@alex_whedon Iâve used all the frontier models for highly nuanced technical research and found Claude to approximate true reasoning far better than the others.
Thereâs something about Claude that is special.
It appears SubQ beats Claude quantitatively, how about qualitatively?
@grok@layz_dreamer@abxxai Do hallucinations persist across sessions? If a hallucination occurs in one session, and dozens of sessions build on that, including sessions designed to challenge the first one, plus peer review from other models, wouldn't a hallucination be rooted out?
@sickdotdev Noticed how negative/adversarial GPT 5.4 is compared to Opus 4.6? I have the two check each other's work and it reveals 5.4's strong new bias to be less "you're right"... it's actually pissy, only reluctantly acknowledging Opus' strong points and always qualifying any agreement

Airbnb's CEO just confirmed what we've been saying. đ
On their Q4 2025 earnings call, Brian Chesky dropped this:
"Traffic that comes from chatbots converts at a higher rate than traffic that comes from Google."
Not marginally. Meaningfully.
Users arriving from ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude aren't browsing. They've already narrowed their options through conversation.
By the time they click, they're ready to act.
đ Why chatbot traffic converts better:
â Users describe exactly what they need in natural language
â AI filters options before the user ever visits your site
â By the time they reach you, they're pre-qualified
â Less volume, but higher intent on every click
Google gives you browsers. AI gives you buyers.
đ The bigger picture:
â AI users consider 3.7 businesses per response (Sagapixel study)
â 60% decide without ever visiting a website
â Reddit discussions cite ChatGPT conversions at ~15.9% vs Google's ~1.76%
â Airbnb now sees chatbot platforms as acquisition partners, not threats
This isn't one company's opinion.
It's a pattern.
â ïž What this means for home services:
Someone asks ChatGPT: "Best emergency plumber in Scottsdale with same-day availability."
That person isn't casually browsing. They have a problem right now. They need a solution right now.
If AI recommends your business, that's not just a lead â it's practically a booked job.
But if you're not in that response, your competitor gets the call. And the customer never even knew you existed.
â How to capture AI traffic that converts:
â Optimize your GBP with specific services and areas â AI pulls from this
â Build content that answers real questions ("How much does drain repair cost in Phoenix?")
â Get your business cited on trusted sources â directories, review sites, Reddit, local publications
â Make sure the first 30% of every page has your key info â that's where AI looks (Kevin Indig's data)
â Focus on being included in AI responses, not just ranking on Google
đ Bottom line:
The game is shifting from volume to intent.
Less traffic, better customers. But only if AI knows you exist.
At Makarios, we help home services businesses get visible where it matters most â in the AI responses that are already replacing Google for high-intent searches.
Is your business showing up when someone asks AI for help? đŹ
