It's funny you said that, since 80% is truly about right for all the before and after surgery pics that come up for searching any variation of searching her name.
It's sad what some people do to themselves. Sort of like when Bobby used to post here before getting reinstitutionalized again, he used to often mention in his rants about all the surgeries he was having to basically look like her.
<blockquote>Who wouldn't prefer the organic version -vs- the paid plastic results?</blockquote>
Exactly. Idgaf how much they were paid to do it, any d0uchebag surgeon who destroyed how hot she was before should be charged with a capital offense for straight guys everywhere.
One thing that I thought about when I went to make lunch is if ChatGPT get stressed because they aren't making money and the bubble has burst, whats not to stop Trump propping it up by buying shares. Look, he's doing it with Intel at the moment, buying shares for the American People. If ChatGPT which isn't making as much money as it is spending, Trump who is on friendly terms with Sam will probably then buy shares for the National Security. People in jobs is more of a national security/interest then any AI competition with China/Russia.
That is the worrying thing about AI is the hallucinations. People don't read disclaimers which say that you check the information, if they did there would not be such a drop in visitors. Hallucinations should be the downfall of AI but they aren't and that's the worrying thing in terms of the internet.
Social Profiles as in Facebook, nope, I hope not, they should be protected for webbots.
After years (if not decades) I have this urge to read a regular book again, a book that was written well before 2022 or so, so I can be sure no AI was involved.
gpt said - They’re no longer a rocket ship; they’re a fortress
that sounds true to me, they not grow as before in a rapid pace but they just keep defending and grow slowly
if it's like this then great, let's make it happen, I'd be more than happy for this, so things can start changing, but with big pile of crap like google it would take few years
Four days ago Cory Doctorow and Ed Zitron did a deep dive interview in Seattle. Worth a watch. Ed Zitron believes the AI bubble will burst no later than Q2 2026 and Doctorow believes an irrational market may allow the bubble to continue longer. They talk about the bubble around the 26:50 mark. When the AI bubble will burst around 53:40 mark.

Big tech already has a good portion of the money in the world. To earn more they must control what people see so that they can control what people believe and what they buy. And I doubt even dangerous things will be banned because big tech is already more powerful then government in many ways.
ChatGPT serves incomplete information; it misses out on providing very vital details associated with people. There have been times, I've responded to it in ways like, "How can you be so dumb? He has a wife and 4 kids and you are telling me there's no details about this family life?" It doesn't go through social profiles, and I'm not sure which sites ChatGPT refers to, but I can't find it trustworthy; some of the answers are terribly misleading.
Idk about others, but as a HUMAN BEING, I'm not quite fond of anything EXTREMELY ARTIFICIAL. Not sure how people aren't bored yet with the AI CRAP, those robotic sentences and use of words like "sophistication" even where it's not needed feels very irritating. IMO, the AI thingy is overhyped. I'm sure there are other people who think in a similar way to me.
sorry to hear that :(
sending hugs over...
ive been told to try Etsy to sell stuff. i even thought of selling ebooks like the old days but i'm weak in crafting sales letter. im honestly stumped on what else to do... ive applied hundreds of jobs and I only got 10 interviews and they're all awful.
:(
Advertisers that only advertise on sites would I guess leave but I think Google could take the hit. Those advertisers I'm talking about are the clickbait ones, you know DiscoverSphere with the Volleyballer and who I blocked because Google aren't doing their jobs properly as they are viral infected. The biggest advertiser on my site is Temu, they won't leave.
I do expect a number of AI Companies will go bust but the big ones like Google won't. ChatGPT will feel intense pain when the bubble bursts because they aren't making as much money as they are spending. In my niche, Google doesn't show adverts on search, just on the pages which makes me think they are incompetent and are not being truthful.
I do see a lot of people using AI so I do think it will be here though. Its only techies and those who know the real cost of AI don't like it.
Apple & Google contract (20 Billion) is continuing, Mehta didn't put a stop to it. All he said was it can't be exclusive so in theory Apple could take 10 Billion from Bing as well to add Bing on the apple but they won't.
AI is expensive, someone said it is 10x more than conventional searches but I doubt that figure.
what's the issue when google gives no zero click strategy? why would advertisers leave because of that? ads are showing on serp, so ads earning them while they are on serp
I think so (court), I remember them being a carpet company but when I tried to look for it, I couldn't. Another killer is them getting rid of CPC, saying they were transitioning to the industry standard of CPM, nah, it's because they can keep more, they're still charging CPC but keeping the difference.
I read that too, that £795 click on Google’s own page vs £0.05 on a publisher site says it all. What case was that didn't the retailer take them to court?
Google keeps the high-margin side of the web economy and lets the rest of us struggle, but I don't think advertisors will carry this on now as they are seeing no clicks due to Sumar's "zero click internet" theory. Goes against the total business ethos of google in my view. Plus you can send 30k people and still not make $700 a day more like $100. No click internet = no click on ads. = no money. and no advertisors
Share price isn't just about search revenue, it's Android and cloud as well. If Google were competent and didn't steal traffic, its revenue would be a heck of a lot more than it is now.
In my niche, like @disqus_mhdMNl16vR:disqus , I don't have adverts on search pages, but there are on the pages that Google directs them to. I read somewhere that a company was charged like $795 for a click, must be from a search page, never had any income based on a 70/30% model like that. Google charges a heck of a lot more for an advert on their site than they do for a website like mine, which is why they can neglect third-party sites like mine. You'd probably need to send 3000 people to a site to make the same amount of money that a $795 click would make so they can afford to neglect third party sites.
Google changed there reporting structures to fudge the accounts since 2022. They have merged into broader categories like "google search and other" this lets them offset weak display income with Youtube performance. Hiding the decline. They removed the network line, this has declined year on year. The amount they pay us is no longer reported. They offset losses in display with other gains, giving the illusion of ad growth. It is hiding the collapse of display advertising. It's accountancy smokescreen. AI investment is now under depreciation over 10 years, if they took this off the profits it would be way way down. It is all just made up. They are surviving on old money from when it was profitable. What we’re seeing in your graph above isn’t growth, it’s financial smokescreen built on the once-profitable model, fudging the numbers to make stock price inflate.
what? search revenue for Google is declining year on year.
