Love these honest updates because it shows the realities of working on the early stages of a saas startup!

A four-panel comic titled "Modern SEO Explained."

Panel 1: A person hands a document to a humanoid figure with a computer monitor for a head displaying the Google logo. The person says, "I am an expert and I wrote this for people." Google replies, "OK."

Panel 2: A second person hands over a rewritten version of the first document, saying, "I am not an expert and I rewrote what he wrote for you." Google responds, "Ooh!"

Panel 3: A third person hands over another version, saying, "I remixed the last guy's content most recently." Google, now turned away from the first two, says, "Fresh!"

Panel 4: A large robotic AI machine with many arms waves documents and says, "Never mind these guys. We are the content now." Google enthusiastically replies, "Yes!" The three human contributors are shown panicking or running away. Comic is signed "Datch Haven."

The Open-Source Software Saving the Internet From AI Bot Scrapers Anubis, which block AI scrapers from scraping websites to death, has been downloaded almost 200,000 times.

This is a really interesting solution for the AI bot scraper problem!

The casting really doesn't make sense for this particular character given what happens to him unless they plan to make some broad changes to the plot. Hell, it'd make more sense to cast a Black actor for Harry. Idk they could say he was adopted or something.

He did mention that I have to be the workspace owner for the change to get implemented so maybe you're right. I guess it was a simple solution since I'm a solo user. It sucks that pretty much every service I use now has mandatory AI often with only AI chat support available. The future is grim af.

An Elixir book club is a neat idea! Just joined your discord. I'll try my best to catch up with that book.

Unfortunately, it's pretty telling that they didn't include the option to just turn it off in the settings or even say you can contact support to have it removed. At least they're still using humans for support. For now.

I wonder what content they're gonna use to train new models with when people stop making fresh content about new topics/ideas.

I tried this and it worked! They responded in a few hours and completely got rid of the AI product from my workspace. I was really starting to get irritated every time I saw that stupid logo with the moving beady eyes that they use for their AI. Thanks for the tip! <3

This is exactly my experience. It's essentially mostly people I already follow, video game content, trending news (minus politics because I ruthlessly mute such content), and cat/rabbit/dog pictures.

This is funny to me because I only use the discover tab on here and usually see plenty of interesting things. But also I have muted like 100 words lol

Interesting. Same day as Gears release on PS5. They must have made a deal. I hope it's a sign of more multi-console releases for Sony.

This seems like a huge nothingburger tbh plenty of studios use AI for this sort of thing and more. It's unfortunate yours is the current chosen one for a good raking over coals.
