How long until getting into language model training data is a standard part of the SEO toolkit?

GPT-3 has basically replaced Google for me for searching through humanity's collective memory. Example below. The Google result is reminiscent of AltaVista from c.a. 1998.

I took some calculated risk not bothering with fabric samples but boy am I bad with math. (It's fine, nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of over-dyeing and only looking at it in the right light)

Just splurged on 7 meters of silk to be made into 2 shirts and 1 shawl. Gonna do some linen and cotton shirts first as wearable mockups.

My dad always says, when you start medical school, your friends will ask you about their health problems and you'll just have to say "I don't know". But when you finish medical school, why, now you get to tell them "We don't know".

Many doctors don't like admitting they have no idea what to do, but modern medicine is still very limited. If a doctor seems to ignore your problem, they might be a jerk, but it's worth considering if "treatment" even exists. You can't prescribe a drug that hasn't been invented.

Reading a French article about the legality of sleeping in your car, summary: yes under roughly the same conditions as in Germany, but beware in other countries such as Italy it's forbidden. I haven't looked for an Italian article yet.

I retweeted this without actually reading the thread, now after I have read it I will retweet it again.

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

I've been practicing a poem for the last few weeks. Timed myself saying it at a brisk pace: 40 seconds. Timed myself thinking the words: 22 seconds. My internal monologue is about twice as fast as I can talk.

A decisive defeat can be as thrilling as a decisive victory. Much fighting is instigated not with the goal of winning but to settle things once and for all.

A founding is a crossing of a fitness valley. As such it cannot be a continuous activity. Continuity of skill greatly benefits from continuity of action. Taken together the skill of founding is always at risk of being lost and having to be redeveloped.

The amount of improvements you can make when you're willing to accept a month of degraded performance vastly outweighs the amount of when you want to see results after only one minute.
