    Intrigued by the LLMs.txt file spec. Though not completely supported, I see it as a way to get your site in the AI engines. I know many people feel that letting the AI engines have your content you’re aiding and abetting bad behavior on the part of these AI companies. To some extent I agree,

    3 Ways To Ruin Your Podcast… The Business Amplifier Podcast

    AI And Podcast Creation

    Google’s NotebookLM is letting people share their “podcasts” generated from their NotebookLM data with the world. First off, would you listen to an AI generated podcast more than a human-made one? Secondly, isn’t this just adding to the slop that humans have been putting out as podcasts anyway for years? There’s more than 4 million

    Has Taylor Lorenz Lost All Sense Of Sanity And Decency?

    I can’t believe Taylor Lorenz! I expected more from her. As a journalist and as fucking human being. I guess was wrong to think that highly of her. Just because you think something, doesn’t mean you say it out loud! She really gives journalism a black eye. I’d be shocked if she doesn’t lose subscribers

    Bluesky Has And Outage And People Wonder Why.

    Bluesky had a massive outage the other day, and people are wondering how could a “decentralized” social network go down like that? You know how? It’s not decentralized yet. Most of the users are still on the main server and that’s what went down. You don’t see stuff like this happening on Mastodon or the

    Bluesky Is Not Decentralized And That’s An Issue And Will Continue To Be One

    The above user allegedly had their account suspended on Bluesky at the request of the Turkish government, according to this Reddit post in the Bluesky Subreddit. This is concerning because there was a mass exodus from Twitter/X recently when that network started suspending accounts a the request of the Turkish government. Bluesky is not decentralized.

    In My Opinion Bluesky Will Never Federate And That’s Concerning

    What are we doing here folks? We all flocked to Bluesky because it resembled what we used love — Twitter from the 2010s, but with the hope that it would in the end be different. The Bluesky team has promised to federate/decentralize for a while now, with nothing coming of it. Only empty promises (so

    Lock Your Credit Reports

    I meant to write this suggestion out when I was told by my wife that we should do this. Lock your credit reports so that people can’t f- with it. This is more important now than ever with DOGE and the Muskrats rummaging through the federal government. I still can’t believe that Musk has been

    Boycott American Companies, Just Know That I Am A Good American!

    I can’t let DJT and Musk define who I am. I am a true American. I don’t stand for what the current POTUS is doing and how a non-American is destroying our country. It’s shameful, horrible, reprehensible. I see the outpouring of support around the world for Ukraine and our “leader” cozying up to the
