Genuinely quite upset that I now have to live the rest of my life asking if things are AI or not actually.

Very happy to say @withcandour.co.uk is a Scholarship Sponsor for @womenintechseo.bsky.social Fest in London next year. This helps cover the cost of tickets for those that otherwise might not be able to attend 🫶

Just asked Gemini 3 about some things for kids to do in NYC and it quickly plotted all the answers onto an interactive Google Maps interface. Instant connection to Google Maps = huge advantage, in my opinion

SEO AND GEO!!! 🤘 youtu.be/tSHJQE_vLoI?...

GREAT.

This is where we're at. Also OMG I WANNA WATCH GOOD FORTUNES LIKE RIGHT NOW 🐘

"We are building the most powerful, inscrutable, uncontrollable technology that we have ever invented that's already demonstrating the rogue behaviours that we thought only existed in bad sci fi movies." www.youtube.com/watch?v=675d...

There are few things more calming than listening to my daughter humm around the house 🥰🎶

Do citations really matter as much as mentions do? Are the LLMs really all the same sort of thing? It is messier than everyone makes it out to be. Which is why @nickleroy.com 👩‍💻 @jessjoyce.bsky.social Joyce, and I are teaming up with @semrushofficial.bsky.social to have an eye-level chat!

FTC orders AI companies to hand over info about chatbots’ impact on kids

The last few months have been the most impactful by 404 Media yet. Stopping ICE data access; triggering changes at AI companies, more. We continue to be the most impactful tech outlet on the internet, and our subscribers let us do this work. Here are some of those recent examples:

Hey Doug Ford (Premier of Ontario, who's a useless piece of junk) isn't here - so great time to share with everyone that the documentary about his brother Rob Ford, aptly named "Trainwreck: Mayor of Mayhem" is out *today* on Netflix. www.netflix.com/ca/title/817...

"I hear the teenagers are into Snapchat" - me. A literal sentence that came out of my mouth. OMG 🫠 👩‍🦳

The Internet Archive has rolled out an extremely effective new tool for searching for old Geocities GIFs. I'd apologize for what I'm about to do to this website as a result, but that would be a lie, because I won't feel sorry at all gifcities.org

Just talked to someone who's going back to school for "funeral direction" cause it's AI proof. That's where we're at.

While many SEOs attempt to rebrand SEO for AI and write verbosely about the complexities of how it works, optimizing for Google's AI experiences isn't much different from how effective SEO is done today. coywolf.com/news/seo/goo... #SEO

"How many Canadians are on the Florida Panthers?" Google vs Chat. Informational query, zero conversion so just give me the answer pls. I like Chat's answer better honestly :D

Spring appointment booking season 🗓️

The area I live in is psyched about Hummingbird🐦 migration and Bluesky I'm here for it. It's brought me so much joy. WELCOME HUMMINGBIRDS🐦

LLMs devoured huge amounts of info and "learned" what topics and brands vibe together. They'll only name drop your brand when the specific thing they're writing about hits a point where mentioning you is actually contextually relevant based on their mapped out patterns. No relevance, no mention.

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. ("Hard mode" no Star Wars, Star Trek or LOTR)

First time this has happened. I use visual search all the time now (Google lens) and this one surprised me! I think they're cat & jack sandals? Pic is clear and just of the sandals but nada 😔

After a long bit of toiling, we're proud to announce the launch of Gander Social—a project to bring a new kind of social to Canadians. Canadian owned and hosted, a feed you control, privacy-first, consent-based, respectful by default. Join the Early Access program: gandersocial.ca

👀 Google just announced the ultimate ccTLD to gTLD consolidation and they're going to redirect all their Google ccTLDs to google(.)com over the next months. They've clarified this won't affect how search works though! Announcement: blog.google/products/sea...

love a boost like this :D

Up we go! 🎉

The team put this together to calm everyone down a bit with all the change going on :)

Check out the newest episode of the New Growth Show, where @tiffanydasilva.bsky.social and @jessjoyce.bsky.social explore the challenges of navigating careers in the tech industry, share personal experiences of vulnerability, and discuss the importance of mental health 💙

Google can literally "enhance" It's part of what they're adding to Pixel 8's & with OpenAI adding image generation + midjourney "Upscaling" = it's all wild. We've come so far from CSI/SuperTroopers "enhance" to point you can... actually do that? blog.google/products/pho...

Looking for rain boots and one has completely taken over my internet 🫠

I was curious what the “related queries” were for the search term “AI Overviews” over the past year in Google Trends. Oh.

Researched Google's New AI Mode So You Don't Have To 🚀 Evaluated hundreds of AI Mode outputs across user intents & here's what you NEED to know: 🔍 It's genuinely AI-powered - the same query "cheap flights" produced seemingly endless variations of output text ranging from 370 to 449 words!

everything's computer

The man himself @trondizzle.bsky.social of @betakit.com is on @canadaland.com today. Worthwhile listen during the chaos ATM 🇨🇦 (also the ad for douglas mattress & douglas being ON the podcast is teeheeheee) www.canadaland.com/podcast/1118...

I've been sick and watched a lot of videos on AI this weekend. My opinion still is humans > AI. All day. Am I using AI? Omg yes. But there's too much nuance and context and humanity to just hand over decisions to an AI.

Mike Myers on SNL. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Movie you watched more than 6 times, gifs only.
