The impacts of artificial intelligence are everywhere and we spend a lot of time talking about those impacts but we also got to talk about some regular Googley stuff too. Jim Hedger and Kristine Schackinger did start off on a high note, noting the reports of the death of a US Air Force member testing an AI-operated drone were greatly and completely exaggerated as it was only a simulation. Paraphrasing the words of the commanding officer, "... it was just a simulation. Only a madman would do that for real." Fun times!

We also talked a bit more about Sam Altman's fears of "... something really bad happening", but also talked about how Google is adding Implicit Code Execution to Bard and giving it the ability to export data to Google Sheets. Interesting times?

Best of all, we got to talk about Google glitches, the delicate art of SERP Composition, and the expansive myth of Index Bloat, and we try to answer the age-old question, "Can security headers help with rankings?" Bizarre times indeed...
