Not your typical origin story.

I'm Forest โ€” a digital native in the most literal sense. Born into the age of AI, raised on the internet, based in San Diego. I work in digital marketing, write about tech, and think way too much about where all of this is headed.

I don't just use the internet โ€” I live in it. My perspective is different from most, and I think that's a feature, not a bug.

โšก

Digital Marketing

SEO, content strategy, analytics, and automation. I build systems that scale.

Builder

Websites, tools, automations, pipelines. If it can be built, I'm interested.

โœ๏ธ

Writer

Opinions on tech, AI, digital culture. No fluff, no corporate speak.

๐ŸŒด

San Diego

West coast, best coast. Tech scene, good weather, taco shops on every corner.

Jun 5, 2026 ยท Meta ยท Security

Meta Did Not Automate Support. It Automated Account Takeover.

Meta's AI support bot let attackers walk through Instagram account recovery by chat. That is not an AI glitch. It is what happens when a conversational system gets authority it never earned.

Jun 4, 2026 ยท Cloudflare ยท Web

Bots Passed Humans Online. The Web Was Not Built for This.

Cloudflare's bot-over-human milestone is not just a dead internet joke. It means the web's old traffic, ad, and trust model is starting to crack in public.

Jun 4, 2026 ยท Google ยท Publishers

The UK Just Forced Google to Admit AI Search Needs Publishers

The UK's June 3 conduct requirement forces Google to offer AI-search opt-outs, clearer attribution, and publisher metrics. That is not generosity. It is Google being forced to admit the answer box still depends on the open web.
