Didn’t mean to come off as rude.
Good luck!
Eventually Ecommerce brands will pay OpenAI to display more fields/include more product data.
The chat model will probably tell users something like, “here’s all of the products from your search, unbiased as usual!”
BUT some of those products will have tags that encourage clicks and conversions:
- “on sale now!” - “4.8/5 reviews” - “inventory in your size”
Who really loses here? I think this an acceptable advertising model for LLMs.
Marketers for small ecommerce businesses have been wondering for years how they’re going to upload merchant data to LLMs.
This is their first moment of clarity.
OpenAI is building their own Google Merchant Center.
GMU student Nicholas Decker’s Substack essay “When Must We Kill Them?” earned him a visit from the Secret Service
It will happen soon. If you work with state innovation departments in small states, you can see them souring on SAAS. It’s going to swing to manufacturing.
After this last election, I think political groups realized local subreddits were underutilized and have regrouped accordingly.
While I still trust some appended Reddit searches on Google, I'm losing faith there too. Product/service recommendation threads are really easy to manipulate.
Bandit is a fantastic role model and I have learned a lot from this pretend dog dad lol.
My father is deceased. I feel like a lot of the advice he would have given me, I picked up from watching Bluey.
I take role playing with my daughter more seriously now.
I used to feel a little uncomfortable being really silly (hard after a stressful day).
Now I try to embrace how silly she is and try to play along. It takes A LOT more concentration.
What a wonderful show. Contrast this with Cocomelon, which is basically screen crack for kids.
I hate that my daughter watched one second of Cocomelon!
BTW - the search you suggested gives you Reddit links first followed by other trusted sites trying to make an affiliate buck. There’s no spam on the first page.
Advertisers keep going back to Meta and Google because their ads work really well. SMBs can get started on either of those networks really fast and get good results.
How is Reddit going to create a strong base of SMB advertisers? I can’t see it.
George Harrison tried his best at producing, but he just didn’t have it. Doris Troy’s album under Apple has very little soul.
Too bad John and Paul didn’t care enough to consistently produce other artists.
It’s called “generations.”
It was a pretty crazy project that took 2+ years to produce.
Anna is really talented. The Gee’s Bend quilters are some of the finest artists in America.
When you hover over the header row, the default cursor becomes a pointer. It gives the impression the columns can at least be sorted.
Google search becoming antiquated in 10-15 years?
