End users will continue to pay what they think domains are worth to them, and the summit isn't aimed at them anyway.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.
(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.Can someone explain to me the purpose of this Summit thing?? What benefits would I possibly get as a domain investor?
Thanks Jeff; don’t worry you have not convinced me to attend. Helmuts has removed you and put the P45 in the post.(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.

(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...

Me and Deep Joshi in the dole queue together discussing our favorite condiments. I shall look forward to that.Thanks Jeff; don’t worry you have not convinced me to attend. Helmuts has removed you and put the P45 in the post.
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.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.
That is easier said than done.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
What is easier said than done: replacing the weekly top thread manually, or replacing it with a thread of your choice?That is easier said than done.

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.

He has the ideal opportunity to create a banging new thread right now…. Successes of the SummitI 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.
Paid per post bots are still incoming.. unstoppable =)
I would be wary of those detectors, as they do have flaws. https://gizmodo.com/ai-detectors-inaccurate-freelance-writers-fired-1851529820Surely someone most know that tools like those below to detect this stuff are available and widespread now.

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