NEW: My latest feature in @FastCompany just dropped after six months of investigative reporting.

It’s a deep dive into how bot farms are hijacking social media — and fabricating trends we believe to be true:

There's a status code that doesn't exist in the official HTTP spec, your SEO tools don't surface it, and it may be quietly making your content invisible to ChatGPT and Perplexity.

Not underperforming. Invisible.

We've been seeing a clear pattern in our AI Search Pilot work and when we dug into the data with the team at Profound across 700K pages, the numbers were hard to ignore.

The fix isn't complicated. But you have to know what you're looking for first.

AI Search has a prerequisite layer that most SEOs have never thought about. Visibility isn't possible without eligibility.

The full breakdown, what's happening, why it's happening, and what to do about it, is in my new post 👇🏾

While the world has been rightfully focused on the war with Iran and its implications, Hamas in Gaza continues to re-establish its complete and firm grip on power, control, and all aspects of life in the destroyed, shrunken, and besieged coastal enclave. Inside the “red zone” that the terror organization controls, there are dozens of checkpoints set up by Hamas’s governmental police, as well as the group’s al-Qassam Brigades – covering the entirety of the Strip’s north-to-south travel axes. Whatever the Board of Peace and its executive committee and the technocratic committee of Palestinians (NCAG) had planned, it’s hard to imagine anything dislodging Hamas’s firm fascist and violent grip on 2 million people in Gaza. While Hamas is severely weakened and a mere shell of its former self, it still has access to sprawling tunnels, and it has reorganized & re-established its hierarchical structures.

Hamas has millions of civilians to use as perpetual human shields in a Jihadi, suicidal project that is willing to finish Gaza off, not unlike Hitler’s last stand in Berlin in 1945, when the Soviets wiped out the city to end the Third Reich. The war with Iran has served Hamas in Gaza by reducing international focus and scrutiny on its growing and expanding influence and control.

At #NeverIsNow, one of our panels explored how antisemitism is influencing AI systems. More than just making sure AI chatbots refuse antisemitic prompts — AI companies should be incorporating safeguards that enable their models to push back, debunk false premises and redirect users to accurate sources.

@EinatWilf @Adi_Schwartz Congrats to you all. Well deserved. It is a terrifying film. And an important film that totally changed my perspective.

[ד״ר עינת וילף Dr. Einat Wilf @EinatWilf]

The New York Times of-course is accurate. The invasion and massacre of October 7th perfectly reflect, and were carried out in the name of the Palestinian "cause" , which has always been prioritizing destroying Jewish sovereignty over building anything for the Arabs themselves.

עוד רחוק היום שמישהו יוכל לקבוע האם הסבב השני מול איראן (השני וחצי למעשה, בנובמבר 2024 ישראל יצאה לפעולה משמעותית שם) היה הצלחה שתשפיע באופן יסודי ולטובה על השלום והביטחון באיזור.

ישנן נקודות מרכזיות סביב ההישג הנדרש ואסטרטגיית היציאה שעוד נותרו פתוחות, אבל כבר עכשיו אפשר לקבוע שאתמול היה קודם כל יומם של שני גופי ענק במערכת הביטחון הישראלית - אגף המודיעין וחיל האוויר.

CENTCOM Update

TAMPA, Fla. – As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.

Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.

The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.

Mr. Mayor didn't want to speak to Iranian New Yorkers when the fascist regime slaughtered tens of thousands of their countrymen & women, but is only addressing the handful of Iranians in NY who may still be supporters of the Islamic Republic. Just like Palestinian lives seem to only matter to most when Israel is involved but not when Hamas is, the Mayor & hordes of politicians like him didn't care when masses of Iranians were butchered by the Islamist regime, but suddenly, Iranian lives matter when the US and Israel are involved. Comrade Mayor had nothing to say about 6 Arab Muslim countries being struck today by the Islamic Republic's missiles, during the month of Ramadan, nor is he addressing Arab New Yorkers about their nations being attacked by the Ayatollah's regime.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

The tyrant is no more - Ali Khamenei, whose direct support to Hamas & Islamic Jihad destroyed the Gaza Strip and countless lands in the Arab and Muslim worlds, perished in the most humiliating way possible. This is indeed a win for the people of Iran, the people of Gaza, the cause of peace, and hopes for a better Middle East. His demise will hopefully end the scourge of the Wilayat al-Faqih Doctrine, which ushered in the darkness of the Ayatollahs in Iran & beyond. Importantly, while this is a major blow to the Islamic Republic, it is critical to plan for the fact that the regime likely planned for such a scenario and is prepared to proceed with the war and destruction campaign as it faces an existential crisis.

The Great Hospital Con: Doctors Without Borders (MSF) pulled out of the al-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, and just yesterday explained its decision. It has said exactly what I have repeatedly talked about for over a year and shared personal examples of friends of mine being imprisoned, interrogated, and tortured within various facilities inside the hospital from Hamas's intelligence and security services. MSF is two years late to this recognition but it is ultimately confirming what even a child in southern Gaza could have told the organization or the NYT, Washington Post, BBC, Al Jazeera and countless others had they bothered to ask - which is that Hamas has literally turned Gaza's three main hospitals into headquarters for security, ministerial, and administrative operations.

When I said this time and again, people would yell and scream how I was irresponsibly justifying Israel’s targeting of the hospital, even as the same people would not utter a word about their favorite terrorist fascist organization jeopardizing the safety of medical facilities for two years of the deadly war.

Congratulations “pro-Palestine” activists: you have been conned by your beloved resistance organization which has caused the death of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians by its conduct and behavior.

Get Hamas out of Gaza’s hospitals now!

@beverlygage Enjoyed your interview on @FareedZakaria. How likely do you think it is that the rise socialism spirals into a new strain of communism?

@AdrienneLaF Conspiracies r profitable. Conspiracies extend sessions for social nets. Modern demagogues & foreign adversaries collude to game opaque algorithms, shaping opinion in stride. There’s no audience for level headedness. Read my Fast Co story abt it next week.
