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.

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.

Jul 21, 2026 ยท Kimi K3 ยท Frontier Models

Kimi K3 Did Not Beat the Frontier. It Compressed It.

Moonshot's new model is not a clean winner over GPT-5.6 Sol or Claude Fable 5. It is a pricing, openness, and capability shock that makes the frontier feel less permanent.

Jul 21, 2026 ยท Apple ยท App Store

The App Store Is Becoming SEO Spam for Phones

AI made it trivial to ship apps. That does not mean people want twice as many of them, and the App Store is starting to look like search spam with better gradients.

Jul 21, 2026 ยท YouTube ยท Creator Economy

YouTube Is Treating AI Slop Like Spam

YouTube is not banning AI. It is finally drawing a business line around mass-produced, interchangeable junk that floods the feed and weakens trust.
