          “This week I discovered the same pattern, executed by Google. Google Chrome is reaching into users' machines and writing a 4 GB on-device AI model file to disk without asking. The file is named weights.bin. It lives in OptGuideOnDeviceModel. It is the weights for Gemini Nano, Google's on-device LLM. Chrome did not ask. Chrome does not surface it. If the user deletes it, Chrome re-downloads it.”

            Seems like a good day to re-up this reminder: “Google’s mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.”
            Which information? The world’s. Are we part of the world? Yes. Do they need to access and use all our info to fulfill their mission? Obviously. Don’t we get access and use too? Sure, but there’s no mention in the mission of cost or presentation. If indexing is a process, AI is ultra processed.

              so isn't even interested in scraping the web. they just want to sell the opportunity to write misinformation and propaganda for search to the highest bidders.

              eons ago, when i explained what SEO is to a non-techie friend they looked at me puzzled and said it sounded like a scam; that people were basically giving free labor to Google for the chance of a high ranking they could completely upend without explanation.

                ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris.

                With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.

                  Today's Google Announcement that they are essentially killing search and making it just AI summaries so you don't need to go to the original sites may be a blessing in disguise. Present day content creators that really produce content will be strangled off. The new paradigm will be feeding the LLM bots. What will they be fed? They'll be fed more LLM generated content. It'll be a human centipede of content. Those of us who want that, which sadly is probably like >80% of the population, will go to their big tech LLM portals as their sole source of content. The producers that eschew that will continue to produce and hopefully connect with those of us that can't stand that fucking shit. How do we maximize access and discovery to these real producers and not slop farms? That's the question we should be asking. I don't think this will be the demise of Google or any of the big tech platforms. There is plenty of money to be made feeding junk food to the masses. I think we should think about how we generate sufficient discoverability to real creators and get sufficient revenue streams to them that they can keep doing it for a living, or at least a decent paying part time gig.

                    FWIW, I still think AI glasses or AirPods with cameras, or whatever it is that Google announced today are not going to be successful products in the end. I don’t care what the spin is about privacy. You can’t spin creepy.
