In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.
Mon, October 14: 97% of web pages get zero traffic from Google
“The big platforms, you’re gonna take all of our traffic and that is okay because I can still have influence by being present in the places where people pay attention.”
Tue, October 15: You couldn’t tell who the bosses were
When the bartender was later asked why he made the investment, he replied, “I’ve worked a lot of corporate events over the years, but capital cities was the only company where you couldn’t tell who the bosses were.”
Wed, October 16: Using cash is expensive
– If you pay with cash, it costs you an additional $149 per household over the course of a year.
– If you use a card, you gain $1,133 in extra rewards over the course of a year.
Thu, October 17: AI detectors simply don’t work
If AI could ever be used to distinguish between AI text and human text, that same AI would be able to generate human text. It’s a paradox.
Fri, October 18: Fake photos have been a problem for a long time
There was actually a bill introduced to the Senate in 1912 that was “to prohibit the making, showing or distributing of fraudulent photographs“, but it never got passed.
Sat, October 19: You are or you aren’t
“Yet interestingly, we also found that performance on these attributes does not fall along a spectrum but tends to be binary. Either you’re reliable or you’re not. You have integrity or you don’t.”
I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
