Norm Tovey-WalshVisit site. Site says: âSomething went wrong. Disable your ad blocker.â Well. Yes. I agree, something went wrong. But thatâs a âyouâ problem, not a âmeâ problem. Hereâs the thing. There is no story that is so interesting that I will disable my ad blocker for you. Any story genuinely that interesting will show up in other places and Iâm not disabling my ad blocker for you.

If you are wearing smart glasses and come to the ER, the smart glasses people are going to get a recording of my history, exam, and discussion of your results. You wouldnât believe how often I unexpectedly find cancer, or syphilis, or other conditions you may not want big tech to immediately be privy to. Meta isnât subject to medical privacy laws. It also isnât my job to recognize your camera and give you a heads-up. In fact, big signs in the ER tell you recording is not allowed.

tanteIn Yesterday's IO Keynote Google declared war on the remnants of the Web.
While they packaged it as a lot of "AI" talk what their whole approach of decontextualizing information, of taking away links to sources and instead producing some LLM generated response means is that they want to establish a new abstraction layer on the web. Where Zuckerberg with his Metaverse failed Google is starting the next attack: Your website, your work no longer matters.
Well it matters as (unpaid) raw material for their synthetic text extruders but not as cultural artifact you can share with others.
This is a literal revolution but one against the participatory web, against us: The goal is to take away the web and guide people into Google's abstraction on top of it. An abstraction they control and moderate. It's about monopolizing access to information.
If you care about the web, about people's ability to participate in it as more than mere passive consumers, this needs to be taken seriously. De-Googlifying your mental apparatus becomes more urgent today. Find other search engines, don't use their browser. Or wake up in a slopified AOL kind of environment.
Christine Lemmer-WebberWorking in that environment, seeing as Google rolled out the idea of "cloud computing" meaning "you have no involvement or agency in your computing because we do it for you" radicalized me for much of the work of my career.
It was one thing to run a datacenter to index the world's public web information. I understood that, it made sense.
But watching as Google and Apple co-developed the idea that computers, which I cared about, got abstracted into toys and jewelry that had all your key computing done in a way you had no agency over... where I saw firsthand the kinds of churn of resources necessary to keep these things going, it made me want to fight for a different computing future.
