The enshittification of the web is nearly complete.

Just make sure you doublecheck. LLMs are wrong very often.

Absolutely. As a Dutchman I actually found English an easier and much more pleasant language than my own native tongue. I started reading in English in my early teens and pretty much gave up Dutch books.

Heās written so many amazing works. One lady working at the museum took time to read one of his lesser known poems to us. It was so funny and engaging. The man was a genius.

Laugharne is mostly known as the town where the poet Dylan Thomas (āDo not go gentle into that good nightā) spent the last years of his life.
His old home is now a museum.

And yes that makes Googleās crackdown on publishersā affiliate content harder to swallow. Theyāre focusing on the wrong areas.

That shouldnāt even be a QDF query. Why does that keyword have a news box?
Google isnāt policing its news ecosystem properly anymore - cowboy sites have free rein while proper news gets increasingly squeezed.

not really, it sort of evaporates from my trimmed skull. Whereas my hair seems to gather it and then drips it down the back of my neck... ew.

You may be okay with it but many arenāt, and I think thatās a legitimate position to take. Thereās no fair use clause in European copyright law, for example. Thereās no other way to describe what LLMs have done as wholesale theft.

Until the last few years, Google wasn't positioning itself to replace websites. When they started down that path, they rightfully were criticised for it (and sued, successfully, in Europe).
GenAI is definitely positioning itself to replace the content it has scraped. And so what they do is illegal.
