@joncphillips Aside from the actual garbage…

It's because GEO is mostly still a black box. Anyone who says they have it figured out 100% is lying.

Until we have deeper insights, a traditional SEO strategy with adjustments for AI is the most reliable playbook.

@dr_musgrave Would be interested to hear which people you're referring to.

I see very few people suggesting that kids are better off with unlimited access to social media.

The majority of arguments against legislation relate to privacy & the inefficacy of the law in Australia.

@nathanbenaich "As an industry" — i.e. me and the other guy

@unusual_whales Source: Anthropic (it actually is)

@pjvann @emollick I am seeing something similar in AI content marketing evals.

Produces as many misleading insights as good ones.

I guess this is our work now: fact-checking the machines.

Because it's just asking "someone else" to write something for you

[David Perell Clips @PerellClips]

What's wrong with writing with AI?

Alain deBotton says: "I don't just write to produce a certain numbers of words. I write in order to honor certain feelings, and AI can't know those feelings because it's not me.

It doesn't know what I want to say. And if I simply give my writing over to AI, it will crush my nascent sense about what it is I really want to say."

@Austen After listening to Hard Fork's interview with Amanda Askell — Anthropic's in-house philosopher — I'm inclined to think it's the former.

I mean, the clue is in the name of the company… internally they treat the current models like beings.

@emollick Do you think the gap (US vs others) is mostly about the ratio of early adopters in each country?

I also wonder whether some nations (e.g. Italy, Sweden) have seen a lag in AI output quality due to their native languages having smaller training bases.

@henrywinter As someone who watched Chelsea under Tuchel, “bold” is not a term I would associate with his style of coaching. Attacking players looked stymied by the end of his tenure.

@emollick For a while now, I've had this idea that future grads will sign with mega-corps for lengthy fixed-term funded apprenticeships that involve "doing the work" — with the top of the class eventually earning a senior position.

@sidin I’d argue that for most people, self-perception isn’t the issue — if your job starts to look really easy, guess what your boss is going to do?

[Mark Myerson // Stories for Business @mark_myerson]

@joncphillips @upnote_app is actually pretty good, just obviously missing the Apple-native feel

[Mark Myerson // Stories for Business @mark_myerson]

@joncphillips Basically something that works like Apple Notes but stores notes in Markdown would work perfectly

@bentossell The average school kid probably isn't optimizing their stack to get the best possible output for homework

[Mark Myerson // Stories for Business @mark_myerson]

@emollick More than that, I think it's people underestimating what the whole job involves. Often because they've never worked in those industries.

@manubhardwaj @sidin I was being charitable 🙃

@9th @cosmos Don’t think Meta bothers with support any more :(

Name one thing that feels better than finding money in the pocket of a coat you haven’t worn for ages
