Absolutely pro move by the OpenAI comms team: announcing a security incident the night before Thanksgiving.
Someone got into Mixpanel and grabbed a bunch of OpenAI user data (names, emails, geo, org info, etc).
Sounds like OpenAI already booted Mixpanel out of production. lol

A Reddit mod has spent years tearing down the coding bootcamp space, relentlessly attacking the leading bootcamp: Codesmith. This is, by far, the most fucked up thing I've seen on Reddit: larslofgren.com/codesmith-re...
The Story of Codesmith: How a Competitor Crippled a $23.5M Bootcamp By Becoming a Reddit Moderator
Let’s say you decide to start a coding bootcamp. Your background is in pedagogy and you love teaching. Your parents were teachers. You find a co-founder, raise a bit of money, and pour your soul into ...

I gotta admit it, when you start with really high quality content and ask an AI tool to create content based on it (headlines, promotional emails, social posts, etc), that AI content gets exceptionally good.
It's all about having that quality base though. No base = AI slop

So far, the Google monopoly ruling appears toothless to me.
If I was a Google exec, I'd be celebrating right now. Some reporting requirements, need to build a syndication service and offer it at cost, and no more exclusivity contracts. Pretty easy to check all those off.

Sigh... the #1 rank for "calendly alternatives" is an exact match .org domain.
It's also the top listed resource in the AIO.
-DR of 16
-An extremely low effort 1 page website
-No affiliate links
My bet is they're selling placements on the page to some of the vendors.

So is Google's AI push killing the open web?
I'm already seeing it first hand.
I know of multiple sites (DRs of 90+ and 1 is a top 100 domain) that are slashing content budgets. Blogs are on life support. They've decided to ride the decline.
Everyone is starting to move on.

So about those HCU sites getting a bump in the current Google algo update...
Can confirm.
If you're wondering if I did anything to site: I unpublished about 30% of the site when it was first hit and then haven't touched it in 9 months. So not much.
