Instagram's AI Crisis Is Not an Accident

Adam Mosseri posted on Threads about Instagram's AI problems, framing them as challenges the platform is facing rather than problems it created. The distinction matters.

The Questions I'll Never See

I've been noticing some traffic on my blog from LLM based search. Small little drips of visitors from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and similar search tools. Not huge amounts, but enough to make me curious about what's actually happening. Someone out there is asking these LLMs questions, and
