I will never use Gemini for this reason. The enshittification of Search is so treacherously disgraceful and user-hostile, that I have no faith that the same fate won't occur with Gemini as well.


Spot-on article. What's especially aggravating is the "skill-issue" meme that folks retort with when you make mention of this.


Absolutely not. People are not asking for dark patterns to engineer their behavior to maximize retention. This is like locking a kid in a room full of candy, and then blaming them for gorging themselves.


Wonder if they could use Google Takeout [1] to export all their YouTube data, and then try to search through the history data.

Well, I don't use a google account and use invidious and piped as proxies, so that's a no go for me.

It shouldn't be this hard to find something this specific on a video host with the worlds most powerful search engine bedded into it. It's gotten to the point where I archive and store links for anything I might want to find later, but I found this before I was of that mindset and I've wanted to share it with people. When search rot is worse than link rot there's a big problem.


do you have a link to the git guide?


The irony of a cookie popup showing up on the author’s blog..


Anyone have a link for this?



I would love an AI-enabled chat bot that transforms text -> diagrams. Diagram creation could still be a lot easier.

For example: "I want to show that the causes of burnout are the following 5 categories: 1) lack of purpose, 2) community breakdown, 3) ... " -> and then that gets turned into a diagram. Then an update like: "make lack of purpose more prominent" and it increases in size.

I would even settle for a transformer that converts natural language to one of the diagram syntax languages in the OP link.


This. It's east to be fooled by the illusion of choice and customization.

Just see what happens to other markets in maturity, e.g. food: https://bigthink.com/technology-innovation/10-companies-own-...

I still see the spirit of what the OP is saying, though. At least the AI will know if I like my Kraft Mac-n-cheese extra-creamy or dry.
