<p>Thoroughly unsurprising.</p><p>Now would be a great time to move to <a href="https://codeberg.org/">Codeberg</a>, <a href="https://sr.ht/">Sourcehut</a>, <a href="https://git.gay/">git.gay</a>, or <a href="https://gitlab.com/">GitLab</a>, or do what I did and spin up your own instance of something like Forgejo. Unless you can't because of your job, then maybe see if you can convince them to do the same.</p><p>Honestly at this point I feel like the common thread is just "divest from American tech vendors as much as you can".</p>

<p>An excellent expression of everything insufferable about the pervasive push for "AI", as well as the rot at the core of large swathes of the modern internet.</p><p>The irony of the term "Content" is that the actual <em>content</em> of the Content is broadly irrelevant.</p>

<p>The second half of the first video is what's really interesting to me. Try as I might, I can't come up with what (even superfluous) purpose some of those pings to Google could possibly be serving, and that's almost the creepiest part.</p><p>Oh wait, it's Chrome. I guess that explains it.</p>
