And if you build cheap housing and there is no one to live in it, what is the purpose? China has hundreds of thousands of empty units? Entirely empty cities?
I don't think people mind having bigger spaces but market is not clearing. In the US you have slums and bombed out building shells in prime urban locations as well. It is fascinating how human expectations work against each other.
If you read the article it's clear that his strategy is more Pro Poland and less Pro EU. He's worried that the EU laws allowing free immigration and the erasure of their traditional values is a long term issue.
As soon as Poland leaves the EU they become an easier target for Russia. This plays right in their hands.
Put it's not surprising, Trump has been licking Putin's boots since day 0
You are joking right? The NYT has been nothing but a democratic mouthpiece for at least 10 years. Try and find any article critical of Biden... or any other Democrat. Then look at the number critical of republicans. It's not even close. The NY Post is the exact opposite. Maybe you've got them mixed up?
True, but there's probably many ways to do this and unless AI content starts falsifying tons of its metadata (which I'm sure would have other consequences), there's definitely a way.
Plus other sites that link to the content could also give away it's date of creation, which is out of the control of the AI content.
I have heard of a forum (I believe it was Physics Forums) which was very popular in the older days of the internet where some of the older posts were actually edited so that they were completely rewritten with new content. I forget what the reasoning behind it was, but it did feel shady and unethical. If I remember correctly, the impetus behind it was that the website probably went under new ownership and the new owners felt that it was okay to take over the accounts of people who hadn't logged on in several years and to completely rewrite the content of their posts.
If it's just using Google search "before <x date>" filtering I don't think there's a way to game it... but I guess that depends on whether Google uses the date that it indexed a page versus the date that a page itself declares.
None of these documents were actually published on the web by then, incl., a Watergate PDF bearing date of Nov 21, 1974 - almost 20 years before PDF format got released. Of course, WWW itself started in 1991.
Google Search's date filter is useful for finding documents about historical topics, but unreliable for proving when information actually became publicly available online.
Are you sure it works the same way for documents that Google indexed at the time of publication? (Because obviously for things that existed before Google, they had to accept the publication date at face value).
Yes, it works the same way even for content Google indexed at publication time. For example, here are chatgpt.com links that Google displays as being from 2010-2020, a period when Google existed but ChatGPT did not:
So it looks like Google uses inferred dates over its own indexing timestamps, even for recently crawled pages from domains that didn't exist during the claimed date range.
"Gamed quite easily" seems like a stretch, given that the target is definitionally not moving. The search engine is fundamentally searching an immutable dataset that "just" needs to be cleaned.
How? They have an index from a previous date and nothing new will be allowed since that date? A whole copy of the internet? I don't think so.... I'm guessing, like others, it's based on the date the user/website/blog lists in the post. Which they can change at any time.
