We have lots of anecdotal evidence about what AI does to the internet. Now we're seeing a new wave of research, including a new paper from Stanford and the Internet Archive that puts the number of AI websites at around 35%—and draws some surprising conclusions: www.wired.com/story/ai-slo...
His words have always been able to hold me.

"A lot of you are probably wondering what the new strategic initiative is. Well, it’s complicated and hard to explain. It moves in mysterious ways. We’re building this plane as we fly it, as they say in the new strategic initiative biz."
