It's not just for new wikis. It's called the Google sandbox in the SEO world and it's something that had been around for years and affects every new domain.

New domains need to prove they can be trusted to get out of the sandbox and external links from trusted sources are the best way to do that and shorten the time spent in the sandbox.

Big wikis like this go online with thousands of pages on a brand new domain. Without any external trust signal it just looks like spam for Google

I love you Tailscale but please we don't need a 2k words ai written essay when the actual substance can fit in 3 sentences. That's not good for anyone.

Oh I am glad you like it! Noted for the 1st boss, I'll make the button go bigger and bigger over time so are nudged into clicking it. TypeScript + HTML5 for the stack. Vite for the build.

Hey HN. I had a lot of fun building a small incremental game in the past few days. You recruit units to fight an endless stream of data. There are 19 recruits, 31 ennemies and 9 bosses to defeat.

"consolidated gross margin came in at 84.9 percent"

They are in saas metrics territory in terms of margins, this is insane.

For a total opposite tool, there is mousemux (Windows only). You can get multiple mice on the same machine and you can attach a keyboard to each and lock it to a window or a screen.

Dataset is way too small to be of any significance. It's just noise

"They're portable, auditable, and composable. No MCP server required. No plugin marketplace to browse. Just a folder with a SKILL.md in it." It screams lazy ai slop copy-paste. Now when I see this kind of obvious llm tell, I can't help but feel betrayed for investing time in giving it a shot in the first place.

So they use all the reviews and product testing they ingest to come-up with results, then they let you buy whatever they list in 1-click and bank a commission. A comission that would have gone in the pockets of an affiliate with actual hands on experience on the product (not talking about all the SEO crap of course), effectively killing the affiliates who provided the needed data for the rankings in the first place.

It also paves the way for ads in this type of answer down the line and incentivizes enshitification even further. If it would be Google doing it, everybody would raise their shields. But as openAI is still too small, we'll let it happen without saying or doing anything, right?

It hides stores/brands reputation, value-prop and differenciators, likely favoring the established big players and makes it even harder for smaller players to enter.

What about the ethics of having openAI as the gatekeeper for product/brands inclusion? Right now it mighht look like a clever business move but it establishes dangerous foundations and gives them too much power if they keep growing.
