    Google’s pivot to AI-powered search is proving disastrous for the digital news media landscape. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the company’s latest tools, including its wildly hallucinating AI Overviews and chatbot-style AI Mode, are causing the amount of traffic being sent to publishers to plummet as users no longer feel the need to click through to find out more. It’s an existential threat, especially for publications that primarily rely on ad impressions. News publications have been hit

    • RFK Jr continues to double down on his claim that there have been no placebo-controlled vaccine studies. He is doubling down on a lie. Thank you, Dr. Jake Scott, for identifying 258 randomized, controlled vaccine studies, 153 with a placebo control. https://t.co/bc1bWoxgC4
