get through and it takes me several hours to get to it. So please excuse any of that comment spam.
By explicitly noting these ongoing "smaller core updates" – which they've done quietly since 2019 but now spell out in the devs' guide – they're nudging site owners to focus on real improvements rather than calendar-watching. It's like the algorithm equivalent of compound interest: consistent tweaks compound over time, rewarding quality content without the fanfare.
Whatever they do, I hope they don't boost a mostly AI blog that's been stealing and rewriting my content. Wish there were a way to report this nonsense.
Damn, that Non Player Combat is genuinely terrible. I mean don't get me wrong it's crazy that it was made entirely from AI and I fully understand this tech will get better but if it wasn't for the novelty that it is AI it would not have any entertainment value whatsoever.
That way they won't have to announce a large core update...
Given John has said they do updates every day, I'm not surprised of little core updates.
Famous actors will probably only be able to sell their likeness for sequels, for new film series, they won't need established stars, if you look at Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and James Bond, the films used relative unknowns so famous actors aren't all that special to a successful film, they may help not as much as a 20 million USD may like to think. The Bourne films could have been just as successful with an unknown and could easily be done with an AI actor.
Film cost production may come down but will tickets?
Does explain why we got no new Bond, AI Bond, lol.

Gemini 3, one minute ago. Good luck, USA, and good luck to us, NATO partners.
if you are a famous actor, singer, or anything, you can sell rights to your image. If you are a newcomer, you will struggle. AI is going to pretty much end the possibility of upward mobility.
Except they've been rolling out new functionality within Search Console for the last two months. Admittedly, they've still not added explicit AIO/AIM reporting for impressions/citations/clicks, which SEOs are crying out for, but they have said this information is included in the regular performance report.
It's true AI is a loss maker for some companies such as Open ai, kept afloat by investors such as Microsoft. Anthropic is helped by Google. Eventually the tide will turn and they'll be bought.
AI overviews are actually hurting Google with AdSense but Scumdar is either too stupid or good at deflecting.
Reading the paper today, saw an article about Animation creating the first fully ai television series Non Player Combat, a survival television series, quite scary what you can do. It was produced for 21,000 which compared to an episode of UK traitors at 75,000 , you know it's going to concern for jobs and films,. When films cost 100+ million to produce, film companies are definitely going to take an interest. Gone are the days when actors could command 20 million for a film. Most people will watch a film for story not actors and so it begins.

And then there are the indexing issues that haven't been resolved for six months! When checking the news URL in Search Console, it says “URL available to Google,” but it's not showing up in search results for four-five hours!
For me, their shitty update started at the beginning of December. The website is half-dead. One day, signs of life, three days, dead. No income, no traffic, nothing. Thanks to Google for the holiday gift.
Lol I wouldn't put it past Google's greed to have ads on pilots HUD. Scumdar probably just went from 6 to midnight after hearing that idea to steal next.
