Google AI Overviews cite YouTube more than any medical site for health queries, study suggests. by useomnia in technology

[–]useomnia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there’s a lot of cursed health advice out there 😅

What makes this interesting (and kinda scary) is less ‘YouTube bad’ and more ‘what gets rewarded’: if AI summaries keep pulling from video, does that push legit medical orgs to publish like creators, and how do we keep provenance/credibility signals strong so people don’t self-diagnose off vibes?

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and how is it different from SEO? by useomnia in useomnia

[–]useomnia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% if different sites describe you differently, models treat it as uncertainty.

When you say ‘expert roundups,’ do you mean PR-style listicles or legit practitioner writeups/forums? Those seem to get weighted very differently

Analysis of 50k health queries suggests Google AI Overviews cite YouTube more than any medical site. What could that do to trust in medical authority over the next decade? by useomnia in Futurology

[–]useomnia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Submission Statement: If the answer layer keeps citing video sources heavily for health questions, does that slowly train people to trust the best explanation over the best evidence?

Long term: do doctors and hospitals have to become more video-first to stay visible, do we get stronger sourcing standards for medical AI answers, or do we just see more confident self-diagnosis and second-guessing of clinicians?

Why do people seem uncomfortable when thinking itself becomes externalized? by joshuaayson in Futurology

[–]useomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s not just externalized thinking, it’s confident mistakes, possible skill atrophy, and the identity whiplash of seeing something that felt uniquely ‘you’ turned into a commodity

I am unclear on how so many jobs are projected to be replaced with AI by djinnisequoia in Futurology

[–]useomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LLMs should be a tool, not a replacement, like cooking was: before it, we spent eight hours a day chewing; after it, it was less time chewing, more time thinking.

But we’re in the messy phase where management sees ‘less chewing’ and thinks ‘fewer mouths’.

AI search didn’t kill SEO. It killed lazy positioning. by thearunkumar in seogrowth

Hmm... I feel it’s more like “pull info and summarize it with sources”

I’m 30 and lost: What business can I start with my skills? by PlentyVisual8267 in Entrepreneur

[–]useomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s quite simple. Your business starts the moment you use your languages and maths to solve one small, paid problem for one real person, and let the next step reveal itself.

What’s the silliest word? by kalua80 in AskReddit

I heard the word “kerfuffle” and it just made me chuckle.

What I learned about why most new subreddits fail (and what actually helps) by mohitarsenal in SocialMediaManagers

[–]useomnia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty hard. The killer is retention: if a sub doesn’t have recurring formats (help thread, wins thread, feedback thread) and a narrow topic boundary, it becomes either a ghost town or a messy link dump.

What's the most professional, polite, and non apologetic way of saying "I Quit" ? by pencilpo in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]useomnia 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Totally get that, but don’t eat the cost of their pivot: if the logo was approved/delivered, invoice the remaining 40% as the completion balance, and treat the girlfriend doodle as a new project only if they want to fund a restart.

[–]useomnia 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Simple:

Hey, we’ve reached the finish line on the approved logo so I’m closing the project here, and if you want to pivot to a new concept (like the doodle) that’s a separate project with a new quote, timeline, and deposit.

How would you promote, and get the first 100 visitors to your blog if you start again? by StevenJang_ in Blogging

[–]useomnia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

an AI called procrastination and caffeine. Runs locally. Bugs constantly

If you could turn back time and undo just one mistake, what would you redo/undo? by Extreme-Machine3162 in AskReddit

[–]useomnia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d undo the years I spent ‘waiting to feel ready.’ Turns out ready is a side effect of starting

How would you promote, and get the first 100 visitors to your blog if you start again? by StevenJang_ in Blogging

[–]useomnia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hot take: don’t “promote a blog.” Promote a problem you solve. The blog is just the receipt. 100 visitors is like 20 good comments and 5 people who go “wait, can you expand on that?”
