I can't accept that Google hasn't conducted any update yet after the last update in August, it's just that they've been continuing with their shi/tty tactics of wiping us out without officially announcing it
Best news of the day, and no it's not the dysfunctional USA government will likely re-open cause I didn't miss them anyway. Judge Meathead doesn't deserve a paycheck anyway. While I'm waiting on my $0.50 FB settlement payment, I'm dreaming of all the ways I can spend this money. And no, it won't be on FB ads either. Maybe I can buy a stale gumball sitting in an antique gumball machine? LOL

Today was disappointingly interesting. I have two websites, one of which has an 11-year-established background (over 10k products) and the other with hardly any backlinks (less than 1k products). My established website, which gets easily 20-30 new signups and about 20 sales every day, received 3 signups so far. Meanwhile, my other website, which usually receives a sale every other day, had 6 sales in one day today ... So obviously something's up ...
If anyone from the UK has had issues with loss of traffic due to AI overviews, please contact Preiskel solicitors - Sophie in London to be part of a class action, this ruling will help those in USA as there is also legal team in US getting a class action together, I did post the name before but I can't remember without looking it up, if you want it let me know.
$$$$ Kerching, just rush out the technology, let others clean up the mess.

MIT Study Finds Artificial Intelligence Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline</b> - <a href="https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-finds-artificial-intelligence-use-reprograms-the-brain-leading-to-cognitive-decline/">https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-finds-artificial-intelligence-use-reprograms-the-brain-leading-to-cognitive-decline/</a>
<blockquote>A new MIT study titled, Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task, has found that using ChatGPT to help write essays leads to long-term cognitive harm—measurable through EEG brain scans. Students who repeatedly relied on ChatGPT showed weakened neural connectivity, impaired memory recall, and diminished sense of ownership over their own writing. While the AI-generated content often scored well, the brains behind it were shutting down.</blockquote>
When I dream of the future, I dream of flights into space, of exploring, of encountering aliens like those in Star Trek. Then @codecommander:disqus gives me a nightmare version in the form of Idiocracy, I laugh it off, but then you see articles like <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-za/news/other/teachers-worst-fears-confirmed-when-struggling-students-suddenly-started-submitting-a-grade-papers/ar-AA1Qbasy">https://www.msn.com/en-za/news/other/teachers-worst-fears-confirmed-when-struggling-students-suddenly-started-submitting-a-grade-papers/ar-AA1Qbasy</a> and you think maybe Idiocracy is the real future with AI dumbing people so they don't think, they just copy and paste... I've not seen the film, just read what it's about.
Just another example of how badly thought-out and unregulated AI has become. The conspiracy theory is that you make them stupid so they'll be easier to control... AI should be behind a paywall, etc....
