Marine Big Data Market Insights: Navigating the Digital Transformation in Shipping

[mostlysignssomeportents]

The specific process by which Google enshittified its search

I'm touring my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me SATURDAY (Apr 27) in MARIN COUNTY, then Winnipeg (May 2), Calgary (May 3), Vancouver (May 4), and beyond!

All digital businesses have the technical capacity to enshittify: the ability to change the underlying functions of the business from moment to moment and user to user, allowing for the rapid transfer of value between business customers, end users and shareholders:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/19/twiddler/

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/24/naming-names/#prabhakar-raghavan

Which raises an important question: why do companies enshittify at a specific moment, after refraining from enshittifying before? After all, a company always has the potential to benefit by treating its business customers and end users worse, by giving them a worse deal. If you charge more for your product and pay your suppliers less, that leaves more money on the table for your investors.

Of course, it's not that simple. While cheating, price-gouging, and degrading your product can produce gains, these tactics also threaten losses. You might lose customers to a rival, or get punished by a regulator, or face mass resignations from your employees who really believe in your product.

Companies choose not to enshittify their products…until they choose to do so. One theory to explain this is that companies are engaged in a process of continuous assessment, gathering data about their competitive risks, their regulators' mettle, their employees' boldness. When these assessments indicate that the conditions are favorable to enshittification, the CEO walks over to the big "enshittification" lever on the wall and yanks it all the way to MAX.

Some companies have certainly done this – and paid the price. Think of Myspace or Yahoo: companies that made themselves worse by reducing quality and gouging on price (be it measured in dollars or attention – that is, ads) before sinking into obscure senescence. These companies made a bet that they could get richer while getting worse, and they were wrong, and they lost out.

But this model doesn't explain the Great Enshittening, in which all the tech companies are enshittifying at the same time. Maybe all these companies are subscribing to the same business newsletter (or, more likely, buying advice from the same management consultancy) (cough McKinsey cough) that is a kind of industry-wide starter pistol for enshittification.

I think it's something else. I think the main job of a CEO is to show up for work every morning and yank on the enshittification lever as hard as you can, in hopes that you can eke out some incremental gains in your company's cost-basis and/or income by shifting value away from your suppliers and customers to yourself.

We get good digital services when the enshittification lever doesn't budge – when it is constrained: by competition, by regulation, by interoperable mods and hacks that undo enshittification (like alternative clients and ad-blockers) and by workers who have bargaining power thanks to a tight labor market or a powerful union:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/09/lead-me-not-into-temptation/#chamberlain

When Google ordered its staff to build a secret Chinese search engine that would censor search results and rat out dissidents to the Chinese secret police, googlers revolted and refused, and the project died:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfly_(search_engine)

When Google tried to win a US government contract to build AI for drones used to target and murder civilians far from the battlefield, googlers revolted and refused, and the project died:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/01/technology/google-pentagon-project-maven.html

What's happened since – what's behind all the tech companies enshittifying all at once – is that tech worker power has been smashed, especially at Google, where 12,000 workers were fired just months after a $80b stock buyback that would have paid their wages for the next 27 years. Likewise, competition has receded from tech bosses' worries, thanks to lax antitrust enforcement that saw most credible competitors merged into behemoths, or neutralized with predatory pricing schemes. Lax enforcement of other policies – privacy, labor and consumer protection – loosened up the enshittification lever even more. And the expansion of IP rights, which criminalize most kinds of reverse engineering and aftermarket modification, means that interoperability no longer applies friction to the enshittification lever.

Now that every tech boss has an enshittification lever that moves very freely, they can show up for work, yank the enshittification lever, and it goes all the way to MAX. When googlers protested the company's complicity in the genocide in Gaza, Google didn't kill the project – it mass-fired the workers:

https://medium.com/@notechforapartheid/statement-from-google-workers-with-the-no-tech-for-apartheid-campaign-on-googles-indiscriminate-28ba4c9b7ce8

Enshittification is a macroeconomic phenomenon, determined by the regulatory environment for competition, privacy, labor, consumer protection and IP. But enshittification is also a microeconomic phenomenon, the result of innumerable boardroom and product-planning fights within companies in which would-be enshittifiers try to do things that make the company's products and services shittier wrestle with rivals who want to keep things as they are, or make them better, whether out of principle or fear of the consequences.

Those microeconomic wrestling-matches are where we find enshittification's heroes and villains – the people who fight for the user or stand up for a fair deal, versus the people who want to cheat and wreck to make things better for the company and win bonuses and promotions for themselves:

https://locusmag.com/2023/11/commentary-by-cory-doctorow-dont-be-evil/

These microeconomic struggles are usually obscure, because companies are secretive institutions and our glimpses into their deliberations are normally limited to the odd leaked memo, whistleblower tell-all, or spectacular worker revolt. But when a company gets dragged into court, a new window opens into the company's internal operations. That's especially true when the plaintiff is the US government.

Which brings me back to Google, the poster-child for enshittification, a company that revolutionized the internet a quarter of a century ago with a search-engine that was so good that it felt like magic, which has decayed so badly and so rapidly that whole sections of the internet are disappearing from view for the 90% of users who rely on the search engine as their gateway to the internet.

Google is being sued by the DOJ's Antitrust Division, and that means we are getting a very deep look into the company, as its internal emails and memos come to light:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/03/not-feeling-lucky/#fundamental-laws-of-economics

Google is a tech company, and tech companies have literary cultures – they run on email and other forms of written communication, even for casual speech, which is more likely to take place in a chat program than at a water-cooler. This means that tech companies have giant databases full of confessions to every crime they've ever committed:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/03/big-tech-cant-stop-telling-on-itself/

Large pieces of Google's database-of-crimes are now on display – so much, in fact, that it's hard for anyone to parse through it all and understand what it means. But some people are trying, and coming up with gold. One of those successful prospectors is Ed Zitron, who has produced a staggering account of the precise moment at which Google search tipped over into enshittification, which names the executives at the very heart of the rot:

https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

Zitron tells the story of a boardroom struggle over search quality, in which Ben Gomes – a long-tenured googler who helped define the company during its best years – lost a fight with Prabhakar Raghavan, a computer scientist turned manager whose tactic for increasing the number of search queries (and thus the number of ads the company could show to searchers) was to decrease the quality of search. That way, searchers would have to spend more time on Google before they found what they were looking for.

Zitron contrasts the background of these two figures. Gomes, the hero, worked at Google for 19 years, solving fantastically hard technical scaling problems and eventually becoming the company's "search czar." Raghavan, the villain, "failed upwards" through his career, including a stint as Yahoo's head of search from 2005-12, a presiding over the collapse of Yahoo's search business. Under Raghavan's leadership, Yahoo's search market-share fell from 30.4% to 14%, and in the end, Yahoo jettisoned its search altogether and replaced it with Bing.

For Zitron, the memos show how Raghavan engineered the ouster of Gomes, with help from the company CEO, the ex-McKinseyite Sundar Pichai. It was a triumph for enshittification, a deliberate decision to make the product worse in order to make it more profitable, under the (correct) belief that the company's exclusivity deals to provide search everywhere from Iphones and Samsungs to Mozilla would mean that the business would face no consequences for doing so.

It a picture of a company that isn't just too big to fail – it's (as FTC Chair Lina Khan put it on The Daily Show) too big to care:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaDTiWaYfcM

Zitron's done excellent sleuthing through the court exhibits here, and his writeup is incandescently brilliant. But there's one point I quibble with him on. Zitron writes that "It’s because the people running the tech industry are no longer those that built it."

I think that gets it backwards. I think that there were always enshittifiers in the C-suites of these companies. When Page and Brin brought in the war criminal Eric Schmidt to run the company, he surely started every day with a ritual, ferocious tug at that enshittification lever. The difference wasn't who was in the C-suite – the difference was how freely the lever moved.

On Saturday, I wrote:

The platforms used to treat us well and now treat us badly. That's not because they were setting a patient trap, luring us in with good treatment in the expectation of locking us in and turning on us. Tech bosses do not have the executive function to lie in wait for years and years.

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/22/kargo-kult-kaptialism/#dont-buy-it

Someone on Hacker News called that "silly," adding that "tech bosses do in fact have the executive function to lie in wait for years and years. That's literally the business model of most startups":

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40114339

That's not quite right, though. The business-model of the startup is to yank on the enshittification lever every day. Tech bosses don't lie in wait for the perfect moment to claw away all the value from their employees, users, business customers, and suppliers – they're always trying to get that value. It's only when they become too big to care that they succeed. That's the definition of being too big to care.

In antitrust circles, they sometimes say that "the process is the punishment." No matter what happens to the DOJ's case against Google, its internal workers have been made visible to the public. The secrecy surrounding the Google trial when it was underway meant that a lot of this stuff flew under the radar when it first appeared. But as Zitron's work shows, there is plenty of treasure to be found in that trove of documents that is now permanently in the public domain.

When future scholars study the enshittocene, they will look to accounts like Zitron's to mark the turning points from the old, good internet to the enshitternet. Let's hope those future scholars have a new, good internet on which to publish their findings.

Disabled Queer Salish Sea Artist Seeking Some Community Support

Hi lovely people! Would you mind boosting my Salish Sea marine science art? My contract job is on an unexpected hiatus until sometime in July and so my income the next couple months is really dependent on the markets I'm doing and online sales. Scroll for photos of my work.

https://shop.noncompliantcyborg.com/

Other circumstances stuff under the cut

The timing of this is already additionally tough because mid-June I start my summer project as a visiting researcher at Rosario Beach Marine Lab, which I was (am still hopefully) going to be doing community fundraising for both in my local area and online but I've been delaying actively seeking that support out.

This is both because I wanted to have a solid equipment budget confirmed first and then also I've been feeling some serious impostor syndrome with a pretty hefty side of "there are so many humanitarian crises and survival needs fundraisers that people should be funding, how can I ask anyone to support me in doing naturalist documentation and 3D imaging of Salish Sea animals for sci-comm right now?"

It doesn't help that now that I've gotten some equipment quotes it's looking like roughly 5k for just the big ticket items and I don't know how much little incidental stuff will add up and that doesn't even consider any compensation for my labor. Also with the lag time on getting said equipment unless I magically fundraised that super fast stuff the time I'd have to complete the build and collect data could be very tight.

My back up plan is to just do a lot of studio type photography and videography for sci-comm content and art prints. Also embryology work if they have the proper dish-ware I can check out. But I'm still worried about what it does to people's perceptions of me if I don't pull off the project I wanted to. Being disabled and having to create your own non-traditional opportunities and coordinate everything that goes into that because science largely is inaccessible is exhausting. And it's extra exhausting trying to do all that while also trying to piece together accessible ways to financially support yourself.

Anyways, thank you for any support or solidarity you can offer whether through sharing, getting art, or otherwise.

Aquark Technologies Achieves Quantum Milestone Underwater

Aquark Tech

Quantum technology startup Aquark Technologies from Southampton, UK, reached a milestone. The company completed the first underwater cold atom quantum sensor test. This pioneering experiment employed Boaty McBoatface, the NOC's autonomous submersible. The test at NOC's indoor tank facility was a major step towards using quantum sensing technology outside of labs, the company claimed.

Aquark tested their AQuest system in a controlled aquatic setting that mimicked underwater conditions. The purpose was to collect performance data at different pressures and temperatures. This data collection focused on sensor cold atom trap performance and stability. The trial results are expected to improve the technology and prepare it for usage in harsh environments like the deep sea or rocky terrain where accurate sensing is needed. Despite these challenges, Aquark said the cold atom trap collected “a boatload of data” during the test.

Aquark's innovation centres on a tiny cold atom trap. This approach cools atoms towards absolute zero with lasers. This approach allows atoms to be used in very sensitive sensors that sense motion, time, and magnetic fields better than traditional instruments. The Aquark Super Molasses Trap (SMT) was employed in the underwater test.

The successful test is important because holding cold atoms in an unstable and noisy underwater vehicle was a big engineering challenge. Previous cold atom trap investigations were done in well controlled labs. Boaty McBoatface's success proves Aquark's design's durability. The company says the compact, power-efficient technology may be used in remote or mobile devices. It was the first time a cold atom trap was tested underwater, according to Villius Atkočius, Quantum Systems Engineer at Aquark Technologies. He noted that the “underwater world is less understood than space,” stressing its vast potential.

Aquark's technology has several applications and strategic implications. Finding ways to travel underwater without GPS signals might be useful, especially for underwater fighting. The sensors might also assess mineral density beneath the sea bottom using high-sensitivity magnetic field readings or gravity measurements, allowing scientists to “see things that were previously hidden.”

Seeing their platform function alongside NOC’s Autosub – known as Boaty McBoatface – was a genuine victory for both science and pleasure', said Aquark technology Co-Founder & CEO Andrei Dragomir. The success has 'opened new possibilities for research enabled by quantum technologies'. Technology may “uncover some hidden treasures!” he speculated. Villius Atkočius claims that gravity sensing platforms like Aquark's SMT are more reliable than magnetic field sensing for long-duration underwater or polar operations.

Additionally, the technology may expand medical diagnostics. The idea received support from NATO's DIANA Accelerator Program, which accelerates military and dual-use deep tech enterprises. Quantum sensing might offer a “substantial contribution” to seabed photography and underwater navigation, says NOC Marine Autonomous and Robotics Systems Head Dr. Alex Phillips. These preliminary experiments suggest quantum technologies are ready for underwater vehicles like Autosub Long Range.

This experiment is a major step towards real-world quantum sensing. After receiving early funding and building a minimal viable product, Aquark is prepared for commercial deployment. The business aims to make the most energy-efficient and compact cold atom core on the market that can work outside of lab settings.
