"links will become an afterthought" is not even coded language for "the rest of the internet is merely training data and we will own the entire means of accessing information online"
as Dr. Bender says upthread, the Rethinking Search paper just says this explicitly, also AMP, etc. I only mildly edited their figure here
The shift to "search journeys" is just another way of referring to "whole life immersive surveillance" where the intention is to slowly train you to expect more and more of your personal information to be visibly injected into search results as a surface for "personalization" and eventually move towards "zero-query search" where advertisements-i-mean-helpful-information are proactively volunteered to you.
this language appears in full form as early as 2018 and was chilling even then:
The zero-query search paradigm can be expressed with the slogan “the query is the user.” In practice, the context of the user is used to infer information needs. (Entity Oriented Search)
Who gives a single shit how good the "AI" can code when the purpose of "AI" is and always has been enclosure of all information in an ad-driven surveillance platform. If you love LLMs, this is the future you, yes you, are actively helping create.
(roll m3tti)@jonny i've lost a lot of faith in humanity due to this and also all the other incidents that happend like edward snowden, epstin, cumex and all other stuff i don't want to get into detail. But this showed me the public is not interessted in what happens to them and who controlls their lifes and yet i have no clue how to tackle this problem besides better education. But this is also rigged :/. Cyberpunk here we come
@jonny but than there are also folks that just do awesome work and don't let this bad stuff in their lifes like all people #permacomputing or the #noai movements around the world. So yeah i guess there will always be a resistance. The sadest part is that most of my tech "friends" or people that are renowned for tech expertise praise the ai stuff which i totally not get. Due to the fact that its not intelligent. I thought always that people in it are quite smart and know a little bit of math but i might have been misslead. Those statistic systems will and can't be intelligent due to the nature auf statistics its just getting somewhere near but never exact. But somehow i have the feeling that people always go for the solution that is "good enough" which totally is covered by statistics.
