Google is dead.

60% of searches now end without a single click.

80% of users already trust AI summaries in search results.

Zero-click search is the new normal. Visibility must be built where answers are served in AI summaries, on social platforms, and through video.

I love rebellion with a stand ♥️

Bands like King Gizzard, Deerhoof, Hotline TNT & Xiu Xiu are pulling out of Spotify over Daniel Ek’s defense AI, called Helsing.

It’s not about royalties (they don’t get enough anyways), it’s about refusing war.

Musicians keep leaving Spotify in protest of CEO's defense investments
In the last few months, bands including Hotline TNT and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have pulled music from Spotify in a new wave of artist-led protests against the platform.

In my view, the risk isn’t weaker brains, it’s outsourcing the kinds of thinking we can’t afford to lose, like judgment, creativity, and reflection.

FINALLY

mmBERT proves that multilingual AI can scale beyond the “big 10 languages.” Imagine a digital world where Faroese, Greenlandic or Danish have equal access to search, knowledge and innovation.

That’s not just progress — that’s blue sky-like potential in my mind

What a Napster moment

It costs’ Anthropic $1.5B. 500k authors cash out at $3k each for pirated book data. Fair use if you buy, illegal if you steal.

Painful precedent.

I wonder what will happen to OpenAI and Google

I’m in favour

efficiency wins over human touch

370k private chats leaked to Google/Bing due to terrible "share" feature - passwords, medical info, illegal content all searchable

Ex-engineer allegedly stole entire Grok source code, uploaded it to OpenAI servers, then sold $7M in xAI stock

Talk about having a bad "grok" week 😬

Today, Denmark hides real company owners from public view following EU Court ruling from 2022. Only lawyers, banks get access via bureaucratic hurdles.

EU chose “privacy” over transparency despite ongoing money laundering scandals.

Public trust requires insight into ownership.

RAG vs fine-tuning LLMs aren't the same thing.

Simple difference:
RAG = knowledge
Fine-tuning = language

Want a bot with internal company knowledge? Build RAG.
Want one that speaks like your customer service? Consider fine-tuning.

Start with RAG - it solves your actual problem!

Denmark’s Culture Minister: “If you want to use other people’s rights, you need permission and a license - especially for AI on European level.”

Finally! Tech giants train AI on stolen music, then flood us with AI slop competing against the original artists.

And now with the EU presidency in mind

The EU wants to scan ALL your private messages, even encrypted ones. WhatsApp, Signal… nothing is safe.

They call it Chat Control. I call it a state surveillance.

The next step might as well be mass surveillance.
