You can no longer Google the word 'disregard' | TechCrunch

After Google Search's AI update, the word "disregard" now effectively breaks the search interface.

a lot of people mourned extensively when elon bought twitter and ruined what was, effectively, a quasi-public commons where vast numbers of people could collaborate to get a view of the world, perform useful osint, and find community?

this has been of much the same pattern: a formerly extremely valuable resource that was publicly available as a means to quickly find useful information, made unusable by management.

fuck all of this.

"I have been a professional tech journalist for nearly fifteen years, and before today, I cannot think of a single time when a Bing search result was more valuable than the Google equivalent. There really is a first time for everything!"

Social organization is important, yes.

Figuring out how to engage in such organization in a way that's healthy and intentional, so that individual members don't get burnt out from having to coordinate, resolve differences, and otherwise do the nitty-gritty 'people management' parts of social organization is difficult, and unfortunately many people in tech have opted not to practice those skills because they are difficult and do not lead to obvious gains, as they are systemic improvements and not acute ways to address visible problems.
