#general
Paul: Greetings AIMG! Glad to be here. My LinkedIn, Fractional CRO/revenue consultant/advisor, also cofounding an AI startup. Formerly from the ads/media world (agency founder > Google > Foursquare) with a stint in ed tech.
Ev: Hey, Evgeny Popov is here. My recent work on AdCP. OpenRTB. Prebid. Now AdCP: The Standard That Lets AI Run Your Media.
Judy: There is a lot of discussion about whether GEO (AI Search) is just an evolved version of SEO using "different tools."..
Martin: “How to Build a Software Brain” digs into a decade of Decision Intelligence, turning human reasoning into code. Intelligence isn’t about faster CPUs; it’s about the flow of context → causality → choice...
Brett: Hi Everyone! To introduce myself, my name is Brett DiDonato and I am founder of the video ad optimization platform Collinearity AI. I'm a former startup CTO and Staff AI Specialist at Google.
Nate: Has anyone seen reliable survey data on what percentage of marketers are optimizing to appear in AI? I'm writing a report on GEO/AEO, and I can't for the life of me find something with a general digital marketer sample and a methodology that stands up to scrutiny. Thanks!
#job-board
David: These 30 startups each raised $10-50M from top-tier funds in recent weeks and are hiring.
Michael: I’m soon hiring for a Product Marketing Manager on Insperity HRCore, which is a service supported HCM solution. Remote role with a remote, yet highly collaborative marketing organization. DM me with your resume if interested. I should be posting a job description in the next couple weeks. This is an early heads up for a great role with an AI-forward team.
#news
David: The top 10 stocks in the S&P 500 account for 40% of the index’s market cap. Since ChatGPT launched in November 2022, AI-related stocks have registered 75% of S&P 500 returns, 80% of earnings growth, and 90% of capital spending growth.
Randall: Anil Dash really does not like OpenAI's Atlas. I think he makes a lot of really good points that I am not sure how OpenAI can iterate out of. These seem fundamental to the notion of an open web and MUCH more walled garden (thinking AOL vs internet).
#selfpromo
James: Finished a data study and causal impact experiment using an internal linking api to update the entire internal linking graph split tested on a section of a site.
Stas: Dear community, we’ve just launched LightSite.ai on Product Hunt! Please give us your support here.
Mike: It was exciting and humbling to be invited to record an episode of The AI Hat Podcast at MAICON this year, and it happened to be our 100th episode! How fitting then to have three-time guest Eva Dong from Google on the show.
