Imagine a browser where you type in “Taylor Swift” and it doesn’t even admit that her website exists. I write about Atlas, ChatGPT’s new anti-web browser that should come with a warning label. https://www.anildash.com/2025/10/22/atlas-anti-web-browser/

An anecdote: some years before 2015, I saw a documentary on Arte on how a millionaire bought a Samsonite factory in the north of France, sold it for pieces and wrecked the lives of the workers. Some of them crossed the Atlantic to plead with him. They made it to the foot of his building in New York, a building called Trump tower, but weren't let in.

I searched for this documentary many times since, and it has vanished. I knew then that the rich pay to "curate" the web.
