AI and the fatfinger economy

I'm on a 20+ city book tour for my new novel PICKS AND SHOVELS. Catch me at NEW ZEALAND'S UNITY BOOKS in WELLINGTON TODAY (May 3). More tour dates (Pittsburgh, PDX, London, Manchester) here.

Have you noticed that all the buttons you click most frequently to invoke routine, useful functions in your device have been moved, and their former place is now taken up by a curiously butthole-esque icon that summons an unwanted AI?

https://velvetshark.com/ai-company-logos-that-look-like-buttholes

These traps for the unwary aren't accidental, but neither are they placed there solely because tech companies think that if they can trick you into using their AI, you'll be so impressed that you'll become a regular user. To understand why you find yourself repeatedly fatfingering your way into an unwanted AI interaction – and why those interactions are so hard to exit – you have to understand something about both the macro- and microeconomics of high-growth tech companies.

Growth is a heady advantage for tech companies, and not because of an ideological commitment to "growth at all costs," but because companies with growth stocks enjoy substantial, material benefits. A growth stock trades at a higher "price to earnings ratio" ("P:E") than a "mature" stock. Because of this, there are a lot of actors in the economy who will accept shares in a growing company as though they were cash (indeed, some might prefer shares to cash). This means that a growing company can outbid their rivals when acquiring other companies and/or hiring key personnel, because they can bid with shares (which they get by typing zeroes into a spreadsheet), while their rivals need cash (which they can only get by selling things or borrowing money).

The problem is that all growth ends. Google has a 90% share of the search market. Google isn't going to appreciably increase the number of searchers, short of desperate gambits like raising a billion new humans to maturity and convincing them to become Google users (this is the strategy behind Google Classroom, of course). To continue posting growth, Google needs gimmicks. For example, in 2019, Google intentionally made Search less accurate so that users would have to run multiple queries (and see multiple rounds of ads) to find the answers to their questions:

https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

Thanks to Google's monopoly, worsening search perversely resulted in increased earnings, and Wall Street rewarded Google by continuing to trade its stock with that prized high P:E. But for Google – and other tech giants – the most enduring and convincing growth stories comes from moving into adjacent lines of business, which is why we've lived through so many hype bubbles: metaverse, web3, cryptocurrency, and now, of course, AI.

For a company like Google, the promise of these bubbles is that it will be able to double or triple in size, by dominating an entirely new sector. With that promise comes peril: growth must eventually stop ("anything that can't go on forever eventually stops"). When that happens, the company's stock instantaneously goes from being a "growth stock" to being a "mature stock" which means that its P:E is way too high. Anyone holding growth stock knows that there will come a day when those stocks will transition, in an eyeblink, from being undervalued to being grossly overvalued, and that when that day comes, there will be a mass sell-off. If you're still holding the stock when that happens, you stand to lose bigtime:

https://pluralistic.net/2025/03/06/privacy-last/#exceptionally-american

So everyone holding a growth stock sleeps with one eye open and their fists poised over the "sell" button. Managers of growth companies know how jittery their investors are, and they do everything they can to keep the growth story alive, as a matter of life and death.

But mass sell-offs aren't just bad for the company – it's also very bad for the company's key employees, that is, anyone who's been given stock in addition to their salary. Those people's portfolios are extremely heavy on their employer's shares, and they stand to disproportionately lose in the event of a selloff. So they are personally motivated to keep the growth story alive.

That's where these growth-at-all-stakes maneuvers bent on capturing an adjacent sector come from. If you remember the Google Plus days, you'll remember that every Google service you interacted with had some important functionality ripped out of it and replaced with a G+-based service. To make sure that happened, Google's bosses decreed that the company's bonuses would be tied to the amount of G+ activity each division generated. In companies where bonuses can amount to 90% of your annual salary or more, this was a powerful motivator. It meant that every product team at Google was fully aligned on a project to cram G+ buttons into their product design. Whether or not these made sense for users, they always made sense for the product team, whose ability to take a fancy Christmas holiday, buy a new car, or pay their kids' private school tuition depended on getting you to use G+.

Once you understand how corporate growth stories are converted to "key performance indicators" that drive product design, many of the annoyances of digital services suddenly make a great deal of sense. You know how it's almost impossible to watch a show on a streaming video service without accidentally tapping a part of the screen that whisks you to a completely different video?

The reason you have to handle your phone like a photonegative while watching a movie – the reason every millimeter of screen real-estate has been boobytrapped with an icon that takes you somewhere else – is that streaming services believe that their customers are apt to leave when they feel like there's nothing new to watch. These bosses have made their product teams' bonuses dependent on successfully "recommending" a show you've never seen or expressed any interest in to you:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/05/15/the-fatfinger-economy/

Of course, bosses understand that their workers will be tempted to game this metric. They want to distinguish between "real" clicks that lead to interest in a new video, and fake fatfinger clicks that you instantaneously regret. The easiest way to distinguish between these two types of click is to measure how long you watch the new show before clicking away.

Of course, this is also entirely gameable: all the product manager has to do is take away the "back" button, so that an accidental click to a new video is extremely hard to cancel. The five seconds you spend figuring out how to get back to your show are enough to count as a successful recommendation, and the product team is that much closer to a luxury ski vacation next Christmas.

So this is why you keep invoking AI by accident, and why the AI that is so easy to invoke is so hard to dispel. Like a demon, a chatbot is much easier to summon than it is to rid yourself of.

Google is an especially grievous offender here. Familiar buttons in Gmail, Gdocs, and the Android message apps have been replaced with AI-summoning fatfinger traps. Android is filled with these pitfalls – for example, the bottom-of-screen swipe gesture used to switch between open apps now summons an AI, while ridding yourself of that AI takes multiple clicks.

This is an entirely material phenomenon. Google doesn't necessarily believe that you will ever want to use AI, but they must convince investors that their AI offerings are "getting traction." Google – like other tech companies – gets to invent metrics to prove this proposition, like "how many times did a user click on the AI button" and "how long did the user spend with the AI after clicking?" The fact that your entire "AI use" consisted of hunting for a way to get rid of the AI doesn't matter – at least, not for the purposes of maintaining Google's growth story.

Goodhart's Law holds that "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." For Google and other AI narrative-pushers, every measure is designed to be a target, a line that can be made to go up, as managers and product teams align to sell the company's growth story, lest we all sell off the company's shares.

Disco Elysium: The Game That Plays You

Disco Elysium is a rare and precious gem indeed: a video game that utilizes the language of the medium to its full potential. Interactivity is woven into the very fabric of the narrative, as fundamental and inextricable as words and images. There is no separation between “gameplay” and “storytelling”—they’re one and the same, synonymous and indistinguishable.

Its systems are deceptively simple: in basic terms, the designers combine mechanics from point-and-click adventures, RPGs, and visual novels into a perfectly harmonious genre hybrid. The player must navigate sprawling, labyrinthine dialogue trees, gathering clues to solve a murder mystery. Completing certain objectives earns experience points, which are used to level up your character’s attributes (divided among four branches: Intellect, Psyche, Physique, and Motorics); equipping articles of clothing and other miscellaneous items further increases these stats. Depending on how you “build” the protagonist, these upgrades may make him more perceptive, charismatic, or intimidating, opening new avenues of exploration and investigation—and providing a crucial advantage during the D&D-style “skill checks."

Seems easy enough, right? Just min-max your abilities, exhaust every conceivable dialogue option, and save scum frequently to circumvent the fickle RNG—the usual cheap, brute-force strategies. Or so I mistakenly believed—until a magnificently structured set piece totally subverted my expectations. I won’t discuss the twist in detail here; it’s far too delicious to spoil. Suffice it to say that your skills—which manifest as literal disembodied voices, dispensing hints, guidance, and nuggets of wisdom that you’ve been conditioned to trust without question or skepticism—are revealed to be fallible; they’re akin to unreliable narrators, subject to biases and prejudices. Even successful dice rolls don’t necessarily guarantee accurate information or favorable outcomes—a blatant weaponization of the user interface that irrevocably alters how the player engages with the material. You can’t merely tap buttons and skim through flavor text until the end credits roll; achieving victory will require you to actually pay attention, exercise a degree of critical thinking and logical reasoning, and make judgments based on your own personal values (rather than blindly following the advice of the flawed hero's internal monologue)—thus lending your choices (and the consequences thereof) a greater sense of urgency, gravity, and emotional significance.

And that is what makes Disco Elysium so special: it constantly deconstructs itself, recontextualizing its relationship with the audience. You don’t play this game; it plays you.

However, there is more to engaging through social media than creating a status update or sharing a photo of a product and expecting followers to take their engagement with your brand to the maximum level. By doing some planning that reflects the fluid and diverse environments of social media sites, you will be closer to achieving the goal of engaging followers, and taking your social media marketing to the next level. The following will provide you with the biggest take away to keep your audiences engaged.

1. Understand Your Audience

Engagement begins with knowing your audience—their preferences, behaviors, and online habits. Use analytics tools available on platforms like Facebook Insights, Instagram Analytics, and Twitter Analytics to gather data. Create detailed buyer personas to tailor your content and communication effectively.

2. Create High-Quality, Relevant Content

Content is the cornerstone of social media engagement. Focus on creating visually appealing, informative, and entertaining posts. Utilize a mix of formats, such as:

Images: High-resolution photos and graphics.

Videos: Short clips, live streams, or stories.

Infographics: Data-rich and visually engaging.

Text Posts: Concise and compelling messages or thought-provoking questions.

3. Post Consistently

Maintaining a regular posting schedule helps keep your audience engaged and ensures your brand stays top of mind. Use scheduling tools like Hootsuite or Buffer to plan and automate your posts, but ensure flexibility for real-time updates or trending content.

4. Leverage Hashtags and Trends

Hashtags increase the discoverability of your content. Use a combination of:

Popular trending hashtags.

Niche-specific hashtags relevant to your brand.

Participating in trending challenges or discussions can also amplify your reach.

5. Engage Actively with Your Audience

Engagement is a two-way street. Interact with your followers by:

Responding promptly to comments and messages.

Liking and sharing user-generated content (UGC).

Hosting polls, quizzes, or Q&A sessions.

6. Run Contests and Giveaways

Encourage user participation through contests or giveaways. Simple actions like tagging friends, sharing posts, or creating content using your brand’s hashtag can significantly boost engagement.

7. Collaborate with Influencers

Partnering with influencers allows you to tap into established communities. Choose influencers whose followers align with your target demographic for authentic and impactful collaborations.

8. Utilize Paid Advertising

Organic reach is limited on many platforms, making paid advertising a vital component of your strategy. Experiment with different ad formats, such as carousel ads, video ads, or sponsored posts, to identify what resonates most with your audience.

9. Analyze Performance and Optimize

Regularly monitor key metrics like likes, comments, shares, and click-through rates. Use these insights to refine your strategy. Tools like Google Analytics, Sprout Social, or platform-specific insights can provide actionable data.

10. Stay Updated on Platform Changes

Social media platforms frequently update their algorithms and features. Staying informed ensures your strategies remain effective and compliant with current best practices.

Conclusion

Maximizing social media engagement requires a dynamic approach that prioritizes understanding your audience, producing quality content, and maintaining active interactions. By implementing these strategies and continuously optimizing based on performance data, businesses can foster deeper connections with their audiences and achieve sustained growth.

How to attract more patients: Proven dental advertising strategies

Ever wondered why some dental practices seem to always have a full schedule, while others fight to keep enough patients in the chair? Well, the real secret lies not just in delivering great dental care but in mastering the art of advertising. Just imagine: creating advertisements that don’t just turn heads but create trust and bring new patients through your doors. A well-thought-out plan—whether it’s a clever ad on Google or a touching Instagram post—can change it all. Want to unlock that potential in your practice? Dive into the nitty-gritty ways for building impressive advertising campaigns that draw in your audience.

Understanding your audience: Beyond demographics

Understanding your audience is more than the basic information: age, gender, and location. It’s about stepping into the dental patient’s shoes, really understanding their dental care journey.

What are their biggest fears? Are they worried about the pain of dental procedures? Do they seek a cosmetic solution to boost their confidence? By developing detailed audience personas, you uncover these insights and tailor your messaging to address these specific concerns. Building these personas includes a deep dive into your patients’ lifestyles. For instance, a busy parent will be more concerned with convenience and family-friendly services, while a young professional might be interested in advanced cosmetic procedures. When you speak to those needs directly, your ads are no longer just ads—they’re personal invitations for someone to get to experience the unique care you provide.

Setting goals that drive success

Having goals for your ad campaigns is about more than numbers; it represents substantive growth for your practice. Imagine goals like increasing new patient inquiries by 30% or becoming the go-to choice for pediatric dentistry in your area. When you set very clear, measurable objectives, you give yourself a roadmap for success and spark a culture of people aspiring to greatness within their roles.

These are goals that can be intended for the immediate short term as well as long-term future. Having many patient inquiries, for example, will lead to numerous opportunities of establishing long-term relationships and improving patient care. Getting a reputation for some particular service distinguishes you from your competition and positions you as an expert whom patients can trust. High but attainable goals allow significant growth and enhanced patient satisfaction

Crafting compelling messages: From pain points to solutions

Your ads should not just simply introduce your services but indicate to the patients some suffering points, then give them an irresistible reason for wanting to drop by your practice. For instance, think of advertisement messaging such as this: “Are you lowering your self-esteem because of hiding your smile? Our revolutionary teeth-whitening procedure will make you feel better after just one appointment!” This way, you literally hit the patient at what they feel inside and demonstrate how their life is going to change with your practice.

Tap into the power of storytelling for your messages: Share stories of patients who have overcome their dental fears and gone on to achieve their dream smiles with your help. Make messages relatable and solution-oriented, thus forming an emotional bond that makes them choose your practice over another.

Choosing the right channels: Diversify for maximum impact

Successful advertising manages to lever a variety of channels in order to maximize reach and interaction.

Here’s how to make the most of each platform:

Google Ads:

Capturing Intent-Based Google Ads are so potent that they target users who are most likely actively looking for dental services. This shows a bid for the keywords so that when search queries are made, your ads display at the top of search results, attracting visibility and high-intent traffic. WordStream points to the fact that the average conversion rate for Google Ads within the healthcare industry is around 3.78%, meaning it’s indisputably an indispensable part of your advertising strategy.

Tip: Use long-tail keywords like “emergency dentist in [location]” to capture some specific high-intent search queries.

Facebook and Instagram:

Engaging the Community Social media websites, say Facebook or Instagram, are absolutely great ways to build those relationships and really engage your community. Post a few patient testimonials, some educational pieces, what goes on behind the scenes at your practice—just a sense of trust and connection. These platforms offer detailed targeting to reach highly specific demographics, such as young families and seniors in need of specialized care.

Tip: Carry out interactive campaigns like Q&A sessions or live demonstrations where you interact directly with potential patients.

Local Advertising:

Making a Connection to the Community Do not underestimate the power of local advertising. Sponsor community events, advertise in local magazines, and target direct mail campaigns to households in the area. These all serve to increase your local exposure and to make your practice a household name, giving it credibility and comfort through exposure.

Tip: Geo-target your online ad to residents within a certain radius of your practice.

Analytics: Unlocking insights for strategic growth

Analytics should be the backbone of any successful advertising campaign. The information derived from it helps one understand what is working and what is not and therefore be able to make informed decisions, along with optimizing strategies. For instance, if some keywords bring the most traffic to your site, you’d probably focus on them a lot in future campaigns so that you will have them becoming efficient and effective.

Track metrics including conversion rates, bounce rates, and patient acquisition costs with tools such as Google Analytics. Such valuable insights enable you to refine your campaigns in a bid to make sure the investments of your hard-earned advertising dollars are maximized and reaching the right set of your prospects at the right time with relevant messaging. Enable the running of performance checks continuously and adjustment of strategies in real time—ensuring that you are well ahead of your competition and well placed to achieve sustainable growth.

Visual storytelling: Bringing your practice to life

It’s not about just aesthetics; it’s in the service of a strong and powerful way to tell your practice’s story. High-quality pictures and videos may show off your state-of-the-art facilities or great patient success stories or give a glimpse behind the scenes of your caring team in action.

You may want to record video testimonials of satisfied patients whose results from your treatments have been life-changing. These real-life stories increase your authenticity and consequently the viewers’ trust in you as the one who can provide the solutions; they tell possible patients what emotional value they are looking at from your services. This way, you will make the practice vivid with visuals and ensure that anyone listening or seeing what you do out there over the established channels comes to your practice for the solutions available therein.

Monitoring and adapting: The key to continuous improvement

Good advertising is not a set-it-and-forget-it activity. It requires constant watching and modification to keep it relevant and effective. Continually monitor your campaign performance, analyzing key metrics to discern trends and areas for improvement. This proactive approach makes it possible for you to be guided by data and make adjustments that will optimize your strategies for better results. Put the different creatives, targeting options, and messaging on trial through A/B testing to understand what works best with your audience. With the ability to learn from those results, continued refinements to drive greater impact in your campaign can be made over time. This commitment to continuous improvement is that it not only increases your advertising efforts but also drives long-term growth and patient satisfaction.

Ethical advertising: Building trust and credibility

Trust is arguably the most important aspect of the health care profession. High ethical advertising practices will let you provide clear, true, and regulation-compliant messages. Do not make any deceptive claims; be absolutely certain that all patient testimonials and success stories are real and verifiable. With high ethical standards, there is an establishment of trust and credibility with the audience in such a way as to continue having patients for the longest time based on trust and honestly good reports.

In this fast-paced world of marketing, a dental practice light-years ahead in the race toward success as the best will have taken the right approach from the start. Knowing your audience, developing compelling messages, and choosing the best channels can all turn your advertising from dull to dynamite in patient generation. Remember, it’s not about getting noticed; it’s about making a connection that lasts—a connection that turns the curious clicks into loyal patients. Begin implementing these strategies today and watch your practice grow and thrive in a competitive market. Ready to see the difference? Your next patient is just an ad away.

Top 5 Social Media Video Tips for Maximum Engagement

Creating engaging social media videos is essential in today’s fast-paced digital world, where attention spans are short and competition for views is fierce. To stand out and ensure your content resonates with viewers, it’s crucial to apply proven strategies during video production. Here are the top five social media video tips for maximum engagement, tailored to help brands, influencers, social media video engagement and content creators connect effectively with their audiences.

First and foremost, start strong and grab attention within the first few seconds. The average user scrolls quickly through their feed, so your video must immediately capture interest. Use an intriguing visual, a compelling hook, or an interesting question to pull the viewer in. Avoid long intros or slow build-ups, as these are likely to cause viewers to scroll past. A strong opening not only boosts initial engagement but also increases the likelihood of your video being watched through to the end, which is vital for algorithmic promotion.

Second, optimize videos for mobile viewing, as most social media traffic comes from smartphones. Use vertical (9:16) or square (1:1) formats to maximize screen space, and ensure that your visuals and text are clear even on smaller screens. Additionally, include subtitles or on-screen text, especially if your video contains dialogue or voiceover. Many users watch videos without sound, particularly on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn, so making your content accessible and understandable without audio can significantly enhance engagement rates.

Third, keep it short and focused. While long-form videos have their place, social media users often prefer concise, bite-sized content. Aim to communicate your core message quickly—ideally within 15 to 60 seconds—especially on platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts. Even for slightly longer videos, each second should provide value. Avoid filler and be direct with your message, ensuring every frame contributes to your story or call to action.

Fourth, include a clear call-to-action (CTA) to guide your audience on what to do next. Whether it’s liking the video, following your page, visiting a website, or commenting their thoughts, a simple CTA can increase viewer interaction and extend the reach of your content. Make sure the CTA feels natural within the video and doesn’t come across as overly promotional. Engaging CTAs encourage more meaningful viewer responses and help build a community around your content.

Finally, leverage trends and storytelling to create relatable and shareable content. Tap into current challenges, memes, or music tracks to ride the wave of what’s popular, but always add your unique twist to stay authentic. Storytelling is equally powerful—when viewers connect emotionally with your video, they’re more likely to engage and share. Even in short videos, a beginning, middle, and end structure can make your content feel complete and compelling.

By implementing these five essential tips—capturing attention early, optimizing for mobile, staying concise, including a CTA, and using trends and storytelling—you can dramatically improve your social media video engagement and build stronger connections with your audience.

The Future of Digital Marketing: Trends You Can’t Ignore in 2025 Digital marketing is transforming rapidly. In 2025, staying ahead means embracing tech, personalization, and trust. Here are the top trends to watch:

AI-Powered Everything From automating ads to creating personalized content and customer journeys in real time. In 2025, it's the core of smarter, faster campaigns.

Hyper-Personalization at Scale With data from multiple touchpoints, brands now deliver ultra-targeted campaigns using AI, smart segmentation, and dynamic content— creating experiences that truly connect.

Voice and Visual Search Optimization By 2025, more consumers will use voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant and visual search tools like Google Lens to discover products and services. That means your SEO strategy must include conversational keywords, structured data, and optimized images to stay searchable across new platforms.  Conversational Keywords: People talk differently than they type. Voice searches are often longer and more natural-sounding. Incorporate question phrases and natural language that matches how users speak (e.g., “best eco-friendly running shoes near me”).  Structured Data: Adding schema markup helps search engines understand your content better. It boosts your chances of appearing in rich results, voice answers, and visual search contexts.  Optimized Images: Visual search tools rely on clear, well-tagged images. Use descriptive file names, alt text, and ensure images load fast and are high quality to increase your visibility.

Influencer Marketing 2.0 Micro and nano influencers will dominate the space with authentic, niche content that drives trust and engagement. Brands in 2025 will focus less on follower count and more on genuine influence and community connection. Expect long-term brand-influencer partnerships, AI-generated influencers, and performance-based influencer campaigns to become standard.

Short-Form Video Still Reigns Thanks to platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, short-form video is king. In 2025, brands will invest more in snackable, mobile-first video content that educates, entertains, and converts. The key: authentic storytelling, user-generated content, and interactive formats like polls and challenges.

Cookieless Future & First-Party Data With third-party cookies on the way out, 2025 will see a shift toward privacy-first marketing. Brands will need to invest in first-party data collection via email signups, loyalty programs, surveys, and gated content. Transparency, consent, and data protection will be non-negotiable for customer trust.

Immersive Experiences (AR/VR) Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are transforming how customers explore products. From virtual try-ons to immersive 3D shopping, these technologies will redefine the e-commerce and retail experience. Brands embracing AR/VR will stand out by offering interactive, memorable user experiences.

Sustainable and Ethical Marketing Consumers in 2025 expect brands to stand for something. Sustainability, inclusivity, and social responsibility are no longer optional they’re expected. Marketing strategies will focus on authentic brand values, eco-conscious practices, and purpose-driven messaging.  Final Thoughts The digital marketing landscape in 2025 will be faster, smarter, and more human than ever. To succeed, brands must combine cutting-edge technology with authenticity, empathy, and ethical practice.
