@lost_nomad__ California beaches are more scenic with the cliffs by the seaside. But from a pure beach standpoint, it’s hard to beat the Florida gulf coast

@mikesimonsen The issue is rarely ever in the early stages. It’s when they reach multi billion or trillion dollar valuations and start to wield that money to exploit politics, people and smaller businesses.

I’ve lived in Silicon Valley for 28 years. I know several billionaires. In ALL cases the $ came from building a rocket ship company that people love I shared cube space with Jan and Brian as they built WhatsApp. I really think AOC just needs to get out of New York a bit.

AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”

@MattKleinOnline Serious question, why does Florida get to violate the constituent when redrawing their maps without any type of voter referendum? Makes no sense to me when the Fair Districts Act is in the literal state construction and is meant to stop partisan redrawing.

AI is making too many people confidently wrong. It’s inflating their sense of skills and knowledge on subjects they haven’t earned expertise on. Maybe I’m guilty of it myself sometimes, but atleast I have the self awareness to stop and question myself.

@lilyraynyc Just a few weeks ago the hype on this platform was getting mentioned in YouTube videos. I guess it’s on to the next one now….

@top5seo I mean, are we even building content for humans anymore or more for LLMs to read and report back to their handlers?

If you can't be bothered to write an article, why should anyone bother to read it? LLMs produce the average of the average, no matter how fancy your pipeline is. Here we have (I assume) Claude Opus, hooked in to everything, yet Gemini Flash Lite (hooked up to nothing, and given zero to work with except a title and some headings) produces content that could be a drop in replacement for the bulk of it. This is the very definition of commodity content. Dull, forgettable, exists for the sake of existing. Ranks because of domain authority. Posting about it publicly draws attention to it. In many cases, that's not ending well. Was "SEO content" like this before LLMs? In many cases, yes. But it didn't have to be. And it still doesn't. It's a choice.

here's the exact process we built to automate content creation using Claude Code, 23 custom skill files, and the .@ahrefs MCP: ahrefs.com/blog/how-i-do-… (the article also includes a YouTube video where i demo the whole system to our ever-discerning CMO, @timsoulo) hope this is helpful, and spurs a few ideas for automating the drudgery out of your work :)

> $700/month per location retainer > $7K/month for ten clients on books > nobody on Twitter calls this a business > the buyers exist in every zip code > 5-8 hours per client per week > by Q4 someone names it as a service > by then the rates are halved

Has anyone built a tool that can read through all my X bookmarks and let me know if I’ve missed anything important?

@amasad It feels like Replit sees a lot of the use cases people are building on their platform as features to their own product now. Are you a platform for builders or a competitor to them?

@shannholmberg I spent two years trying to build something similar. Content was always slop. These guys are a lot smarter than me, but that’s always the biggest downfall with these tools and AI. Fine for informational website content, some blogs aren’t too bad. But social always sinks.

honest first impression of Helena, the "autonomous AI marketer" you start by giving it your website URL and it fetches your brand, analyzes competitors, and generates a full brand knowledge base. the brand read was accurate it generates all of this from your URL alone: > brand guidelines > business profile > market research > marketing strategy > competitor deep dive > content calendar for april 2026 > email newsletter concepts then it immediately starts creating content. linkedin posts with visuals, x posts, blog articles the content quality is sloppy. some posts had hashtags (big no on x), the copy reads like generic slop. the images are better than I expected but nothing a serious brand would post without heavy editing the infrastructure underneath is solid though it set up automated recurring tasks without me asking: > weekly automation suggestions (every monday 3pm) > weekly competitor intelligence digest (every tuesday 9am) > weekly linkedin content brief (every monday 7pm) > weekly SEO content recommendations (every wednesday 9am) Plenty of integrations: Google Analytics, Search Console, Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Stripe, Pinterest compared to the "AI CMO" that went viral last week, it can pull from multiple data sources and use that context in its strategy the amount it generates just on onboarding is valuable, they are probably burning a lot of tokens on first signups foundation and infrastructure are there. if the content quality catches up to the infra, it might be worth spending time with however, you can build this yourself in a week, with MUCH better output
