@SteveRudolfi I read it and I’m not sure I understand: can they do this to ANY website? like a .gov website as well as Aunt May’s “mycutegrandkids.com” website? imagine the Mayo Clinic’s site being taken over and re-assembled with whatever google thinks you wanted to find for medical advice…..

@SteveRudolfi I hate that last line "The question isn’t how to stop this from happening, it’s how to make sure your parts are the ones AI wants to work with." Like nah bro, I'm good. I don't want to just lay down and let this bullshit take over without a fight.

@SteveRudolfi, ugh. Also, whoever wrote that doesn't know that “maybe” is not “may be”)…

@SteveRudolfi Direct link to the patent https://patents.google.com/patent/US12536233B1/en The Forbes article is too narrow imo. This seems like it's going to be marketed as "making sites easier to navigate" or for "previews" so one "doesn't have to click through." I will bet that this is going to be used for their "agent mode" or "AI mode" that keeps becoming more prominent in the tabs. Like "this blogger has a bunch of queer content, and we've determined that you don't like that so here's an option to generate one tailored to your worldview that shows you only the parts you want while hiding the rest" Or "this storefront doesn't have easy to find buttons, would you like your agent to buy this for you?" I'm too sleepy to write up a whole thing, but I don't think it's going to be simple. Rather it has much more potential for widespread damage to how folks engage with what's left of the internet.
