News you should be paying attention to

• Why Alphabet’s stock is the standout gainer on Big Tech’s monster earnings day from MarketWatch - Google can’t stop printing cash. Anyone who has ever predicted Google’s demise has been proven wrong over and over and over again. It is what it is.

• Behind the A.I. Boom, a Boring Business Is Soaring With Better Ads from the New York Times. Meta and Google are using AI to improve ad targeting. It’s helping them print cash like never before. Everyone talks about AI for creative tasks, but in my opinion the real interesting aspect is how it changes boring tasks in boring industries like this.

I couldn’t find the company behind Neutonic, but an example is Congo Brands, which makes products for Logan Paul and Mr. Beast.

• The Most Cited Domains by LLMs and the Signals That Get You Cited from Similarweb. Reddit is #2 after Wikipedia. No surprise here. Every business needs a Reddit strategy and they need it now.

That’s it.

That’s what success looks like.

The what, when, and how will vary for every person. The way you want to live is different from the way I want to live. You and I have different hobbies, different dreams, and different life experiences that lead us in different directions.

But the one thing everyone has in common is a desire to have control over their own life….
