#Google: Was bedeutet der "AI-Overview" für Websites? Bisher war #GoogleZero das befürchtete Szenario: Google beantwortet alles selbst und es gibt keinen Traffic mehr für Websites.
Zumindest für Produkte scheint Google inzwischen einen Weg gefunden zu haben, Fragen zusammenfassend zu beantworten, aber trotzdem die User weiterzuleiten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NFei1FbytM
Weekly output: Mozilla Firefox CEO, AI crawlers vs. publishers and creators, teenage AI chatbot use, Android Live Emergency Video, PCMag’s best tech bought in 2025, World App
Somehow I’m down to the last full workweek of the year–and yet my writing and gift shopping seem to have more than a week’s worth of work remaining.
12/8/2025: Mozilla is doing a delicate dance with AI, Fast Company
I spoke with Mozilla CEO Laura Chambers at a Web Summit event for the second time this year. One thing Firefox’s management no longer needs to worry about, unlike when I met with Chambers at Web Summit Qatar in February: the threat of Google being forced to stop paying browser developers to keep its search engine as the default.
12/9/2025: AI Platforms Are Paying (Some) Big Publishers, Leaving Smaller Ones Behind, PCMag
This post began with me taking notes from a Web Summit panel featuring Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince talking about that Internet infrastructure company’s Pay Per Crawl initiative to push AI providers to pay Web publishers for access to their content, then I did some follow-up reporting that included setting up Cloudflare’s AI Crawl Control bot-blocking filter on this blog, and then I had to update the post the morning it was published after the European Commission opened an investigation into how Google runs its AI Overview search feature.
12/9/2025: 28% of Teens Use Chatbots Daily. You Can Probably Guess Which One They Like Best, PCMag
The latest survey by the Pew Research Center surfaced some interesting statistics about how much teenagers use AI chatbots and which ones they use the most.
12/10/2025: Need Help? Android Phones Can Now Share Live Video With 911 Dispatchers, PCMag
Google is shipping this feature a year after Apple did, but its emergency live video implementation works on far more devices than Apple’s.
12/11/2025: The Best Tech PCMag Editors Bought in 2025, PCMag
I wrote a short graf lauding the compact, quick-charging (and Wirecutter-endorsed) USB-C charger that I bought after losing the considerably bulkier model that came with my laptop.
12/13/2025: App That Verifies Your Existence Adds Encrypted Messaging, PCMag
Tools for Humanity announced an update to its World App that adds an end-to-end-encrypted chat feature and expands its cryptocurrency tools. I took advantage of this news peg to try out the app’s ability to verify a “World ID” by scanning the NFC tag on my U.S. passport; that did not go well at all for me.
12/15/2025: Updated to add the PCMag best-tech package that I forgot to check for on Sunday.

Film websites, and why we’re running out of time to halt Google’s domination of the web
From the "coping with #googleZero" department: Business Insider has added a "follow" button to staff pages. Click to get email when a reporter you follow writes something.

(Personally I like per-byline RSS feeds but I'll take it.) I'm sure Gmail is going to start rewriting the links to replace with AI slop, but as long as I use a normal email client I should be good for now
Barely readable generated ripoffs of real journalistic work became more discoverable in Google than originals. Internet is drowning in #AI-plagiarism and visual slop, and #GoogleZero has already happened, making businesses that actually have social value to struggle for solutions.
Like Project Pitchfork sang, "Stop searching - Hell is already here" 😈

Curate your own newspaper with RSS
“In a media landscape dominated by algorithmic feeds that aim to manipulate and extract, sometimes the most radical thing you can do is choose to read what you want, when you want, without anyone watching over your shoulder.”
Molly White has been using RSS for over a decade and would like you to join her in the brave new (old) world of Really Simple Syndication.

"Wie blicken Verlage auf Googles AI Overview?"
Interview mit Nico Wilfer
#GoogleZero is here.
They've pilfered enough from enough sources, that no-one need go outside their cursed SE.
Victory! An #adrevenue goldmine, until actual #reporters are too hungry to ask questions.
Then #AI #chatbotbrowsers can just make it up. Cheaper.
Some kind of #strike may be our only recourse when #chatbot #webbrowsers and the limitless greed of #Picahai and #Alphabet, #Altman, #Zuckerberg, #Bezos, and #Musk. erase #journalism.
#Fascist carnival rides on a space dick will remain.
@viennawriter Das habe ich auch nicht behauptet. 😉
Aber dass es alle schaffen, die Leute in ihren App gefangen zu halten und Google hat leider als bekanntesten Dienste einen, der bisher davon gelebt hat, Leute woanders hin zu schicken, ist doof gewesen.
TikTok und Instagram haben nie externe Links gehabt, Facebook und LinkedIn verbreiten die einfach nicht mehr - 97% der Posts, die Leute im letzte Jahr auf Facebook gesehen haben, enthielten keine Links.
Und jetzt kann Google auch endlich seine Suchmaschine in die zweite Reihe schieben und so einen Textgenerator davor schalten, damit die Leute bei Google bleiben. Stichwort: #GoogleZero
Für eine gesunde Medienwelt!
ÖRR unter Druck, Zeitungen verschwinden, Zuschauer schalten ab. Stattdessen dominieren Social-Media-Apps unsere Aufmerksamkeit. Journalismus und seriöse Informationen bleiben auf der Strecke. Das können wir uns nicht länger leisten. Ein Essay.

Mehr „KI“ – weniger Weblinks
Google will die User auf ihrer Seite halten und sie nicht mehr zu anderen Websites schicken. Dafür sollen die Anfragen direkt von der Google-eigenen „KI“ beantwortet werden – ob die Antworten stimmen oder nicht. Das hat der Konzern gerade angekündigt.

"Decoder is a show for people who are trying to build things, and the number one question I have for people who build things on any #platform is: what are you going to do when that platform changes the rules?
There’s a theory I’ve had for a long time that I’ve been calling #GoogleZero—my name for that moment when #GoogleSearch simply stops sending traffic outside of its search engine to 3rd-party websites."

💡 Google Zero, verso la morte dei motori di ricerca tradizionali
L'ascesa dell'IA nei motori di ricerca: come Google Zero potrebbe ridefinire il panorama del SEO e il futuro del web

An interesting article [Google zero is here - now what?](https://www.theverge.com/24167865/google--search-crash-housefresh-ai-overviews-traffic-data-audience)
If you have a small independent business or website #Google is less and less likely to direct traffic to it. Instead it will summarise your knowledge with AI and present it as it's own.
This makes the #fediverse even more important.
#Google could have used their AI technology to summarise and evaluate individual websites in the search results to help us decide which one to click on. Instead they've tried to summarise everything on the web in one paragraph, made #GoogleZero fears a reality and made their most valuable product and cash cow appear untrustworthy.
What a disaster.
