In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.

Mon, October 14: 97% of web pages get zero traffic from Google
“The big platforms, you’re gonna take all of our traffic and that is okay because I can still have influence by being present in the places where people pay attention.”

Tue, October 15: You couldn’t tell who the bosses were
When the bartender was later asked why he made the investment, he replied, “I’ve worked a lot of corporate events over the years, but capital cities was the only company where you couldn’t tell who the bosses were.”

Wed, October 16: Using cash is expensive
– If you pay with cash, it costs you an additional $149 per household over the course of a year.
– If you use a card, you gain $1,133 in extra rewards over the course of a year.

Thu, October 17: AI detectors simply don’t work
If AI could ever be used to distinguish between AI text and human text, that same AI would be able to generate human text. It’s a paradox.
