According to new data from ElectroIQ, 46 sports tech unicorns now carry a combined valuation … Read more
The short version Over the past few hours, I went through a portion of my website portfolio and rebuilt the parts that AI agents, not people, read. The pages look identical to those seen by a human visitor. But underneath, each site now hands an AI agent a clean, machine-readable map of what the site … Read more
For thirty years, the deal was simple. Crawlers indexed your site, search engines sent you visitors, everyone made money. That handshake is broken.

The Narendra Modi Stadium holds 132,000 people. Not 90,000 like Wembley. Not 95,000 like Camp Nou. Not the proposed 100,000 of whatever … Read more
