The bar has been raised on all web content for Google to index, esp new domains like you say but even some subdomains.

That answer is quality content (higher than AI or human medians), links and pr and social activity and mentions, and then user experience.

Google search results dont care about content quality. And did not for years already. It killed good quality blogs and sites long before the AI slop came in.

And yet, I have to dig my way through pages upon pages of AI trash sites for many Google queries. Somehow THOSE don’t seem to have a problem getting indexed (Maybe they run a sufficient number of ads?).

Given none of the wikis pointed to in the article have ads, I'd say you're right.

Have they fixed the scam problem though?

Google may actively prefer AI slop over human quality content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II2QF9JwtLc

Obviously Google uses AI to rate sites, because everyone uses AI for everything, and AI has been proven to rate AI-generated text higher than human-generated.

Very amazing. And this is the worst it will ever be. We'll soon be exploring 4k versions of this and we can open every trash can in Tunis. Fascinating. Had a lot of fun (tedious tho) going out to Alcatraz and figuring out how to get in.

Curious, did you use a vehicle/glider, or did you take the heel-toe express all the way there?

You can activate flying mode by double-jumping and crank the speed up with +.

Haha just walked - is a glider possible?

Congrats to India - please catch up to China. Regards, the west.

That’s not going to happen anytime soon. The Chinese model doesn’t work for India. China is essentially a benevolent dictatorship where they can tell people what cities they can live in, how many kids to have and when redevelopment is needed they just end the lease early and move everyone out because no one owns anything there. Any change in India is going to be much slower. Even land acquisition for any project is like pulling teeth. They literally had to pare down the terminal at the Mumbai airport because they couldn’t evict slum dwellers that had encroached on land that they don’t even own or have any rights to. The Indian Constitution is very friendly to the under class to the detriment of rapid development.

The real gold is content created before the internet!

This is an example of the fact that while only 1% would watch the whole thing, they just raised their hands as the marks, to be worked on through the whole funnel.

A view counts as a view before the full video though, so running it as an ad still makes it look like you have an audience.

I always find fun and comfort in imaging my work as part of the lore of a medieval saga. Think of being a character in Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones - no matter how big or small - and the role your actions play in the larger story. Side quests are welcome.

Crazy how it used to be paywalled and they didn’t event make any money off of it!

Thanks for releasing this, it’s important to unleash government information that we’ve paid for as tax payers, especially if there’s 0 risk to national security.

In this case I may be missing something on enemy military missions to extract cyanide from rare American apples and use it against us.

Like everybody, I waffle back and forth, depending on the day and the project.

I have so many bundled-up ideas for content in my head, but I can never find time to get them out. In addition, I hate wasting time on building tables, formatting text, etc. There's a reason that a lot of busy CEOs don't hand-write blog posts, but will go on podcasts, video, and conferences, and spend hours there. The reason is that the communication speed is much faster talking and being interviewed. All that to say is that via a combination of transcription and AI-powered formatting, that's an area where LLMs can really help.

I do think LLMs + search is more helpful than a Google Search. Clicking through all the links for you and bundling it together is a much better experience and truthfully it finds and surfaces ideas and content that a normal search just doesn't, or it takes the user going to the 4th page to get there.

Third, entertainment. We often find ourselves deep in a doomscroll looking at images and video - on Instagram, TikTok, whatever. If AI can produce entertaining imagery and video for the pure goal of decompressing and relaxing after a long day out at the oil fields or as a janitor at the elderly care home, then there's value there. Sure it may not be beautiful art like an Oscar-winning film, but is it worse than reality TV? Even better is those who enjoy the creativity of seeing images from their mind produced vividly via something like Midjourney.

So all that being said, that's where I'm seeing the value.

But I totally agree with the author - if I have a team member that puts work in front of me that's supposed to be well done, and it's obviusly GPT-generated, that's an issue - unless we agreed on it.

The point of doing good work a lot of times means doing something new and creative. If it's AI-generated, there still has to be the human touch. I could go on - we all have perspectives here - but I'll stop there!

That immediately came to mind as well. Kind of like Nikita and his apps!
