@tetron @pluralistic absolutely. I agree that it’s not really a “new” cycle, but wasn’t specifically referencing the bird place.

I’m sure it’s happened in other industries throughout history, but I don’t recall in my lifetime seeing SO MANY cornerstone internet companies actively devalue themselves and their partners/competitors.

Garbage “AI”-generated content that can’t be detected as spam and locking out access to information by multiple web companies has simultaneously devalued web search.
