To thwart spammers from exploiting insecure bulk email servers, Google and Yahoo now require domain owners to add Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC) policies or risk having their email messages blocked by their platforms. Fortunately, there's an easy method to add them using Cloudflare.

#SEO in your <head> vs too much #JavaScript?

This comes up from time to time, I thought I'd be more elaborate once (it's not new). Search engines (I only really know Google, YMMV) render HTML pages and there are some settings that need to be found in the <head> of a page in order to be valid. If you care about these settings, don't make the <head> brittle, and ideally move those settings to the top of the <head>.

This means that a publisher with unique content has no means to ensure it is not absorbed en masse by an entity that could then cannibalise their traffic. In terms of copyright, I am sure OpenAI will rely on the argument that any reproduction of content is transformative and therefore not protected. That won't be much relief to the publisher if chatgpt bing takes off.

That leaves us with the odd situation where chatGPT powered search could lead to the deterioration of its own data sources.

Presumable a chatGPT bing feature will be using the openAI crawl rather than bingbots own crawl. As far as I have been able to find, there is no practical way yet to block chatGPT from crawling and absorbing your own content. ../cont

Why go looking for a website to visit when the answer is already in front of you?

Many of the billions of pages that were crawled to train chatGPT are dependent on search traffic. Without that traffic website revenue dries up and the information ceases to be published. Whilst chatGPT will retain knowledge of what was previously published, it will never be able to update it's information from any publisher who has shut up shop... /cont

I've been thinking about #chatGPT again, and specifically Microsoft's plans to add the technology to Bing. I have concerns.

A chat like interface to search is clearly going to increase the volume of zero-click searches (searches where the user gets the answer without having to click through to a web result). We see this already with Google rich results, but with GPT based results there is unlikely to even be an specific identifiable source that can be cited for any result. ... /cont

I make no apology for my rage. This vile Victorian piece of crap Government has just declared war on working people. When workers democratically vote to strike the Government wants to force them to work against their will & have them sacked if they don’t.

Hey friends - I am in Antarctica with extremely slow and limited internet and I have a book coming out this year that I'd normally be posting more about because pre-orders are *critical* to a book's success.

Help me get the word out?

OUT THERE: THE SCIENCE BEHIND SCI-FI FILM AND TV

From black holes to space elevators and extraterrestrial civilizations, this is a rich and beautifully illustrated book for your coffee table. And astronaut Mae Jemison wrote the Foreword!
