I gave up on Spotify as I started to listen to more podcasts which had their own ads inside them let alone Spotify's. Now I'm paying for Youtube (never thought I'd be doing that) and using the new(ish) jump ahead feature to s

This is a long long log fuelled by your very obtuse way of talking to Gemini. It's matching your tone, and feeding your loaded questions with loaded answers to fit your narrative. I don't see any threats, I likely missed them in m

I know the guidelines tell us to flag spam and not respond but honestly - fuck off with this spamvertising crap.

I cannot wait for Oatly's next marketing campaign that lampoons this decision. This does nothing to stop the rise of dairy alternatives, nor should it. Nobody is going to stop asking for oat/soy/nut milk when putting in their

Hybrids were a good idea, past tense. Every year since the first commercial EVs launched they've become a weaker proposition. They're no longer a best of both worlds, good overall range, not as bad for the environment. They'r

From your homepage: "AI Writting assistant" I wouldn't trust any tool that can't spellcheck their own website.

How do you guarantee exposure when nobody visits the site?

Article gave me a chuckle, been in this exact situation multiple times. However, it's not GTM's fault, at all. GTM gives marketers a very powerful suite of tools that they normally have to rely on devs for. In fact it gives them s

This activity would trigger Google's Spambrain algorithm and ensure the backlinks were fully ignored. Depending on the volume (100k is a lot) a human check may be made and result in a manual action against the site which would lower di

Why would it make no sense? Like many bills/acts, it came into effect in stages. You're referring to new laws/crimes that came into effect in January 2024. I'm referring to the Act's powers to compel companies to ac

Because he implemented it under his tenure in July 2025. He didn't come up with it, he spearheaded its actual implementation. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

This further exposes just how pointless and ill-thought out the Online Safety Act was in the UK. It does nothing to actually limit harm at the source, and empower the UK's public body's to take immediate action. Ironic that the mi

Clickbait rubbish. Title is misleading, deliberately so. Reading the article shows: TITLE: More Than 60% of Consumers Now Start Daily Tasks With AI 2 statements from the article: 1) "More than 60% of consumers used a dedicated AI platf

"Future interfaces will be text-based." Wrong. As the article even admits, multimodal AI turns imagery into text values for analysis (or even tokens/vectors). Sure, current AI bot crawlers are not multimodal for speed and cos

“Every single piece of the ad has been hand-held and art-directed—almost as though the AI is an animation tool,” Saunders said. “…It actually has required more work.” ...then just make a normal filmed ad? If you're spending more time a

The Nazi Party used the term "Socialist" in its name primarily for propaganda purposes to attract votes from the working class and to co-opt a popular political term in post-World War I Germany. In practice and ideology, Nazism wa

Copilot is basically just whitelabelled ChatGPT. It's a big ask for people to use it over the source system. ChatGPT gets the headlines, is seen as an innovator, and costs less. Copilot offers what? A physical button on a Windows keybo

Blocking IP ranges is just whack-a-mole though right? Glad you got the site back up but this necessitates a high level of vigilance going forward. Can a softer throttling approach work? Rate limit the naughty IPs when they go over a thresho

Laptop brands are still trying to get away with 8GB RAM machines for general use, and especially at that value point of $200 you'll probably see 2-4GB models too. You have a niche use-case but RAM does indeed appear to be the main bott

Github connect is 404ing. Email signup says it generates a code then... nothing. Would love to try it, but can't get past signup.

"unforeseen" == "we forgot to do a simple Google search for the brand name before we committed to it" Branding 101, check Google, check trademarks, check urban dictionary.

I agree to be fair. I see Softbanks move as just wise strategy. Nvidia's growth won't be uncapped. I wouldn't be surprised if they reinvest some of that money into AMD or similar, as those companies play catch up. AMD is brin

There is an AI bubble narrative, people are curious when it will burst. This is an indicator that people will want to analyse, discuss, and think about (intellectually).

You're moving the goalposts and contradicting yourself with language games. Something doesn't need to learn to think. I think all the time without learning. There's also an argument for machines already starting to crack lear

There's https://labs.google.com/pomelli/about/ which is pretty much exactly what you describe. It does do prompt in, image out but also accepts your brand from a URL, and then allows for remixing and tweaking

No advertising platform is going to charge per sale on these kinds of ads. That requires the platform to trust the customer to report accurate sales metrics. Sales/conversion metrics have been around for decades in ad systems, it'

The lady got the fine reversed and an apology. The local council was humiliated by the whole affair. There are many ways to describe the British government, "all-powerful" is not one of them.

Yes, the woke new laws from checks notes 35 years ago. Sure, the world has gone mad. It's a common sense law to prevent businesses and individuals from overwhelming public storm drains. Was it excessive to apply it to a person dumpin
