The Quiet Before the Storm: What We Saw in Silicon Valley Right Before AI Changed Everything (And Nobody Believed Us)

Implementing a dynamic OGP image generator for our blog — PHP GD, per-post 1200 630 cards

One day on our English X account, I posted a link to a fresh blog article and froze when the OGP card rendered: the image was the LP sales banner — "Stop babysitting updates. Start scaling maintenance revenue." — not anything related to the post itself. Going back through the last seven announcement posts, every single one was showing the same LP sales banner. Articles written as technical engineering deep-dives had been quietly flowing through the X timeline for months looking like sales...
