Google has plunged the internet into a “spiral of decline”, the co-founder of the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) lab has claimed.
Mustafa Suleyman, the British entrepreneur who co-founded DeepMind, said: “The business model that Google had broke the internet.”
He said search results had become plagued with “clickbait” to keep people “addicted and absorbed on the page as long as possible”.
Information online is “buried at the bottom of a lot of verbiage and guff”, Mr Suleyman argued, so websites can “sell more adverts”, fuelled by Google’s technology.
You seem to be vastly underestimating the potential of even the tiniest bits of friction to stop potential users from being onboarded. Do you know what one of the biggest spikes in reddit users in history was? When they removed the requirement of direct registration. Eliminating five seconds of friction resulted in a massive influx of users
Unless you reach convenience parity, you’re not going to have nearly the same level of market penetration.
For someone who bandies about the potential of Dunning Krueger, you don’t seem very self aware. Maybe you shouldn’t be an ass or just assume everyone else here is an idiot.
you fundamentally don’t understand enough for me to even bother in this discussion. i’m not even talking about everyone individually loading their own LLMs. you don’t understand how having a model a fraction of the size that requires a fraction of the computing and energy costs to run would temper enshittification? AI haters are so fucking annoying.
You sure enjoy making bad faith assumptions. Good luck with that.
