Red flags: you only have 40 people and consider some c-level; most of your spend is on marketing content that is fleeting (no lasting value); with as many people in marketing as product, it seems like you want it to work more than it actually works.
Say goodbye to everyone not in product and focus on “marketing content” that shows how to effectively use the product. Maybe keep one marketer to do this.
Lawsuits like this just make sense. You can't train a model that makes you money with content you don't own without paying the content owner. What am I missing?
You could do this, or you could use the distractions as a practice for ignoring the distractions. This is quite a powerful practice for improving your ability to focus on what matters, in and outside the web.
I love how this response starts practical and then directs the heart of the matter. I think my approach falls somewhere in-between.
When reading a paper book, I use underlining for individual sentences I want to remember and an extended bracket for a paragraph I want to remember.
Next to the underlined or bracketed text, I'll add a checkmark, star, heart, or exclamation point.
The checkmark means it's worth remembering. The star means it's really worth remembering. The heart means it's something I already know and love to see again. The exclamation point means it's funny or surprising, though I don't necessarily need to remember it.
When I finish the book, I review all the text that's been marked. This helps me remember what's meaningful to me.
"'The honeymoon phase of generative AI is over,' the company said in its 2024 Generative AI Global Benchmark Study."
The company here is Lucidworks who performed the study, and probably has some ulterior motive. Usually studies like this are marketing collateral, not legitimate studies.
I think generative AI is just getting started. I'm not a fan of it, but that doesn't mean I'm in denial like Lucidworks seems to be. Yes, it's just getting started.
I love how SETI got free marketing through the movie Contact (1997). They even have a promo video with Morgan Freeman on their homepage! If I was a scientist, I'd be all over this.
2014 was a fun year. I got my first job at a CDN startup and was introduced to the world of cloud-native computing. It was cool to see Kubernetes grow as I grew as a tech marketer.
I find it strange that LLMs can be trained on any information available on the internet without crediting it. When Google steals your information, at least they add a link to your website (e.g. featured snippet).

I have a difficult time relaxing on flights, so it's hard for me to sleep. However, I just flew around the world and had a few flights that were over 8 hours. Watching movies and writing relaxes me, so I combined the two activities.
I watched some of my favorite movies and would pause the movie after a good scene and reflect on it. It was a fun journal activity. When I returned home, I published some of the journal entires as blog posts.
