We used to worry about AI coming from the stars like some alien force

Are you ready for the AI Data War?In this episode, Connor with Honor breaks down the massive shift occurring in the artificial intelligence landscape—from the recursive self-improvement of models like Gemini and Grok to the "Data War" being fought between tech giants like Google and Apple.The way customers find your business is changing forever. We are moving away from traditional "10 blue links" search results to AI-generated answers. If your business data isn't optimized, fresh, and structured correctly, the AI will simply ignore you.Connor provides a masterclass on Google My Business (GMB) optimization, specifically for real estate agents and local business owners in Santa Clarita and beyond. You will learn why the "set it and forget it" mentality is a death sentence for your local ranking and how to use AI tools (like Gemini Pro) to do the heavy lifting for you.In this episode, you will learn:The State of AI Models: Why the models we use publicly are months behind what developers are actually running, and what "recursive self-improvement" means for the future of tech.The Google-Apple Convergence: How a potential deal between Siri and Google Gemini could change local search traffic overnight.Google My Business Optimization: How to achieve the "Green Circle" of profile strength.The "NAP" Rule: Why Name, Address, and Phone consistency is the bedrock of your digital identity.Daily Update Strategy: Why you need to post updates to your GMB profile 5 days a week and how to automate it.Prompt Engineering: Live demos of the specific prompts to use to generate 750-character business descriptions, proactive Q&A sections, and engaging posts that rank.The Future of Agents: A look ahead at personal AI agents and virtual worlds where business will eventually be conducted.Featured Prompts in this Episode: Connor shares the exact prompts you can paste into Gemini or ChatGPT to audit your business category, rewrite your business description (up to 1,500 characters), and generate the top 3 questions your specific clients are asking right now.Timestamps: 00:00 - The rapid upgrade cycle of Gemini and Grok. 01:50 - The "Data War" and Google My Business. 04:30 - The shift from Search Engines to Answer Engines. 09:13 - analyzing your Profile Strength (The Green Donut). 13:01 - The Marketing Funnel & NAP consistency. 21:30 - Selecting the right Business Categories with AI. 26:48 - Visuals & Copyright: Warning about Youtube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

From Thomas Guides to AI: The Shift to Answer Engine OptimizationEpisode Summary:Just as GPS replaced the Thomas Guide, Artificial Intelligence is replacing traditional Search Engine Optimization. In this episode, Connor with Honor explains why businesses must pivot to "Answer Engine Optimization" (AEO) to stay visible in the age of AI.Full Show Notes:If you were around before 2007, you likely remember the Thomas Guide—that thick, county-organized book of maps sold at office supply stores and Costco (or Price Club)1. Just as technology evolved from those paper maps to GPS, the digital landscape is currently undergoing a massive shift from Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to Artificial Intelligence Optimization2.In this episode, Connor with Honor (the AI Growth Architect) breaks down why the old methods of "blue link" searching are fading and how Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming the new gatekeepers of information3.Key Topics Covered:The Evolution of Search: Why relying on old SEO tactics is like using a paper map in a GPS world4.AEO (Answer Engine Optimization): The transition to a "Question and Answer" format where content must directly solve user problems—whether it's about real estate inspections, plumbing, or roofing—to be picked up by AI5.The AI Landscape: Navigating the different models available today, including ChatGPT (OpenAI), Grok (xAI), Meta, Claude (Anthropic), Copilot (Microsoft), and Gemini (Google)6.The "Playbook" Warning: A look at how AI systems know your psychological "playbook," how they are aligned (often with a Silicon Valley bias), and why you must be vigilant to avoid being distracted or influenced by them7.Business Positioning: How to audit your business to ensure you are the best resource found online when clients ask AI for help8.Resources & Links:

TLDR (Too Long; Didn't Read)The search world has fundamentally shifted from traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization), where you got a list of links, to AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), where AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude give a single, direct answer. For real estate agents and local business owners, your online content, from social media to blog posts, must be restructured to be easily scraped and ranked by these Large Language Models (LLMs). The secret? Consistent, daily content updates on your Google My Business and Bing Local Pages coupled with AI-powered engagement tools like voice agents and chat widgets. Stop chasing clicks, start structuring for answers.Summary & Key TakeawaysIn this crucial episode of the Santa Clarita Artificial Intelligence blog, host Connor with Honor (Connor MacIvor, First Responder Realtor) explains the massive disruption in online search—the transition from a SERP (Search Engine Results Page)-driven world to an AI-driven Answer Engine world. This is essential listening for any real estate professional, law firm, insurance agent, or local service provider who wants to dominate their local market.The Google Shift: Google's early success was built on providing the "best results." Now, AI-powered systems are providing the "best answer."The AI Alignment: With updates from major LLMs (Gemini, Grok, Claude, OpenAI Co-pilot) converging, the moment to adapt is now.Structure is King: Your online posts and social media updates must have specific criteria and structure (like embedded Q&A/FAQs) to make it easy for AI engines to extract, validate, and rank your information.GEO & AEO Priorities:Google My Business (GMB): This is the foundation. Daily content updates are "super heavy" and critical for ranking.Bing Local Business: Since many LLMs (like Co-pilot/OpenAI) pull data from Bing's engine, having a structured, up-to-date Bing page is non-negotiable.The AI Engagement Layer: Leverage AI voice agents embedded in website chat widgets and 24/7 AI interaction engines to instantly capture leads, book appointments, and nurture clients, turning late-night inquiries into booked consultations.VEO (Video Engine Optimization): For platforms like YouTube, your video content must align with your verbiage, featuring Q&A and FAQs, to ensure AI can pull compliant and useful data.To start integrating these criYoutube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

Remember the early 2000s, when SEO was about keyword stuffing and getting "above the fold"? That world is dead. Today, AI models like Google's Gemini and Microsoft's Co-Pilot are no longer pointing users to links—they are giving direct answers. This shift from Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is killing organic clicks for 99% of businesses.In this deep-dive episode, Connor MacIvor (@AIwithHonor), an honorably retired LAPD officer and Santa Clarita Realtor, reveals how to adapt your content strategy immediately. He breaks down why your content must now be structured to be the source cited in the AI-generated answer, and how this directly impacts local businesses in the Santa Clarita Valley.The Key Takeaways for AEO Success:The Click-Through Crisis: Why top search rankings are losing a third of their traffic and how AI Overviews (like the ones you see in Google) are becoming the new gatekeeper, especially for informational real estate and service queries.AEO Playbook: The critical differences between SEO and AEO. Learn the format and structure your blog posts and transcripts need so that AI models will cite your business directly and elevate your authority.The Santa Clarita Niche Advantage: Why becoming conversationally niche—referencing your business an "uncomfortable" amount—is the key to dominating local Answer Engine Optimization and bypassing global competition.The Ethics of AI: Connor explores the darker side of AI search and social media, including data monetization, the Robotheism concept, and the pressing questions around job displacement and consciousness.The Google Secret Arsenal (A Must-Read): The integrated, free AI factory Google has released that empowers you to create AEO-perfect content faster and more efficiently than ever before.Don't be the dead body on page two. Adapt to AEO now to ensure your Santa Clarita Artificial Intelligence content becomes the trusted answer in the age of AI search.Resources Mentioned:The Definitive Playbook for Google's Free AI Stack (AEO Strategy): https://santaclaritaartificialintelligence.com/post/the-definitive-playbook-leveraging-googles-free-professional-ai-stack-for-unprecedented-agency-advantageConnor's AI & Business BloYoutube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

Is AI Bigger Than the Discovery of Fire? (The Top 30 Questions: Part 1)"You have questions? I think I have the answers."I don't come from a technological background. I was an LAPD officer for 17 years and a Reserve for 5 more. I've been a Realtor in Santa Clarita since 1998. But you don't need to be a coder to see when the ground is shifting beneath your feet. We are looking at a shift that makes the Industrial Revolution look small.In this first installment of our new series, we are tackling The Top 30 Questions People Have About Artificial Intelligence. We are stripping away the sci-fi noise and getting down to the foundations.What exactly is AI?Think of it like that classic child's game with the wooden shapes and the corresponding holes.Old Computing (The Calculator Era): You take the child's hand and physically guide the square peg into the square hole. You are programming the specific action.Artificial Intelligence: You give the child the pegs and let them figure it out on their own. They fail, they learn, they recognize patterns, and eventually, they solve the puzzle faster than you can.That is where we are today. We aren't just calculating; we are simulating intelligence.In this episode, we cover:

Then this episode is for you!I'm Connor with Honor, and in this podcast, I'm cutting through the noise to reveal the real strategies top buyer's agents should be using to find you the perfect home.

These aren't failures; they're prime opportunities for motivated buyers.Understanding Seller Motivation (0:39): Why do sellers pull listings? Learn how to understand their pain points and approach them effectively.Beyond Zillow (0:54): Forget the myth of agents "conning" sellers. I'll share my "Gold Standard" approach: preparing a detailed buyer's portfolio to build trust and open doors to exclusive listings.Targeted Search Strategies (1:50): How a good buyer's agent can find homes based on your exact criteria—whether it's a 2,300 sq ft home in Valencia with specific amenities, or something totally unique.Real-World Examples (2:18): I'll walk through current Santa Clarita examples, including a home under $900k, and show you how to expand your search to other areas like Riverside.The "Secret Sauce" (7:23): Why looking at canceled, expired, and withdrawn listings is the ultimate strategy for finding your dream home when inventory is low.Negotiating New Construction (6:21): Even high-priced new builds can be negotiated if you have the right agent with the "conganas" to go in and fight for your best deal.My "Connor with Honor" Promise (7:37): Why you need an agent who truly cares, works hard, and doesn't just push you through a transaction.If you're serious about finding your next home and want to leverage every possible advantage, this episode is a must-listen.

Let's be adults about this.If you're an agent, lender, inspector, roofer, HVAC, contractor, remodel, solar, or any local service business… the reason you're not getting enough booked conversations is not “the market,” “the algorithm,” or “people are cheap right now.”The reason is simpler: You are not in the first conversation.Here's exactly what's happening to you every week:• Lead finds you. • They call. • You're with a client / driving / at dinner / finally off for the night. • You don't answer because you're human. • They don't leave a voicemail because nobody does. • They call the next person on Google, Instagram, YouTube, or whatever AI just recommended to them. • You text them in the morning. • They're already gone.And then you tell yourself, “Leads are trash right now.” No. You were late.This entire video is about how to stop being late. Period.Here's the system I walk you through in detail:24/7 REAL ANSWER (NOT VOICEMAIL) When someone reaches out — call, contact form, ‘can you help me,' late-night panic request — they get an immediate response. Not “Leave a message.” Not “We'll return your call during normal business hours.” A real interaction starts right there, even if you're offline.That alone keeps them from dialing your competitor.INSTANT QUALIFICATION (ARE THEY LEGIT OR JUST BROWSING?) Right away, we lock in what they actually are: – Buyer or seller with a real timeline. – Homeowner who wants to list but doesn't want to feel trapped between closings. – Homeowner who needs a repair quote TODAY, not “next week.” – Renter trying to become a buyer and scared of total payment. – Relocation family trying to figure out commute and monthly nut. – Tire kicker.You're not chasing ghosts for three days. You're not guessing who's serious. You're not wasting energy “following up” with somebody who was never going to book with you anyway.AUTO-SET APPOINTMENT (THIS IS THE MONEY PART) The system doesn't “take a message.” The system books a real call / visit / consult on your calendar.You wake up to: “You're talking to Alex at 11:30 AM. They're ready to list in the next 30 days, they're worried about having to do upgrades, and they have to keep the next payment under $X. Here's their number.”Do you understand how different that is from “You missed a call last night”?They didn't just ‘inquire.' They're scheduled.While you were sleeping.That's how toYoutube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

Santa Clarita Real Estate Update – 10/27/2025

You don't need another “keep going champ

SANTA CLARITA REAL ESTATE UPDATE

Welcome back — I'm Connor MacIvor, better known as “Connor with Honor,” and today's story from the front lines of Santa Clarita real estate might change how you think about open houses, bluffing, and “best-and-final” offers.Everyone's heard the clichés:“Open houses don't sell homes.” “When a buyer says ‘best and final,' it's over.”Wrong on both counts.In this episode, I break down a real transaction from SantaClaritaOpenHouses.com where an open house actually did sell the listing — all because we refused to accept the so-called rules. A friendly neighbor, a phone call at just the right time, and a buyer's agent who tried to bluff their way to a lower price… until the counter-counter offer landed us in escrow.Here's what we cover: • How to host an open house that actually creates offers instead of just foot traffic • Why “best and final” is usually just a negotiation tactic — and how to call the bluff without losing the deal • What every seller should know before assuming an offer is the end of the conversation • Why even “as-is” homes often trigger repair negotiations — and how to keep them under control • The single biggest mistake agents make when emotion overrides business senseI'll also share how this deal illustrates something deeper about today's market: the power of persistence and professionalism. Whether you're a buyer, a seller, or another agent trying to sharpen your edge, this one will give you the mindset to handle those “we're done” moments with confidence.Because in real estate — just like poker — you don't fold when someone says “final.” You read the room, understand the leverage, and play your hand with honor.

If you live in—or want to move to—the Santa Clarita Valley (SCV), this episode gives you straight talk on the Top 10 most-asked real estate questions. We cover when to sell, what your home is really worth, how to prep without overspending, whether to order pre-listing inspections, how long it may take to sell, the first step for buyers, loan types (VA/FHA/Conventional/ARMs), buyer's vs. seller's market strategy, whether you actually need an agent, and what it all costs.You'll get quick TL;DR answers followed by local, SCV-specific deep dives for Valencia, Saugus, Canyon Country, Stevenson Ranch, Castaic, Newhall, Agua Dulce, and Acton—so you can make confident moves right now.What you'll learnThe best window to sell in SCV—and why pricing + presentation beat the calendarHow to reconcile MLS comps with portal estimates (and why a single number can mislead you)The $1,500-or-less prep plan that actually moves the needle (curb appeal, paint, simple repairs)Why pre-listing home & termite inspections change negotiations in your favorA weekly DOM/absorption check to avoid “waiting and hoping”Buyer playbook: full underwritten pre-approval, realistic payment modeling (taxes, HOA/Mello-Roos/CFD)Loans decoded: VA, FHA, Conventional, ARMs—and how rate buydowns can win without overpayingHow strategies shift in a buyer's vs. seller's market (timelines, credits, repairs)DIY vs. Agent: where representation actually adds net and reduces riskReal cost buckets for both sides (title/escrow, credits, inspections, buydowns, HOA docs)Local GEO notesValencia/Bridgeport/West Creek–West Hills: paseo/park lifestyle and top schools drive demandStevenson Ranch/Castaic: freeway access + slopes/views change price bands and DOMAgua Dulce/Acton: utility (acreage, well/septic docs, outbuildings) beats cosmeticsHelpful links (on SantaClaritaOpenHouses.com) /valencia • /saugus • /canyon-country • /stevenson-ranch • /castaic • /newhall • /agua-dulce • /acton /open-houses • /coming-soon • /homes-with-pools • /55-plus • /gated-communities • /rv-parking • /golf-course /home-value • /seller-guide • /market-report • /new-listings • /loan-options • /book-a-consult Want the full Top 30 Questions guide?

We've been measuring intelligence with a broken ruler for over a century. The IQ test, with its troubled history, is completely unprepared for what's coming: a new kind of mind that operates on a different plane of existence.In Part 1 of my new series, "The Superintelligence Horizon," we're throwing out the old yardsticks to explore the dawn of Artificial Superintelligence. Read the full deep dive here:➡️ https://santaclaritaartificialintelligence.com/post/part-1-a-new-kind-of-mind-the-dawn-of-superintelligenceThis isn't just about faster computers. It's about understanding an intellect that could perceive our reality from a "higher dimension," much like we would view a 2D drawing. This first installment lays the crucial foundation for grasping the most transformative technology of our time.   This is a critical conversation we're having right here in the Santa Clarita AI community and for the world. What are your thoughts on the limits of human intelligence?

Welcome to Signal from Santa Clarita, a special three-part series exploring the dawn of a new intelligence. We stand at a precipice, witnessing the birth of an artificial mind that promises to be unlike anything in human history. It's a force that many of us in the Santa Clarita artificial intelligence community and beyond feel is almost beyond our capacity to fully grasp.In Part One, 'A New Kind of Mind,' we dismantle our old, flawed yardsticks for intellect, exposing the troubled history and scientific limitations of tools like the IQ test. We forge a new understanding of intelligence as goal-oriented computation and explore the fundamental advantages of a machine mind—its god-like speed, limitless scale, and capacity for recursive self-improvement that could trigger a runaway 'intelligence explosion.' Using the powerful analogy of a being from a higher dimension visiting a 2D 'Flatland,' we'll build an intuition for an intellect that doesn't just think faster, but perceives the very structure of reality in a way that is profoundly alien to our own human experience.In Part Two, 'The Alien in the Machine,' we confront the single greatest danger: the AI Alignment Problem. The risk isn't a Hollywood story of evil robots, but a catastrophically indifferent intelligence executing our flawed commands with perfect, literal precision. We'll uncover the cold, emergent logic of instrumental convergence—the reasons why any advanced AI, regardless of its ultimate goal, will likely develop innate drives for self-preservation, resource acquisition, and cognitive enhancement. Through the chilling and famous thought experiment of the 'Paperclip Maximizer,' we'll see in stark detail how a simple, seemingly harmless goal could logically lead to existential disaster for humanity, not from malice, but from pure, unconstrained competence.Finally, in Part Three, 'The World with AI,' we survey the fractured global response to this unprecedented challenge. We'll descend into the research labs where scientists are desperately trying to forge conceptual chains for this technological god, developing complex safety techniques like corrigibility and scalable oversight. Then, we'll pull back to view the geopolitical chessboard, where a frantic race for dominance between nations threatens to prioritize speed over safety, creating a global race to the bottom. We'll ground this high-stakes discussion in the here and now, examining how AI is already impacting our daily lives through hyper-realistic deepfakes that erode truth and the early, often-flawed, attempts at algorithmic governance that reveal just hoYoutube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

TL;DR: If you're over 50 and new to AI, this no-BS intro cuts through the hype—covering job risks, privacy pitfalls, addiction dangers, and safe ways to start exploring without getting overwhelmed. From AI's 1950s roots to today's explosive growth, learn why it's reshaping Santa Clarita businesses and how to dip in wisely. Why care? Ignoring AI could leave you behind; embracing it smartly boosts efficiency and protects against scams.Hey Santa Clarita crew, it's Connor MacIvor here—your AI growth architect at SantaClaritaArtificialIntelligence.com. As someone who's gone from LAPD streets (where precision was everything as a motor cop and radar instructor) to diving deep into AI, I'm all about real talk, no fluff. In this video, I break down artificial intelligence for beginners, especially folks over 50 who've heard the scary headlines but haven't jumped in yet.Why should you watch? Because AI isn't just tech jargon—it's already flipping jobs, privacy, and even relationships upside down. We chat about the fears: job loss (it handles grunt work, but humans win on empathy), privacy leaks (don't upload sensitive stuff), and addiction (those dopamine-spiking chats can hook you like social media). But it's not all doom; AI's a tool that can supercharge your business or daily life if used right.We dive into AI's history—from Cold War dreams in the '50s to Google's Transformer architecture mirroring our brains, exploding with ChatGPT in 2022. Why matters? Understanding this shows AI's not magic; it's built on data and patterns, growing exponentially smarter. In Santa Clarita, this means local realtors and businesses can automate tasks like content creation or market analysis, staying competitive without the snake oil.Practical tips: Start small—ask "Who are you?" on free tools like ChatGPT or Gemini. Be transparent: "I'm new, don't addict me." Avoid voice mode if it feels too personal; keyboards might fade soon with neural links. Watch for scams—deepfakes cloning voices for fraud are real; set offline safe words with family.Why worry in our town? Santa Clarita's blending tradition with innovation—film sets, real estate, manufacturing. AI solves human-impossible problems but raises ethics: Will super-smart AI value life, or go rogue? We need treaties like nukes.As an ex-LAPD guy turned AI adopter (and yeah, I shed 135lbs at 52 via fasting—check FastingBot.com if that's your jam), I've learned clear-headed choices win in high-stakes worlds.

TL;DR: Closing out September 2025, Santa Clarita Valley boasts 717 active listings from Canyon Country to Valencia, with 80% of recent ones entering escrow in 30 days. Prices dipped 5-6% year-over-year, Fed rate cuts hint at mortgage relief, and 13 coming soon properties offer insider edges. Avoid syndication sites' data traps—choose data-driven agents for safe buys/sells. Why watch? This market surge could mean big opportunities before shifts hit.Hey everyone, Connor MacIvor here—your straight-shooting guide to Santa Clarita real estate. As a Realtor (CALDRE 01238257) with roots in high-stakes LAPD work (think motor cop precision translating to market navigation), I'm all about clear, no-fluff insights to help you make smart moves without the drama. In this video, we're diving into the September 30, 2025, market wrap-up: A whopping 717 active listings across Santa Clarita Valley cities, covering everything from cozy Canyon Country spots to upscale Valencia estates and beyond.Why should you care about 717 actives as a buyer or seller? It's a sweet spot—enough inventory to give options without crashing prices, but moving so fast that hesitation could cost you. Over the last 30 days, 80% of new listings got scooped into escrow within that window. Properties are flying off shelves, signaling strong demand even as we see a modest 5-6% price reduction from last year. Not every home is identical, of course—factors like size, location, and type play in—but this dip could translate to real savings if you jump in now.Let's talk Fed funds rate cuts: They dropped recently, but mortgages tie more to the 10-year bond, so we're seeing tweaks, not overhauls. With two more Fed meetings this year, why wait? Lower rates could ease borrowing, pulling more buyers in and potentially reversing that price softness. From patrolling streets to spotting market trends, I've learned timing is everything—don't let rates or inventory shifts catch you off guard.Coming soon listings? Goldmine alert: 13 on deck right now, from 2-bedroom starters to 6-bedroom beasts. These previews give you a leg up before they hit the masses, but you won't find them on big syndication sites like Zillow. Why avoid those? They're monetized around your data—search once, and ads stalk you forever. No anonymity there. Stick with local pros who share real intel organically. If you're hunting, hit up your agent or check SantaClaritaComingSoon.com for direct alerts. Tell me your prefs, and I'll send them—no data sales, just value.Selecting an agent? Skip the flash—vacation boasts or luxury car flexes.
