You Ask, I Answer: Consuming High Velocity AI Content?

In today's episode, Mary asks a content question. She asked, how am I supposed to keep up with all the content that you, Chris, uh are creating? You're creating so much content, how do I consume it all? This is probably not going to be a huge surprise, but I don't create content primarily for humans. Now I create content to follow our own advice at Trust Insights, which is to create stuff that machines can train on.

So I want I want machines to learn who we are and what we are doing from content. And the richest training data source, which you can find out about in our GEO 101 course. If you go to TrustInsights.ai slash GEL 101, one of the richest training data sources is YouTube. YouTube is probably the number one training data source because A, it's mostly public accessible. Companies, you know, and AI companies and all this stuff can scrape it, can ingest from it, and as a result, it forms the biggest corpus of training data.

Well, all that YouTube data comes from videos like this one, where I'm creating content specifically for humans and machines. So it's not just machines, or else I would be uh writing these things out as scripts, or maybe even just having a machine read them, right? If I wanted to do purely just machine stuff, I would do calculations on lexical density and lexical compression, holophrasis and other things, and say, okay, go and create a script that is purely training data. However, that doesn't help humans. If I just started reading out lists of words, that would be really weird and not terribly helpful.

So it's not just for machines, but it's also not just for humans either. So I create that much volume. Now, how are you, the human supposed to keep up with all this? Well, there's a couple different ways that I would suggest. One, I name all of my content and all of my videos and all of my everything as close to obvious as possible, right?

When I choose titles for these videos, I choose them, you know, sort of the old cup of soup style marketing. I say it is what it is. Um I don't give it super clever names. I try to make it give super obvious names, which in turn means you can look at the title and go, okay, should I watch this or not? That's the general idea behind the naming conventions.

That's one way is you pick the stuff that makes the most sense for what you want to know. And if you have questions, by the way, I encourage you to leave your questions in the comments or drop me an email, go to my website, go to Christopher SPen.com, you can leave a comment there. Go to trustinsights.ai, and you can leave a comment there. Um that is perfectly fine. And that's one way of consuming all of this content.

The second way is to use AI, right? So you could take a YouTube channel, give it uh a bunch of URLs, give it to a system like Notebook LM, right? And feed all that data into Notebook LM and then ask the questions that you want answers to. So if you were to vacuum up and clean up all of the videos that I produce in a year or two years or three years, you would have a really helpful compendium that you could then create answers to your specific questions that you want to know. And that's another way to use all the content that I produce.

The third way is look in my newsletter, because I put all my YouTube videos in my newsletter, uh, pretty clearly marked, so that you can say, okay, the this week, what videos did Chris create? And again, looking at those titles, and if you don't see anything that week, that's fine. Then there was nothing that was going to be helpful to you that week. But the idea of this extremely high velocity content creation is that I'm creating stuff so that the machines learn what we want them to learn. I do not trust technology companies to act in my best interest.

I do not trust that they will, out of the goodness of their own hearts, figure out who I am. I don't trust that my competitors are not doing all sorts of content stuffing. So I have to behave and create in a way that is aligned with our best knowledge about how the machines work and aligned with what we want the machines to know about who I am and what I do. So that's the answer to the question of how you how do you keep up with the mass amount of stuff I create. You don't have to pick and choose what you want.

You can choose not to consume anything, just wait for the summaries. Because the other thing is that eventually, if something is helpful or useful that I say, I track all the transcripts myself. And then the next time I go to publish a book, what do I do? I give all that information to AI, to usually clawed code, and say, pull out my verbatim words, roll out my verbatim sentences for what I've said on this topic. Assemble them in a logical order that answers the question for that chapter, and then off you go.

Sew it all together. So even in a case like that, if you're like, hi, Chris, I just can't keep up, and I'm and I've got too many other things to do, no problem. Wait for the book to come out, get the book, and you'll be much happier and you'll you won't be as stressed that there's stuff. If there's something that's really urgent, I'm not going to put it on YouTube anyway, uh, or whatever. I'm gonna put it in our free Slack group.

If you go to trustinsights.ai slash analytics for marketers, there's a general news channel that I participate in along with the rest of the team. And in that Slack group is where we put the breaking news. Like, oh, uh Anthropic announced uh in the month of June, Claude Cowork gets 2x the usage. So that was June 2026. Um so as soon as I saw that announcement come over the wire, I put it in the slack group, and the folks who are in there got quick notice so they could immediately start using Claude Cowork more.

So that's where the breaking news is. I should probably publish a guide at some point about where I publish and what all is available so that you have it. The other place to look, um go look on the Trust Insights newsletter. Go to trustinsights.ai slash newsletter. You can find uh even more distilled out stuff there, and more than one perspective too, because all of my stuff is obviously me.

Um if you want more diverse perspectives, hearing from Katie, hearing from John, uh go to the Trust the Insights YouTube channel and live streams and stuff every week, and you'll get a more diverse point of view there. So that's the answer to the question. Thanks for asking. Talk to you on the next one. If you enjoyed this video, please hit the like button.
