Having too many options can also be a blocker and sometimes makes sense to narrow them down 🤪

This is obviously the right decision.
It should spark a wider conversation about social media platforms. We clearly can't - and shouldn't - just rely on the responsibility of the owners.

Good experiment: "Almost every AI I tested used the fake info-some eagerly, some reluctantly. The lesson is: in AI search, the most detailed story wins, even if it’s false. This isn’t about dunking on AI, but these tools are being used as answer engines."

I Ran an AI Misinformation Experiment. Every Marketer Should See the Results
I built a fake brand and tricked 8 AI search engines for 2 months. The results show how any real brand can be poisoned, and how to fight back.

Another great predictions episode! Interesting and a bit hot take in this episode on #AI in #OpenSource: "LLMs generating #OSS slop makes proprietary code more attractive, because you have a person behind it, with provenance and quality associated with it..." 🔥
New year, new Oxide and Friends predictions episode! @bcantrill.bsky.social and I were joined by @simonwdc.bsky.social and @steveklabnik.com to predict 1, 3, and 6 years into the future. Winners from previous years? Apple in and out of the VR/AR business? Looking prescient! Agents not a thing? Sure!

Google Search AI hallucinations push Google to hire "AI Answers Quality" engineers
AI, including AI Overviews on Google Search, can hallucinate and often make up stuff or offer contradicting answers when asked in two different ways.

I'll say here what I left unstated in my @monktoberfest.com talk: AWS in particular is in a state of cultural collapse because they have done exactly this -- and their RTO mandate has served to decimate organizational trust.
Another awesome @monktoberfest.com talk by @bcantrill.bsky.social ! It's absolutely worth watching the whole talk, but I think the last bit is great way to wrap up, where Bryan talks about broken institutional and organisational trust using RTO example:
