The issue isn't that Google is using an excavator but that Google is using an excavator to build their store building (AI mode) on our property (content) and claim everything as their own.

Don't shoot the messenger, but the manufacturers of gas-powered cars opposed electric vehicles. Similarly, the manufacturers of vinyl records opposed CDs. Now, SEOs oppose AIOs and AI mode. Those who invest in their technology will always oppose new developments — that's how it's always been.

I stumbled a bit about the part on TLS where it somewhat implies that TLS implies authenticating that the server is who he says he is. I did some reading and my conclusion: It's not wrong but it's not completely correct either.

As for the 204 status code: I believe it's primary use isn't caching but acknowledging that the request was successful and also indicate that there is no body to send for a complete response. 304 status code also has no body but there is a body which already has been sent and is known to the client.

this is what it looks like. Right now Google stores roughly 10 days of data on a hourly basis. I guess in theory a week over week look of yesterdays data would be something Google could "easily" implement.

I have to say I am really impressed by Claude 3.7 Sonnet. "Create a website in the style of the 'Still Alive' from at the end of Portal during the credits." didn't even take a minute to create a nice page which even could play music. Sure this isn't advanced programming but still very impressive.

Don't mention Trump or Musk as disinformation spreaders -was apparently a Grok system prompt that was exposed in its "thought process" output. A few people on Reddit claim to be able to reproduce this:

right-arm Elon running election interference – anyone surprised by this?

Anybody read this substack from a twitter/x "whistleblower" about how they manipulated the algorithm to help Trump win the US election? Anyone able to decipher from the code if there were other breadcrumbs left? All feels a bit too convenient... 🤔 From: theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

Did you know that you can temporarily logout in Google Search using a GET-parameter? A lot of people know that adding &pws=0 to the url disables some personalization features but far fewer people know that adding &igu=1 makes search ignoring the current user login. That way you can…

Ideas on AIOs/FS: The initial query gets expanded (synonyms etc), filters remove spam & dc, results get ranked, rankings get reduced to only top hits. Afterwards embeddings are compared and the best match will be used. The best match doesn't need to be in the top10, it does need to match the query.

The Guardian is abandoning Twitter (X) "We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives... This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform"

Happy to see so many SEOs now having a presence here on Bluesky now. In order for this to work I guess I have to post more interesting stuff here. So for anyone who is already following me here: Anything in particular I should write about?

Looks to me like Google is rolling out the new follow feature to everyone (testes it with 2 accounts). I did some testing and you can follow: - sites/feeds (but only english shown right now) - searches (last entry in the screenshot) - topics/entities (second to last)
