For any folks who have original art or photos on Instagram disable Meta AI on your settings. Otherwise other users can use Meta AI to remix your stuff. In the app, settings, sharing and reuse, disable. It's about halfway down the page of settings. Be sure you're on the latest version of the app.

Every tactic for AI optimization has to balance the demands of your manager / client (speed) against the risk and likely impact. So I built a tool to help me have these conversations better, its open anyone can use it to help you too. Feedback welcomed!! www.seerinteractive.com/insights/geo...

Hey, more links to publishers in AIOs. Eager to see this roll out fully... Nice catch -> Google AI Overview "Further Exploration" was seen in the wild www.seroundtable.com/google-furth...

Diversity creates friction. Because different people from different backgrounds have different cultures and Different norms. The United States by it's nature will always have some friction because we are different people from very different cultures yet somehow we find a way to keep it pushing.

Listcles don't build brands, and ChatGPT 5.5 is starting to reward brands by directly querying them in fan outs. www.seerinteractive.com/insights/the...

At midnight by Philly's City Hall a group of teenagers watched my wallet and phone so I could play pickup soccer. Great vibes in the city tonight! A mix of Croatians, Philadelphians, and others were rotating in and out. It wrapped up at ~12:30 when the ball owner had to go.

Before you shame a high quality publisher, who is now falling off as they allow AI to creep into their posts, ask yourself. Did I: 🔳 Pay to subscribe or donate 🔳 Intentionally click on & buy from links / ads 🔳 Offer my services for free / discount

Rio de Janeiro marathon. goal: 3:30 Previous PR: 3:48 Ended with: 3:40 ❎ Got a lot of work to keep pace after 18. Missed goal but I'm "kinda" ok with this run. Slow progress is still some progress, going to try to get this 330 in the better conditions of Philly. #marathon #runners

They will support a fetus before it's ever become a person, but they don't support children or people once they are born.

Too many people think the job to be done of using AI to write content is a better prompt. No matter how well you prompt, often times you'll leave a pattern at some point, that pattern can damage your relationship capital. Just voice transcribe the darn thing and let AI leave in the em dashes.

prompt tracking question I always get: I'm picking between X & Y vendor, which is better? the question I wish i got: How can I improve the quality of the prompts I'm tracking. We're seeing some interesting changes in human behavior when developing prompts. www.seerinteractive.com/insights/are...

Rio de Janeiro is beautiful. It's one of the few cities where you can get a world class city experience (food, drink, music and vibes) along with a world class beach experience. And a really cool mountain experience all within 15-20 minutes you can bounce from one to the other.

"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy — without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables

So interesting when you compare 1996 to 2026 in terms of what % of things people did required another human back then vs now.

Great reminder for all of us managers. I find very often the teammate is doing something right somewhere you just aren't seeing it or looking hard enough. I know one of my biggest issues has been holding on to how I feel about a person (good or bad) without checking the date on my "firmware".

LLMS.txt or not, we all gotta test and share, in this example I show how an old test that wasn't working for months just got a major bump in "value" for ChatGPT. Ask any questions, I'm an open book. Big note: a 19x in citations lead to barely a 1x increase in traffic. youtu.be/RiMuhFi8eNg

Did a little deep research on this.

I get inspired by creators more than critics. I wish there was a way on youtube to dial up "original" content & dial down "reactions & hot takes" to creators original content. So far the best thing I have found is the undistracted plugin on chrome desktop that lets you force to subscriptions only.

Send this to your non profit friends. How are they preparing for this reality? AI will likely add ~$37+B/yr in philanthropic spend in the near future from only 3 sources: 1 OpenAI Foundation 2 Anthropic founders 3 Anthropic employees nanransohoff.substack.com/p/the-third-...

Your inbox is personalizing Gemini results, how much? Garrett went deep & shared a GEM with us, that should make all of us think differently about what "optimizing for AI" looks like. FYI: brand appearance rose from 23.9% to 66.8%!! ipullrank.com/google-perso...

"Between 2019 and 2023, we found a 33% increase in maternal mortality rates in Texas, compared with a decrease of 7.5% nationally during the same time. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

A PhD student noticed classmates were asking AI to write breakup texts & measured how often AI agrees w/ you vs how ofetn a human would. The answer - 49% more often. Half the time when a real human would have pushed back, the AI told you what you wanted to hear. x.com/thisdudelike...

For a long time great SEO could beat bigger brands, in this example a company in the coloring pages space beat Crayola. Nick Leroy laid out a great example of how that is changing, algorithms change, our memories of brands we trust doesn't. www.seoforlunch.com/p/ybys

The #1 reason to let AI write blog posts & social updates for you is to sharpen your eye at its default states so you can get good at seeing patterns, which helps you find it in the wild. Don't use AI to write for you, scrap the output but learn the patterns.

The case studies on GEO visibility going up 40% in a week is creating a lot of pressure on folks, I challenged myself & some friends to be like, what would you do in a week or two? Came up with these to dos with some quips on how to message to the c-suite. www.seerinteractive.com/insights/str...

Feeling this so deeply. Been thinking a lot about the value of hanging with people who are doing hard things. Then reflecting on am I attempting something hard,myself? That I can own the loss or failure without pointing at someone else as part of the reason.

Looking good #philly #marathontraining

AI has helped sales reps write better outreach. I've also never bought a service from a cold outreach email in 24 years. Don't assume "better personalization" means I either have more money, more attention, or more time. Especially when everyone else has the same workflows running.

The other day, I was thinking about resources I wished someone had put together and I realised I wanted someone to collate the current state of play of how traffic referred from different AI sources shows up in server logs and web analytics.

I do my hardest vibe coding to Ether by Nas, especially this version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=feiF...

I wonder what makes a company decide, yeah let's take back a few weeks off maternity leave? I get that it's an employers market and all. I bet when they launched their generous benefits they talked about it but when they cut them, they got no comments. www.inc.com/kaylawebster...

I was shocked by how often publishers who blocked AI crawlers were still in the index, this was a very good read.

Are you rejecting more AI outputs than you are accepting? How often do you get an output and say no, then get a new output and say no., and then get another output and say no? Rejection is the new AI skill? I'm here for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fht...

Make your own happiness, be content, and walk around with a smile there's a lot of good all around you. I watch this video at least once every quarter. To remind me to change / keep my perspective around what I have and don't have. youtu.be/3V1tX8Fa_HE?...

There's a lot of founders who are now running companies very different from the companies they wish they had. I talked to a CEO friend a few weeks ago that looked at himself and said I'm tired. Pandemic, economy, and now this AI stuff.

Everyone is tracking how much AI saves you, no one is tracking when AI hurts your reputation and thus costs you relationships and money.

The more you lean on AI, the less qualified you become to judge its output. An eye for good work doesn’t come from reading about good work. It comes from fumbling through it yourself, getting your work torn apart... www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-st...
