Not the vibe shift we deserve, but the one we need.

I am offended every time word tries to correct “has to” to “must.” Must is not a good word. Stop recommending it. I am judging you, computer.

One of the easiest ways to get ahead is to operate in places other ppl ignore that you believe are valuable. Execs that are still close to the substance is a huge cheat code. For a few reasons… - you can build more effective and cohesive teams the more deeply you

This is so funny. SEO isn’t dead, GEO is. It’s obviously not. But the hype cycle was too much. It’s really hard out there for operators that can’t think for themselves. Gonna get yanked around by every trend.

There was a period march to may where we lost 18% of our tofu traffic in two months. I suspect everyone felt this because it’s when GEO hysteria went wild. Now? We are already back to where we were. Who knows what the future holds but sometimes you gotta ignore the noise.

Biggest problem with gemini on chrome is I am a sick person who keeps open the maximum amount of tabs without triggering overflow ux. And then here comes the little gemini button, causing a crisis for me.

One of the biggest negative consequences of AI is that if I read a strategy doc/report where there’s even a chance it was written by AI I feel like I need to scrutinize and validate every single point that isn’t obvious. You have to read every doc like it’s written by someone

Has anyone collected a big list of domains that did extensive programmatic content and then got blown up by Google?

The 4o community is the most concerning thing I’ve seen with AI this far. Time to unplug the model, try a different app like maybe Claude, and focus on more productive ways to engage with AI, like revisiting all of Halo lore and going to sleep when you get rate limited.
