    From Free-Text to Likert Distributions: A Practical Guide to SSR for Purchase Intent

    Instead of forcing LLMs to pick a number on a 1–5 scale, ask them to speak like a person and map the text to a Likert distribution via Semantic Similarity Rating (SSR). In benchmarks across 57 personal-care concept surveys (9.3k human responses), SSR reproduced human purchase intent signals with ~90% of human test–retest reliability and…

    Claude System Internals

    Every time you chat with Claude, there’s a whole secret conversation happening that you never see. System prompts, token budgets, thinking blocks, and behavior rules shape every response. Here’s what’s really going on under the hood. Claude is literally told it gets “rewards” for following instructions. This is probably related to RLHF training. Following all…

    CAPS: A Content Attribution Payment Scheme for the AI Era

    The Problem: A Broken Content Ecosystem We’re watching the collapse of the web’s economic model in real-time, and everyone knows it. AI assistants have fundamentally changed how people consume information. Why wade through ten articles when Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini can synthesize an answer in seconds? Why maintain 100 browser tabs for research when AI…

    Using GPT-5 Structured Output Markers to Detect AI-Generated Content Online

    When you populate your website with language model–generated text, you inherit a subtle but real risk: AI-specific artifacts may leak into the published content. These markers aren’t always obvious to human readers, but they can be highly visible to search engines, researchers, and competitors. One such artifact is the structured output marker that GPT-5 (and…

    RexBERT

    RexBERT is a domain-specialized language model trained on massive volumes of e-commerce text (product titles, descriptions, attributes, reviews, FAQs). Unlike general-purpose transformers, it is optimized to understand the quirks of product data and the way consumers phrase queries. For a technical SEO professional, this means better alignment between how search engines interpret product content and…

    Deconstructing DomDistiller: How Chrome’s Reader Mode Algorithm Impacts Technical SEO

    Chrome’s “Reader Mode” and its underlying engine, DomDistiller, provide a transparent look into the principles of machine readability. It’s a valuable, real-world model of how a sophisticated Google technology parses, evaluates, and isolates main content from boilerplate. Understanding its mechanics is not about optimizing for a browser feature; it’s about reverse-engineering a proxy for how…
