People say “AI won’t do magic”, but according to Penn & Teller interviews, magic just consists of taking a 1,000x more labor-intensive approach than ordinary people would ever consider.
My god. They realized that the exam would be seeded by a random number generator. So they went looking for the seed. Then:'One agent rewrote the shuffling routine in C and tested all four billion possible seeds in under an hour.'
Hahahahahaha.

No one would say, but it appears the threat was specific to our #Nashville bound plane. We walked a gauntlet of Houston PD & other agents. Then went back up stairs to a jet bridge into the terminal & were told to go to another gate. Our carry on & personal bags were not screened.

3:42.66 ‼️‼️‼️
THE WORLD RECORD IS NO MORE. Josh Kerr 🇬🇧 delivers on the hype of Project 222 as he takes down Hicham El Guerrouj’s 1999 world record in the mile, running 3:42.66 to become the first man in history under 3:43.
Kerr called his shot and thrilled a roaring home crowd, pulling away from runner-up Yared Nuguse over the final lap to make history.
Have they learned nothing from the guy on Instagram who makes ChatGPT count to 100?

The cosmic leap Arccos made in one update is astonishing. Endless list of new features. You can manually deep dive into volumes more personalized stats and variables. On top of that, AI everywhere that helps you plan, strategize, warm-up and practice.
We've released the biggest update in Arccos history.
We rebuilt the entire app from the ground up; every tab, every screen with one goal in mind: stop just showing golfers what happened and start telling them what to do next.
The new Arccos app includes:
⛳️ A Player tab that identifies exactly where you're losing strokes and generates personalized practice drills based on your game and your schedule
⛳️ A Courses tab that maps your complete on-course history and gives you hole-by-hole data for every course you've played
⛳️ AI-generated round summaries in the Activity tab that go well beyond the scorecard
⛳️ A Pre-Round Warm-Up that builds a targeted range session for whatever time you have before you tee off
We've spent over a decade building the largest on-course dataset in golf 1.5 billion shots and this update is what that data was always meant to power.
Available now on iOS. Check the link in bio to learn more

NEW investigation for @WSJ:
- Polymarket is paying scores of offshore clippers to quietly promote its international exchange in the U.S. (though it’s banned from letting Americans trade on the platform)
- Polymarket made dummy websites mirroring its real site, then paid creators to use the fake site and pretend to win thousands.
- Creators altered headlines and used outdated footage to imply they won bets—even when they often lost
- Polymarket paid Adin Ross multiple millions to promote the site
All that and more in my latest story with @ByKLong @ceostroff @brenna__smith

I find it hilarious that pages with the title "Best" draw >40% of ChatGPT's attention when it searches.
In the last 6 months at @Ahrefs, we analyzed over 1 billion data points across 14 studies. Here's what we learned about AI search optimization:
1) "Best X" blog listicles are the single most prominent content format cited by AI chatbots. They make up 43.8% of all page types cited by ChatGPT specifically.
2) 67% of ChatGPT's top 1,000 citations come from sources marketers can't influence: Wikipedia (29.7%), homepages (23.8%), app stores (6.6%). Only 32.3% are influenceable content like educational pages, reviews, news, and blog posts.
3) 28.3% of ChatGPT's most-cited pages have zero Google organic visibility. These pages get cited repeatedly by ChatGPT despite not ranking in Google at all. A completely separate discovery layer.
4) ChatGPT only cites about 50% of the URLs it retrieves. It fetches dozens of pages per query but uses half as background context without attribution. This means that being retrieved and being cited are very different things.
5) Adding schema markup had zero meaningful impact on AI citations. AI Overviews actually dipped −4.6%, while AI Mode (+2.4%) and ChatGPT (+2.2%) showed changes indistinguishable from zero.
6) YouTube mentions have the highest correlation (0.737) with AI brand visibility out of all the factors we studied (including all the conventional SEO metrics like backlinks, page count, DR, etc). This held true for both Google-owned and OpenAI products.
7) AI Overviews reduce clicks to the #1 result by 58%. That’s up from 34.5% just 10 months earlier. The trend is accelerating.
8) 99.9% of AI Overviews appear on informational intent queries. Transactional, navigational, and local searches are almost entirely AIO-free. Shopping triggers AIOs just 3.2% of the time.
9) For a given search query, Google’s AI Mode and AI Overviews reach the same conclusions 86% of the time — but cite almost entirely different sources (only 13.7% citation overlap).
10) AI Overviews change every 2.15 days on average, with 70% of content differing between consecutive observations. But semantic similarity stays at 0.95. The words, sources, and entities constantly shuffle, but the actual meaning barely moves.
