There's a story making the rounds in engineering communities that I can't stop thinking about. A customer-support agent, one of those LLM-plus-tools setups everyone is shipping right now, issues a $4,200 refund to a user who wasn't entitled to it. Not a bug in the...

Keyword research has not changed. What changed is the answer to the question at the end of it, which is: would this be worth winning? On a growing share of queries, the answer now appears above the results, the searcher reads it, and nobody visits anything. Research...
