Mt stupid Has a Pricing Page
The closer you get to the model, the less confident you have to be. The further out you sit, the more you can charge for certainty.

From where I stand, Google seems pretty much to have given up on spam fighting. And in retrospective, that's really sad :(
"Ensures AI engines can parse and connect your content." That's the SaaS pitch for 'Technical GEO.' Schema. Structured data. Clean architecture. Ensures. LLMs were built to read unstructured language. There's nothing to ensure. Read on The Inference: theinference.io/p/the-whole-...
The Whole Point Was the Mess
LLMs read unstructured language by design. The GEO/AEO playbook is SEO best practices repackaged as novelty.

Why is SEO still treated as dark magic in 2026? The "dark art" reputation isn't a perception problem. It's a filing error that compounded for two decades. New piece on The Inference: why the room SEO is sitting in was always the wrong one. theinference.io/p/filed-unde...
Filed Under Marketing. Sitting in the wrong room.
SEO's "dark art" reputation isn't a perception problem. It's a twenty-year filing error.

@dias.social A great article by Pedro Dias. While other articles and commentary about "model collapse" theory usually focus on the long-term degradation of base LLMs during training, Pedro shows how this phenomenon is happening in real-time systems. theinference.io/p/the-ourobo...
The Ouroboros Learned to Cite Itself
Everyone’s been watching the wrong pipe. The synthetic content is already in the retrieval layer, and the answer engines are laundering it as fact.

Model collapse was supposed to be a training problem. Something slow. Something that unfolds across generations of models. Something researchers could warn about in papers while everyone kept shipping. That's not what's happening. New on The Inference: theinference.io/p/the-ourobo...

I'm not the most technical SEO ok I'm not technical at all but this helped make a lot of sense on actionable things I should be looking out for and you should too regarding AI crawlers and indexing

Google: this page I found on your site... I'm going to play with it. Drop it out of the index once in a while Also Google: Oh! I'm gonna rank this old-school blatant spam like there's no tomorrow
Pedro Dias ⚡️@dias.social · 5mo agoDear Google, Been increasingly seeing cases of blatant pure spam an entry-level analyst would be able to spot. What happened to the years of spam fighting knowledge and industry patrolling documentation? Please fix it.

AI was supposed to free up your calendar. Instead you’re now doing your original job plus QA-ing the machine’s version of it. The time you saved was real. It just was never yours to keep. New piece on The Inference. theinference.io/p/ai-saved-y...
AI Saved You Time. Your Boss Noticed.

New on Substack: Everyone says "We’re keeping seniors and automating junior work." But where do you think seniors come from? Seniority isn't a certification. It's scar tissue. We aren't innovating. We're burning the apprenticeship. open.substack.com/pub/theinfer...
The Competence Cliff
AI is automating the grunt work that made senior practitioners senior. Nobody's asking where the next generation of experts comes from.

I've been finding myself "forgetting" about ChatGPT for quite some time now. My immediate go-to models have been Claude (work and code) and Gemini (all rounder).

The traffic bargain was a lucky externality, not a contract. Nobody signed anything. AI systems don’t cite sources because they metabolise them. Asking for attribution is like asking someone to cite the conversations that shaped their personality. theinference.io/p/publishing...
Publishing Everything Is a Terrible Business Strategy
The traffic bargain was a lucky externality, not a contract. It's time to stop mourning it.
