saying is that regardless of what Google does in terms of long term plans or nuanced anything not all searches are equal. Neither you nor I can say at this point how this will shake out. Also, what have you eaten today? You know what you’re like when you don’t eat…

It might be harder than you think…

What kind of information are you talking about? Let’s be specific. The phone number for a garden center or how a rocket engine works? This won’t affect every search the same way. This is actually a fantastically complex question and we’ll only really see what happens when it does.

This headline is so messed up. AI is making searching easier and more convenient and reducing the amount of clicks (often to zero) you need before you get the information you want. For people searching the web for information that’s a clear improvement. If you make your money from SEO then it sucks but if the headline was “Is Google about to decimate the SEO/PPC industry?” Then we’d be reacting in an entirely different way I imagine.

This makes no sense unless Russian leadership is getting desperate (which they may well be I suppose). They’ve lost over a million people just trying to invade Ukraine. Opening up a second front with a well trained new enemy just seems unwise in the extreme. It would be like fighting a baby elephant and messing that up so deciding to fight the enraged elephant’s Mum as well.

Really exciting trailer! LOVING the look of this thing 😄 Wow so hyp… WAIT… is that Jared Leto? Awww crap… never mind.
