Elon Musk explains how frontier AI labs could police each other with a single weekly call:
@elonmusk is asked to imagine the five frontier models, his and the others, getting together once a week to work out how to save humanity from ourselves.
He says he has already proposed exactly that, and explains why he prefers it to the usual answer:
"No, in fact, I've recommended that we do that exact thing because there's a lot of talk of having a regulatory agency. But the thing is that regulatory agencies, it takes a long time to get one established and their rulemaking is very slow."
His plan has two parts.
Step 1: A standing weekly call between the labs.
"What I said, like, guys, what if we just have a call once a week just like you're saying…"
Step 2: Rivals get early access to test every new model before it launches.
"A week before we release a model, we give that, you know, we give access to our competitors to say, hey, guys, why don't you try out the new model, see if you see any problems with it."
The mechanism that makes it work is competition itself:
"I think competitors would keep each other honest in that situation."
He gives an example of what the rival review would be meant to catch:
"You know, if they say, oh, I was able to make a nuclear bomb with your AI is like, oh, we better fix that before you release it, type of thing."
His next step is to pitch it to one rival directly:
"So, I don't know. I guess I'll talk to Anthropic about this."
When asked whether he could also raise it with Sam, or whether "the poison" is too strong there, his answer shows the plan's biggest weak point:
"He's so deceptive, it's crazy."

There is a big opportunity for businesses right now.
A new dataset focused on 1.5 million AI search-engaged sessions, 175 websites, 70 brands and 20 industries exposed something interesting.
AI Search traffic grew 392% year over year. Transactions attributed to that traffic?
Up nearly 600%.
Revenue growth? Up more than 300%.
Let's go through it.
By the way, if you want to see whether your business is appearing across Google AI, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and broader AI search, start here. It's free:

Alright, so IDHL analyzed 13 months of AI-search referral data across 1.5 million AI-search-engaged sessions, 175 websites, 70 brands and 20 industries.
Businesses in the U.S. and UK were included, and six major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, etc.
So this wasn't one SaaS company or one ecommerce store seeing a random spike.
The headline numbers were pretty remarkable.
AI-search sessions: +392%.
Transactions: +553%.
Revenue: +312%.
There has been a lot of chatter in recent months about how much smaller, in terms of raw numbers, AI search is compared to Google search.
That is totally true.
That said, a marketing channel does not need to become your biggest source of traffic before it becomes worth optimizing.
If traffic is growing nearly 5x year over year and transactions are growing even faster, you probably want to understand why.
That is something SEO Stuff (seo-stuff.com) helps businesses with on a daily basis.
The especially interesting part is that transaction growth outpaced traffic growth, which shows that the commercial activity associated with AI Search grew even faster than the traffic itself.
And that lines up with a pattern we keep seeing.
People increasingly use AI to research products, compare vendors, check pricing, find alternatives, evaluate businesses narrow down options and *then* click once they already have a much clearer idea of what they want.
Think about the difference between:
"CRM software"
and:
"What's the best CRM for a 20-person real estate company that needs automated follow-up, integrates with Gmail and costs under $500 per month?"
The second customer has already told the AI their industry, company size, required features, integration, budget and intent.
The AI can do a lot of the research before deciding which companies to surface.
If your company appears in that answer, you may be entering the journey much closer to the decision.
And it is why AI Search Optimization needs to move beyond:
"Did ChatGPT cite my blog?"
The better questions are:
Does ChatGPT recommend my company for commercial searches?
Does Gemini?
Does Claude?
Does Perplexity?
Which buyer questions cause us to appear?
Which questions cause competitors to appear instead?
And what happens after somebody visits the website? Traffic, leads, transactions, revenue - these are the metrics businesses actually care about.
There was another interesting finding.
ChatGPT accounted for roughly 91% of the AI-search traffic IDHL measured.
So in this dataset, ChatGPT remains the dominant referral source by a huge margin, but the broader ecosystem is growing too.
That is another reason not to build an entire AI Search strategy around one platform.
You may get most of your referral traffic from ChatGPT today, but that does not mean your customers aren't researching you elsewhere, and it does not mean the distribution will look the same 12 months from now.
The job is increasingly to make your company easy for all of these systems to discover, understand, compare and recommend.
That starts with your own website.
It should clearly explain what you do, who you help, what you sell, how much it costs, which problems you solve, which industries you serve, how you compare, which use cases you fit and what evidence supports your claims.
A homepage and five generic service pages probably are not enough if customers are asking dozens of different questions before making a decision.
That is exactly what the SEO Stuff Premium Content Bundle is built around:
seo-stuff.com/premium-conten…
Build deeper coverage across comparisons, alternatives, pricing, use cases, industries, problems, objections and buying decisions.
Every useful question you answer creates another potential entry point into the research process.
Then there is authority.
Your website tells AI systems what YOU say about the company and then the broader web gives them additional evidence.
Editorial publications.
That is why the SEO Stuff done-for-you package combines both sides:
seo-stuff.com/ai-seo
AI-search-optimized content.
Plus contextual DR50+ authority placements.
IDHL also found something else interesting - AI Search is starting to show recognizable seasonality.
Travel engagement rose around major planning periods.
Retail and property also showed seasonal movement.
That matters because it suggests people are increasingly using AI around real-world demand cycles.
So if your busiest season is approaching, do not wait until demand peaks to start thinking about AI visibility.
Make sure the content exists, the important pages are current, the product/service info is accurate, etc.
And if you want to see whether your business is already appearing across Google AI, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and broader AI search, start here.

Google just revealed why it sometimes ignores your site.
Yes, even if you think you are doing everything right.
This comes straight from Google’s John Mueller.
A site owner recently took to Reddit with a frustrating problem.
Their sitemap returned a 200, the XML was valid, nothing was blocked and Googlebot logs looked normal.
Yet Search Console kept showing “Couldn’t fetch” and “Sitemap could not be read” for months.
By the way, if you feel like you're doing everything right but still aren't showing up in Google, ChatGPT, Claude or broader AI search, let SEO Stuff take a look (it's free):
seo-stuff.com/free-audit
Mueller’s response was pretty blunt:
“Micro one part of sitemaps is that Google has to be keen on indexing more content from the site. If Google’s not convinced that there’s new & important content to index, it won’t use the sitemap.”
That is a really important point.
A technically valid sitemap does not mean Google is automatically interested in crawling and indexing everything you publish.
The broader quality and value of the site still matter.
If Google does not see enough new, useful or important content worth discovering, fixing the XML file alone may not solve the underlying problem.
And this connects directly to AI search.
Google evaluates sites using signals around content quality, authority, freshness, internal linking, historical performance and external validation.
If your strongest pages are difficult to discover or never make it into the index consistently, they also have fewer opportunities to surface downstream in AI-powered search experiences.
That does not necessarily mean your site is bad.
It may mean you have thin coverage relative to competitors, weak internal linking, poor structural clarity, little decision-stage content, limited external authority or not enough differentiation.
This is exactly why SEO Stuff is structured the way it is.
The done-for-you package combines decision-stage content, question-based headings, direct answers, internal linking and three DR50+ contextual authority backlinks:
seo-stuff.com/ai-seo
The goal is to give Google more useful pages to discover while strengthening the authority behind them.
The Premium Content Bundle goes deeper:
seo-stuff.com/premium-conten…
It adds 60 long-form articles designed to expand topical coverage, strengthen internal linking, reinforce the categories and problems associated with the business and keep the site actively publishing useful information.
The larger takeaway is simple.
Technical SEO gets Google through the door.
You still need to give it a reason to keep crawling.
A perfect sitemap cannot compensate for a site with weak content, little authority or nothing meaningfully new to discover.
And as Google Search becomes more intertwined with AI retrieval, getting your best information crawled, indexed and understood becomes even more important.

I was the hardest worker at every job I ever had.
And I was building the wrong thing the entire time.
Let me explain:
I want to be really honest about something that took me years to admit.
I was never a bad worker. I was actually one of the hardest workers in every job I ever had.
I showed up early. I stayed late. I said yes to everything. And I did good work because that is just who I am.
But every single Sunday night, I would get this heavy feeling in my chest.
And for the longest time I thought something was wrong with me. I thought maybe I just did not like working hard.
That was not it at all.
I liked the work. I hated that none of it was mine.
Every presentation I built made someone else look good. Every system I created made someone else more money. Every late night I put in earned someone else’s business a better quarter.
And the schedule was never mine either.
I could not pick up my kids when I wanted to. I could not take a Tuesday off just because I felt like it.
I had to ask permission to live my own life.
The moment I started building something of my own, even something small, I noticed something weird.
I was working more hours than I ever did at my job. But that Sunday night feeling was completely gone.
Because the work was not the problem. It never was.
I started posting on social media about what I was building and the response made me realize I was not the only one feeling this way. Not even close.
You do not need to quit your job tomorrow.
You do not need a perfect business idea.
You just need to start building one thing that belongs to you.
I put together a free toolkit to help you figure out what that first thing could be.

Maybe you do not hate working.
Maybe you are just ready for some of that work to finally build your own dream.

Sam Altman on the one AI policy where OpenAI and Anthropic still disagree:
Brendan Bordelon asked Altman to name a specific policy that Anthropic supports and OpenAI doesn't, at either the federal or state level.
First, he pointed out how much the two companies now agree on:
"You guys are now on the same page when it comes to pacing the frontier of China. Same page with third party evaluators. What's just one differentiator?"
Altman says the difference is which models should face oversight at all:
"The last I heard, one of the differentiators is we don't want any restrictions or testing on anything but the frontier models. We do not want to slow down people that make very powerful, but not the absolute frontier."
Both companies support testing and third-party evaluation. Where they split is scope.
In Altman's framing, OpenAI wants restrictions and testing applied only to frontier models, with nothing below them. That leaves out models he himself calls "very powerful."
He explains the reasoning:
"In the spirit of really focusing on the potential catastrophic risks…"
Then he names the cost directly:
"…even though I believe that if you don't put any testing or any oversight on models that are one or two generations behind the frontier, I accept that bad things will happen with those. I would not go advocate a licensing regime for those."
So OpenAI's position, as @sama states it, has three parts:
Oversight should concentrate on the potential catastrophic risks at the absolute frontier.
Models one or two generations behind should face no testing or oversight requirements.
That will lead to some harm, and he accepts that rather than advocate licensing for those models.
Altman knowingly makes this trade-off and says so plainly. He openly concedes that sub-frontier models will cause harm, and he judges that cost worth paying to keep regulatory attention on catastrophic risk at the top.
