The move by The Athletic to join Bluesky is quite interesting.
I love the network and find its audience very engaged. But I recognize that their brand power significantly influenced this
(it helps, but it's not the deciding factor).

Blind trust in AI-generated code, content, and solutions for SEO can backfire and represents a vulnerability.

Because of this, never skip a review step before going "live." This implies establishing processes and boundaries for your team.🧶

This is an article that deserves to be read by anyone who is working or intends to work in the SEO market for news sites.

If I could add anything, it would be how the alt and description attributes of images can contribute to understanding the context, especially in content about finance.

By 2030, the % gap in the human-machine relationship at work will be even smaller.

According to data from the Future of Jobs Report, about 34% of a person's work will be performed by technology. 33% by a combination of both, and 33% by people alone. Today, we have, respectively, 22%, 30%, and 47%.

I'm putting together a reading list for 2025.

I read an article about attacks on LLMs and how it would be possible to alter the results of some queries months ago. I thought I was wasting my time studying these things, going crazy, I don't know. I see I'm not.
