AI is reshaping discovery so I decided to make a map of the changing landscape: from algorithmic feeds that predict what we want, to answer engines that synthesize information, to emerging personal AI and smart web protocols. www.linkedin.com/posts/ezra-e...?

Wayfinder #109 is out, taking a look at how trust is flowing differently these days - we're in this strange world where influencers shape how millions decide what's true, while most of them don't see themselves as particularly influential. www.linkedin.com/pulse/109-tr...?
#109 - Trust without Truth
Trust flows differently than before. While traditional media loses ground, influencers are reshaping how millions of people decide what's true and what matters.

Great to see these stats compiled by Bluesky of publishers seeing better engagement and CTR - this is of course a snapshot taken during ‘the surge’ - so curious to see how this evolves over time. Anyone tracking this?

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you.

All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋
