I'm impressed with the number of speakers he has secured to speak. It would be amazing if it helped increase the profile/value and demand of uk domains.

But conversely, the risk is .... a badly attended event could have a negative overall impact.

I'm hoping those going have some positive news to share when they report back here.

End users will continue to pay what they think domains are worth to them, and the summit isn't aimed at them anyway.

Reseller prices will continue to reflect what resellers think an end user might pay at some time in the future.

Bottom line: However well or badly attended it is, I don't see the summit making the slightest difference to domain prices one way or the other.
 
Can someone explain to me the purpose of this Summit thing?? What benefits would I possibly get as a domain investor?

(1) Putting faces to names of other domain investors and enabling you to get to know them better, which may lead to an increase in trade between you. This would increase liquidity in the reseller market (which is good), but I doubt it would have any effect on prices.

(2) Some of the exhibitors might also have summit-only deals, although I haven't seen any evidence of this.

By selling the potential benefits, I seem to have become Helmuts' new employee! I'll have to change my name to Deep Jeff...

Thanks Jeff; don’t worry you have not convinced me to attend. Helmuts has removed you and put the P45 in the post.

There are some great speakers, although few that bring genuine insight into the .uk market.

It's just a shame that so many UK domainers are not going to be there.

Interestingly, the Deep Joshi thread was the weekly top thread on Acorn, but I see it has been manually removed and replaced by a random one from 2010.

Shame that the announcement wasn't also made on newcorn about the UK backorder updates. Or haven't seen it anyway.

Looks good anyway 👍

Me and Deep Joshi in the dole queue together discussing our favorite condiments. I shall look forward to that.

I pointed out that it was the weekly top thread here, but I hadn't noticed its replacement with a two-post thread from 2010.

I can understand why he doesn't want to advertise a thread that puts him to shame, but you'd have thought he would have chosen a current and plausible thread to replace it with, so it would look like the XenForo algorithm had done it.

That is easier said than done.

What is easier said than done: replacing the weekly top thread manually, or replacing it with a thread of your choice?

Either way, I haven't used the software so I can't comment, but there's clearly something going on when a closed two-post thread from 14 years ago shows as the weekly top thread.

I saved the evidence to the Wayback Machine yesterday:

I think Cav meant it's easier said than done, perhaps with an air of jest, because there isn't any real "current and plausible" threads.

He has the ideal opportunity to create a banging new thread right now…. Successes of the Summit

Surely someone most know that tools like those below to detect this stuff are available and widespread now.

I would be wary of those detectors, as they do have flaws. https://gizmodo.com/ai-detectors-inaccurate-freelance-writers-fired-1851529820

With the openai now shut detector saying "Our classifier is not fully reliable. In our evaluations on a “challenge set” of English texts, our classifier correctly identifies 26% of AI-written text (true positives) as “likely AI-written,” while incorrectly labeling human-written text as AI-written 9% of the time (false positives).

Good point. I know Google say they are struggling with it.

I always worry about writing articles for my site and running them through ChatGPT to tidy the grammar up, I'm often concerned Google will spot the corrections and then burn the whole article and maybe even site.

Ironically, if AI breaks Google, it could be back to the old typing into the address bar thingy again and short domain names (especially .uk) will sky rocket in value.

Optimistic? 😂 😂

I don't think you need a detector to see that the text is AI generated ;) Nobody would join a forum and post that as their first post. It has clearly been generated by AI as a response to the OP. Pay peanuts...
