Changed fonts

I thought, I liked the having serif fonts on my personal website. But I was wrong, recently, I switched back to Inter and I think the site looks so much cleaner and modern.

For now, I would be using this Inter font, until I find a good one.

Actually, I found a good one called "Helvetica Neue" (inspiration from simonwillison.net), briefly googled but couldn't find anything solid on from where and how to use it. Will look it up again.


Relief from uncertainty

Came across this screenshot that someone shared, it was a response from the newly released OpenAI's GPT-4.5, and I immediately related to it. It just felt so true.

Humans never genuinely pursue happiness; they only pursue relief from uncertainty. Happiness emerges momentarily as a byproduct whenever uncertainty briefly disappears.

I screenshotted the screenshot that you're seeing above.

How accurate!


Placehold.co is awesome

I have been using Placehold.co for a long time, and still didn't know that you can also add custom text, colors, fonts, etc. directly from the URL. For example, take a look at the below URL:

https://placehold.co/1200x630@2x/f9fafb/2563eb.png?font=playfair-display&text=DeepakNess

When you open it, you will see a retina 1200x630 image with "DeepakNess" written over it using the Playfair Display font.

How awesome!


New projects are fun

Yes, truly.

I get bored working on old projects but working on new projects is always fun. I can be occupied for days without getting tired, as I am already doing the same with a current ongoing project (Search To Be). I'm good and settled for at least a month with this project.

Been creating new posts and pages, collecting useful resources, and whatnot.

Let's see how much time before I actually get bored with this one.


Best term for AI SEO?

I came across this tweet by @levelsio and then did a Google Search to find which AI SEO related terms are actually understood by Google for what they actually is.

And it turns out:

  1. AI SEO – 19.9k monthly searches
  2. LLMO – 1.6k monthly searches
  3. LLM SEO – 230 monthly searches

All searches are according to SEMrush.

Apart from the above terms, others are not properly understood by Google. For example:

  • GEO is understood as geography-related
  • LEO as zodiac sign
  • AIO as all-in-one cooler (have no idea what it is)
  • AEO and GSO are completely different as well

So... I think AI SEO and LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization) is going to win for now.


Blog posts are sexy again

How does the AI-based search engines work?

They still rely on "content" and I think whoever has the most content in the AI-powered search era, is going to win. After all, blog posts are not outdated at all, they just became sexy once again.

I think, any new or old businesses should keep creating more and more "original" content.
