Did you actually conduct the experiment? What was the outcome? Based on my experiments (across hundreds of thousands of LLM chats) llms.txt does not have any measurable impact in the vast majority of scenarios.

I actually think the AI Overviews from Google have improved a lot in the last 2 years. They used to be trash. And now they are often good-enough so that I do not even switch to ChatGPT anymore. The traditional search results suffer a lot be

Pure non-AI googling will not work since many websites now use AI to create content. And so far, no search engine has managed to reliable detect and filter that out.

I like the idea. But currently the only thing I can see is "shift from model capability discussion toward tool and workflow integration". This does not really motivate me to create an account.

Looks interesting! Which LLM are you using under the hood?

The author is referring to the concept of "authority" as it is used in SEO-circles. Since a lot of websites link to MSN, Forbes, and the NYT, they have a high Page Rank. This is interpreted as "high authority".

In the past, you would type a question into Google. To get the full, detailed answer you had to click on the Wikipedia search result. With ChatGPT or Google AI Mode, you get all answers directly in the chat. And you can even ask follow-up q

> people having AI talk to their partner about deep relationship stuff. I have read stories about people using AI to write their Tinder messages, eulogies, etc. Gives me a weird/strange feeling.

Many things contributors are doing could be handled by AI agents. We would just need a good system to a) keep humans in the loop and b) sort out bad actors.

If if all this is true, LLMs would still need to create a repository of such aggregated "summarizations of secondary sources". LLMs cannot in real time find and read thousands of secondary sources. Especially not if some of these

I like to idea of using AI to make Wikipedia better. There are many small tasks simple AI agents could handle. For example: Go to every article in the English Wikipedia of a Spanish city. Check data like inhabitants, major, etc. and compare

Everyone benefits! Similar to when Google pushed people to make mobile-friendly websites, fast websites, secure websites, etc.

> putting our competitors down I did not put anybody down. I am surprised people still start to build in this very crowded space. I was genuinely hoping for a unique twist/idea - like a focus on local, on non-western LLMs, etc. But

Google is using a special version of Gemini (fast, small) and a special version of their internal ranking API (faster, fewer anti-spam/quality measures). That makes them very fast. But that also leads to a ton of hallucinations. If you

Regular Cloudflare + heavy caching should solve all crawling problems, no? For most bot visits, there should not be a single database request.

Having a unique brand name certainly makes it easier for both humans and LLMs to identify the brand mentions and attribute those to your brand.

Google must really be feeling the pressure from ChatGPT. They picked up pace in a very noticeable way.

No. In the end Google was allowed to keep Chrome and their advertising business.

Super interesting to see how - for the same set of prompts - GPT and Claude rely on just 50-60 domains while Perplexity and Gemini cite 100-140.

Hi, Malte from Peec AI here. It is wrong that our "snapshots" are not reproducible. Also, AIVO and PSOS are made up concept that nobody but you is using or accepts. Just because you write in a scientific, authoritative manner does

Can you explain the exploited part? My understanding is they performed work and were paid for it at market rate. So just regular capitalism. Or was there more to it?

Any idea why they only raise small amounts every few months ($180M in July, now $200M)? Can they not find a private equity investors willing to commit a larger sum? Or is their evaluation risking so quickly that it is cheaper for them to ra

Doesn't the existence - and lack of adoption - for Ecosia and similar services suggest that Europe cannot easily build FAANG overnight? Technically, we can do it. But unless we go the Chinese route of blocking US vendors, a lot of peop

In August, Youtube received about 6 billion clicks from organic search. That is 20% of Youtube's total website traffic. I think that is significant. Source: Similarweb, world-wide
