I do research and read through academic papers for fun.

I really enjoyed editing some blog post drafts from a couple of people in tech recently.
I want to do it again, so open offer:
If anybody #writing any long form pieces on #tech #marketing or #content wants a pair of eyes and probably very picky & overly detailed comments from me, who has been trained as a professional editor and writing instructor for 5+ years now - send me your Google docs or Notion pages in DMs here.
I’ll try to take a look while I have time!

Thinking of moving servers to #Hachyderm but hesitating because my posts wouldn’t move over 🥲
Although the longer I hesitate, the more posts I would have to lose
Having a small platform is so weird.
Every now & then I get discouraged because it feels like nobody looks at my work.
And then I get a message like this and everything feels worth it again ☺️
Most “best practices” in content #marketing are a losing game.
Marketers HAVE TO stop copying ideas, points, and examples from everyone else at the top of search results.
Trying to stand out by writing the same “best project management tools for 2023” list is an unproductive use of time and budget.
Here's a real example of how silly this #SEO optimized content race can get.

Pull quotes continued:
"The compulsion to show 'balance' by always referring to AI's alleged potential for good should be dropped by acknowledging that the social benefits are still speculative while the harms have been empirically demonstrated."
"Instead of reactionary solutionism, let us ask where the technologies are that people really need. Let us reclaim the idea of socially useful production, of technological developments that start from community needs."

“Today, we are publishing the Collective Intelligence Project whitepaper, our R&D agenda for transformative tech governance. It is our contribution to what we see as one of the world’s biggest problems. We couldn’t be more excited to share it with you. 1/ https://t.co/J3XeAz9fVZ”
ChatGPT is David Copperfield.
Here's the thing: ChatGPT is impressive, interesting, and I suspect has some real use cases.
But I think a lot of people who believe they are seeing the future (especially the NEAR future) of xyz in ChatGPT are being dazzled by smoke and mirrors.
If I want to see the Statue of Liberty disappear, I'll call David Copperfield. And I'll be dazzled.
But if I actually have a real thing to demolish, I will call an engineer and a professional crew.

@amandanat just published an incredibly thorough post about speaking at live or online #conferences
If you aren't convinced, here's how she describes it:
"This isn’t an “ultimate guide.” This isn’t going to be 5,000 words containing every single thing you need to know about public speaking. This is a crash course. Succinct advice on a bunch of things that you need to know about speaking at conferences. Things that most people wouldn’t even think to advise you on."
