ChatGPT retrieves far more webpages than it cites. A new AirOps analysis found that 85% of discovered sources never appear in the final answer. Why we care. If you want your content cited in AI-generated answers, discovery isn’t enough. Most retrieved pages never become visible to users. Key finding. In AI answers, retrieval doesn’t equal citation. Your page can rank and be retrieved yet still lose the citation to a source that better matches the prompt or supporting context. This shifts optimization toward earning selection inside the AI synthesis process—not just appearing in search results, per the report. By the…

Google Messages is preinstalled on most Android phones, though this isn’t the only reason behind its success. The company’s Messages app is the best way to text on Android because the app does a lot of things right. I learned about its strengths after using it casually while SMS Organizer was my main text messaging app. I have never looked back since then. Google Messages has replaced the SMS Organizer app on both my Samsung Galaxy S21 and Motorola Edge 50 Neo, and I use it daily. I’ve been using it for a few years, and it’s only become better…
Robert Triggs / Android AuthorityTL;DR A vulnerability in Qualcomm’s Android Bootloader implementation allows unsigned code to run via the “efisp” partition on Android 16 devices. This is paired with a “fastboot” command oversight to bypass SELinux and gain the permissions needed to unlock the bootloader. This is further chained with vulnerability in Xiaomi’s Hyper OS to allow bootloader unlocking on the Xiaomi 17 series and more. Other Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phones could also be affected, though the chain of vulnerabilities could differ. Update, March 14, 2026 (06:38 AM ET): A Qualcomm spokesperson shared with us the following statement:…
Ravie LakshmananMar 13, 2026VPN Security / Malware Microsoft has disclosed details of a credential theft campaign that employs fake virtual private network (VPN) clients distributed through search engine optimization (SEO) poisoning techniques. “The campaign redirects users searching for legitimate enterprise software to malicious ZIP files on attacker-controlled websites to deploy digitally signed trojans that masquerade as trusted VPN clients while harvesting VPN credentials,” the Microsoft Threat Intelligence and Microsoft Defender Experts teams said. The Windows maker, which observed the activity in mid-January 2026, has attributed it to Storm-2561, a threat activity cluster known for propagating malware through SEO poisoning and…
While RSS readers are still worth using to this day, they’re far from perfect. Most have a sidebar showing you your article sources and how many unread articles you have in them, leaving you feeling like you have to read everything in your list. If you’re like me, you may have hundreds of unread articles at a time. Maybe you power through a bunch of news articles, hoping to make that number go down, or you send long-form essays to Instapaper so that you can (forget to) read them later. I’m exaggerating how big a deal this is, but I…
Red Access has announced firewall-native SSE, an agentless cloud layer that instantly upgrades any existing firewall with Security Service Edge (SSE), GenAI security, and browser-agnostic protection. Deployed directly on top of existing architecture, the firewall-native SSE eliminates the need for rip-and-replace projects, accelerating deployment while reducing operational overhead without compromising user experience. “Secure enterprise browsing solutions sit at the intersection of user, device, and web resources to enforce security policies,” said Andrew Green, Networking & Security Analyst at GigaOm. Green emphasizes that with the browser serving as the primary gateway to resources, “companies have the opportunity to significantly improve their…
The FBI is asking gamers who installed Steam titles containing malware to provide information as part of an ongoing investigation into eight malicious games uploaded to the gaming platform. In a notice published today by the FBI’s Seattle Division, the agency said it is attempting to identify individuals who were affected after installing one of the malicious games on Steam between May 2024 and January 2026. “The FBI’s Seattle Division is seeking to identify potential victims installing Steam games embedded with malware. The FBI believes the threat actor primarily targeted users between the timeframe of May 2024 and January 2026,” reads…
A recent Harvard Business Review piece echoes the shift we’re sseeing in the SEO industry: at a macro level, LLMs and Google’s AI-powered SERP features, such as AI Overviews, aren’t just creating a zero-click environment, but also changing user journeys and behavior. They’re collapsing what used to be multi-touch customer journeys into a single synthesized answer. For a more visual and emphatic metaphor, the monolith of “Search” is crumbling. When that happens, brands lose many of the touchpoints they once owned, and your marketing strategy must change accordingly. HBR captures this moment well, arguing that marketing now has a new…
Computer scientist Stephen Thaler was well ahead of the curve when it came to generative AI. He created his own generative AI system, DABUS (Device for the Autonomous Bootstrapping of Unified Sentience), many years before the current boom, and used to create the piece of artwork you see above, entitled A Recent Entrance To Paradise. I don’t feel scared that Thaler might sue us for using his art in this post because I know he doesn’t have a copyright in it, and I know that because courts have been telling him he can’t get a copyright in it since 2012.…
To prove their point, the authors imagined a 400 MW AI datacenter with 1024 GPU racks of 128 GPUs each for a total of 128,000 GPUs. “Assume 12.8T scale-up and 1.6T scale-out bandwidth per GPU. With OSFP switch racks that have a density of 1.6 Pbps per rack, this would require more than 1,400 switch racks for scale-up and scale-out fabrics. With XPO, this would require 75% fewer racks, saving over 1,050 racks or 44 % of the floor space,” Bechtolsheim and Vusirikala stated in the blog. “Eliminating 75% of switch racks translates to massive reductions in construction and infrastructure…
