March 17, 2024 How to Tell What's Real: Authenticated Channels Essential vs. AI Content, Deepfakes
Artificial intelligence can already replicate and seamlessly transform all that is digital and it's only getting better. Now and even more so in the near future, authenticated channels for all participants in the digital world will be necessary to verify what's real and what's artificial or synthetic.
Authenticated channels are especially important for digital content creators and brands so that their audience knows where to reliably get the genuine, original, and possibly human-made content.
The 5 reasons why authenticated channels are essential covered are:
0:55 Differentiate between AI Generated Content vs. Original Content
1:08 Prevent Deepfakes from being mistaken as real

March 17, 2024 Spurs Tanking Down the Stretch: Win Arc Will Fall Below Charlotte Hornets
The San Antonio Spurs have been tanking all season long, but it's becoming difficult for Gregg Popovich to hold the team back from winning games. This ramps up the tension on the tension for the Spurs as the Charlotte Hornets only have two more wins with 17 games left in the season.

March 17, 2024 Pressure on Spurs to Stop Losing on Purpose: Victor Wembanyama's Rookie Season Wasted
The mainstream sports media is saying Victor Wembanyama is putting pressure on the Spurs to force trades so they can contend right now. I think if Victor Wembanyama is applying pressure, the message is to stop with the arbitrary minutes restrictions and rest games, start playing the best players together, stop trying to lose on purpose.
Victor Wembanyama's rookie year has been wasted. Gregg Popovich never gave this team a chance to make the playoffs because the plan was to tank again.
Here is the ESPN segment where Brian Windhorst talks about Victor Wembanyama not being thrilled:

March 17, 2024 Randomness in Success: Random Ranking Factor Swings SEO Fortune for Businesses
Random ranking factor is an SEO concept whereby some websites rank better than others for no other reason than randomness. Of course, if a website organically ranks well with less effort, it's a tremendous windfall for the website owner. However, if a website ranks average or worse, it's a significant obstacle.
The term random ranking factor is coined by Terry Kyle of WPX.net hosting, hosting that I personally use and love.
Read more on random ranking factor from SEO expert Matt Diggity:

Randomness plays a large role in our lives. This is a prime example of how something as simple as how Google receives our website - outside of what optimization we do to our website - can make all the difference.

March 17, 2024 Sports Media Coverage: Silence After Kevin Garnett Said Lebron James is on Steroids
It's been 2 weeks since Kevin Garnett said that Lebron James is on steroids / PEDs. And yet the biggest sports media outlets remain mouse quiet on the topic - despite having the perfect opportunity to do so once Lebron hit 40,000 points.
It's completely reasonable to question whether Lebron using performance enhancing drugs while he is achieving records and milestones no one else has and still playing at a high level in his 21st NBA season at age 39.
Here is the timestamped clip in question from the KG Certified edition of the All the Smoke podcast:
LeBron's Future, All-Star Game Issues...
"You seen his dad? His dad on that Balco, he on that new juice…"
Who still hasn't mentioned the topic:
- ESPN
- Fox Sports
- CBS Sports
- NBC Sports
- The Athletic
- Bleacher Report
- Sports Illustrated
- Yahoo Sports
- TMZ Sports
- Bill Simmons / The Ringer
- Stephen A. Smith
- Gil's Arena

- NBA on TNT
Who has:
- Jason Whitlock
- Deadspin
- YardBarker
- BlackSportsOnline
- HoopsHype
- FoxNews
- FoxSportsRadio
- MSN
- Reddit r/BostonCeltics
Note that many other smaller websites and channels have covered the KG - Lebron Steroids story including Skap Attack.

March 17, 2024 Walmart's Jet.com Aquisition: Marc Lore Indiana Jonesed His Way to $3.3 Billion
If you read most articles on Walmart's acquisition of Jet.com for $3.3 billion, you're led to believe that the retail giant came away with a win out of their deal with Marc Lore and company. After all, Walmart.com's sales growth has grown significantly since the deal was made. But when you closely examine the details and circumstances surrounding the deal and Lore's tenure as CEO of Walmart US Ecommerce, the deal looks horrible.

February 26, 2024 How Scams Become Legitimate
Scams are highly profitable and, as they progress, seek out credibility to legitimize the operation through any number of means so that the profitable scam can continue.
Scams seek out credibility through any number of ways including: ranking high in Google (SEO), marketing, paid press and media, advertising campaigns, building connections and ties to institutions, associations, authorities, and professionals, endorsements (from influencers like celebrities and athletes) reviews and testimonials (paid or fake), philanthropy and social causes, and more. Scams desperately need credibility so they try to get it from any number of means.
Scams come in the form of investment scams, ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, products with false and deceptive claims, unethical business practices, and many multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes.

February 26, 2024 Denver Broncos - Russell Wilson Trade and Contract Extension Review
We know the Denver Broncos trade for Russell Wilson has turned out horribly, but what is it a horrible trade at the time it was made? Also, what about stacking on the massive $245 million, 5-year contract extension before the 2022 season even started?
TheFantasyFootballers.com was especially helpful in providing information and analysis on best year ranges and years of decline for quarterbacks. I used the following article to help in this discussion:
https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/articles/the-lifecycle-of-a-dynasty-quarterback-dynasty-football/
Russell Wilson trade report (Adam Schefter):
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33454258/sources-seattle-seahawks-trade-qb-russell-wilson-denver-broncos
"The Broncos have agreed to trade quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, two first-round picks (2022 -- No. 9 overall -- and 2023), two second-round picks (2022 -- No. 40 overall -- and 2023) and a 2022 fifth-round selection to the Seahawks for Wilson and a 2022 fourth-round pick, sources said."

February 26, 2024 How a Consultant Can Be the Preventative Insurance That Changes Your Life
Hiring a consultant can make all the difference in the world. One consulting session can not only prevent significant downside and but present real upside.
A consultant can act as preventative insurance which is much better than the conventional home, auto, and health insurance that we typically think of. This insurance is reactionary and only goes into effect after a bad event happens.

February 26, 2024 Watering Down the Orange Juice: The Gradual Decline in Quality of Products and Services Over Time
Consumers continually gravitate towards a preferred product or service until one day they begin to realize that product or service has fundamentally changed; the quality has degraded to such a degree that the original product or service is no longer recognizable.
This is because companies and businesses can't resist lowering quality to increase profit margins. They hope the difference isn't noticeable, but as the quality continues to go downhill, more and more consumers become aware that the product or service is not as good and adjust their buying habits.
