This program itself is pretty harmless. The red flag, however, is that it's possible Shaotran was hired by Musk due to this project because he already had some domain knowledge in the voting machine space for this project/program.

As long as the Supreme Court acts in secrecy, issuing shadow docket rulings with no explication, there is no reason to believe it is legitimate. Court rulings in the US should presumptively be completely transparent to the public with only rare exceptions. Roberts subverted the norms toward secrecy.

the future of the web is so very bright that you can barely look at it directly

But the traffic stats don't lie: It's a bloodbath. A web written to get attention from search machines may soon become a web written by machines for attention from Al, an index of crawlable footnotes written to be cited, of lists and diagrams yearning for a passing excerpt, or, perhaps, a moment in "position zero." Al firms, with comprehensive control over their users' experiences, will have leverage to simply charge for advertising, and nearly every one has announced its intention to do so. There will still be attention for clever marketers to skim from chatbots and Al search engines here and there, but competition for those leftover eyeballs will be intense. Everyone will be looking for an edge, and the world of GEO will claim to offer one. For his company, at least, Cadwallader sees a bright future.
"If Jeff Bezos says bet on things that won't change," he says, "marketers will still be marketing."

A former Google engineer told me that he'd discovered something strange: ChatGPT sometimes *uses* Google to retrieve websites now, not just Bing or internal tools. His evidence is solid, and neither OpenAI nor Google denied his findings when I asked

Like other SEO-to-GEO experts, he says that while traffic and mentions may be harder to get, much of what people should being doing is the same: publishing quality content that someone might actually find useful. He has deeper reasons to believe in continuity between the old and new worlds, however. Earlier this month, he published an investigation into ChatGPT's search functionality. OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft, along with various public statements, gave the impression that the company's products, when they needed to
"search" the web, would use Bing, or search tools developed internally (for a while, he said, this led a lot of marketers to try to optimize for Microsoft's also-ran search engine, which had never previously cracked double-digit market share.) By creating decoy pages visible only to Google, lyer suggested he'd found "undeniable proof that ChatGPT uses Google search engine," querying OpenAI's biggest competitor before synthesizing results for its users.

It wouldn't be the first time an SEO specialist revealed something strange and surprising about how a major tech product actually works.
In this case, lyer appears to be onto something.
Asked about the experiment, OpenAI responded on background, emphasizing its ongoing relationship with Microsoft, suggesting that it used a variety of search providers, but not specifically denying that ChatGPT could be Googling. Informed of lyer's findings, Google declined to comment.

How is the SEO industry responding to the AI-driven collapse in Google traffic? By pivoting to "GEO," and thinking up ways to influence, trick, or introduce bias into chatbots — and, of course, by using AI themselves nymag.com/intelligence...

Generative-engine optimization - also known as answer-engine optimization, GEO, or, if you're feeling limber, LLMGEO - is best understood as an aspirational term, a way for marketers to assure their employers and clients that, in a world where people spend their days chatting with fast-developing Al chatbots that have eaten the entire web and can regurgitate it on demand, there are still ways to get an edge for their brands. Chatbots are trained on the web, continuously scrape the web, and often still link to the web; some have search features built in or call on search engines in the course of conversations with users. In other words, the optimizers still have hope, and early folk wisdom is taking shape, making the rounds, and finding its way into practice.
"LLMs, like Google Al mode or ChatGPT, will use what is called a fan-out technique with lots of queries covering every angle," says Solis.
"Then they will match these variations not with whole pages but with passages, or chunks," she said. In response to a question, in other words, a chatbot will tend to summarize and excerpt, with citations rather than prominent links. If you want to get cited, she says, you should publish content with that in mind. A lot of SEO-driven content "was very wordy," she said, which doesn't help with being scraped by AI.
Now, she said, publishers should "structure the content in an easier way to be grabbed" - in citable chunks, with clear authorship.

Mass-pivoting SEO specialists have a partner in venture capital: In the last two years, dozens of startups have popped up and collectively raised hundreds of billions of dollars around chatbot analytics, optimization, and marketing.
Profound, an analytics platform that promises to help clients get "mentioned" by Chat GPT, Gemini, Meta AI, Perplexity, and others
- including Deepseek - has raised tens of millions of dollars from major VC firms and counts among its clients major international brands. "We're at the inflection point where people don't need to visit websites," says CEO
James Cadwallader. "ChatGPT visits on my behalf, a new webpage is created, these are the citations, this is where it came from, and no one cares," he says. "Answer engines hijack, or steal, the relationship."

To help play it better, Profound offers something else to its clients. "Using a rote human brain to look through the data and do the content is no longer the path,, Cadwallader says. "You need to use technology now to create this content." That means Al-generated content created with new metrics and formats in mind.
"We'll use state-of-the-art reasoning models to go crunch that data and replace client workflows, to create the content that's Al-optimized, very highly schemaed, and information dense." (For an idea of what AI-assisted, GEO-friendly content of the future might look like, look no further than Profound's own website or the outputs of virtually any "deep research" tool on offer by AI companies - it all reads roughly like the output of a chatbot). Al will help solve the problem of Al, in other words. With a "human in the loop," still, of course.
