👁️ If you are an organisation or person that seeks to widen your audience - why would you block RSS❓Limiting what you put in the feed .. I understand … but completely blocking I do not. Thoughts from the cognoscenti welcome.

RSS—really simple syndication—gives all of us scale. This is, as Kurt Vonnegut once said, a miracle on the order of loaves and fish. It’s foundational.


🎥 Big Fish, 2003 ★★★★★

When I first saw this film … film, not movie - film … I logged it as one of my top, personal favourites of all time.

My opinion hasn’t changed.

💬🏢 To be declared a category king .. you need to be taking 70 percent - ish of all revenue and profits of said category. If nobody in a category is making a profit does that mean there is no category king❓Wondering on behalf of Sam, Dario et al.


💬🏢 That still doesn’t mean free - which is where I think people get confused. And for an extended thought ‘free’ is too often measured in not spending money. Associate your time with money and you start to realise how much free costs.


👁️ OH … now that I did not expect. But at least I understand what has happened.

A parody I believe - but just like with satire - I have this nervous feeling that parody might not be able to keep up with reality.

“This sentence was written by a human.”

That’s not a lie. That’s a fact.

This post is rare because line 2 is usually a clear indication that an LLM has been involved in the post creation. In this case that is not true.

‘Clear indication’ is not the same as ‘absolute’.

Likewise the em dash.

No, the use of an em dash does not mean that the writing was generated by the LLM - but no one can deny that we have seen a bucket load more of them since LLMs turned up - and are used a lot by people who often include in their posts something like … “that’s not a coincidence - that’s a pattern”.

🏢 Clever image included in this LinkedIN 🔗 post.

My comment:

The only change to the image I would make is to put the rust bucket at the back … to extend your metaphor how many corporate drivers look back … they have declared their shiny new strategy and off they go .. without a clue that the organisation behind them is not what they think it is.


👁️ It’s the 23rd April and it needs to be said …


👁️ The Hugo thing started to make me wonder a few weeks ago .. and now the social cards .. with @sod pointing out to me that my theme has been untouched for four years.

Is it time to bite the bullet?
