While I know @JenniferSey took this position based on principles, it’s also a brilliant move from a PR perspective. The exposure this has created is massive and will have a long lasting positive impact in her business.
Would y’all like to see me cover this topic in an upcoming livestream?

The number of people writing me right now asking to work at @xx_xyathletics is insane. Everybody hates HR.

@joehall Most people just post pics of their food, rather than bragging about it! :P

@lilyraynyc Seems to me Google should be asking YOU for travel planning advice!
English
Maybe I’m a stubborn old lady but the last thing I want is AI giving me travel advice.
I already struggle with recommendations from humans. 😂🤭
The entire joy of using search engines was to go down those rabbit holes on my own terms.

@lilyraynyc I bet @edzitron's newsletter subscriptions are blowing up today! <3

I read it. Everyone in the entire SEO industry should read it. It explains a whole lot.

@rustybrick @dannysullivan @searchliaison they apparently don't realize that such actions just destroy any shred of credibility that the platform could claim.

Reddit moderators continue to remove @dannysullivan the @searchliaison comments from a thread specific to what he said on X - so weird seroundtable.com/reddit-remove-…

@lilyraynyc Don't sweat it, kiddo... you've got more supporters than that idiot has braincells!

It really sucks to feel like I can’t speak freely in this place anymore.

A new cat and mouse game? -> Nightshade, a free tool letting artists “poison” AI models that attempt to train on their artwork without permission, is now available to download on Mac and PC
"It applies a tag that subtly alters the image at the pixel level so other AI programs see something totally different than what’s actually there." venturebeat.com/ai/nightshade-…

@lilyraynyc @markcandour Agreed! Very well written and thought-provoking.

This article by @markcandour is one of the best SEO articles I’ve read in a long time.
It provides some great explanations and ideas about why the influx of AI-generated content has been a big challenge for Google, and how Reddit/UGC may be involved

@TaylorDanRW I was online then, but only doing content. Started doing SEO in 2003

Rephrase.
Looking for 2-3 people to talk about what SEO was like in 1994, 2004, and 2014.

Who was doing SEO in 1994?

@clairecarlile It's a bold statement to wear a lot of animal prints given what the proper name for those kinds of shoes is - Brothel Creepers 🤣🫣
English
@glenngabe Agreed! And maybe I'm missing something, but I fail to see how it can end up revenue-positive.

SGE continues to evolve. I'm now seeing what I'm calling "SGE lite" in the SERPs. SGE doesn't trigger a large block by default anymore... it's now much smaller with a large "Show more" button. Again, IMO SGE will not roll out unless it's revenue-neutral or positive... Stay tuned:

@simoncox just a friendly nudge, per Ammon's suggestion... and a thank you for your many valuable contributions to the Bogus Hangout.

@dawnieando I agree, in terms of relevance judgment, but I would think (hope?) they'd continue to use humans to assess credibility/trust questions.
English
I suspect this is going to have a monumental impact should Google also go down this route. Could signal the end of reliance on human quality raters and the quality raters guide etc for relevance evaluation. It's massive.
Mark Sanderson@IR_oldie
Incredible talk from @pt_ir, Bing now uses GPT-4 for its relevance judgements. It is producing more accurate labels than crowd sourcing and search has substantially improved. Synthetic labels have been a holy grail of retrieval research for decades. @rmit_cidda @RMITComputing

IMO Gary is NOT saying links don't matter. He's just explaining that links are not as powerful of a factor as they used to be. Remember, Google is using machine learning w/major algo updates. There could be thousands of signals sent to a ML system, and the system dictates weighting, which then dictates rankings. It's complex...

@Adri_Grace_OC @joehall @aardrian Not to mention the fact that AudioEye falls far shy of the "compliance" they say they provide!

@dannywhitehouse I am reminded of the website to representation vector patent which requires sites to meet 2 quality thresholds, plus fit a very strict category classification based on niche &. Industry. A tough standard to meet. Cc: @lilyraynyc
