Google Zero in the NYT - thanks @kateconger.com ;) www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/t...
Nilay Patel, the editor in chief of the technology website The Verge, has warned publishers for years that they would face "Google Zero," a moment when traffic from Google would plummet to nothing.
"For publishers, Google Zero is already here," he said. "It wasn't until AI Mode arrived that people could see that the slow creep was about to hit a tipping point."

July 1935 German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath to the Weimer constitution was void and that they would be required to swear a personal oath to the Fuhrer. Most took the new oath. Sounds familiar? # Pete Hegseth # Ted Cruz #Trump

we know what elon musk is really into and it's fashion: "AI fashion show contest [flame emoji flame emoji]"
a screenshot of a post on Elon Musk's X account on 08/20/2025. Musk has written "AI fashion show contest" followed by two orange-flame emoji for emphasis. He is re-posting and boosting attention to a post from a user numed "Maria Rubtsova" or "@dreamfallart" - She writes "My favorite one is @grok" with sparkle emoji, "and yours?" with eyes looking sideways emoji for emphasis. She includes an animation of a busty platinum blonde in a corset with the OpenAI logo on it -- the character is walking on a runway... The caption of this animated clip says "AI models as AI [sparkle emoji] models"
