Gary VaynerchukHOST
... and like read comments on WordPress to figure out what the fuck the world thought.
Gary VaynerchukHOST
Then Twitter came along.
Gary VaynerchukHOST
I'm like, "This..." I mean, people thought Twitter was the du- Well, I invested in Twitter in 2006 or '07, and like everyone made fun of me to invest in it because everyone's like, "So let me get this straight." I know this might be hard on, if you're under 25 in here, but this was literally the conversation.
Ryan CastilloGUEST
Here's a firewall for Rails.
Ryan CastilloGUEST
Here's a firewall for WordPress and all this other stuff.
Ryan CastilloGUEST
But the coding just wasn't great at the time.
Ryan CastilloGUEST
And...
23 MINS LATER
Ryan CastilloGUEST
Yeah.
Ryan CastilloGUEST
So what we did before is we had some agents actually generate blog posts and stuff like that.
Ryan CastilloGUEST
So we have customers that have some of our agents connected to their WordPress instance and they're pushing out code.
Ryan CastilloGUEST
That to me...
Dan KoeHOST
And then you go through, and you do the minor details.
Dan KoeHOST
So telling AI to create a website or write a newsletter or write a tweet today is exactly like just downloading a WordPress template in the past.
Dan KoeHOST
People can tell because it's not a good effort, and there was just as much slop a few years ago as there is today.
Dan KoeHOST
But AI is just some special case that people really dislike.
Dan KoeHOST
So you can stop there and have a pretty terrible website that doesn't make your brand unique in the slightest, or you can use that as a starting point to iterate from, just like you can build an app, but then you have to resolve issues and bug fixes until it's actually a good app.
Dan KoeHOST
Now, the baseline for what is considered this modern WordPress template or slop will continue to rise, forcing people to develop more taste and experience if they actually want to stand out.
Dan KoeHOST
And this is part of why my opinion around writing with AI is changing because if you treated it like you did when you actually sit down to write, you'd realize that you'd have more control, more creativity, more opportunity if you used AI.
Dan KoeHOST
But what people do is they say, "Hey, write this newsletter for me," and when it's not good, they just consider it slop.
Julian GoldieHOST
You can go inside the section, and then if you wanted to draft content for, let's say, for example, this topic right here, we can just click the draft this section.
Julian GoldieHOST
So we can click on draft this, or we can actually click on publish to WordPress, Either way, we can publish directly to our websites for SEO content, or we can draft content for social media.
Julian GoldieHOST
You can see, for example, here that it's written the post, and then we can post that on, for example, Twitter or wherever else we want to post, X, whatever you want to call it.
Julian GoldieHOST
So you can see here that it's created the post on this trending topic.
Mark WebsterHOST
You know, you have to...
Mark WebsterHOST
It's like, for anyone listening on the audio version, it's like Elementor or, you know, one of those old school WordPress builders that you had to kind of move stuff around, duplicate it and edit all this stuff in the sidebar.
Mark WebsterHOST
And I just could not be bothered, like, faffing around with that, basically.
Mark WebsterHOST
So I was like...
Justin EllenGUEST
Whoever comes up, that's what I'm going on.
Justin EllenGUEST
And I'm like, okay, their blogs on WordPress or whatever platform, typically WordPress.
Justin EllenGUEST
I was like, why is every blog on WordPress? Now I gotta like, mine's on Squarespace.
Justin EllenGUEST
I must be doing something wrong.
Justin EllenGUEST
So I'm researching, okay, why is everyone on WordPress? Oh, it's easier for ads or oh, it's easier to customize.
Justin EllenGUEST
And now I'm like, I got to make this shift.
Justin EllenGUEST
And it happened pretty quickly as soon as I learned that, which is where we are today.
Remkus de VriesHOST
Welcome to Within WordPress, the podcast about WordPress and all things around WordPress.
Remkus de VriesHOST
With me today is Alex.
Remkus de VriesHOST
Alex, welcome to the show.
Alex MossGUEST
Hi, I'm Alex Moss.
Alex MossGUEST
I am from Manchester in the UK.
Alex MossGUEST
I have been working in SEO and WordPress for a very long time.
Alex MossGUEST
SEO more so, been doing that since about 2000, 1999, something like that.
Alex MossGUEST
I've been working with WordPress since about, 2011, 12.
speaker_1HOST
And they did it by integrating AI across their entire operational lifecycle.
speaker_0HOST
The report states they used AI to discover a completely novel race condition vulnerability in the WordPress reinstallation process.
speaker_0HOST
I want to pause and define this because race conditions are notoriously difficult to find.
speaker_0HOST
At a software level, what exactly is a race condition?
speaker_1HOST
They both see $100, they both approve the withdrawal, and then they both deduct it.
speaker_1HOST
The system logic breaks down because of concurrent execution, and you walk away with $200 from a $100 account.
speaker_0HOST
Finding a flaw like that in a massive, complex code base like WordPress requires incredibly deep understanding of how the application handles concurrent database queries.
speaker_1HOST
Finding a novel race condition and then writing a stable working exploit for it used to require a dedicated team of elite vulnerability researchers staring at code for months.
Jake WilliamsHOST
um yeah totally One other thing I wanted to, you know, like double click on and ask here, right? Like Papercut is just, you know, the Papercut server, like really it's just exposing an API to the internet.
Jake WilliamsHOST
How much different is that than like, you know, your public website with a CMS? I think like WordPress, right? And you're going to use WordPress as an example? Well, I am.
Jake WilliamsHOST
WordPress itself, WordPress core.
Jake WilliamsHOST
WordPress core is, is when you hear about WordPress issues
Jess HebenstreitHOST
in the last decade,
Jake WilliamsHOST
it's not WordPress.
Jake WilliamsHOST
It's generally not WordPress core.
Jake WilliamsHOST
It's, it's some janky plugin, right.
Scott HochGUEST
They also communicate and reach out over email.
Scott HochGUEST
And, and most critically, um, because we have so much of that automatic and WordPress in our bones, we also offer identity gated self-service web forms for people to fill these things out.
Scott HochGUEST
So we do use AI, but we are not AI maximalists.
Scott HochGUEST
If you don't want to talk to anybody, if the way to get you to enroll is to get a form that you can fill out without having a chat with anybody.
