Gen Z UX, Oracle’s $1 Trillion Glow-Up, and Microsoft’s Most Vague Press Release Ever
This week we get into the weeds of AI hype vs. reality:
- Justin brings up Higgs Field, an AI-first marketing platform with the most Gen Z-coded UX imaginable. Messy, loud, and -surprisingly- brilliant for marketers.
- Tom unpacks how Oracle added a casual $1 trillion to its market cap by shifting from ERP giant to AI infrastructure heavyweight (plus why some companies are still running the other way).
- We break down the bizarre three-sentence “joint statement” from Microsoft + OpenAI that somehow manages to say… absolutely nothing.
Also: AI influencers, fake UGC everywhere, and whether we’ll ever trust what we see online again.
If you want the no-fluff version of what’s actually happening in AI, this one’s for you.
