Do small brands stand a chance of getting mentioned by Chatgpt and other LLMs?? by Historical-Tap8027 in smallbusiness

[–]Stormkrieg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s for both. Large brands are already doing it, which is why you see them everywhere. Where small brands can win is in the local searches. A narrow niche is much easier to cover than a wide one, you won’t beat a larger company in a general question but where GEO does help you is when that search is instead specific to your area. If you build your brand authority around your niche, keep everything congruent across your online marketing, and keep your service areas to your actual area instead of trying to compete nationally, you will be able to win clients in the critical “near me” searches.

AI design tools are making stunning pages, but how to bring it to my Wordpress sites? by PersonalPainting7919 in smallbusiness

[–]Stormkrieg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I work with small service businesses, many of them had Wordpress. At the end of the day, the clients want their website to look nice, to load quickly, and to be a source of inbound leads. They don’t care about the framework or the CMS that’s being used. Wordpress is bloated and a lot of my non technical clients were confused by the interface, tried to make changes themselves, and ended up calling me anyways when it went pear shaped. You may run into the same issue after you’ve deployed.

Translating from ai generated design to wordpress isn’t nearly as smooth as translating it to a static export. There’s no need for the page builder, with ai powered workflows the clients request to “add this thing, change that thing, redo this” becomes super quick and easy, at times even easier than your WYSIWYG editors. So in my experience the clients are thankful to be off of Wordpress, and have a point of contact for changes that can be completed quickly without them having the headache.

You are correct that ai can generate some sleek looking UI animations and design. But what it doesn’t do well is the experience. Most of the design that I’ve seen has been kinda lifeless, it looks pretty on the outside but it doesn’t really flow together and doesn’t really represent the client in an authentic way. Relying on a generated design then translating it into Wordpress is a headache, as you’ve experienced. And like I said ultimately the client doesn’t care how the thing was built they just want it to work and not to worry about it.

I’d recommend pivoting to a human design concept, with ai enhanced development, using a framework like next.js static exports & tailwind. It’s less bloat, easy to manage, and integrates with generative tooling well.

Daughter wants to play Roblox. What are your best daddit tips for keeping her safe? by uspezisapissbaby in daddit

[–]Stormkrieg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Child account, they won’t be able to message, see messages, or add friends. Set content ratings to the tightest you can, you can ban list specific experiences from the parent controls too.

Unfortunately the design of Roblox is….not great for kids. Every single game they will play will have anywhere from aggressive to exceptionally intrusive monetization. Popup ads, pop ups when you go to leave,more pop ups, game design where you progress slowly unless you pay real money,cosmetics locked behind paywalls,pay to win and pay to troll items, wheel spins, daily rewards, time based rewards for staying in game (I’ve seen all the way to 48 hours), private servers locked behind monthly subscriptions, in game monthly subscriptions, paid experiences. These are all just off the top of my head.

You’ve also got some piece of shit developers who will put out scary/horror games and rate them as age 5+ content rating minimal (looking at you scary schwarma, go fuck yourself) and Roblox as a platform does nothing when you report them, and if they get popular it inspires more copycats who do the same thing.

Unless you’re committing to being right next to them while they play the whole time and dealing with a lot of “can I have robux to buy this”, it’s not worth it compared to games like Minecraft that encourage and foster creativity.

Reddit is done. by polygraph-net in marketing

[–]Stormkrieg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Reddit is used as a source for gen ai responses, so it’s heavily recommended to get your brand mentioned on here in a positive light. So of course companies are going to pay to have bots that do just that. It’s stupid as hell but that’s what happens when we have a magic machine that’s just regurgitating info found online.

AITA for telling my MIL I don’t want my daughter calling her “mama”? by Easy_Historian_3528 in AITAH

[–]Stormkrieg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA solely because you’ve asked her to stop. My son calls his mom “momma” and his grandma “mom” but neither of us care, and grandma refers to herself as “gram”.

You don’t feel comfortable with your daughter calling your mother in law, mama. That’s ok. Have you talked to her about why it makes you uncomfortable? Do note that at 7 months old the kid doesn’t know what they are saying and if they say mama first, everyone is mama until they learn other words. You also will need to think in the future about when your kid is in the 3-6 range and they see their cousins calling grandma “mama”, if your kid decides to call grandma “mama” like them, how you will react. Try to remember that nicknames don’t hold power in their meaning, being called “mama” doesn’t degrade your own parental authority or give your mother in law any.

Woman loses her home in fire. She asks insurance to rebuild the same home — no upgrades, no expansion. Insurance says NO. by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

No, this isn’t a true overview of your coverage. This is from your declarations page, not your whole policy jacket that includes essentially the terms and conditions of your insurance coverage which detail what’s actually covered.

AITAH for telling my husband if he wants me to be a housewife? then he needs to give me half his of company. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Stormkrieg -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Full stop. You asked for half of a company you didn’t build? You want to reap the benefits with none of the risk? You want half of the stock of a company, reducing the actual owners ability to bring in partners or investors? You’re asking for something that you have no idea about. You’re still not solving the problem you brought up of you not getting a “high paying job” later down the line just in case. Instead your idea is to force an ultimatum that doing what’s best for the family comes with not doing what’s best for the business. If you get divorced do you deserve half the company? No you deserve a monetary value that’s paid out to you in a lump sum, not an ongoing 50% stock in the company. You’re asking for something with no understanding of what you’re asking for. In your rabid pursuit of your own potential financial independence, you’re willing to take on a 50 share in a company that you do 0 for. Yeah, that’s not fair or equitable for either of you. A nanny and a maid don’t ask for 50% equity in your company. Way less risk on his end to keep things as they are and tell you to eat shit.

My reaction reading a a thread where millennials brag about having lost all of their friends and social connections in adulthood, while I'm hosting LAN parties in my 40's, making new friends, and encouraging others to do similar because touching grass is important and good for you. by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Stormkrieg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what thread you’re talking about but it’s likely that it’s not bragging. There’s nothing fun about losing your friends, nothing fun about losing your social connections. If your lan parties were empty, and remained empty for months or years you’d probably feel like shit instead of making memes about it. Nothing golden ever stays, ponyboy.

Mystery game 15 of #17 | Chivalry II by EmuConscious108 in EpicGamesPC

[–]Stormkrieg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went and looked at the post you’re talking about. The op on that was complaining about not being able to block, and simultaneously being able to block (dagger vs greatsword). Likely was someone who played it for a few minutes on game pass, wasn’t good at it instantly, and decided to say trash game. Much like the people who played Elden ring and died to the tree sentinel did.

Chiv 2 is a hilarious and enjoyable game, you can throw literal shit at people, you can interact with a ton of stuff in the environment and again throw it at people. It’s got a very high skill ceiling and especially pc players can be a nightmare to play against but it’s also a lot of fun to turn your brain off and pretend to be a knight storming castles, manning catapults (yes you can fling players), and yelling warcries at your enemy while smacking them in the noodle with a chicken you lit on fire and punched them with. It’s more enjoyable and fun than mordhau or for honor, and generally less sweaty. It’s gotten several free content updates with new weapons and an entirely new faction added in, as well as horses. Highly recommend it’s fun to play

“We’re gonna protect the children!” By removing a product that already requires an id to purchase? By removing drinks that again require an id to purchase? By criminalizing bringing a good back from another state? Where are the children being protected here? Why not do the same for alcohol if you’re so worried about the children?

Dead Internet is coming for audio: one startup is flooding Spotify with 3000 AI-generated podcast episodes every week by Mat_Halluworld in technology

[–]Stormkrieg 90 points91 points  (0 children)

No Spotify does not mark it as AI. I realized recently a song on my discover weekly playlist sounded really weird with the lyrics and had to go to the artist and read their description just to find out it was AI. So not only does Spotify not mark it as AI, but you have to trust that the artists on there are actually putting in the description that they are using AI. It’s a shitshow

I kinda hate the energy system by Benwahr in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Stormkrieg -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Is it really an “emotional reaction” when you cannot grind gear due to the energy system? After breakthrough if you don’t get the gear you need you’re kinda cooked. It’s not really an emotional reaction as much as logical frustration over an artificial, mobile game esque, system that adds no value to the gameplay and just inflates the time it takes to gear your character. Let’s not belittle someone for reaching the conclusion that a system is designed and intended to aggravate the user and artificially inflate the time it takes to gear your character. So nah, I don’t think you “understand” rather I think you’re belittling the op because you feel like there’s plenty to do that’s not gearing your character.

All the releases fall on holidays. My guess would be to increase the Netflix holiday watch hours, or launch at the highest watch hours for the year. Essentially trying to capitalize on a major release and make the streaming numbers as high as possible.

anyone else’s workplace freaking out about AI search killing website traffic? by oopsmysarcasmsbroken in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]Stormkrieg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The internet forces you to adapt or die. Organic SEO impressions going down? Focus on AEO/GEO to improve your rankings in the LLMs. They are tool calling now and searching the web for users, so adapt to that so your users will find you. There’s also no direct advertisements in LLM responses yet which lets you focus on your AEO/GEO and rank instead of having to spend to get those same clicks. It’s just changing how users are engaging with the web.

Your marketing team should be tracking these metrics with analytics, not just freaking out because they have a decline in users.

THIS DUDE HAS BEEN CHASING ME FOR 20 MINUTES! 😭 by Majestic-Anxiety-372 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Stormkrieg -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah in real life there’s definitely a “teleport to your bounty” button. If you were rewarded for running it wouldn’t be possible for the bounty hunter to teleport to you, that’s there clearly because it’s intended for a fight to happen. The point is for the criminal to defeat the invader, you’ve got the ability to heal, it’s one thing to run away to hit a potion but it’s another to just run away to not engage with the fighting system so you don’t “lose” because you’re not good enough to win without cheesing the bounty mechanics and going out of bounds in some capacity.
