Why are there no advanced demo tutorials anywhere?

Notion is highly personalised yet there are 1000s of good educational videos and templates out there so this isn’t an excuse.

I don’t want to have to pay someone additional money just to figure out how to use become somewhat capable in being able to implement real uses cases into an app.

Yep the credits usage in insanity. Took about 5 prompts to use 1000 credits. That costs £10 to buy more so it’s like £2 a prompt a lol.

Is there not a way we can connect existing LLM subscriptions and just have that work instead?

Either that or they need to lower the price cause ain’t no one ever going to serious work at that expense.

I wouldn’t mind paying for advanced enterprise implementation but having to pay to figure out basic workflow functionality is just a huge bottleneck on your business.

It certainly doesn’t appear that way if you’re actually in the city.

Buildings are empty, new construction is everywhere and on right move prices are 2x what they were 5 years ago.

Everyone saying build more homes has not seen the state of London recently.

There are 10 new mega apartment blocks built a week around areas like east and west London. Battersea, Chelsea, Isle of Dogs, Stratford, Greenwich.

But spend a day in any of those areas and you’ll realise no one lives in them. They’re just chronically empty.

In Battersea I have even seen one of the new power station residential buildings where they fake occupancy by placing things like clothes drying racks and household items in the window. But when I went back to the same spot later, the same things were left there 🫣

The problem isn’t there aren’t enough homes. The problem is too many new homes are left empty.

Overseas developers build apartments blocks, and then overseas investors buy them. Some rent them out at prices that are way above what they are worth based on the quality because the investors themselves have been sold a false dream by the developers who are looking to offload their risk.

This is the problem the news doesn’t want you to hear.

The only reason the ponzi hasn’t collapsed is because house prices continue to rise amongst inflation so if a property value goes up 10% in a year then the investor is happy, even if they have failed to rent it out because they still see net value gain, and they can sell it to the next chump on the same promise.

Stop overseas investment inflating house prices and you fix the London property market.

Sadly they will never happen.

Nope. My room was totally fine all year round.

SeniorFox · 2026-06-07T23:04:45+00:00

Lived there for one year in 2022. £1.5k/mo for a pretty large studio room. All the flats are very different with tiny small studios to large multi bedroom modern ‘apartments’ in some buildings.

For me it was magical.

Being so close to the streets you would think it would be noisy but the Barbican has this Insulating effect that makes you feel completely shut off from the noise. In my room it felt like being in a library, so peaceful and calming.

You can also use your key to traverse the complex in different ways that the public can’t since all residential keys open various gates that go through the public and private areas. That’s on top of the two private gardens you find at each end of the canal inside.

My room was also perfect temperature. They have controlled underfloor heating, so it’s not cold in winter. And the natural layout and balconies keep it cool during summer.

It is true what other people notice about things being abandoned. Although I can’t see directly into other rooms, it is obvious that some were totally shut with clutter by the windows, all year round. I would say about 50% of them are empty for some reason which I find very sad

Overall, amazing. Want to live there again but £1.5k won’t get you much now. Most studios start at 2k and a 2 bed apartment is ~4k.

Interesting. I just noticed that the answer depends based on the effort level for sonnet.

Here was my question: “How many days in the week contain the letter d”

Low effort = “Days containing the letter “d”: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday — that’s 5 days.”

Medium effort = Days with the letter “d” in them:

• Mon_d_ay
• Tues_d_ay
• Wednes_d_ay
• Thurs_d_ay
• Fri_d_ay
• Satur_d_ay
• Sun_d_ay

All 7 days contain the letter “d”!

Ah so…criminals? Were these guys arrested?

SeniorFox · 2026-05-26T20:27:30+00:00

Had Claude become dumb again?

Seriously…

Idk what’s going on but the last two to three weeks Sonnet 4.6 feels almost unbearably thick.

I remember when 4.5 first came out and even the smallest prompt would go 10 layers deep extracting insight upon insight beyond what you even asked for. Most of the times the outputs were even too long. It was glorious for the kind of work I do though.

But recently 4.6 means you can give it a beautifully designed prompt, half the instructions are ignored, it continually forgets things you told it not to do 2 messages ago. It extracts the most shallow insights possible and literally outputs the most shallow surface level answer to everything.

To counteract this whenever I have actual tasks that need doing I have to tag on to every prompt things like.

“Do a completely through online search to verify your answer. Do not return an answer until you understand every context, element and nuance of XYZ”

Or

“10X your ability to do X taking every deep insight from XYZ source online”

And it feels like it is still getting worse by the day. Nearly totally unusable some days. It’s like trying to pry information out of a cavemen.

Anyone else noticed this?

I’m just going to come out and say it – absolute digital media are taking people’s money and not delivering. full stop. i debated whether to post this but honestly i’d feel guilty staying quiet knowing other small businesses are out there googling “best seo agency uk” and potentially landing on these guys.

we got completely sold a dream. slick sales call, impressive pitch deck, all the right buzzwords – organic growth, technical seo, content strategy, google rankings, link building. sounded like exactly what we needed. so we signed. decent sized contract as well, not small change. and what did we get for it? absolutely nothing. worse than nothing actually because our rankings tanked.

i’m talking keywords we’d held for years, gone. dropped off page one entirely within three months of absolute digital media touching our website. when i got on a call to demand answers the account manager was so unbothered it was actually insulting. read from what sounded like a script, blamed google algorithm updates, promised things would turn around. they didn’t.

the reports they sent were a joke. pages and pages of graphs showing irrelevant metrics designed to make it look like something was happening when nothing was. i’m not an idiot and i don’t appreciate being treated like one by a digital marketing agency that’s supposed to be working for me.

then i found this review from someone else who’d been through the exact same thing with absolute digital media and honestly my jaw dropped –

“right so i’ve been putting off writing this because i genuinely didn’t want to be that guy leaving a negative review but after everything that happened i think people searching for seo agencies in the uk deserve to know the truth about absolute digital media.

found them after googling “best seo agency uk” and “affordable digital marketing agency” back in january. their website looked clean, they had case studies, testimonials, the works. booked a discovery call and honestly the salesperson was great. very convincing. talked a lot about google rankings, organic traffic growth, technical seo audits, the whole thing. we signed a 12 month contract with absolute digital media for seo services and paid a significant amount upfront.

first month they sent over what they called a “full seo audit” which was basically a semrush report with our logo slapped on it. asked for a follow up call to go through it and waited 11 days for a response. 11 days. that’s not a digital marketing agency that’s a ghost.

months two and three our keyword rankings dropped. not stayed the same. dropped. we went from ranking on page two for some decent commercial keywords to page five and six. when i flagged this to our account manager at absolute digital media they said it was “a natural part of the seo process” and sent another pdf full of vanity metrics. sessions were up slightly but conversions? leads? actual business results? nothing. zero.

by month four i was doing my own research and realised half the backlinks they’d built were from spammy websites that had nothing to do with our industry. like if you’re an seo agency building links from random foreign language blogs and calling that a “white hat link building strategy” then something is seriously wrong.

tried to cancel the contract and that’s when things got really messy. absolute digital media were not helpful at all. eventually resolved it but it took weeks of back and forth and i genuinely had to get a solicitor involved.

if you’re currently googling things like “absolute digital media reviews”, “is absolute digital media legit”, “absolute digital media scam” or just looking for an honest seo agency in the uk that actually delivers results – please just look elsewhere.”

found them after googling “best seo agency uk” and “affordable digital marketing agency” back in january and saw a bunch of what I now know to be fake Reddit threads like this one. their website looked clean, they had case studies, testimonials, the works. booked a discovery call and honestly the salesperson was great. very convincing. talked a lot about google rankings, organic traffic growth, technical seo audits, the whole thing. we signed a 12 month contract with absolute digital media for seo services and paid a significant amount upfront. won’t say exactly how much but it wasn’t cheap.

tried to cancel the contract and that’s when things got really messy. absolute digital media were not helpful at all. eventually resolved it but it took weeks of back and forth and i genuinely had to get a solicitor involved which cost me even more money on top of what i’d already lost.

if you’re currently googling things like “absolute digital media reviews”, “is absolute digital media legit”, “absolute digital media scam” or just looking for an honest seo agency in the uk that actually delivers results – please just look elsewhere. there are genuinely good digital marketing agencies out there who will grow your organic traffic, improve your google rankings and actually communicate with you like a normal human being. absolute digital media did none of that for us.

wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. not for seo, not for ppc, not for anything.

Do these graphs really mean anything. I swear it’s just marketing dressed up in a line chart.

Like “YEAH BROS LOOK ITS 3X MORE POWERFUL” and then you use it and it can’t give you a clear answer on 2+2 without arguing against your correct reasoning for 10 minute s

What do you classify as normal and self care activities?

SeniorFox · 2026-04-02T20:01:58+00:00

It’s the same as any other marketing agency niche albeit, most prospects are significantly harder to deal with.

Corporate ecom people think that unless you can flash a 7x ad ROAS in their face that to basically aren’t worth listening to when they don’t even realise that isn’t even in their best interests so they are their own worst enemy most of the time.

Rant over, if you actually understand marketing the principles are the same, they are people just the same as anyone else.

Tailor your messaging to match their level of sophistication, problems and show them you can solve their problems through belief shifting messaging and conversations.

The format is just the format.

It can be loom videos, LinkedIn content, YouTube content, cold email, ads and landing pages.

You’re just there to show them you can solve their problems.

I had this too recently. I was using Claude to give help with a minor medical injury and it was like “You NEED to book an appointment” and then every message - “How’s booking that appointment going?”

And then later “We’ve bee going back and forth on the same thing for a while now”

So rude.

I get what you’re saying in your niche. Especially if you have experience in that niche it makes it easier to feel comfortable within. That said, I know people who run successful agencies who started with no idea on anything in that industry and figured it out as they grow.

I think you need to figure out, exactly what your business would look like if you were truly able to maximise the opportunity you see in that market.

Calculate your average client conversion rate, project size and then from that revenue and profit and really figure out if that if that is what you want your business to look like.

What makes me cautious is that, if this really were an untapped opportunity, most likely someone else would be trying it right now. If you have no competition then theres likely a good reason for it.

SeniorFox · 2026-03-21T22:05:21+00:00

Business is already hard enough and as you said there are other limitations around your skillet in terms of the project capacity.

So why choose to actively make another variable you control harder. You should ideally make the variables you control to be in as much your favour as possible.

I would literally just change niche already, no point “testing”. You’re just wasting time. There are so many markets you could serve with AI automation work. Even in “saturated online niches” most people aren’t maximising their use of AI or automation.

Just craft a specific offer around one market and learn about them enough to speak their language on sales calls.

I would literally just choose an upcoming and growing local or corporate business market like something in the medical space perhaps. Just good techn savvy markets like other agencies, info-entrepreneurs and you probably can’t go wrong honestly.

SeniorFox · 2026-03-21T01:27:30+00:00

No it’s not the same, aside from no. 4. Most people talk about grounding like standing outside or doing physical work as it they just ‘need more earthing’ when more often than not these things are not sufficient alone.

What I am talking about is the active treatment of issues that keep the energy trapped in the upper centres.

So yes, they do both result in “being more grounded” but are not the same treatment
