End of campaign ad: "Do you want data centers built in your national parks?" - easy layup, use AI to write the ad if you want some irony in there.

The former is much, much better but it has quite the following. Like there's an overflow parking lot on Barbur Blvd.

What if Google Search Console comparison reports worked the way they should? That's why I built the GSC Compare % Change Chrome Extension. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gsc-c... It shows % change for the comparison and matches day of week for year over year analyses. #seo #analytics #google

He's in the same taxpayer hostage situation to upgrade or build an arena anywhere he could go. He'll flip the team in under five years.

Not the most perplexing thing here, but I love to be in "Southeast Hawthorne" with all the boutiques and not the heat desert regular Hawthorne next to it?

We had exactly one role model of watching a band grow up, and I guess it didn't work?

New: Researchers have quantified how easy AI search is to manipulate. Just 13 words buried in a random Reddit comment can poison AI search results. They suggest this is not easy to stop: "The way you can attack these systems is so much dumber than you think it is" www.404media.co/it-is-trivia...

It Is Trivially Easy to Use Reddit to Manipulate AI Search, Research Suggests
"We show that a tiny snippet—just 13 words—of retrieved text on a UGC website like Reddit, Wikipedia, Quora, or Facebook can change AI agents to output spam / scam content pretty consistently."

Search is an SEO game played at inference time, with a few links skimmed under token pressure, and it is a poor substitute for something that should be deeply woven into the model’s understanding of the world.

I like this one too - baking it is clutch. I add gumbo file and some Cajun seasoning

Apparently some Rockets wanted to get into it with Austin Rivers. And maybe Blake Griffin, too. LAPD was called.

Great sign that he’d rather eat shitheaps of bad PR than get easy layups for basics like playoff Tshirts or letting key staff travel. Premium business mind stuff.

Yeah I learned when they gave me a warning. They’re checking whistles and life jackets now too. It’s revenue generation time! You can just tell them your email btw if you don’t want to laminate it etc etc
