☆ Sometimes to save the internet, you must eat glue

The glue pizza search result was traced back to a comment from a Redditor who went by "fucksmith" making an obvious joke on the subreddit r/Pizza. Because I'm both brave and a genius, naturally, I had to try to make the glue pizza myself. Was Google's response to tamp down its big AI search ambitions just because a few jokesters on X made silly queries? The ridiculousness of those AI answers does call into question the entire concept of using AI for Google search results. And I like to convince myself that my eating glue pizza was part of the noise that prompted Google to act.

☆ It's not just you — the TikTok Shop will show you literally anything
  + stars: | 2024-01-11 | by ( Katie Notopoulos | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
TikTok appears to heavily promote videos and livestreams that use Shop — even if what's on sale is junk. AdvertisementIf you've noticed your "For You" page on Tiktok has become overrun with posts and livestreams of TikTok Shop items you have little interest in, you're not alone. The TikTok Shop hard launched this fall. And unlike the regular FYP, which has an uncanny ability to predict what content you'll love, the TikTok Shop has a way of showing you stuff you don't love. That explains a lot about why your feed may be flooded with live streams and Shop posts for stuff as junky as a used pencil.

☆ Tech Companies Are Ruining Their Apps, Websites, Internet

Google, Amazon, Meta, and other tech companies have monetized confusion, constantly testing how much they can interfere with and manipulate users. Abandoning the core productIn the 2000s and early 2010s, tech companies actually produced new, interesting products. This fueled Silicon Valley's explosive growth: Companies saw their valuations soar, revenue growth was exponential, and new users were joining by the boatload. There are ways to integrate new technology into a core product that doesn't end in disaster. Netflix was able to iterate on their core product — letting people watch movies — in a way that actually made that experience better.
