SNAPSHOT MARCH 2026

I happened upon Google’s “Research” summary of Fluminism, freely accessible through the “unsubscribed” part of its large language model, Gemini, in partnership with Apple’s Siri app (I use a MacBook Air laptop for written work). I’ll post it here now, on my blog, in some vague attempt to reassert my agency within an exponentially expanding data reservoir that is “CLOUD”. I must, and have, credited Google in the (as it turns out, not so bad) act of summarisation.

I will write again about AI, energy consumption, and responsibility soon. I also wish to note that, for all the hard selling of AI, no one has paid me for any of this content! Who benefits? Who really will benefit? I guess we shall see.

END.
