every video on youtube being created by google ai hey no more creators to pay after all if viewers are willing to tolerate ai slop why bother presenting them with anything else the youtube money machine is heading toward a closed ecosystem ai slop flows out from youtube ad revenue flows in with no room for genuine creators youtube may ultimately consider everything else to be expendable i hope that doesn t happen but unfortunately it s not impossible either lauren author lauren posted on 28 apr 2026 why google search ai overviews are a misinformation machine i ve written in the past about inaccuracies in google s search ai overviews let s call them aios that so often seem to provide specific answers to search queries usually in rather authoritative wording and there have been many concerns about how accurate or not these aios actually are i ve publicly noted a number of examples where aios were just flat out wrong even with simple math questions which certainly doesn t give one much confidence in more complex kinds of queries now a firm called oumi led by a team of former google and former apple employees has conducted a study that combined with what google does say about these issues gives us considerable insight into some real statistics about google aios and those numbers are quite disturbing of course google has disclaimers all over the place saying that ai answers could be wrong and you should double check them but other studies have shown that hardly anybody bothers to do that and why would you expect them to what s the point of being handed an answer if you can t trust that s it s correct and what does correct even really mean some answers from google aios are fully correct some are completely wrong and some are only partly correct this last case can be particularly insidious even when google aios provide links to what are supposedly the source sites related to an answer often those sites had the information wrong themselves and then google unfortunately accepted it as correct and just stirred it into an aio answer sometimes when you look you can t even find where on those sites google supposedly got that information at all it just doesn t seem to be there so what s the scope of this problem as determined by this new study keep in mind this is a tough nut to crack for a bunch of reasons one being google aios are not particularly consistent in fact you can ask the same question twice just seconds apart and as you may have noticed you may get entirely different and even completely contradictory answers another foundational point is that percentages alone don t tell the whole story the massive scale of google they have billions of users across their ecosystem is absolutely crucial to consider this applies whether we re talking about their continuing account recovery policy failures when it comes to innocent users losing access to their accounts or when it comes to this question of aios the point is at google scale even relatively small percentages will represent vast numbers of actual human beings summarizing the numbers it shakes out like this there are a lot of factors involved but let s be generous and say that aios are inaccurate overall about 9 of the time there are significantly larger inaccuracy numbers when you look at specific related google gemini ai statistics and whether particular answers seem to be ungrounded as relates to referenced sites or inaccuracies at those sites now let s cut to the chase at google scale of around 5 trillion search queries a year that s trillions with a t the study says that we re dealing with on the order of tens of millions of wrong google aio answers every hour hundreds of thousands per minute to me especially when you consider the impracticality of really double checking such answers this is a terrible situation google has become a misinformation machine on a colossal scale virtually a mirror image of the trust we used to be able to put in their traditional search engine results without aios because it s not the correct answers we have to worry about it s the damage potentially done by wrong or partly wrong answers that people nonetheless understandably accept and act upon as if those answers were correct scale matters and enormous scale like google s matters enormously but it s the human beings around the world being impacted by that scale who google should care about the situation is made even worse since google really won t take responsibility for inaccuracies in their aios impacting those persons google is making money hand over fist but when it comes to really caring about their users they re failing more than ever lauren author lauren posted on 14 apr 2026 why apple s new macbook neo has stunned the tech world regular readers know that i don t routinely do product reviews or announcements here but when something pops up that could have significant impacts to the tech industry and broader society i ll explore those and that s what we ve got now with apple and it really is quite stunning because it pretty much goes directly against the pattern we ve come to expect from apple over the many years i ve never been an apple fanboy in fact i ve generally avoided using apple gear at all for a number of reasons one is that their products have been widely viewed as overpriced for the value provided compared with products from other manufacturers even their accessories to their main products often seemed way too expensive remember apple s thousand dollar monitor stand another reason i ve avoided apple products is that they are single sourced that is if you want to buy a windows pc or an android phone or a google chromebook you can get one from a wide variety of manufacturers with different feature sets and pricing if you want a mac computer or ios iphone or an ipad you get what apple manufactures and that s the whole enchilada so what has apple just now done to shake up the entire pc industry and trigger a flood of positive reactions across the world even from usually critical reviewers very recently they released a new mac laptop at a price point utterly uncharacteristic of apple so low that it s caused a tsunami of interest from existing windows and chromebook users among others apple calls this the macbook neo and priced the base model with 256 gig of storage at 599 dollars and an upgraded version with 512 gig of storage and touch id capability for 100 more for buyers with a qualified educational discount both versions are reduced by 100 by normal apple standards pricing this low seems nuts so what s going on the first reactions were that this must be a really stripped down laptop with quality corners cut here there and everywhere but this appears not to be the case people who got their hands on these and they re sold out at some suppliers are praising the quality throughout a completely aluminum case with an excellent display keyboard trackpad and so on two specs that caught a lot of attention were that the neo doesn t use the class of apple cpu chip you d normally expect in a mac but actually uses the apple chip from a recent iphone and the neo both models has a fixed and unexpandable ram memory of 8 gig seemingly small for a mac so the assumption was that performance would be on par with sluggish cheap windows pcs or low end chromebooks but apparently not users have been throwing all sorts of tasks at the neo all the way up to 4k video editing and the like and while they re not getting the ultra performance you d expect from a much more expensive computer model there s surprise and amazement at how capably the neo is handling these tasks far better than would be expected from a computer at this price point with these listed specs this appears to be a situation where apple s control of the entire manufacturing pipeline has really paid off for them especially given ram unavailability problems and sky high ram prices triggered by ai data centers apple s strategy with the neo seems both clear and unexpected by releasing a highly capable mac laptop at a price point significantly lower than apple s typical pricing model they re making the bet that they can bring many new users into the broader apple ecosystem both from the education sector where chromebooks currently dominate and from the broader universe of windows and other non apple computer users and judging from the enormously positive reaction to the neo so far this could very well be a bet that s going to pay off enormously well for apple while creating serious headaches for google and microsoft and for others in the pc industry as well we shall see lauren author lauren posted on 24 mar 2026 when data centers destroy communities data centers are now at the heart of a rapidly growing battle between big tech billionaire ceos and ordinary people that those billionaires are used to treating like bugs to be swatted away and increasingly it s looking like politicians who find themselves on the billionaire side of data center disputes may find their political careers seriously affected and not in a good way a recent statement i saw sums this up quite nicely it s cutting across all political socioeconomic and cultural lines these data centers are being opposed in every community where they are proposed including communities which are heavily industrialized already which are rural agricultural which are heavily republican heavily democrat wealthy poor and everywhere in between that s from marjorie steele of the michigan economic development responsibility alliance in fact there s pushback even in places like virginia where there are more than get this 500 data centers already and applications for building many more virginia apparently has almost 35 of all the hyperscale those really big data centers globally but even there residents are now pushing back on new projects from amazon and others up until recently politicians of both parties were able to claim that data centers were great for their communities mainly due to increased tax revenues but the real costs to communities have often been swept under the rug massive electricity demand creating higher rates for everyone in the areas enormous water demands for cooling even in regions that already are short of water for their communities noise and air pollution from massive gas power generators that in some cases run 24 7 literally driving residents permanently from their homes in what were once beautiful unspoiled rural areas big tech often claims there will be lots of new jobs related to these massive data centers but while there can indeed be many jobs during the construction phases of these facilities once they re up and running it usually only takes a handful of workers to keep them going those other jobs just evaporate into thin air after construction is finished keep in mind that these big tech billionaires are desperate to find ways to make back their staggeringly large investments in ai systems ai which so far by and large most businesses and individuals have found to be insipid and largely useless at best and nothing they d be willing to routinely pay for and the big tech billionaires and their political sycophants will insist that we must have ai that we must build those data centers that society can t advance without a continual deluge of large language model generative ai misinformation and other ai slop that s all actually little more than pure propaganda very few people outside the industry itself asked for this ai garbage somehow the world has managed to survive and rapidly advance technologically without generative ai this category of ai is indeed a logical development in the normal course of tech evolution but the current terrible situation was not inevitable absent the greed and sometimes seemingly bizarre sci fi mindsets behind much of the ai push the handwriting isn t only on the wall it s written in giant letters in bright fluorescent paint politicians of either party who continue to ignore their constituents anger over data centers ruining communities are increasingly going to find their own political careers cut short by the voters and when it comes to this even the big tech billionaires might not be able to save them lauren author lauren posted on 11 mar 2026 why you shouldn t use google s chrome auto browse agentic ai or any other agentic ai from other firms various ai firms have launched so called ai browsers and in particular what are called agentic ai browser features and now google has announced they ve made massive ai upgrades to their chrome browser which is by far the most used web browser on this planet and these google gemini ai features are becoming available to different classes of users paying or not paying over time so you may not see some of them yet but you can feel pretty confident that eventually you will frankly i don t recommend voluntarily using any current generative ai products from any firms google is indeed trying to push their gemini ai into everything but right now i want to warn in particular about what google is calling chrome auto browse this is google s gemini agentic ai system and i ll cut right to the chase at the start here my very strong recommendation is even more so than with other ai features that you do not enable auto browse do not use it do not touch it and i have the same advice for any other agentic ai systems from other firms what these systems do is in various ways take over your web browsing the ai literally masquerades as you using your accounts and other credentials and clicks its way around the web to perform actions that normally you would do yourself the concept is that in theory you could just tell the ai to find the best deal for something on the web or book your vacation or clean up your duplicate photos or whatever and the ai agent would run around and do all this for you i m sure you already see why this has so many experts concerned because we all know how ai systems spout misinformation and get confused often can be manipulated in nefarious ways by hidden prompts on their inputs and so on a three year old has more common sense than ai because these ai systems have no common sense and we ve already seen stories of people devastated when using these agentic ai systems when the ai deleted all their files or took other just awful actions now here s the really important part it might be assumed that if these systems make terrible mistakes on your behalf using your accounts and credentials that the ai firms would take responsibility well think again google for example with their new chrome auto browse pops a warning saying explicitly that actions taken by their ai on your behalf are your responsibility if the ai screws up you get the shaft that s the whole ballgame as far as i m concerned and why i don t recommend using agentic ai at all these systems typically have settings that again in theory are supposed to let you control what sorts of actions they take what files of yours they have access to ...
