Interestingly this hasn't been the case for Omoi. We've seen pretty solid growth in Google traffic recently. Maybe because an AI summary can't replace a manga chapter. For articles, lots of users read the summary and then never click through.

I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.
ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

The clip is even worse than the quote. Cowards like Frey think they're pulling off some perfect balancing of the left and the right positions on ICE, but they just come off as insincere. "Buh, buh, no, uh, I like ICE. I do. Just not when they're doing this stuff right now."

+65 with Dems and +12 with Independents, all while Democratic leadership is still pro-ICE existing and being funded. If you had politicians interested in "doing popular things" as they claim they are, you'd see Dem leaders saying "Abolish ICE"
Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll:
46% support abolishing ICE
43% oppose abolishing ICE
This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach
KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait

Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

Been playing Spider-Man: Miles Morales. What a treat Miles's animations are. He flings his arms around wildly while web-swinging and nearly falls over from the momentum when he lands on a building. Totally nails the feel of a new Spider-Man getting the hang of things.

Well, here we go. If they can shoot protesters and get away with it then all bets are off.
