Google is about to force its AI onto mobile users of Google Maps.While it may improve Google's AI usage stats, it's hard to see this not going horribly wrong. https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/360877016/gemini-ai-transform-google-maps-more-conversational-experience#GoogleMaps #Google #Enshittification
Tucking into this one because @pluralistic@mamot.fr told me I had to. I don't know how nuts it's going to be, but the first couple chapters start out with some truly wild stories.
Promoting because the author is not allowed to.

It is soooo satisfying to continue ditching/purging enshittified Microsoft, Adobe, etc. products for high quality open-source software without missing a beat. Things like LibreOffice, Gimp, OmniTools, etc.And to be clear, I’m a LaTeX person. I’ve never seriously used that weird thing called Word.#software #computersoftware #enshittification #opensource
