Archie, the Internet’s first search engine, is rescued and running:

A journey through busted tapes, the Internet Old Farts Club, and SPARCstations.
It's amazing, and a little sad, to think that something created in 1989 that changed how people used and viewed the then-nascent Internet had nearly vanished by 2024.

🧵 …nun gibt es auch einen Artikel auf Deutsch zum obigen Thema. Vor Google gab es einige Suchmaschienen davor aber die hier erwähnte, war die erste im Internet.

»Das war die erste Suchmaschine des Internets:

Remember when tech CEOs whipped us into a frenzy about generative AI changing everything? Those days are long gone.

Google and OpenAI’s latest demos show the bubble is deflating, but they’re still going to seize as much power as they can before the crash.

Google is adding "an AI-generated summary at the top of many of their search results"

If Google AI pulls detailed answers directly into the search page, the less likely you are to visit other sites.

Better for Google. Worse for the external sites, yeah? Or am I missing something?

It's June 10, 2024, at 4:00 PM Central US time. Almost every blind person that owns an iPhone has installed the iOS 18 beta. Some are playing retro games with the new, AI driven screen recognition. Others are gladly using DecTalk as their main voice, the Enhanced Siri voices that use ML to speak using emotion and context, as their reading voice, Eloquence as their notification voice (sent to one ear to minimize distractions), and finding it amazing that VoiceOver emphasizes italic text, and emboldens bold text. Others are finding it amazing that they can navigate their whole phone using Braille screen input, searching to find things by typing a few letters, or just swiping down through everything. A few are connecting their multi-line Braille displays, and feeling app icons and images, made much more understandable through touch, using an AI filter.

The next day, when news of all these features filters down to Android users, they quickly begin hammering Google, wanting DecTalk and Eloquence on their Pixel phones, like iOS users have. But Google is silent as always, only just now having given Chromebook users high quality Google TTS voices.

Note: great liberty has been taken to imagine the coolest outcome for the vague feature announcements Apple gave for VoiceOver users. We'll see just how cool, or not, they actually are on June 10.

Being able to remotely lock a phone you don't have credentials for using just a phone number? What could possibly go wrong?

Chromebooks already have great screen reading capabilities built in...

Awww Google, how cute of you. Great? Nope. Next time, remember. Nothing about us, without us. ChromeVox has barely been updated in years, just like VoiceOver for Mac, and Narrator. ChromeVox barely has any options for fine-tuning verbosity, keyboard commands, pronunciation, and some keyboard commands, like Search + Control + A for accessibility actions, aren't even well-documented. I should know. I had to use an Acer Spin 713 for a good 3 months as my primary laptop. So kindly stop talking, then ask, then act before you speak further.

"Updated keyboard shortcuts and first-letters navigation in Google Drive"...

First letters navigation? Come on. Any blind person can tell that this wasn't written by anyone who uses these technologies.

And nowhere in this article is anything new for ChromeVox. See? This is the kind of, frankly, bullshit that I hate on GAAD. Just shut your mouth and listen for once.

Google play has not yanked Magic 2014 and 2015 from downloading (they are in my library), but 2014 is unplayable due to the market not working. I used to get the version from Amazon App Store, but this is now removed!?! IS this even legal!!! There is no way to access my purchase anymore!

Piracy? "If purchase isn't ownership, then piracy isn't theft"

I have receipts that show I am supposed to have it!

The only useful aspect of Google's "Help me write" AI feature is that since admits the text that you write can be reviewed by humans (don't say anything personal), this feature could be used in a contest. See who can submit witty enough missives to "Help me write" so that the likely minimum wage workers who have to spend their days reviewing this crap will do spit takes all over their screens.

Google showed off new business AI solutions while promoting their water cooled data centers. Now we find out Microsoft is not only failing to meet their carbon emissions goal, their emissions are actually UP 30%.
I just don't see how this era of cloud AI is going to be a sustainable business model...

I remember the days when people were furious Google was scanning their emails to serve ads. Now we’ve reached the point that everything you send and receive is being filtered through its AI model and you’re expected to love it.

🚨"Looting The Internet:

Last wk, #Meta revealed (in a motion tried to dismiss: FTC anti-mon. lawsuit) that IG made $32.4B in 2021 ad rev. -shocking -consider #Google's YouTube made $28.8B -same period. App made ~30% of Meta's entire rev. in the early part of 2022. 96% of Meta's $40.1B Q4 2023 rev. came from ads +made >$100B since 2021 -likely to continue -only thing these platforms care about is rev.⬆️. In America, 83% of adults use YouTube, 68%: IG: 47%."

This Verge piece highlights challenges with #AI and search. When you #Google a business capability, AI will give an authoritative result that is not authoritative — possibly a hallucination — like an AI-recommended electrician or doctor. There will be no click-through to a site, so Google won’t know it surfaced garbage. Consumers need to evaluate results. Also, new entrants will be excluded from recommendations, maybe for a lack of Google Business reviews used as weights.
