All right, so we are going to talk about Project Magi. Google's making big changes to search. So I pronounced that Magi just because I played a lot of games and usually they're called Magi, but you can call it Magie if you want. But Neil, you go first.

So New York Times released an article on how Google is getting worried. There's some rumors going around about Samsung potential making being its potential default search engine, which would cost Google billions of dollars. I believe the New York Times that it would be around three billion dollars. If this similar things also happened with Apple, it would cost him even more money. So Google's getting nervous, of course, because everyone's talking about AI and GPT and how Microsoft's integrating it. And when Google release barred, it didn't have the best reviews out there, and their stock price went down and they lost billions of dollars in market cap. So Google in essence is planning a new type of search engine. But in the short run they have this Project Magie or Maggie or however you want to end up pronouncing it. Project Magie has around one hundred and sixty engineers that are focused on it, and what they're doing is trying to make Google Search more conversational. So for example, if Eric has questions on something, it would learn on the fly as well as learned from past experiences and modify the messaging and the results that it's showing Eric and think of it like a chat GPT type of interface, but also being able to do transactions. So if Eric's looking for new running shoes, over time, it will learn the size of the shoe that Eric wears if he has narrow feet or wide feet, as well as allow him and this is the big one to do a transaction right there on Google without going to a website. So they're planning on releasing some of this stuff, hopefully in the next few months. And when you think about this is going to have huge implications for both paid ads and SEO yep.

So this is not just huge implications on the marketing side, it's huge implications across the board. So Neil and I were on the phone yesterday. We talked about forty minutes or so, and we were kind of talking about the implications behind how this is going to affect jobs or of long term and actually, Jason Calacana is one of the hosts of the All In podcast. He actually wrote a thread yesterday that did really well, basically saying that people don't realize this, but most jobs are going to be nuked. At least a third of jobs will be nuked, if not more. And the rate of innovation that's happening in AI right now. It went from I don't know if you saw this, Neil, but the actual rate of investment of VC dollars going into AI in tool two dropped a lot because well, we weren't really sure what was happening in the back end. And then this chat GPT thing comes out. Last year. You know, people were talking about stable difusion mid journey, but I really think the inflection point was chat GPT, And now everyone's looking at mid journey stable diffusion. They're looking at runway munts, these text to video, text to image editors, and we're seeing a lot faster innovation. And in the next episode we're going to talk about how chat GPT is evolving quite a bit, where this whole concept of prompt engineering that was starting to become a thing in the last one or two months is might not even be a thing anymore, right, And so I think we're just going to see the rate of innovation increase because Google is not going to want to give up their market share. And then you have Satya from the CEO, Sadya and Nadela from Microsoft. The CEO, He's like, we're so excited to take market share because each percent is two billion dollars. I believe that's what.

It was, right, Neil, He doesn't know the exact dollar amount, but it's massive. And a lot of seos are worried that, hey, this is going to take away traffic from a website. Well, if you look at what Google's done in the past with like weather, it used to be when you wanted to search what was the weather in Los Angeles, California, or Las Vegas, Nevada, you would go to weather dot com or Google will send you to a website. Now they end up showing you the weather. And they made that change a long time ago, and there was many more changes with things like the knowledge graph that ended up changing how SEO was done. And people are like, oh, Google is taking traffic away, But these things create a better experience and cause more people to use Google as well in the long run. And according to Danny Sullivan, who works at Google, Google has continually driven more traffic to websites each and every single year from an organic perspective, So I would see all these AI changes. I do believe it's going to reduce traffic going to websites, but I also do think it's going to cause more people to use Google, which can help counteract that. And this won't work for every single querry out there. In addition to that, this is also going to change paid advertising, and from a paid advertising standpoint, instead of a cost per click model, just imagine doing a CPA model, which is already similar to how it is right now. You're bidding per click, but you're backending it out to what's your cost per acquisition. And if you're just paying Google for that cost doesn't matter if someone goes to your website or not. All you'd care about is are you generating the sale and is it profitable whether they come to your website or not. As long as you can keep generating more sales, you should be happy because that means more revenue from you. And from an SEO standpoint, it'll change a game. From an SEO perspective, maybe you're not optimizing as much to clicks to your website, but maybe you're optimizing for Google showcasing your product or service when someone's using their prompt to converse with to figure out what product or service to buy.

So a couple key takeaways here. Then I'm going to pull up the thread. I don't can work towards wrapping. But the bottom line is search in itself is going to change quite a bit. I believe in the next five years maximum, it's going to be completely reimagined. And so I think you have this honeymoon period, or not even honeymoon period, you have this period of time in the next year or two where you can really crank up what you're doing from what we've all known to be traditional SEO. Wrap it up there. You know you have strong domain authority, ramp up the content, use the AIS to help you create more content that's high quality, and you can reap the rewards a little bit, but that's going to change very quickly. So you have to kind of balance when you're going to come off that ship and jump onto the new ship, the new kind of paradigm when it comes to search, because we believe it's going to shift. That's one piece of it. The second piece has not changed from what we said about AI before. Those of you that have the data modes, those of you that have the data already, the proprietary data, you're going to have an advantage over others. So for example, let's say I took Neil super suggests as an example or his answer to public. I could then take that data and make really interesting content around that, and then I can sell that data to other people, or I can use that data for other purposes. Now there's a lot more that he can do with that, right, and so if you have that leg up, then you know, go by all means my it. And now I want to share the Jason kalakanis post over here, and I'm going to read it to you that those that cannot see this on YouTube, and so Jacal says AI is going to nuke the bottom third of performers and jobs done on computers, even creative ones. In the next twenty four months, white color salaries are going to plummet to the average of the global workforce and the speed at which the top performers can write prompts. And so I'm not showing you this to be alarmist. I'm showing you this to say, hey, this is where the world is going, and this is what the possibilities look like. And just like with the industrial age, when a lot of people stop farming and they moved into different, you know, non farming jobs, we gain a lot more productivity. And I think that's what's going to happen here. So he also goes on to say, if your load average at your job, you need to get on these tools, immediately, learn how to augment yourself, and invest massively in your ability to add new skills constantly. Companies are going to get dramatically smaller and more profitable, like Facebook, Twitter and others have demonstrated. And then the top performers are already leveraging these tools to increase the distance between themselves and low performance. It's getting polarizing. Forty and fifty year olds who have been covetted performers their whole career, So ignore these tools are going to be retired from the workforce. This isn't about phone operators, farmers, or dishwashers. It's about knowledge workers. Your knowledge has been commoditized. Your ability to be nimble and learn new skills as all that matter. So I'll stop it right there, Neil, any thoughts on that before you wrap it?

No, pretty much, just spot on with it.
