Oh, NOW Google's "instead of showing you a website, we'll vibe code one for you and hallucinate the contents" kind of makes sense 🤔

@nina_kali_nina @g_boccia what the fuck ???

Is this the end of the web? Who will build a reliable index instead?

@nina_kali_nina @g_boccia I feel like it's not enough, how are we going to find existing info? Will archive.org turn into the only remaining search engine?

@f4grx that is unfortunate indeed, but I guess there'll be more value in establishing connections between people, and building curated lists
