Nah, it's the same old sparkling autocomplete it looks like from testing, it just only slaughters 2 lakes instead of 8 to do the same task(because China can't get advanced chips due to US export bans, so they actually had to -optimize- instead of throwing more money at more hardware).

I'm getting flashbacks to 2009(?) when a whole bunch of websites went black for a day in protest of SOPA. And even that didn't feel this widespread; I remember getting very pissy on social media about Google not even acknowledging it.Every national newspaper today put a front page ad for a campaign against the UK government’s AI policies.Reuben Binns (@rdbinns.bsky.social)
