Lol. But think about all the hours of entertainment we've had with Sora 2! It's superior to making a game out of rocks on the pavement.

Dear Google, what's stopping accessibility (WCAG) from being a minor ranking signal?

Love, a person rooting for a kinder internet.

In my free time I'm reading web novels in Traditional Chinese.

The site monetizes via your traditional obnoxious ads.

Let me tell you, sometimes you can't avoid display ad misclicks.

And then before you know it, there's ad click fraud in multiple levels. Redirects. X. YouTube.

Her: You should start a business
Me: What business? Can you be more specific?
Her: I can be the boss.
Me: Ok. What will we be doing?
Her: I think we can sell spoons.
Me: *uses ChatGPT to give a positive answer*

Could this solve link rot?

Many thought some international courts were crazy to demand payment if your website "altruistically" linked to their website.

What if it wasn't a payment but a donation to the Wayback machine? The Wayback machine would then sell data back to websites and ad networks.

English is such a cursed language.

Do you put a meeting invite on a calendars, schedules, or diary?

Fries = chips, chips = crisps.

And of course optimization and optimisation, without going into how spoken emphasis is contextual.

Reading a book. Visited the town of Reading.

Aaand 30% goes to knowledge base articles?

Honestly this distribution is so interesting.

Really goes back to the core question - what are website boundaries and how do you define something whose definition evolves over time?

How big is the web?

Happy Friday brain.

Someone write a book on how a Greenpeace adjacent organization engages in bioterrorism where genetically engineered ants are set loose to thrive in any climate can trigger alpha gal syndrome on its bite victims.

Thus converting the world off of our meat-based diet.

For every human there's a million fucking ants.

There's your AI horror movie right there.

Man I missed the days where retailers weren't trying to digitize.

Now everyone's doing ecommerce, and everyone's ecommerce experienced is peppered with ads.

Ads are answers.

Sometimes you work in a country for so long, that you gain a new accent on your mother tongue. ...

And you have to work your way back to sound "normal" again to fit in because your intonation and emphasis decided to take a few sips of helium.

It's another slow week in AI, so I figured I'd talk about ChatGPT's --QDF= operator and what the scores 0-5 mean. If you're new here, when I feel the AGI coming, I share tidbits of AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) discoveries in a way only a subsection of the internet would understand*.

Conspiracy Theory

OpenAI is using Atlas as a URL discovery mechanism, collecting data directly from users. They do not have to spend compute to render pages as the user does that for them. They want to build a web index based on user data, not crawling, as a moat.

One of our neighbors decided to leave trashed furniture in our sidewalk.

And now I can't work. Who done it? Why am I not just as angry?

Well, my love, you sucked out my energy reserves.

Some kids are dialed in on excellence in focus.

Pretty weird when you have a child who just hit the "relative" 10% mark, but aren't focused b/c girl's got options:

She's in an academy football club.

Her club is struggling in their division.

She is an average player, no extra practice or edge.

Was talking to my Italian and Italian-American neighbors this weekend, because I was also playing Minecraft IT support for a kids' playdate

They're quite far removed from the AI world - ChatGPT is basically AI magic. They're currently using it to answer home DIY issues.

I touched grass that day?

As a parent, I get to look at my child's search history.

Every year children are adding to that shift in query data from head terms to long tail. I know I have a 1% child. She's furiously using Google Search, Learn About, or ChatGPT. Hell she's got a Reddit and Quora account. It's fascinating.
