Google thinks Shorts-style videos in the Play Store will supercharge app discovery

So we will be bombarded with Tiktoks all day long? I am beginning to think Ted Kaczynski was right.

@Gators1 “It will render dozens of coal fired power plants obsolete”
Otherwise said: It will render dozens of wind turbines obsolete…Now if they could only make batteries that thin and powerful.

Tigger would have never got his PhD without calculator! It’s like the ChatGPT for mathematicians.

TikTok has quietly been inserting Wikipedia snippets into search results
The company says the feature has been live for months.

An open source, non-profit, search engine with beautifully minimalist search results that returned exactly the only 6 links that exist on the obscure topic I just tested it with.
