Meta is going full bore with pushing other companies to add the same restrictions it will add to its apps as a part of settlement: Meta plans to run this copy as a full page print advertisement in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and the New York Times tomorrow morning

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Marketers and content teams

Oh my god. When Linda Yaccarino said that Visa was a “returning advertiser” she meant the company spent $10 on Twitter ads in the last 12 weeks. Not ten million. Not ten thousand. Ten dollars.

Facebook is probably more comfortable selling ads than buying them, but they'll do what they have to do in order to be the top result when some people search for 'Signal' in the App Store. P.S. There will never be ads in Signal, because your data belongs in your hands not ours.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.

Hear me out: More people my age have texted me personally saying they listened to VP Harris on Alex Cooper Call Her Daddy podcast compared to any other legacy media source. And they say they now know VP Harris so much better. The Harris campaign knows what it’s doing.

Tim Pool (@timcast): outed as a Russian propagandist. Tim was being paid $100,000 a week by Tenet Media. TM took millions in Kremlin cash as part of “a scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging"). Don't lie Tim, you knew.

the Department of Justice filed what it calls an "historic" letter of interest in the NYT vs OpenAI/MSFT lawsuit, supporting OpenAI. Trump admin argues it is in the "national interest" to support OAI in the copyright case. NYT sent us statement with vigorous pushback below:

the Meta settlement money figure is a rounding error compared to Meta's annual capex on AI — especially when it's amortized over the next *ten years* but these required product changes could actually significant if they are enforced, not easily bypassed by kids

because i cast a mountain’s worth of shade at SpaceX IPO pitch and fair is fair, the numbers thrown around for total addressable market (or TAM) are so funny either you buy into the argument that this will eat the economy or you dont. but the street no longer flinches hearing it

google earth rollback faster than i anticipated. genuinely surprised this feature made it out the door at all. not hard to see how there is a meaningful difference in "well anyone can generate altered AI mapping images" to "adding this as a button to a google-scale product"

News — in an interview, Mark Zuckerberg blasts "centralization" of A.I. power and calls out some of the "doom" from other leading A.I. labs...i.e. Anthropic and OpenAI (though not by name) w/ @elitanjourno t.co

imagine making this statement with a straight face after dropping a director’s mostly finished film at least be honest and say “yeah we did a deal with openai and have to ditch you, sorry” weak shit
