@TISWIM Hi there, I previously purchased "1.0 Effortless Endurance Self-Coaching Course" but the links/access no longer seem to work, wondering on how I can go about accessing this again, thx!

@tjernlund Cool idea, feels like something like that would get traction

Do they have a gym where every device is smart? Scan your bracelet on peloton, tonal or stuff like these smart dumbbells. Tracks all your reps. Adjusts weights based on your goals machine to machine.

Impressive. Getting close!

@ColeSouth I’d say at least half my searches/queries are done with ChatGPT now instead of google

AI is killing Google right now, but not in the way most people think. Sure ChatGPT will take the place of many Google searches. But the real issue right now is Google search results are worse than ever because AI is such a good BS’er. For the past 25 years, Google search results have been sorted by an algorithm that uses two main factors: authority (the quantity/strength of websites linking to your website) and content (how relevant they deem your content to the user’s search based on the keywords you use and the frequency with which you use them, its length, etc). AI has totally wrecked the content side of that equation. Now any website owner can use an AI writer like Koala (by far the best tool, I’ve tried a bunch of them and have begged @sathoro_ to invest with no luck 😣) spin up 1,000 perfectly SEO-optimized articles that appear to be "well written"… unless you actually know anything about the topic at hand. That’s how you get websites like motherearthtravel​.com exploding with a bunch of AI generated articles on traveling to Europe convincingly telling you that France still uses the Franc and Romania isn’t part of the EU (it joined in 2007). Toetully, Ms. Laurent… The explosion of AI content perfectly written to please Google’s content algorithms puts the company in a real pickle. Crawling and processing this huge increase in web pages is not cheap or easy. Google isn’t the omnipotent tech company with unlimited resources people think it is. Ask anyone in SEO and they’ll tell you that Google’s web crawlers take weeks (or even miss) to index content on websites that used to push new pages into search results within an hour. This could also spell real trouble for AI in general. LLMs are training themselves based on publicly available information on the web. Increasingly more of that information is (incorrectly) written by AI itself. You can see how the training data set becomes worse and worse quality until eventually AI eats itself and ChatGPT starts telling you that sadly Romania was never invited to the EU. For now, what Google is doing is basically cranking the “authority” dial on their algorithm wayyyyy up, since they can’t really tell what content is good vs AI written and optimized garbage. In the past 6 months, Google has pushed several search algorithm updates that absolutely destroyed small websites and rewarded high authority ones. This is predictably being exploited, mostly by failing businesses who happen to have high authority websites built up over years of history that will sell a blog post on any topic to the highest bidder (most notably newspapers, look up “parasite SEO” for a trip down this interesting rabbit hole). That’s why of course we all turn to the Kansas City Star to find the best online psychics, or why we all know the Raleigh News & Observer is the foremost authority on steroids for women. I really don’t see a good solution to this problem for Google. They’ve got some killer assets like YouTube and Cloud, but I’m very bearish on the outlook of their core search product.

NEWS: Elon Musk announced tonight that the first human implanted with @Neuralink’s brain chip has made a full recovery. The patient is able to control a mouse using only their thoughts. Incredible achievement!

We’re so fucked.

This video is incredible. A Chinese speed skater takes off at the beginning of a longer race. Her teammate then sprints to the front, confusing everyone on the “final lap” and easily securing Gold and Silver medals for the team. Watch until the end. Great teamwork.

@DDM19 @soopey Haha, kinda but not really, pretty clear differences

@sollucas @soopey Are they at least similar looking for normal vision???

@soopey @DDM19 Danggggg

@sollucas @DDM19 For real 😳

@DDM19 @soopey For real?
