The End of October Core News Update Edition

Covering a lot of bases in only an hour, this is a news-heavy episode. Hosts Kristine Schachinger and Jim Hedger start with a weird and very rare Google search outage and quickly move to news that sweeping regulation of A.I. will be introduced by executive order early next week. While the White House moves to regulate, Reddit might move to ban A.I. from training on Reddit content as negotiations between it and OpenAI appear to be flailing towards failure. Meanwhile, over at Google, SGE is getting supportive links, paid ads are appearing among traditional organic listings, unhelpful signals about helpful content are being shared, and so much more. Tune in for our slightly slanted skew on news SEOs can use.
