Oh... www.semrush.com/blog/ai-chat...

AI chatbots talked 57.5% of AI users out of buying
We surveyed 2,338 US consumers: 65% of AI users have replaced some product-related Google searches with chatbots, and 4 in 10 dislike chatbot ads.

@jamesomalley.co.uk love the pod - but one small point... whilst saying we need UK / EU datacenters and models you guys spent a whole pod promoting US models and AI rather than promoting European and UK ones... Come on, guys...!!!!

The Media must stop referring to Reform as a political party. Its a private company bankrolled by offshore crypto billionaires and hedge fund managers, controlled by a single man with a multi-decade career politician. Call it what it is.

Let's continue this topic with some ecumenical musicians. 1. Johann Sebastian Bach Bach is often thought of as purely Lutheran, but his work quietly integrates multiple Christian musical traditions—Catholic forms (like the Mass), Lutheran chorales, Italian concerto styles, French dance rhythms.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

I heard a teaser for the TRIP special on AI by @rory-stewart.bsky.social saying that the LLMs only.come from the US or China. This is simply not true. French model provider Mistral often is at the top of the leaderboards. Swiss Apertus leads on being an ethical LLM built without stealing IP.
