The web is not thriving for indie publishers. We can only hope Google doesn’t lose sight of small indie websites, and how *they* can earn a living in the AI era. That was the beauty of the Web 2.0 era — there were opportunities for *everyone* to thrive. I see Google, AI companies and big publishers like Reddit thriving in this era…but surely Google knows that isn’t enough for the broader web ecosystem to thrive.

AI is more likely to create a generation of ‘yes-men on servers’ than any scientific breakthroughs
Today’s large language models excel at producing plausible answers but lack the creativity to ask original scientific questions. Rather than building the next Einstein, Wolf said, we may be creating a generation of digital “yes-men.”

That seems like a low bar to meet for a preemptive attack on possibly dangerous facilities and where diplomacy was already taking place.
