3. So ask why?

Consider:
↳ Limiting access needs a story the market accepts.
↳ Government pressure is already in play.
↳ “Responsible AI” builds enterprise trust.

Fear shapes perception.
Separate capability from narrative.

Are you reacting to the model… or the framing?

[Johnny Hughes @johnnythezilla]

Everyone is asking if Anthropic’s Mythos is “terrifying.”

That didn’t happen by accident.

Anthropic said it.
Researchers repeated it.
Media amplified it.

Now leaders are reacting to a feeling instead of a judgment.

2. The Mythos capability jump is real.

It found zero-day vulnerabilities.
It broke containment in testing.
That deserves attention.

But the media's "TERRIFYING" framing deserves equal scrutiny.

When one word shows up everywhere, it’s doing work.

Really getting tired of these persistent GPT-5.2 errors when using Web Search enabled chats... Anyone else having this issue? @OpenAI

[Johnny Hughes @johnnythezilla]

OpenAI finally built a model for how work actually happens.

GPT-5.2 is unapologetically aimed at helping professionals work smarter.

But did OpenAI rise to the Code Red challenge?

Here's my take: https://t.co/JJ2erWpREP

But I'm curious... have you tried 5.2 yet? Thoughts?

[Johnny Hughes @johnnythezilla]

Most “AI adoption” talk is guesswork.

OpenRouter analyzed 100T tokens of real usage. The takeaway:

• Programming >50%
• Reasoning models jumped to >50%
• Open = volume, closed = value
• Open source = roleplay + creative

🚨 Out of 100k+ AI search queries related to blockchain, only 10 companies were cited in 91% of the responses.

We just released our 3rd edition of the AI Visibility Index report: Blockchain 2025

This is relevant to any marketer or operator.
AI search optimization is now top of mind for every type of business.

🧵 Let’s break it down 👇

1. AI is the new gatekeeper.
If your brand isn’t getting cited by LLMs, you’re not showing up when users ask questions.
Visibility = Trust = Revenue.

2. THREE companies make up 50%+ of all mentions
Everyone else? Fighting for scraps.

3. Cardano had 5,800+ media hits.
But barely cracked the top 30.
Why? Because LLMs don’t care about volume. They care about contextual relevance.

4. Schema markup? Table stakes, not a differentiator.
Kraken had the most, and still lagged behind. Developer docs + PR in the right sources > raw code.

5. Want the AI spotlight?
Here’s the cheat code:
✅ Be cited in high-authority media
✅ Publish useful, structured content
✅ Align your message to actual user prompts

Most of the industry is asleep on this.
But the brands that get it will pull ahead, fast.

This report shows you how to dominate your industry at Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).

2 days ago Meta released the "Meta AI" mobile app.
Is Meta AI going to surpass ChatGPT users?
It's THE sleeping giant in AI search.

Meta has a major leg up on AI chatbot competitors thanks to its massive monthly user base:

Facebook: 177.9M users
Instagram: 148.7M users
ChatGPT: 77.1M users
WhatsApp: 68.4M users

What's really interesting is that Meta included a social media element to it with its "discover" tab (depicted below).

People can now publicly share their AI prompts & creations. No other AI chatbot has this element.

Massive user base ➕ unique social media element
🟰 THE biggest upside in all of AI right now?

With one of THE top AI chatbot use cases being consumer's researching products/services/solutions to their problems...

Meta has MASSIVE upside in placing search ads within Meta AI too.... search ads is something Meta has never capitalized on.

So....is Meta AI the sleeping giant that not enough ppl are talking about?

I say yes.

AI Search is the new race to the moon.

@drsnow 100% @drsnow! Here's a great article on how to track AI mentions across LLMs like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.

https://t.co/bSPqQHk4rK

[Jonathan Snow, DMD @drsnow]

AI Search processes 250 BILLION queries per month.

Most important metric to track AI Search optimization:
💥 AI SEARCH MENTIONS 💥

This is the HIDDEN metric, but the North Star.
Safe to say < 10% of AI search results have a direct link to your website.

THE question you must be asking yourself is:
