I'm down the shore so didn't post anything, but had the same reaction as @eschatonblog.com to this (alleged) bit from Anthropic's upcoming IPO.

Biden didn't do the important "taking credit loudly and clearly and often" part though. Contrast with Sheinbaumb in Mexico who has the mandate of heaven.

GPT, Claude, Gemini and the Google Overview AI's are all addicted to speed. There's a literal race to feed info into a query. Winners have a chance to have their link show up in the result. When it comes to citing sources, fast sites win.

It's trite to compare AI and the dot-com boom. Having lived both, there's a dark undertone in AI discourse that was never there in the early days of the World Wide Web. I picking apart the reasons for this can be a fun intellectual exercise, but more often than not I just find it makes me sad.

Josh Koenig @outlandishjosh.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Probably much more immediately practical

Machine learning and smell-o-vision will probably have a moment in the future, but the human nose (a weak nose, by mammal standards) has yet to be digitalized.

Fair enough! I'm a non expert. I assumed from your "Grandpa could spot it" phase that you could ID by sight.

What actually matters when it comes to getting your website cited by AI? Finally we have some data. 1. Faster is better, with no upper limit 2. Content to boilerplate ration matters 3. Quality and structure matters TL;DR: make good content easy to consume. pantheon.io/resources/eb...

As an AI realist, this is on the "legit" side of the line. Needs to be taught by grandpas or other experts but "visual screening" is a thing computers are good at when trained properly.

You can't do transformation like this with a monolithic multisite. Pantheon has the winning formula for large, diversified, web estates. pantheon.io/resources/ca...

1. The ability to handle high traffic at a moment's notice 2. Tight integration w/GitHub - no longer optional in the AI era 3. Moving beyond multisite as the go-to solution for portfolio management There's simply no other vendor that hits these marks. Enterprise WordPress demands all three.

As advertised, here's how Pantheon Does WordPress Better. Again, I mean this in the context of Enterprise workloads and sites that matter, not for every single instance; but I really mean it! There's three layers to this story.

There's no "one weird trick" to AI optimization. But what gets measured is what gets managed. We analyzed 5000 pages to measure the likelihood of citation. Find out what works (and what doesn't) - and use that to pitch your clients on winning the race for AI citation. pantheon.io/resources/eb...

Not sure if it's vibe-shift or just a PR person joined the CEO group chat, but it sure feels like "Actually AI isn't taking everyone's jobs" got hard-launched this week. Either way, score one for #AIRealism

Same. And good for Colbert. That took guts. But also in hindsight an object lesson in how we've been waaaaay over-trained on the story that someone pointing out the emperor has no clothes will change things.

The frameworks are a huge help. v0 is more of an alternative to Claude Code or Antigravity. TBD if that ends up being a thing or not, but Tailwind, Next, and Arshad's UI component library are huge

One of my personal hopes is that the democratization latent in vibe coding leads to tons more local hangout spots and online curiosities.

There's also a brisk business in pulling ancient infrastructure from elsewhere in the world and retrofitting it. These people are all going to get crushed as more LNG export capacity comes online and EU nations bid the price up up up in a couple years

000

Josh Koenig @outlandishjosh.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

Yep. Gas export capacity is a bottleneck but that will open up in a few years; balancing prices with what Germany will pay absent Hormuz dire straits puts them deep underwater. This might hasten the reckoning though.

A lot of these projects depend on gas power. LNG export capacity to Europe is going upupup! in the next four years, which will put a lot of already built stuff underwater
