Fun episode! The Slate truck has power windows as an option. I'm equally as excited about it as Adam seemed to be.

AI SEO is a good topic and one that I'm going to bring back to work to see what we can do to be better there. Ads in AI is why I believe the future of AI truly is local models. Less energy waste and fewer ads, hopefully.

This was a good one :thumbs_up: . That lemon speech from Millions was new to me, but it stacks up pretty well against the one that always comes to my mind: https://youtu.be/NyLUU3O4zW8

So... make lemonade vs. make people want to buy lemons vs. make life rue the day it gave you lemons. Really something for everyone there.

Definitely agree with @Matthew Sanabria and need to bring up LLM SEO at my workplace too. ATM, Gemini does not place my workplace anywhere near the recommendations when I ask it unless I seed it with my company's name.

I brought it up today. We're doing what we reasonably can to get more text on the website and to ensure AI bots can reasonably scrape that when it is trained next. Want to make sure Oxide comes up in the right context but we also know all of this stuff is changing rapidly so we will have to check back as standards emerge. Right now it's very OpenAI centric.
