Essentially a refactor of our existing UX. Since we're also delivering embeds beyond just twitter and reddit, like instagram, spotify and other cool widgets, I wanted that reflected in the ux as well.

[Adam Sam @adsa]

@iam_ikay1 @rob_trew @webflow I second this. We experience similar stuff with our clients. For now we give custom builders our npm package and a prompt for integration. But in the long run, anyone serious about battle tested infra will revert to a platform. Especially if they need a CMS.

This isn't why we still have human writers on @monok_com , but it's a nice benefit nonetheless.

[Semrush @semrush]

After analyzing 42,000 blog posts with an AI detector, content classified as fully human-written outperformed AI-generated or mixed content across the top 10 positions.

The gap is most striking at position 1:
80.5% probability of being human-written vs just 10% AI-generated.

This may appear to conflict with survey data showing that 72% of SEOs believe AI content ranks as well as human-written content. However, the data points to a more nuanced reality.

The key difference emerges at the very top of the rankings.

From position 5 onward, the performance gap between human-written and AI-generated content narrows significantly.

In other words, AI content performs competitively when the benchmark is ranking on page one.

However, in the highest-ranking positions, human-written content clearly leads.

#Shopify content for your eCommerce store. Fully automated, fully human written. Integrated seamlessly.

At 90% AI perfection, the remaining 10% is catastrophic.

A client buying 2 articles/day receives ~60/month.
If 10% are below average or nonsense, that’s ~6 bad articles every month.
That is why @monok_com still uses human writers.

LLMs are not “solving” your business model if the remaining failures destroy client trust.

This video has so many factual inaccuracies it's painful. For instance it says 'Sumerian Empire'

"Enterprise AGI" 😑 it's like they're not even trying anymore.

[Fredrik Hjelm 🇸🇪 @FredrikHjelm4]

Enterprise AGI will be built from Sweden.

You'll see what I mean soon.

Lawyers should not store their data with a 3rd party. Use open source on your own servers

[WillC @willchen500]

Harvey is valued at $11B. Legora just raised at $5.5B. I built their entire web application in two weeks and I'm making it open-source and free for everyone to use. Say hi to Mike: https://t.co/NdtTt5MSJ2.

When I got the chance to try Harvey and Legora, I was surprised by how simple they were. A thought came to mind: I could probably build something similar in no time at all with Claude. And so I did.

Assistant, project, tabular review and workflows. You get it all without vendor lock-in.

Mike offers law firms an alternative, where they own the application layer and aren't stuck with a vendor they're renewing forever.

You can try Mike in the demo on the website, or go to the GitHub link on the site to download the code and run a local version yourself.

Last week GoDaddy moved a 27-year-old domain from my friend's account to a stranger who never submitted a single document. They used an email signature to identify the parent domain and just transferred it. Here's the full story: https://t.co/L1vNJ64l9s

"difficult" "devotion" "hard" -_-

[T. 🇫🇷🇦🇷🇲🇦🇪🇬 @levantophile]

I am struck, and pleasantly amused, by the flawless, highly ornate Arabic prose of this late 19th-century Cambridge Persianist, who was evidently an accomplished Arabist as well.

Incidentally, this is one reason I find Edward Said’s Orientalism overly dismissive and uncharitable toward Western scholars. Men like Browne devoted an extraordinary effort to mastering a difficult language and culture, and that kind of devotion is hard to see as anything other than a labor of love, especially when his Arabic is so poetic and refined. (I must admit, I am envious!)

Ironically, Arabists like Browne likely possessed a far more advanced command of Arabic than Said ever did.

This is a misrepresentation. Cloudflare prevents crawling but can circumvent their own block, robot.txt is just a permission list. You can allow any site in robot.txt and it would still fail to cheaply scrape, unless you're Cloudflare i suppose.

[kathyl @kathyyliao]

@blackbxdev @CloudflareDev we leave the decision of whether you want your site to be crawled or not up to the site owner. /crawl identifies as a bot and follows robot.txt

Right, except OpenAI uses BING not Google.

Your site could be #1 on Google and completely invisible to ChatGPT.

That's exactly what happened to one of our clients.

So we spent 6 months testing every AI SEO tactic we could find. Here's what actually worked:

First, some context. This client had a quality brand. Think BMW-level product.

But they didn't show up in a single AI search result. Not Google AI Overviews, not ChatGPT, nothing.

Competitors with websites that looked like they were built in 1997 were dominating every AI result in the niche.

Here are the 12 tactics that changed that:
