Luckily those suggestions are all useful for SEO too!

Some other things to consider (from figures like Tyler Cowen[1] and Patrick McKenzie[2] who talk about how their primary audience is now LLMs):

  • Prefer short paragraphs that restate names, titles, other nouns (rather than using pronouns ("he"/"she"/"it")
    • So that LLMs can lift paragraphs wholesale, and minimises errors
  • Consider what license your writing is published under
    • A more permissive license increases the likelihood of being included in training corpuses
  • Design headlines to mirror exactly what a user's prompt might be
  • Modular layouts – Bullets, numbered lists and section headers that can be shuffled or excerpted without breaking coherence
  • Fewer unexplained metaphors, sarcasm, culture-specific humour
  • Start with a short summary / TLDR
    • The first 2-3 lines are often harvested by RAG or vertical search
    • Also if someone uses an AI to summarise your piece, this helps ensure accuracy

You don't need to listen to podcasts as soon as they come out :) 

In fact with most media, you can wait a few weeks/months and then decide whether you actually want to read/watch/listen to it, rather than just defaulting to listening to it because it is new and shiny

In fact since you like Rob Wiblin, you can go and listen to old episodes (from another podcast) that he recommends

The largest single category of entrant to the UK is a person on a work visa; in the most recent year of data available, about 450,000 work visas were issued.[3] This is closely followed by the number of people on study visas, at 415,000. Most of the study visas are for masters level courses, rather than undergraduate courses.

Despite the near endless press coverage on asylum seekers, the number of refugee/humanitarian visas granted is small by comparison.[4] Most people who move to the UK come to work or to study.[5]

 

I believe you are downplaying the dependant visa. Of the 450,000[1] work visas issued, 212,000 were main applicants and 255,000 were dependants.

(Using this source, removing the columns for 2018 and 2019)

Indeed combining Main Applicant vs Dependant for all visa categories, shows a marked rise in the proportion of dependants from 2020-2023:

    You wrote 450,000 work visas were issued in the most recent year of data available, but I got that sum looking at 2023 (and 2024 is far lower), it's possible they have updated the website since you checked it to include 2024 numbers.

To anyone skimming this, this has nothing to do with former OpenAI board member Helen Toner, but rather a paper by an unrelated person with the last name Toner-Rodgers
