Frequent convo in marketing circles as LLMs replace search is that the proliferation of content on Internet and the WAY it's written the last 25 years was largely driven by Google algorithm. As users lift generated answers (accurate or not), without clicking thru, it changes entire ecosystem.

![Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein was just bustin’ with pride over his March 28 story: “New Rubio order (leaked to me) directs the State Department to spy on student visa holders and applicants [on] social media,” he posted on Bluesky and X. He got the buzz that he wanted with thousands of reposts, and presumably a traffic boost to his $100-a-year site.
If you had a sense of déjà lu, it’s probably because you’d already read this piece, titled “State Dept. demands ‘enhanced’ social media vetting of student visa applicants,” by Marisa Kabas, another independent journalist. Her story ran a full two days before Klippenstein’s. (And Kabas’s version was more authoritative and better-written.)
I reached out to Klippenstein via email, Signal, and social media, but he didn’t respond. Maybe at some point he will (leak his response to me).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreic2rysbe455afrbwslsw2n2bpzv6u4cxc4cqs5v4afl6vfo6w5d5i@jpeg)

All these stories about Biden are depressing but they should be raising questions about what the stress of the presidency does to a 78 year old person ... like our current president who is already showing obvious signs of dementia.
