Today we launched the community-requested Brave Origin: an optional, paid version of our browser that offers Brave's leading privacy protections and ad blocker without its extra features.

Origin is live now on desktop and Android, and coming soon to iOS: https://t.co/bMnPcRUzgN

Big words? Nope. Data! The lack of accessibility in your site has been tanking your rankings. Come to my talk at #WCEU on Friday June 5, 3:15pm CEST.

Rather meet over coffee in the venue and discuss? https://t.co/6lHywakp6R

Poland announced today it had formally asked the United States to establish a permanent military base on its territory, seizing on President Donald Trump’s decision to send an additional 5,000 American troops to the country. https://t.co/d2sTc1Va3a

Immer mehr Finanzämter nutzen KI-gestützte Risikomanagementsysteme, um unauffällige Steuererklärungen automatisch zu bearbeiten und verdächtige Fälle gezielt zu prüfen. Auch das Training von KI mithilfe von Bürgerdaten soll künftig erlaubt sein.

Friendly reminder that Microsoft has ~80 products or tools with the name “Copilot”.

Tey Bannerman counted them up: “there are now Copilots inside Copilots, Copilots for other Copilots, and a physical Copilot key on your keyboard for summoning them.”

.... AI Overviews reduce clicks to the #1 result by 58%. That’s up from 34.5% just 10 months earlier. The trend is accelerating....

[Tim Soulo 🇺🇦 @timsoulo]

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.

@DonAlt I really appreciate your posts, aber suche Dir bitte bessere Schimpfwoerter, 🙏

Models never include themselves because *they* aren’t in the past, so are missing from the data on which they’re built. Then the model is deployed, scales, and breaks itself. We never seem to tire of doing this.

Coincidentally, up to 37% of adults with insurance skip necessary medical care because they can’t afford it.

🔴 A 19-year-old #Linux vulnerability called CIFSwitch allows low-privileged users to gain root access.

SpaceX security engineer Asim Viladi Oglu Manizada discovered the logic flaw between the kernel’s CIFS client and the cifs-utils package. The issue has existed since 2007.

A patch was merged into mainline Linux on May 19, 2026.
