  • Google is replacing search results with only the AI

  • Then you can just block the user agent in nginx or whatever you use, like all the other AI scrapers who ignore robots.txt (*cough* Amazon)

  • Andy Burnham to back electoral reform if he becomes prime minister

    Jump

  • It's funny, for years the wisdom was that an economically left wing and culturally right wing party would be unbeatable, but Labour tries to be exactly that and Starmer becomes the most unpopular PM since records began.

  • Andy Burnham to back electoral reform if he becomes prime minister

    Jump

  • Didn't he say he wasn't going to do this because he believes it has to be a manifesto commitment?

  • Abortion is becoming a new front in Reform UK’s culture war

    Jump

  • I don’t know what “Assad levels of support” is or how that’s relevant.

    It's a simile.

    If you look at another study, it shows opposition at 40%

    That's just a poll of people in Northern Ireland and it doesn't ask the same questions as the YouGov poll I linked. The date in the article header is also wrong, this article is from 2017, you can tell from the URL and it's appearance in the Wayback Machine.

    This consultation by Ulster University and Queen's University Belfast shows that 71% of people from NI believe it's a woman's right to choose (data is from 2018).

    Jump

  • The point is that there's going to be no difference, soon Google search will be just another chatbot interface.

  • Google is replacing search results with only the AI

    Jump

  • Information-gathering agents are an evolution of Google Alerts. Beyond spotting changes, they can make sense of them, too.

    … Links will become an afterthought with the coming changes to the Search results experience.

    Web publishers should honestly just block googlebot at this point. Why should they provide credibility to whatever Google's stochastic parrot hallucinates if Google won't even give them any kickback?

    So what do we search with instead of Google? There isn’t a lot of choice. There’s various flavours of Google or Bing.

    Microsoft deprecated their Bing API back in August, instead telling people to use some Azure AI thing. DDG and the like weren't affected because they have contracts, but I can't imagine they'll be renewed.

  • Former UK pirate radio station sorry after mistakenly announcing death of King Charles

    Jump

  • Yeah, but we get a time off if he kicks the bucket.

  • Seagull leaves it's mark on King as he visits seaside resort

    Jump

  • At least they didn't shit on his hair like they did to me on Saturday.

  • Jewish man in hospital after attack by group of men

    Jump

  • A Jewish man stepped outside to “make a phone call” and just by pure chance a group of antisemitic thugs happened to be walking past and instinctively somehow knew this man was Jewish

    He was speaking Hebrew, that's how they identified him as Jewish.

    beat him up so lightly that the police could interview the victim within 6 minutes of the incident and proceeded to not take him to the hospital so he visited of his own volition?

    It's a populated area of London, they likely couldn't do more before people intervened.

  • Who is James Murray, the new health secretary replacing Wes Streeting?

    Jump

  • It's impressive that Labour found another gay man who's willing to throw trans people under the bus to be Health Secretary.

  • I'd be against working with the Tories nationally, but Reform are so nakedly corrupt and incompetent on the local level that I'm not against coalition building locally.
