Kind of breaking news... The Guardian will no longer post from any editorial X account, including @GuardianAus.

All accounts are dormant as of now. https://t.co/vNKGqsDBHP

Here's a thing. #Bluesky adds 700,000 new members as users seek refuge from Tw+r after the US election https://t.co/T3uJiubMqa

One stat that puts the idea of AI search into context, based on a Bank of America-Merrill Lynch report: emerging AI platforms/sites, of which Perplexity and Claude are just the two largest, get the same amount of traffic in a day Google gets in 4 minutes 20 seconds

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.

The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

‘We’re going to come after people in the media’, a potential Trump pick for FBI director or attorney general has said.

“We will stand up to these threats, but it will take brave, well-funded independent journalism,” writes editor-in-chief Katharine Viner https://t.co/sTELe9BBBn

In his speech declaring victory, Trump called media "the enemy camp". But not all media. Just media that aren't sympathetic to him. https://t.co/ZPH5LfMLNe

Reddit ranks #2 for "best air fryer"

The top comment contains an affiliate link to Amazon (pointing to an out of stock product) from a Redditor who is - shocker - leaving comments with affiliate links all over Reddit.

"Authentic human conversations" indeed.

Google's AI Overviews: 0 links to Retro Dodo, for a branded search.

ChatGPT Search: 4 links to the company's own site, plus a link to its YouTube channel.

Interesting turn of events today for small publishers.

We're hiring! We need a Senior Editorial Analytics Manager to lead a talented team helping the Guardian use data responsibly and impactfully in the newsroom. Upside is it's a brilliant job in a brilliant place. Downside is that you'd have to work with me https://t.co/Xbd0TxrTQ8

[Dave Earley @earleyedition]

@GuardianAus On this one the #aioverview links🔗 reference @guardianaus twice and pulls from across three paragraphs in the copy

Google started testing #AIOverviews here in Sept, but I'd never seen one until last night. Turns out they're fully rolled out in Australia now (Google blog: https://t.co/jHmpuk6kaE ) and pulling @GuardianAus content — but not our "news" content that I've seen (and shouldn't)

@GuardianAus Noticed lifestyle type queries were getting #AIO, so tried this and it 'worked' immediately as I suspected it might. AIO using @GuardianAus's Closet Clinic series on many of the relevant searches for those pieces
