Just liberated the video of one of my talks from YouTube and uploaded a copy to our Vimeo account:

Big Brother Awards 2014: We need an ethical approach to design

vimeo.com/1075963646

(Imagine what a different world we’d be living in today if folks in tech had heeded our warnings back then. But I guess they were too busy making mint.)

PS. yt-dlp is your friend (on Mac: brew install yt-dlp). Also make sure you have ffmpeg installed (brew install ffmpeg). Finally, I had to manually tell yt-dlp where to find ffmpeg although your mileage may vary based on installation method: yt-dlp "<URL>" --write-subs --ffmpeg-location=/opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg (--write-subs saves the subtitles if there are any to a file in a format you can use on the web).

'Temu completely shut off Google Shopping ads in the U.S. on April 9, with its App Store ranking subsequently plummeting from a typical third or fourth position to 58th in just three days.

The company’s impression share, which measures how often their ads appear compared to eligibility, dropped sharply before disappearing completely from advertiser auction data by April 12.'

This screenshot is just one of many examples showing why searchers should ignore the garbage AI Overview being force-fed at the top or the results list in Google search. Even better, avoid Google search.
It wrongly credits George Takei with having written "All Boys Aren't Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto" by George M. Johnson and overlooks George Takei's actual book: They Called Us Enemy!

A screenshot of a Google search for the phrase "Texas author book banned" retrieving an AI Overview at top wrongly identifying George Takei as an author of All Boy's Aren't Blue written by George M. Johnson.
