Authenticity is the only thing you have to stand out today.
Is today just a "dejà vu" phase where content creators are once again writing for "machines" rather than just people, mirroring the clunky, formulaic tactics of the early 2000s.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is probably the most humane series I've watched in a long, long time. So well written. So well executed.
AI this and AI that, cool but Google search is still the main source of truth. If your content isn't visible in Google, it's hardly gonna be visible in AI as well.
Five AI agents walk into a group chat... You continue :-)
All of this means the user's trust in the AI platform essentially gets passed on to the source material, even if it's a bit spammy, shitty, or outright wrong.
That’s not good.
Instead of a list of links (like in classic search) where you can check who's reliable, AI gives you just one answer.
AI treat information from a webpage as fact if it ranks well.

What say you devs… is it template or boilerplate or accelerator or theme or starter?
Do you remember FrontPage?
The influence of this on AI can be profound. Could accelerate the development of more capable agents, reduce the environmental and financial cost of AI inference but... it also opens to misuse (just like everything we do). Content cloaking comes to mind first.

**SHIT**💩 If the internet has trained you to wake up furious about strangers, politics, and headlines you can’t control, it’s not because you care too much. It’s because rage bait works.

Apparently Google AI Overviews follow up questions jump you directly to AI Mode. This will result in less traffic to your site and more traffic to Google's AI Mode. Plus, Gemini 3 is now powering all AI Overviews globally

A good day can give you maybe 3 to 4 hours of deep, focused coding. After that, quality and focus drop. Research in cognitive psychology also supports the pattern.

Not just coding. I'd say focused work.
We live in a world where how quickly you cover something is the prize, truth doesn't matter as much as staying in the algorithms.😳

Don't use AI to do your writing. use it for research and to improve your thinking about a topic.
"Dead Internet Theory" has become a reality (or is gonna become soon). This theory suggests that since roughly 2016, the majority of internet activity—is actually bots talking to bots or machine-generated content designed to game SEO or sell products.

Reminds me of a line from James Bond museum scene with Q noting that he can do more damage on his laptop in his pajamas than Bond can in a year in the field
Bond replies
Oh, so why do you need me?
Every now and then, a trigger has to be pulled
or not pulled. It's hard to know which in your pajamas.
Hidden problems of using AI for communication. Just having AI offer a solution on… message/writing/email/anything.. gives people confidence to do it the way AI suggested… without questioning it. Gives people the bolocks to jump from the building without asking why.
