When Google’s slop meets webslop, search stops: pluralistic.net/2025/07/15/inh…

A very good article on awful Google AI search results and how Google have ruined their own reputation by wrecking their workforce, by @pluralistic. A quote:

'Publishers and advertisers have more concentrated money than readers, but the dominant theory of antitrust since the Reagan administration is something called "consumer welfare," which holds that monopolistic conduct is only to be condemned if it makes consumers worse off. If a company screws its workers or suppliers in order to deliver better products and/or better prices, then "consumer welfare" holds that the government should celebrate and protect the monopolist for improving "efficiency."

But all that is true only if Google AI Overviews are good. And they are very, very bad.'

Don't use Google for search.

This part of the article is very enlightening from a worker perspective, especially when Google upper management have relatively recently fired around 10,000 workers:

'Once Google stops growing, it becomes a "mature" company and its PE ratio will fall from 20:1 to something more like 4:1, meaning an 80% collapse in the company's share price. This would be very bad news for Googlers (whose personal wealth is disproportionately tied up in Google stock) and for Google itself (because many of its key personnel will depart when the shares they've banked for retirement collapse, and new hires will expect to be paid in scarce dollars, not abundant stock). For a company like Google, "maturity" is unlikely to be a steady state – rather, it's likely to be a prelude to collapse.

Which is why Google is so desperately sweaty to maintain the narrative about its growth.'

Reading this article now. "Housefresh released its latest report on Google's enshittification, this time with an emphasis on the "AI Overviews" that now surmount every search results page."

It also strikes me that that AI overview is also likely an attempt to supplant Wikipedia's place in the digital landscape, since that's the actually-somewhat-reliable thing that would come up in that position otherwise.

Which I'm sure Google would be •just fine• with....

Finished reading Tress of the Emerald Sea, and was good, even if not what I was expecting. How much is a Cosmere book? I don't know; if it wasn't written as a fairy tale, may be it would have landed better. 3/5 for me.

My 7th book of 2025, but no way I'll read 24 like previous years.

Next one in the queue: Attack Surface by @pluralistic -- looking forward to it, loved Little Brother and Homeland.

"This truth may be unfashionable, unpalatable, no doubt unpopular, but, if it is the truth, the story of mankind shows that war was universal and unceasing for millions of years before armaments were invented or armies organized. Indeed, the lucid intervals of peace and order only occurred in human history after armaments in the hands of strong governments have come into being, and civilization in every age has been nursed only in cradles guarded by superior weapons…

"A single Google search requires half a millilitre of water, while ChatGPT consumes 500 millilitres for every five to 50 prompts. Multiply these figures by billions of daily interactions, add streaming services and cloud storage, and the result is staggering: data centre water consumption has reached crisis levels, with some facilities using more water annually than entire cities."

"According to industry data, a 1-megawatt data centre can consume up to 25.5 million litres of water annually just for cooling – equivalent to the daily water consumption of approximately 300,000 people. To put this in perspective, a medium-sized 15-megawatt data centre consumes as much water annually as either three average-sized hospitals or more than two 18-hole golf courses."

"Hyperscale facilities operated by companies like Google demonstrate the true scale of the challenge. Google’s data centres average 550,000 gallons (2.1 million litres) daily, totalling approximately 200 million gallons (760 million litres) annually per facility. Microsoft’s global operations consumed nearly 6.4 million cubic metres of water (approximately 1.69 billion gallons) in their most recent reporting year – a 34% increase from the previous year."
