Two posts about who sets the rules around AI output, one on Canva and one on NVIDIA, drew 22,752 of the week's 39,513 views, which is 58 percent of the board from September 27 through October 3. The Canva brand kit post led with 12,096 views, and the NVIDIA agent controls post followed with 10,656, a gap of 1.1 to 1.

Last week's leader drew 39,256 views, more than three times this week's winner.

Google Analytics for the same week shows direct arrivals with no referrer leading, followed by LinkedIn and Google organic search, and because direct traffic mixes email clicks and app opens with automated visits, I can't say how many of those were people.

Brand rules and agent controls drew near-equal attention

The Canva post describes a teammate who downloads a finished-looking picture from a public chat that never saw the brand kit. The NVIDIA post covers a safety platform that runs the controls that stop an agent from outside the agent. In both, the rulebook lives somewhere other than the tool producing the work. I read 22,752 views as buyers asking where that rulebook lives and who can edit it.

Cloudflare took two of the top six slots with a price change and a traffic count

The Basin launch from Cloudflare drew 3,098 views, and the post on machines passing human traffic drew 1,762. Together that is 4,860, more than the 4,079 for the Salesforce agreement to buy Listen Labs, the third-ranked post on the board. Salesforce sits one place above Basin, and the ServiceNow Flow launch from ServiceNow follows it at 2,664.

Basin takes an hourly warehouse fee off the bill, and Cloudflare's anniversary letter counts how many of your visitors are machines. I read the pairing as interest in what agent traffic costs to store and to serve.

Applications took 52 percent of the views and compute and network took 3 percent

Seven posts carried an Applications label, from Canva to Infor, and they drew 20,665 views, 52 percent of the total. The two Compute / Network posts, on the AMD acquisition of World Labs and the Lumen on-demand internet launch, drew 1,152 between them, or 2.9 percent. The AMD post drew 996 views, about a quarter of the Salesforce total.

I cover all six layers of the enterprise AI stack because a contract signed at the application tier creates dependencies three layers down, and I use the counts to see where readers look first.

Dialpad reached 956 views in under two days, ahead of every post in the bottom six.

A short clock and a narrow audience explain most of the bottom of the board

Six posts finished under 400 views. Four of them have had at least three days to collect readers: Vega II at 58, Lumen at 156, Infor at 207 and Parallels at 395. The White House post at 61 and the Google Beam post at 138 went up October 2 and have had two days at most. The Parallels post serves ArcGIS Pro teams that run Windows on a Mac, a narrow audience by design, and the Infor post is a conference preview.

Dialpad is the one to watch. It went up October 3, and 956 views in under two days puts it eighth on the board, 40 views behind AMD and four ahead of Auros.

A post for ArcGIS administrators and a post for a security operations team reach smaller rooms than a post about brand rules, so the bottom of this list says little about quality.
