  Key quote from this episode: “And everyone has known this is coming because I have been telling them it's coming for years and years and years when Google's traffic, when the amount of traffic you see coming to you from Google goes to zero. What is left of your business? Do you have one? Do you have an audience? Do you have anything at all? And if Google turns off the economic incentives for all of these people to make new information, what will Google summarize in the AI Overviews...

  The open social web - both #Fediverse and #Blusky /#Atmosphere owe @samir@m.fedica.com and @FedicaHQ@m.fedica.com a ton for their forward looking tools embracing the social web. Excited to see them launch 2.0 and am checking it out. https://www.producthunt.com/products/fedica?launch=fedica-2-0&__cf_chl_tk=55WEp6xTv7ocCzGLpguXXc4cDYMt00XZHI1sMFpQc8A-1784920780-1.0.1.1-bAtG01LtyEjzppCRHQ4UqfraR6piypIURfHOUpep224

  “We have traded a free internet for a collection of walled gardens. Today, a handful of digital landlords use algorithms to dictate our reality, while closed AI threatens to change the ways we connect. We are at a breaking point: we can either let gatekeepers continue to consolidate their power, or we can reclaim the open source spirit that built the web in the first place.” https://zeldman.com/2026/07/02/the-human-story-of-the-open-web/

  “In this talk, I am going to try and inspire you to make things that would be literally impossible to make on the centralized web. I am going to talk about both the advantages and disadvantages of doing this kind of thing. Expect to hear concrete examples of software that already exists, and also examples of software that could conceivably exist in the very near future.” https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/lets-play-and-win-our-own-game/953

  Scott Galloway said he thought #Bluesky "cute and adorable & will die a slow & painful death," while noting that was "just vibes I haven't looked at the data... "I think it is a better brand than a business right now." (While he does praise small, independent digital & newsletter platforms.) While some Fediverse folks might applaud such a dark view of Bluesky's outcome, my view is no one who cares about the open social web should root for their fa...

  “While Google still dominates the search market, users are increasingly turning to "No-AI search" alternates. The trend picked up speed in the weeks since Google I/O, where the search giant announced it would be putting more AI in the forefront.” https://cnb.cx/4eyRGm8

"As the link is not the same as currently-logged-in instance, it'll be "unfurl"-ed, almost like how we "guess" the post links, then fetch the remote API call. On a *collection* page itself, it's possible to use search API to unfurl the federated local collection ID, so switching between them is possible."

  Don't think it uses ATproto to do it's thing, but maybe inspired by some ideas.

  I'm still getting my head around how this would actually work: "co/core is a place where people share the compute they already own to run AI for each other, instead of renting from a handful of giant providers. It's an experiment in inference we build, share, and own together — and your existing code works as-is, because we speak the same standard API everything else does. The models are open ones that run on the hardware people already have. Every new user is granted 1m tokens...

  I like this a lot: "More true is to say that early internet champions were alive to the importance of the internet, and therefore both excited about the possibilities of the internet to deliver a world of connection, idiosyncrasy, love and solidarity; and about the danger of the internet as a dystopian system of surveillance and manipulation...

  This is not good on any front. It further centralizes our onramp to media, it creates fewer digital TV solutions on the market, and puts so much human data into Rupert's hands. "Fox to buy streaming pioneer Roku in a $22 billion deal...The deal will give Fox access to more than 100 million global households, along with the Roku channel and its first-party data.

  I co-wrote this with @WillRobinson@indieweb.social highlighting the recent Scottish election as a sign of what is coming our way: “The next generation of election disinformation may not come from a social media post at all.

  I like this whole article from Anil Dash, and especially thinking over this section... #AI #AgenticWeb "The Good AI? This isn't a comprehensive list, but it's possible to imagine some traits of an AI system that could credibly offer an alternative to the offerings that are currently dominating the conversation.
