NEW: The website once owned by Cambridge Analytica (!) is now an AI content farm. Rebranded as "CA Privacy Watch," the site is littered with plagiarism and weird errors. It's also utilized at least one fake writer whose face seems to have been stolen from a random guy. futurism.com/artificial-i...
Cambridge Analytica's Website Is Now an AI Slop Farm
Cambridge Analytica has returned, in a very 2026 way: CambridgeAnalytica.org is now an AI-powered content farm.

Google is used by 80% of Internet users & is threatening the integrity of the Internet for its own profit. This will make any information received through Google, highly suspect & less reliable than it is now, & eliminates the links which businesses use for their own marketing INSIDE Google searches

Hey what are you doing right now? Nothing? Great. Perfect time to start a blog. Seven years old, most of the advice still fits great: tedium.co/2019/01/01/2...
Why You Should Start A Blog
The independent blog has been in decline for years. It doesn’t have to be that way. Here’s why you should start a blog in 2019—and host it yourself.

Google prioritises AI slop. Rossman is furious, so should you be. Everything prioritised on Google is either going to be created/written with AI or run through an AI filter.
I'm #1 on google thanks to AI BULL💩 - the modern internet is a joke.

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
"And I never say no" We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control. We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Finally got around to watch this Drew Gooden video. He's presenting what a whole lot of journalists and researchers have been writing about the AI industry with the intensity of someone who is rightly pissed off.

"AI is a direct attack on the way we verify information: AI both creates fake sources and obscures its actual sources. That is the opposite of what librarians do, and teachers do, and scientists do, and experts do." 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

Breaking Google up was one of the last best hopes for preventing the free press from getting squeezed into oblivion and harvested into AI slop, and for saving the open web. The ruling that effectively lets Google continue operating as a monopoly isn't just disappointing, it's a disaster.
