@levelsio I think you should take debt of a country into account as well, because that will eventually bite you back in the tail.

@fiago7 Just like in 1974

[cjager.com @cjager_com]

@fiago7 You can support other teams because they looked awesome back then

How do you look as German footballer in 1974?

Do you have a bucketlist of countries you (still) would like to visit (or revisit), and show off with it how far you've got?

Fascinating to watch.

1000 years of European borders change.

There used to be two sources of traffic on the web: search and social.

Social disappeared as social networks mutated into TV channels and discouraged links. Now search is on the decline because of AI.

AI is swallowing search traffic, but it is different from search in one important way.

From Lycos to Google, search encouraged the creation of content because it was never a destination—it was a gateway to a page.

But AI doesn't encourage the creation of content in the same way. Only a tiny fraction of AI traffic clicks on the sources.

So we have an incentives problem here.

Why would anyone generate content in a world where the only visitors to your websites are AIs?

I've worked on many sites built on an SEO strategy (Data USA, Data Mexico, The OEC). Today, more and more of our traffic is AI.

We are getting slammed by bots every night, serving them millions of pages with factual information.

AIs love what we do. We convert government statistics and trade records into text. And nom nom nom, the AIs eat it up, since we update our sites frequently.

But where does this end? Will AI companies start creating these content pipelines and completely internalize the web? Will they acquire companies like ours to handle that part of the operation? Can we start charging AI companies for each visit to our site? Or will they just crawl the open web until there's nothing new left to index?

I am not against AI. On the contrary, I’m bullish about it. But we have a problem here. Human creators are investing time, effort, and money into crafting high-quality, factually accurate content. But unlike search, which sent people back to the source, AI answers do not return the favor.

Yes, it’s cool to see ChatGPT cite the OEC, but I would prefer to get the traffic. Right now, it’s a one-way transaction: ingest, summarize, and serve—with no click and no incentive for the creators.

We’re not just facing a technological transition. We’re facing an economic and institutional one too. One that asks: who will fund the web when the users are no longer human?

Aggressive move by this wikipedia contributor to geometrically visualize the binomial theorem.

Oh, do you "have trouble" seeing things in 4D? Sorry that life is so difficult for you. Stop whining and try harder.

Who wants to see more businesses on Lightning and work with me to build the features that they need?

[Michael Girdley @girdley]

I’ve started 8 companies that employ >1,000 people.

But… I don’t build startups like everyone else.

I use a system called “Effectuation”

It will change how you build innovative businesses.

Zo zie ik eruit als ik apetrots en diep ontroerd ben. Gisteravond nam ik afscheid van de gemeenteraad van Nijmegen, na 12 jaar. Het was een geweldige tijd.
