Can’t talk about DEEPSEEK AI

Be Careful About DeepSeek AI

WHAT IS THIS DEEPSEEK AI?

People (and gurus) are talking about the new “FREE” Deepseek AI made by China.
It’s supposed to be “better” than chatgpt.

However, “better” –here means better for developers (perhaps not you) and better for those who train AI models. (perhaps again not you).

SO WHAT’S NEW FOR YOU?
The “new” thing about DeepSeek is that it explains (somewhat) how it came to an answer. This is already done by CoPilot and Perplexity (w/c uses Chatgpt) -by giving you footnotes.
DeepSeek AI shows you these references –before you see the actual answer. So it has “headnotes” vs footnotes?

REASONING?
When it comes to problem solving, it can tell you how it solved something. This is again not new because if you ask Chatgpt to explain, it will do that. DeepSeek just explains it w/o being asked. See image below. For me, it is not that important to see this breakdown. It is important only for researchers and devs to see it. So maybe “not anything new?”

So why be careful with
DeepSeek AI?!

If you have TikTok installed in your phone, you’re probably okay to install the DeepSeek Ai on your phone. Just make sure you’re getting the correct app. Soon or now, you WILL find a lot of apps pretending to be DEEPSEEK AI. They’re not. So don’t install them.

Then – the problem with using THE DEEPSEEK AI

For most people -you’re not going to install the entire 9GB+ LLM on your computer.

You will install the app from the app store.

This app – like TikTok is made by China – is required to send your information back to China to load up on information about you.

It doesn’t matter until you read the Chinese Law that enables THEM to go after people who aren’t Chinese and who aren’t even inside China.

They already behave like this today.

They say they “own" that part of the ocean which was named after them.

That’s their internal law. None of the other countries recognize that they own it.

But they’re smart enough to behave like they own the ocean with their tiny boats.

After 100 years, when people have forgotten who owns what – they may get what they want – atrocious typhoons. 🙂 #amen #amen

DO YOU MIND?

If you don’t mind China using your info- that’s fine —-use the DEEPSEEK APP.

If you DO MIND, then use the DEEPSEEK inside Perplexity AI instead. (The one I used in the screenshot). It’s safer than using DEEPSEEK using its own app.

That’s because the information doesn’t go to China as Perplexity isn’t a chinese company.

As I said, feature wise —DEEPSEEK is a fad, it doesn’t really give anything new to the LLM AI world.

You do not have to use DEEPSEEK.

It IS seeking your information – to be sent back to the "motherland".

ALREADY

Well, doesn’t Facebook and Google already harvest our data already?

What’s the harm if China wants the data too?

All of them want to sell to you – that’s true.

But only the last one – has laws that can literally harm you.

Here’s what it says:

“…to take corresponding countermeasures and restrictive measures” against acts that violate international law and norms and that “endanger China’s sovereignty, security and development interests,”

Yes, boring right?

China can use whatever it is you enter inside that DEEPSEEK AI app and use it against you if it thinks you’re going to “endanger China’s sovereignty, security and development interests,”.

For example (I know this is boring but the Blessed Virgin Mary is in this so keep up)
If there’s a bridge that China funded to be built in say, Africa or Palawan’s coast. You enter these topics inside DeepSeek AI. You converse with the AI about how bad it is.

You’re now signalling directly to China that you’re “endangering their development interests.”

You already know they don’t care about “international laws” (See "West Philippine Sea is ours").

So do you really want to play with an AI that phones home to mother China?

TikTok already does that – by the way. That’s why they’re banning it in the USA.

And that’s why they already banned TIKTOK for Spying in India. (As well as newly corrupting their youth).

MAMA MARY
You would be powerless about all these international things….
EXCEPT ONE THING.
If you prayed the rosary faithfully everyday.
If you invoked (called) our Blessed Mother -to “Protect Us”.
If you consecrate your home, your self, your everything to the Immaculate Heart (sinless) of Mary… the very heart that Jesus loves (try to remember Jesus’ relationship to her mother).
Then Our Lady will protect us.
The way she protected Jesus those 30+ years before he made a public appearance.
In fact, she’s already protecting me!
Everyone who is evil cannot read this text you’re reading now.
It’s only visible to those who are in the protection of Mama Mary.
But you do have to do YOUR PART.
Just like in any home.
You can’t just EAT, SLEEP and play video games.
You do your part.
In this case, you pray the rosary, everyday.
If you have a family – MAKE THEM pray with you – specially if you’re the ADULT here.
And if you’re a dad- it’s your DUTY to collect the family and bring them to Her – the mother of Jesus to the wedding of Cana.
There Mary will whisper to Jesus’ ear about your problems.
“They have no more wine!”
And Jesus will act.
And Mary will tell you to “RELAX JESUS IS IN CONTROL.”
— NO SHE WON’T SAY THAT.
Mary will say “Do whatever Jesus tells you.”
See! You do have to act!
None of this “Faith is enough alone" craziness.
Act.
Pray.
Our Lady will protect us.
Amen Amen.

Using Google Tag Manager GTM with Systeme.io vs Facebook Ads Pixel Events

Jomar Hilario
January 28, 2025January 30, 2025

Stories of Tracking Success with Systeme.io

Let’s dive into the stories of two business owners, Sarah and Mike, who use Systeme.io to run their online sales effectively.

Sarah’s Journey with Systeme.io and GTM
Sarah owns a trendy online clothing store powered by Systeme.io. She wants to track her ad performance accurately. By integrating Google Tag Manager (GTM) with Systeme.io, she sets up tags that monitor key events like purchases and cart additions. (Check with Systeme.io if this is already tested and integrated)

One day, Sarah notices that many users add items to their cart but don’t complete their purchases. Thanks to GTM, she identifies this trend quickly. She adjusts her ad strategy to target these users with special discounts. This leads to increased sales through her Systeme.io sales funnel.

Mike’s Experience with Systeme.io and Facebook Pixel
On the other hand, Mike runs a local bakery, also using Systeme.io for his online sales. He relies on the Facebook Pixel for tracking. He sets up Pixel events within his Systeme.io account to monitor actions like page views and purchases.

However, Mike faces challenges when users block cookies or use ad blockers. Despite this, he successfully tracks some conversions through Systeme.io. Realizing he needs a more reliable solution, Mike decides to explore the Facebook Conversion API while still using Systeme.io for managing his sales funnels.

Setting Up GTM Events in Systeme.io

Instead of using GTM (which is still under development for integration with Systeme.io since 2023), here’s how you can set up events for Facebook Pixel in Systeme.io:

Create Your Facebook Pixel:

Go to your Facebook Business account. Not personal account.
Navigate to “Events Manager” and click on “Add Data Source.”
Select “Facebook Pixel” and follow the prompts to create your pixel.

Copy Your Pixel ID:

After creating your pixel, click on it in the Events Manager.
Copy the Pixel ID from the settings menu.

Access Your Systeme.io Dashboard:

Log into your Systeme.io account.
Click on your profile icon and select “Settings.”

Add Your Pixel ID:

In the settings menu, navigate to “Custom Domains.”
Paste your Facebook Pixel ID in the designated field for tracking.

Generate Access Token for Conversion API (Optional):

In Events Manager, scroll down to find “Generate Access Token.”
Copy this token and paste it into the appropriate field in your Systeme.io settings. (It’s inside the MAIN Systeme.Io Settings, Under Subdomains, Select Subdomain, Then Settings, Then Scroll Down )

Install the Pixel Code on Your Funnel Pages:

Go to your funnel in Systeme.io.
Click on “Settings” for the specific page you want to track.
Scroll down to “Tracking” on the left side
Select the event (“Purchase”, “Lead”, “View” etc) that happens on this page.
Click on “Edit Header Code.”
Do this for Sales Page “View” event.
Do this for Thank you Page “Purchase” event.
Paste your Facebook Pixel code here and save.

Set Up Events Manually (if needed):

To track specific events like purchases or sign-ups, you can manually add event codes.
Use the Event Setup Tool in Facebook. Refer to documentation to add custom event codes directly into your pixel code. This is inside Facebook Business Manager.

Comparing Tracking Options in Systeme.io

When it comes to tracking user behavior for ads through Systeme.io, there are three main options: Google Tag Manager (GTM), Facebook Conversion API, and Facebook Pixel Events. Here’s how they stack up against each other:

Feature	Google Tag Manager (GTM)	Facebook Conversion API	Facebook Pixel Events
Type of Tracking	Server-side & client-side	Server-side	Client-side
Event Tracking	Full	Full	Limited
Offline Event Tracking	No	Yes	No
Ad Blocker Resistance	Moderate	High	Low
Data Control	Moderate	High	Low
Setup Complexity	Moderate	High	Low

How They Work Together in Systeme.io

GTM allows you to manage both server-side and client-side tags easily within your Systeme.io account. Once this is implemented, that will happen.
The Facebook Conversion API (CAPI) sends event data directly from your server to Facebook. This makes it more reliable against cookie restrictions.
Facebook Pixel Events track user interactions through JavaScript code on your website but can be affected by ad blockers.

A Closer Look at Each Option in Systeme.io

Google Tag Manager (GTM):

Allows for easy management of tags within your Systeme.io platform.
Can track various events across multiple platforms.
Offers a comprehensive view of user interactions.

Facebook Conversion API:

Provides server-side tracking integrated with your Systeme.io account.
Not affected by cookie blocking or ad blockers.
Ideal for businesses needing accurate data collection.

Facebook Pixel Events:

Simple setup using JavaScript code within your Systeme.io site.
Limited by browser restrictions and user privacy settings.
Best for straightforward tracking needs but may miss some data due to blockers.

Conclusion

In conclusion, choose between GTM, Facebook Conversion API, and Facebook Pixel Events based on your specific needs. Consider the context of using Systeme.io. Sarah found success with GTM by tracking detailed events through her sales funnels in Systeme.io, while Mike realized the limitations of relying solely on the Pixel.

For marketers looking for comprehensive insights and reliable data collection, using a combination of these tools is often recommended. By integrating both the Facebook Pixel and Conversion API through GTM in their Systeme.io accounts, businesses can optimize their ad performance effectively.

Why Lightning-Fast WordPress Admin Speed Changed My Life: A True Story (Via Claude.AI)

Jomar Hilario
January 22, 2025

The Truth About WordPress Admin Speed: A WordPress Admin’s Journey

Have you ever felt that frustrating squeeze in your chest while waiting for your WordPress dashboard to load?

I remember staring at my screen, watching that spinning wheel mock me as I tried to update a client’s website at midnight.

What started as a simple task turned into an hour-long battle with a sluggish admin panel, and that’s when I knew something had to change.

Let me share how I discovered that admin speed isn’t just a luxury – it’s absolutely essential for anyone serious about WordPress.

The Real-World Test: Speed Comparison

I tested three major WordPress hosts with a site running 15 active plugins. Here’s what I found:

WP Engine:
Admin Load Time: 1.2 seconds
Dashboard Response: Near-instant
Plugin Installation: Under 5 seconds
Server Location: Multiple global locations

Nexcess:
Admin Load Time: 2.8 seconds
Dashboard Response: 1-2 seconds
Plugin Installation: 8-12 seconds
Server Location: US-based

WPX:
Admin Load Time: 2.5 seconds
Dashboard Response: 1-2 seconds
Plugin Installation: 7-10 seconds
Server Location: Europe-focused

Why WP Engine Stands Out

The Good Stuff:
DevKit environment for testing changes without breaking your live site
Advanced caching that actually understands WordPress
Automatic daily backups with one-click restore
Built-in CDN that works seamlessly
24/7 chat support with real WordPress experts
Automatic SSL certificates and security updates

The Not-So-Good Stuff:
Higher price point compared to basic hosts
Some plugins are disallowed for security reasons
Storage limits on lower-tier plans
No email hosting included

Real Customer Stories

Sarah Thompson, Digital Agency Owner:
"We moved 47 client sites to WP Engine last year. Our support tickets dropped by 80%, and site management time was cut in half. Best business decision we made in 2024."

Mark Rodriguez, Food Blogger:
"My recipe site used to take 20 seconds to save posts with images. On WP Engine, it’s instant. I actually enjoy updating my blog again!"

David Chen, E-commerce Manager:
"During Black Friday, our WooCommerce store handled 3x more traffic than last year. WP Engine didn’t even break a sweat. Worth every penny."

The Hard Truth About Admin Speed

Every second you wait for your WordPress admin to load is money slipping through your fingers.

Think about it: if you spend just 30 minutes a day in your WordPress dashboard, a slow admin panel could waste 2.5 hours of your week.

That’s over 130 hours per year – more than three work weeks lost to loading screens!

My Personal Recommendation

After trying countless hosts over my 15-year journey with WordPress, I can confidently say WP Engine has transformed how I work with WordPress.

You can check out the hosting plan I personally use at: https://jhilario.com/wordpressmonthly

Remember: your time is valuable, and life’s too short for slow WordPress admin panels.

Don’t let a sluggish dashboard hold you back from creating amazing content.

The peace of mind that comes with a lightning-fast WordPress admin is truly priceless.

Take action now – your future self will thank you for making the switch to proper WordPress hosting.

Chatgpt Answers: Does It Matter? Fast WordPress Admin Speed?

Jomar Hilario
January 22, 2025

When I first started using WordPress, I didn’t think much about the admin speed.

It felt normal to wait for a page to load or for a plugin update to finish.

But then, I realized how much time I was wasting.

Imagine clicking “Save” and waiting.

Waiting for a page to refresh.

Waiting for your plugins to update.

Doesn’t your time matter?

That’s when I knew I needed a better hosting service.

I tried several hosts.

Some were cheap, but their admin speed? Painfully slow.

Others were okay, but they couldn’t handle my site with 15 active plugins.

Then, I found WP Engine.

Their admin panel? Lightning-fast.

I could update plugins, add posts, and tweak my theme without wasting time.

It felt like driving a sports car instead of a clunky old van.

Does it Matter? Fast WordPress Admin Speed?

Here’s my message to you:

Does it Matter?

Fast WordPress Admin Speed?

When you’re using WordPress -you’re looking at the admin side.

Does it make you wait – while it’s loading something?

Is it acceptable that it’s slow?

I should be fast.Other hosts I’ve tried are too slow in the admin site.

And this WordPress I’m showing here has 15 plugins – all activated

My recommended WordPress Host with this speedy Admin Page is

Affiliate Marketing Lesson: Share learnings

Jomar Hilario
January 22, 2025January 22, 2025

Q: How to promote anything via Affiliate Marketing using series of learnings?

A: When you went to school, you took notes.

Those notes – shown a little bit – can be used to tease the lecture to other people.

So they too will be curious about the “rest of the notes” and the actual lecture.

In some school situations, you do workshops. You create things.

Showing the unfinished work online can be used to find people interested in what you’re building.

Example, an unfinished painting shown once a week – will make people ready to buy it once it’s completed.

Similarly, a lesson APPLIED from a book, when shown online, will gradually draw interested people. They will be inclined to “ask for more”.

Mindset: This is best shown to strangers. And to more and more strangers. Expecting loved ones and friends to pay attention is no good. That will only work if you have 100,000 family and friends.

Why your bank charges you P 100 to withdraw Over The Counter if you don’t have your ATM with you.

Jomar Hilario
January 22, 2025

Why your bank charges you P 100 to withdraw Over The Counter if you don’t have your ATM with you.

For Decades, banks have said:
"Keep your money with us."
"It’s safe with us".

Then one day you say "I’d like my money back."

Then they say "That’ll be P 100." #servicewithasmile

Or if via ATM, "That’ll be P 8 because you are using another bank to withdraw from us."

It’s been like this for a few years now, whether you withdraw in another bank’s ATM or your own bank without an ATM card (P 100).

Banks are in the business of: -keeping our money securely -loaning it out to other people for a big interest gain

Hence, in keeping with bank goals, they want to discourage us in a very nice way to do withdrawals.
"Please deposit, but please control your withdrawals."

Of course, charging P 8 – P 100/ withdrawal x number of people withdrawing / day is also a hefty source of income for them.

It’s not enough for them to earn from the massive interests they charge for bank loans.

They have to earn from a normal person’s withdrawals as much as possible.

It’s good your eyes are open to this now.

SOLUTIONS 1. Do keep your regular withdrawals to a minimum. It’s a horror show (See Greek Bank Run) if we all withdraw at the same time.
2. In fact, plan to go to the bank – with a bank book or ATM and withdraw a BIG AMOUNT (Like most of it) once a month.
3. Then during the month, you don’t have to waste time lining up in the bank.
4. Doing this will remove all the extra wasted money on service fees.
5. This will also remove all the wasted time lining up in the bank or ATM.

SMALL AMOUNT
After all, the person who says P 8 is a small amount -is the person who ends up poor. P 8 withdrawal fee per week is P 416 a year. In 40 years of weekly withdrawals : P 16,640. If you still say that’s "maliit lang" – then that’s why your income level is what it is today.

HOURS WASTED Lets say you line up once a week for ATM withdrawals. That’s 30 min x 52 weeks x 40 years = 1,400 hours wasted in your life. Talk about giving time to "Quality and Quantity time for family, eh" All you had to do was to stop withdrawing regularly and you’d have more time with family!
MONEY A TOOL Money is a means, a tool. You don’t have to love money. You just have to respect it. If you spend time and cash to "buy" a withdrawal from the bank – then that’s where your money is going. It’s not going to Tuition, Food, Water, Church.

It’s your turn to INCREASE!
