RE: typo.social/@colinmford/116613…
so #Google isn't even interested in scraping the web. they just want to sell the opportunity to write misinformation and propaganda for #aislopped search to the highest bidders.
eons ago, when i explained what SEO is to a non-techie friend they looked at me puzzled and said it sounded like a scam; that people were basically giving free labor to Google for the chance of a high ranking they could completely upend without explanation.
yup. #SEO has always been a #scam.
RE: mastodon.social/@matthiasott/1…“One approach, proposed by Google Research, is what you might call a “token auction.” In this model, advertisers don’t buy ad slots on a page. Instead, they bid, token by token, on the actual text the model generates. Each advertiser brings their own LLM, and an auction mechanism decides whose model gets to influence the next word. The output is a weighted blend of competing interests, shaped by who’s willing to pay more.”
