When I read that some conversations with ChatGPT had appeared in Google searches, I did a search for “Doc Searls” ChatGPT and got a long and not-bad but not entirely accurate AI summary below which normal-ish search results appeared. When I went back later to do the same search, the results were different. I tried the exercise again in another browser and got entirely different results. I also found no trace of personal chats with ChatGPT surfacing on Google. But with returns diminishing that fast, why bother?
What I did come to realize, quickly, is that there is no “on” anymore with Google. And there may never be with AI as we know it, and as it seems to be playing out.
There is no “on” in “online.” No “in.”
We use adpositions, which include prepositions, to make sense of the natural world. But they don’t truly apply (though we try) to the digital world. Because the digital world isn’t real in the natural or physical sense. See, adpositions, and prepositions especially, are made for our embodied selves in the natural world. Under, around, through, beside, within, beneath, above, into, near, toward, with, outside, amid, beyond, are all sensibe in the here where we eat and breathe. None of them are of the digital world. But that world is no less real for it. Cyberspace is beyond ironic. It is oxymoronic, self-contradictory. There is no space involved. When persons in Sydney, Lucerne, New York, and Tokyo are together talking and seeing each other on Zoom, they are still nowhere, because there is no where in the physical sense. We are adjacent across the non-space within a giant zero.
But we do live there. Together. And apart.
This all came to mind this morning when I read two pieces:
The first speaks to living disembodied lives along with our embodied ones.
The second speaks to the mania for Big AI spend:
It’s also worth breaking down where the money would be spent. Morgan Stanley estimates that $1.3tn of data centre capex will pay for land, buildings and fit-out expenses. The remaining $1.6tn is to buy GPUs from Nvidia and others. Smarter people than us can work out how to securitise an asset that loses 30 per cent of its value every year, and good luck to them.
Where the trillions won’t be spent is on power infrastructure. Morgan Stanley estimates that more than half of the new data centres will be in the US, where there’s no obvious way yet to switch them on.
I now think that money will be far better spent on personal AI.
That’s AI for you and me, to get better control of our lives in the natural world where we pay bills, go to school, talk to friends, buy goods, get sick and well, entertain ourselves and others, and live lives thick with data over which we have limited control. (Do you have any record of all your subscriptions, of your health and financial doings and holdings, of what you’ve watched on TV, of where you’ve been, and with whom? Wouldn’t it be nice to have and make sense of all that stuff? I mean by yourself and for yourself, and not off in the cloud of some giant who can do fuck-all with it?)
It’s as if we are back in 1975, but instead of starting to work on the personal computer, all the money spent on computing goes into making IBM and the BUNCH more gigantic than anything else ever, with spendings that dwarf what might be spent on simple necessities, such as the electric grid and roads without holes. Back then we had the good fortune of Jobs, Wozniac, Osborne, and other early mammals working on personal computing underneath the feet of digital dinosaurs. Do we have the same today? Name them. I’m curious.
No, I’m not talking about people working on better ways to buy stuff, or to navigate the digital world with the help of smart agents. I’m talking about people working on stuff you and I use to get control of our everyday lives and the data we need to manage—without the help of giants.
Like we started doing with PCs fifty years ago.

An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished
“We can’t put a date on Doomsday, but by looking at the 5,000 years of [civilisation], we can understand the trajectories we face today – and self-termination is most likely,” says Dr Luke Kemp at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge.
“I’m pessimistic about the future,” he says. “But I’m optimistic about people.” Kemp’s new book covers the rise and collapse of more than 400 societies over 5,000 years and took seven years to write. The lessons he has drawn are often striking: people are fundamentally egalitarian but are led to collapses by enriched, status-obsessed elites, while past collapses often improved the lives of ordinary citizens.

Microsoft-owned LinkedIn has quietly joined the parade of tech giants rolling back basic protections for transgender users, removing explicit prohibitions against deadnaming and misgendering from its hate speech policies this week. The change, first spotted by the nonprofit Open Terms Archive, eliminates language that previously listed “misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals” as examples of prohibited hateful content.
LinkedIn removed transgender-related protections from its policy on hateful and derogatory content. The platform no longer lists “misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals” as examples of prohibited conduct. While “content that attacks, denigrates, intimidates, dehumanizes, incites or threatens hatred, violence, prejudicial or discriminatory action” is still considered hateful, addressing a person by a gender and name they ask not be designated by is not anymore.
Similarly, the platform removed “race or gender identity” from its examples of inherent traits for which negative comments are considered harassment. That qualification of harassment is now kept only for behaviour that is actively “disparaging another member’s […] perceived gender”, not mentioning race or gender identity anymore.
The move is particularly cowardly because LinkedIn made the change with zero public announcement or explanation. When pressed by a reporter at The Advocate, the company offered the classic corporate non-answer: “We regularly update our policies” and insisted that “personal attacks or intimidation toward anyone based on their identity, including misgendering, violates our harassment policy.”
But here’s the thing: if your policies haven’t actually changed, why remove the explicit protections? Why make it harder for users and moderators to understand what’s prohibited? The answer is as obvious as it is pathetic: LinkedIn is preemptively capitulating to political pressure in this era of MAGA culture war.
This follows the now-familiar playbook we’ve seen from Meta, YouTube, and others. Meta rewrote its policies in January to allow content calling LGBTQ+ people “mentally ill” and portraying trans identities as “abnormal.” YouTube quietly scrubbed “gender identity” from its hate speech policies, then had the audacity to call it “regular copy edits.” Now LinkedIn is doing the same cowardly dance.
What makes this particularly infuriating is the timing. These companies aren’t even waiting for actual government threats. They’re just assuming that sucking up to the Trump administration’s anti-trans agenda will somehow protect them from regulatory scrutiny. It’s the corporate equivalent of rolling over and showing your belly before anyone even raises their voice.
And it won’t help. The Trump administration will still target them and demand more and more, knowing that these companies will just roll over again.
And let’s be clear about what deadnaming and misgendering actually are: they’re deliberate acts of dehumanization designed to erase transgender people’s identities and make them feel unwelcome in public spaces. When platforms explicitly protect against these behaviors, it sends a message that trans people belong in these spaces. When they quietly remove those protections, they’re sending the opposite message. They’re saying “we don’t care about your humanity, and we will let people attack you for your identity.”
LinkedIn’s decision is especially disappointing because professional networking platforms should be spaces where people can present their authentic selves without fear of purely hateful harassment. Trans professionals already face discrimination in hiring and workplace environments. The last thing they need is for LinkedIn to signal that it’s open season for harassment on its platform.
The company is trying to argue that it still prohibits harassment and hate speech generally. But vague, general policies are much harder to enforce consistently than specific examples. When you remove explicit guidance about what constitutes anti-trans harassment, you make it easier for bad actors to push boundaries and harder for moderators to draw clear lines.
This is exactly the wrong moment for tech companies to be weakening protections for vulnerable communities. Anti-trans rhetoric and legislation have reached fever pitch, with the Trump administration making attacks on transgender rights a central part of its agenda. This is when platforms should be strengthening their commitment to protecting people from harassment, not quietly rolling back safeguards.
Sure, standing up for what’s right when there’s political pressure to do otherwise is hard. But that’s exactly when it matters most. These companies have billions in revenue and armies of lawyers. If anyone can afford to take a principled stand, it’s them.
Instead, we’re watching them fold like cheap suits at the first sign of political headwinds. They’re prioritizing their relationships with authoritarian politicians over the safety of their users. And they’re doing it in the most cowardly way possible: quietly, without explanation, hoping no one will notice.
The message this sends to transgender users is clear: you’re expendable. Your safety and dignity are less important than our political calculations. And that message isn’t just coming from fringe platforms or obvious bad actors—it’s coming from mainstream services owned by some of the world’s largest companies.
This isn’t just bad for transgender users. It’s bad for everyone who believes that online spaces should be governed by consistent principles rather than political opportunism. When platforms start making policy decisions based on which way the political winds are blowing, they undermine their own credibility and the trust users place in them.
Hell, for years, all we heard from the MAGA world was how supposedly awful it is when platforms make moderation decisions based on political pressure.
Where are all of those people now?
The irony is that these companies are probably making themselves less safe, not more. By signaling that they’ll cave to political pressure, they’re inviting more of it. Authoritarians don’t respect weakness—they exploit it.
LinkedIn, Meta, YouTube, and the rest need to understand: there’s no appeasing the anti-trans mob. No matter how many protections you strip away, it will never be enough. Stick to your principles and protect your users regardless of political pressure.
But instead of showing backbone, these companies are racing to see who can capitulate fastest. It’s a disgraceful display of corporate cowardice at exactly the moment when courage is most needed.
We all deserve better than watching supposedly values-driven companies abandon their principles the moment it becomes politically inconvenient to maintain them.

To counter attacks on net zero, challenges including the need for grid upgrades will have to be grasped
With net zero policies under attack from elected far-right populists as well as autocratic petrostates, and another summer of record-breaking temperatures in Europe, the failure to decarbonise the world’s power supply is as gravely concerning as ever. But the UN secretary general, António Guterres, struck an optimistic note in a recent speech in New York. The world, he said, “is on the cusp of a new era … The sun is rising on a clean energy age.” Pointing to falls in the cost of onshore wind and solar, and the risk of further gas-price shocks in future, he called on big technology companies – whose datacentres are one reason for soaring energy use – to adopt a target of 100% low-carbon electricity by 2030.
Given US president Donald Trump’s personal hostility to renewable energy, Mr Guterres may be right that it makes more sense to demand action from US businesses at this point. In Scotland earlier this week, Mr Trump launched his latest misleading tirade, urging European leaders to “stop the windmills”.

Alden Global Capital just can’t understand. Why would any newspaper not want to be the next to pass through its digestive tract?
That’s the tone of a letter the vulturous hedge fund’s executives sent last night to the owner of The Dallas Morning News. As I wrote on Monday, the DallasNews Corporation recently agreed to be acquired by Hearst at the price of $14 a share. Soon after, Alden swooped in with a surprise offer at $16.50 a share.
More money usually beats less money. But Alden is no regular owner, having earned a reputation for firing journalists en masse and bleeding its newspapers dry. (One study found it laid off journalists at twice the rate of other newspaper owners.) Selling to Alden is not what a good newspaper owner who cares about his community does.
So Robert Decherd — a great-grandson of the paper’s co-founder, who spend decades as its CEO and chairman — decided that he’d rather not send his life’s work through Alden’s wood chipper and said there “are no circumstances under which I would vote for or support the MNG [MediaNews Group, a.k.a. Alden] proposal.” “No circumstances” seems pretty clear, and the DallasNews board told Alden, in effect, to buzz off.
So now Alden’s big mad. Its July 22 letter making the offer was all sweetness and light, expressing its “keen interest” in protecting “this local treasure” and professing “the sincerity and intensity of this commitment.” Last night’s letter was all elbows:
On July 28, 2025, you summarily rejected — without any discussion — our all-cash proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of DallasNews Corporation for $16.50 per share in favor of Hearst’s clearly inferior $15.00 per share revised offer…As you can imagine, we were surprised to see your public rejection, particularly as it occurred without even a single conversation, let alone substantive engagement, with us. Rather than evaluate our proposal on the merits or engage in discussions that could benefit all your shareholders and other stakeholders and the North Texas community at large, you adopted a shareholder rights plan designed to protect the inferior Hearst transaction, suppress competing bids, and deprive your shareholders of the opportunity to consider alternatives that could unlock greater value…
How these actions could possibly be deemed to satisfy your fiduciary duties is a mystery to us…if the Board continues to refuse engagement, we will simply be forced to take our case directly to your shareholders. As such, we urge you to reconsider your position.
“Take our case directly to your shareholders” implies a proxy battle in which DallasNews shareholders could vote to take Alden’s offer over Hearst’s. But “shareholders,” in this case, pretty much just means Decherd. He personally controls a majority of all shareholder votes, having worked for many years to keep the various wings of the family united and, in 2020, purchased enough family shares to get over 50%. Mathematically, he’s the only vote that matters.
Amid all the letter’s blunt talk, Alden turns sugary again when it talks about Decherd, even teasing a potential role for him in an Alden Morning News:
We have deep respect for Robert Decherd, his more than five decades of service to The Dallas Morning News, and his long-standing commitment to civic journalism in North Texas. We share Mr. Decherd’s commitment to high-quality local journalism and agree that preserving the quality and integrity of The Dallas Morning News requires scale, operating experience, and a proven commitment to the public interest…We welcome the opportunity to engage directly with Mr. Decherd regarding our proposal and vision for the future. We are confident that the concerns he has expressed can be addressed collaboratively and constructively, and we are open to discussing appropriate structural protections to ensure The Dallas Morning News’s editorial and operational independence and continued civic mission, including, if appropriate, a continued role for Mr. Decherd in an institution so closely tied to his family’s legacy.
How sweet! But one assumes that Decherd remembers that, just a few days ago, Alden explicitly wanted to cut him out of acquisition talks. From the July 22 letter:
We would prefer to otherwise conduct our discussions directly with you [the DallasNews board of directors] on a confidential basis, as this Proposal is intended solely for your consideration and not for the consideration of DallasNews’ shareholders or any other person or entity.
Robert Decherd served on the company’s board for 47 years, but he retired from it two years ago. So by requesting to speak confidentially, only with the board and “not for the consideration of DallasNews’ shareholders,” Alden was essentially asking to cut Decherd out of talks. Remember, he’s the only shareholder that matters.
In one sense, DallasNews is extremely lucky that Decherd left the board when he did. Were he still chairman, Alden could argue he had a fiduciary duty to shareholders to accept the highest bid. But as a private citizen, he can vote however he wants. On July 9, Decherd signed an agreement that, “irrevocably and unconditionally,” requires him, his wife, and his foundation “to vote their shares of Common Stock in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement” with Hearst.
In other words, it’s difficult to imagine a scenario in which Alden wins The Dallas Morning News without Robert Decherd’s explicit approval. And there is no reason to doubt his statements that “are no circumstances under which” he would support a sale to Alden. Decherd is 74, having devoted his life to the family company; his retirement from the board came on the 50th anniversary of his first day of employment. He’s made plenty of money. Some back-of-the-envelope math suggests that, for Decherd personally, the difference between selling to Hearst at $15.00 rather than Alden at $16.50 comes down to around a million dollars. Even if Alden ups its bid a buck or two, we’re talking about a sum that, while big money to you or me, is hardly worth trampling the family name. I don’t expect any hedge fund sweet talk to change that calculation.

Donald Trump’s enduring hostility to wind power is no longer a personal quirk, it’s now a policy direction with profound consequences for global emissions

The inner workings of Donald Trump’s mind have long provoked bemusement and speculation, with his often erratic opinions driven seemingly by grievance and anecdote rather than evidence.
But on one topic Trump has remained resolutely consistent: he hates wind turbines – and, more latterly, renewable energy in general. This enmity burst into view in 2011 – four years before he descended his golden escalator to announce he was running for US president – when Trump waged an unsuccessful battle to halt “ugly” offshore turbines visible from his Scottish golf course.
