They are making it impossible to host information online and drying up resources. Stop defending and supporting these malicious entities.
Open knowledge sharing AND copyright are both under siege. Whether you are for one or the other doesn't matter.
This is a shared issue that's hitting "both sides". They are taking away YOUR choice, replacing it with regurgitation & centralisation while the open internet withers away.

No better time than the present to speed up your effort to get off US tech platforms and services.
Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

I actually switched search engines for that reason. I find their insistence to shove that shit in my face insulting. But that's how you juice the numbers: Every search user now "uses AI". It's all bullshit.
as one does, I’ve been googling a lot of stuff recently and it’s crazy that more than a year in they still insist on putting wrong information via AI overview at the top of almost every search. crazy how quickly ive become accustomed to reflexively scroll past/ignore

Saw a Google Principal Engineer (who works on Gemini) on twitter state:
“Code isn’t a moat, data is”
The data they mean is the countless works of creatives Google scraped/stole to build Gemini, NanoBanana and so, on.
That post was yet another reminder, that without us, GenAi would be nothing 😭

Computer scientist Louis Rosenberg argues that dismissing AI as a “bubble” or mere “slop” ignores the tectonic technological shift now unfolding.

Making an 8-10 minute short film that plays like an animated children's book.
Specifically hand-drawn-style or paint-style, but still functionally CG using modern software and workflows. No AI please.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
