If you’re wondering how doing my business taxes is going… well

Hm. My #Youtube demographics are... skewed.

I was down on 2024 progress but actually ran the numbers…

Have to be happy with the wins.

What do we think about the Netflix NFL score graphic?

Kind of feels like the NBC version. All the info is pretty obvious… I don’t hate it?

Well, that’s a first for a spam email… (no one “speaks” Akkadian, especially not me!)

#NotebookLLM took 3 sources (only 1 in English) and gave a very detailed and correct (as far as I can tell from the source translation) interpretation of a Roman Villa

This... is far better than the alternative! I don't see a strong argument against this.

What do you think?

Frustrating that Google is STILL angry with me and basically not crawling the site, but at least #Bing (!!!) likes the site now and is sending traffic.

What's funny, because of that, is #ChatGPT is a now sending a non-insignificant amount of traffic... who would've thunk it

Update - it's pretty damn awesome.

Even more than Github Copilot, it's a full-blown Agent. I'm just sitting, watching it work, confirming when it wants to run a terminal command. And runs Claude 3.5 Sonnet!

A little #AI project for helping me build out websites:

Claude enabled Chatbot that links directly to a Github repo and "reads" the code & structure.

Makes it so easy to generate new code that fits into codebase, and has a cost counter to keep an eye on budget

If you're wondering how #Threads is responding to Blueksy surge...

AI summaries

Major yikes.
"Giants release Daniel Jones" -> "Giants release quarterback Daniel Jones"

ok.

Like the concept! I'd lean even more into that theme, and use the diamond icon liberally.

I just popped into Claude and had it mock this up quickly. Something like this would be amazing!

Quite bizarre using a chatbot to diagnose code that is... for itself.

It be like acting a surgeon to operate on themselves.

(I did ask the chatbot if it felt weird doing this and fortunately, it said it's just a helpful AI Assistant! So no skynet yet)

I can also see that the crawl requests when down to a crawl (pun intended) right at that date. But never really recovered
November 15, 2024 at 6:05 PM
Any technical #SEO experts out here?

I accidentally broke my robots.txt file. I since fixed it but it seems Google is now angry and really doesn't want to crawl my site. Extremely frustrating as the traffic had just started to grow before that!

Do I just wait it out or what?

What is the Kelly Green vs Midnight Green breakdown? Can someone count. People love a Kelly green, clearly

Shaping up to be a great season imo
