@TomC_00001 @TheTweetOfGod Love that spot

[Darren @letsgoelsewhere]

@TheTweetOfGod Awesome. God’s got this one.

The whole point of any technology has to be human flourishing, not stockholder profit. The disconnect has been in place for a while and exponentially accelerating - it has to be sorted out asap. Something is going to break here.

[Darren @letsgoelsewhere]

@chams_builds Yes and it seems to be underway right now

@ZackPolanski @LostitNft @gabriel_zucman Q. If GDP goes up 5x from here (assuming the AI optimists are right). What’s the GDP per capita for the median person?

A. The same as it is today.

@GaryMarcus Accelerate into corners. It’s all the rage.

@Telegraph Can someone please explain to me the difference between length and height. And then as a follow up question - what the fuck is going on in the world?

The UKs Competiton and Markets Authority’s move gives publishers more control over how their content is used by AI systems.

That’s probably a good thing.

But it also creates a fascinating dilemma.

Opt out of AI summaries and recommendation systems…

Or participate in the new layer of discovery that is forming right now.

Because this isn’t simply a debate about traffic.

It’s a debate about visibility.

For 25 years visibility largely meant:

→ rankings
→ clicks
→ traffic

Today visibility increasingly means:

→ recommendations
→ trusted pathways
→ AI-mediated discovery
→ resolution

That’s why publishers, brands and businesses are being pulled in two directions at once.

Protect the old model.

Or participate in the new one.

The challenge is that the transition is happening faster than many people realise.

Google trained the internet around clicks.

AI systems are increasingly training it around confidence.

And confidence is becoming the new distribution mechanism.

That’s the shift I think many people still underestimate.

I think that’s where the conversation is heading now. Not “SEO vs AI.”

But:

“What does visibility mean when the click is no longer the primary unit of value?”

That’s the question hiding underneath all of these CMA discussions.

Here is my question Prof Feynman account holder:

WTF is going on right now?

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Knowledge grows when you ask stupid questions. Stupidity grows when you don't ask anything.

[Darren @letsgoelsewhere]

@ProfFeynman 🙏👊💛

@pmarca Nothing gets attention like the BS news we get peddled. Just being honest. Wish more people were.

[Darren @letsgoelsewhere]

@marlene4719 They win. I am now insane. Take the whole lot. Thank you for everything you do for me.

☝️ we do know that’s the goal right?

[Darren @letsgoelsewhere]

@Microinteracti1 Correct. You have to hit rock bottom before you look around and dust yourself down. We are here.

[Darren @letsgoelsewhere]

@SenWarren He just painted the motherfucker. It’s not his anyway.

[Darren @letsgoelsewhere]

@DanielLDavis1 Can somebody on X please explain to me the difference between length and height. Thank you for your time everyone.

[Darren @letsgoelsewhere]

@MikeDrucker Sadly they know exactly what they’re doing. The muppets on the stage are so useless, they’re perfect.

[Darren @letsgoelsewhere]

@azsweetheart013 He’s the perfect stooge
