  • Google I/O 2026 And Its Consequences

    Jump

  • 2026’s Google I/O (Google’s annual developer conference) has been a disaster for the web. The conference-driven development’s forcing through of the Prompt API, a set of Modern Web Guidance skills for AI systems to use that are already showing major accessibility shortcomings, and a whole ton more AI-spangled sloppery, is rushed and unwelcome.

    I think the most damaging announcement is the changes coming to Google Search. Rather than a list of relevant links, a search on Google will be more aggressively prioritising the LLM-generated summary, now complete with vibecoded tables, graphs, and interactive elements.

    There has until now been a social contract. Website owners let Google scrape their sites and present them in Google Search, and, in exchange, Google Search sends traffic back to those sites. Google wins via adverts on the search page, and sites win due to however they monetise traffic. More largely, everyone wins because there is a financial incentive to create and produce new content.

    However, Google killing their side of the contract ends this. If Google only takes and never gives, then sites cannot profit. What is the incentive to publish if the only outcome is feeding Google’s AI with no return? What sources will LLMs have to pull from if all the sources are defunct? How far will Google go folding adverts into their AI output?

    I can see the huge short-term gain for Google, but I see no long-term path – not even an unsustainable one. This feels like the end, but of exactly what I’m uncertain.

    All of my peers (bar the ones that work at Google) are shattered in a way I’ve never seen before. I don’t know where we go from here.

  • Why Trump Lost. The president failed to deliver on his Iran bluster, and in the end fooled only himself.

    Jump

  • The second surprising thing about Trump’s impending defeat is that he does not seem to have cared at all about the only evident reason to resume fighting in 2026: the Iranian people’s rebellion against their brutal oppressors. Trump has never given any evidence of caring about Iranian democracy or human rights. He promised the Iranian people “Help is on the way” on January 13, but military operations did not commence until thousands were dead and the rebellion was already effectively crushed. During military operations, Trump made clear that he sought a deal with the existing regime. He made no effort to support or cooperate with Iranian dissidents before, during, or after the uprising.

    What’s . . . ugh . . . What’s so upsetting about this “surprising thing” from The Atlantic, supposedly an outlet for literate people who know more than jack shit is how insane it is.

    Later in the article, they correctly identify his arrogance, his conman sensibilities, his lack of competence. And yet they actually waste the ink to wonder why he doesn’t give a shit about anyone other than himself. They’re “surprised” he doesn’t care about human rights?

    For fuck’s sake - what the fuck, The Atlantic? You don’t actually believe that, why even write it?? Who is that supposed to be for??
