I never thought that SEO was dying, quite the contrary, I think a lot people learned how to game Google. That’s one of the reasons why I think helpful results on Google are dying (the other reason is ads, of course).

There was a Brazilian billionaire also obsessed with “X”, Eike Batista. “X” had a mystical significance for him, it meant a multiplier or whatever. He would name all of his companies with “X” too, before Musk I believe. But he was a much mo

I disagree. It just says that the essay author thinks there was an opportunity for the book author to do a real act of activism. Yet, they still chose emptiness. It is just there, in my view, to strengthen the argument that it was not the c

I think the delaying of the publication of “The Snow Forest”, more exactly, the actions and words of the author about it, was an excellent place to start this essay. It pretty effectively construct the context to culminate in the sentence:

> ” If you want to feel sad for art, drop in on a reddit post where somebody asks "What's the best X?" where X can be a book, movie, podcast, etc.” I, in general, agree with your perspective, but this example does not fo

I disagree with the statement ”the best modern works are less deep, less able to interest you, than the best past works.” . That might have been true for you, but I don’t think it is a general perception for everyone. The problem I see is

Sudowrite, an AI tool for fiction writing, sort of has this philosophy. I interviewed with them and the analogy they used is that they want to “provide the clay so you can mold it”. They generate some basic text for you and then you edit it

I am amateur (but wannabe professional) fiction writer. When I see this type of tool I realize that I have a conceptual misalignment with some (most?) writers in regarding to focus, editing, flow. For me, editing is part of the flow. I li

I don’t think the intriguing part of SBF is the crime he committed, which is a pretty common one. For me, it is how he, after getting caught, hurts his own case being proactive in doing and saying stuff publicly. The common type of white co
