Evidence Grows That Google's AI Overviews Have Eviscerated the Media Industry Google's AI overviews have eviscerated the media landscape, with some top publications losing up to 97 percent of their web traffic.

Welp. The internet had a nice run.

Some outlets have lost over 90% of their traffic since the "AI" summaries rolled out.

"...the four worst-hit publications [now] get less monthly web traffic combined than the r/ChatGPT subreddit gets on its own."

War of Armageddon Polls Badly #weird

i think enthusiastic LLM use is mostly a stack of cognitive biases, unacknowledged plagiarism, and unmet needs in a trenchcoat

but also my main objections aren't about them being bad at tasks so i don't care if you think they've gotten better at it

Seems like.

Saw this clip of McCartney interviewed on the South Bank Show in 1978 the other day and haven’t been able to get it out of my head. It’s a one-minute crash course in creativity and success. You can’t be afraid of being seen as silly or not good enough. You just have to do the work and get it out.

I will be tracking down; playing the Maison Ikkoku vidja game until further notice. 🐤

I admire Richardson creating a creator friendly place like Dark Horse, and especially how he bought the rights to Mike Baron/Steve Rude's Nexus and gave it back to them for free. The world needs more of that integrity and kindess.

Happy Richardson can retire, but I am worried. I love Dark Horse.

Things are bad, you could say.

Oh no, it's begun.

Tower Records in #Shibuya, #Tokyo just opened a standing bar this weekend on its 6th floor, aka Tower Vinyl. Named Tower Beer, the bar serves imported selections and also offers its own original creations like “City Hop” and “Brit Hop” (see what they did dere?)

I suppose the Spreeder bookmarklet working for free this whole time was too good to be true. #abetterworldispossible

I realize this is not what anyone wants to hear right now, but what society needs *is* a revival of downtown skronk. #isaidit

Awesome Humble Bundle right here! Witcher Ronin is included, which reimagines The Witcher in a mythical Japanese setting. I consulted on the yokai in the book and wrote the bestiary in the back of the comic.

There's a lot less expectation for him to be in a another band that sounds like SY so it's maybe unfair.

SY hot take but I'm not sure I can dispute it.

the runner up suggestion, "Abolish the fusion center where the city collaborates with DHS" was disqualified for being "too long" and "something the mayor could actually do"

Gotta be a metaphor for shoveling during a blizzard, I'm at a loss here.

I feel it has value beyond nostalgia.
