Spotify announced a new audiobook strategy, aiming directly at Amazon (plus Apple and Google). Twitch bans online gambling after a soap-opera type scamming by a popular streamer. But, will it last? ESPN launches a creator network, investing a bucket of pucks into the initiative. Both Joe and Robert agree, it's "meh". And Starbucks launches a new Web3 loyalty program, investing a double bucket of pucks. Rants and raves include purpose and more purpose...plus, the Emmy awards.

While the world gets distracted by Scarlett Johansson's possible case against OpenAI, the AI giant continues to do deals with media companies.  This time, Open AI signed a deal with News Corp (owners of WSJ) for $250 million over five years (reported). Who's next? Trump Media's quarterly reported was more than a disaster, and yet the stock keeps going up. And we have a nice disagreement about whether Chick-fil-A should embrace or fire their internal social media influencers.  Hits and misses include GaryVee's new book and Coca-Cola lens. Rants and raves include content marketing platforms and a nice rave for the Cleveland Guardians baseball team. ----- This week's links: OpenAI vs. Black Widow OpenAI Signs Deal Trump Media Report Social Influencers and what to do Coca-Cola Lens GaryVee's Book Trailer ----- This week's sponsor: Hubspot's Service Hub is a game changer for marketers and creators.

Live from CEX 2024 (with special guest Philip Hernandez)

It was another crazy week in AI news. On the heals of Google's AI announcement, OpenAI launches ChatGPT4 Omni (o). What does the new iteration mean for creators and marketers? If that wasn't enough, TikTok is upgrading its algorithm with AI. Thank you (not so much). And is the beef between Kendrick and Drake real? We think it's marketing. Hits and misses include John Mulaney's new show and Prof G's podcast strategy. Rants and raves include OEF's 100 Holes of Golf model and more on MarTech cuts.

It's Raining AI (428)

In the latest social media soap opera, TikTok has sued the US Government over its potential "ban," bringing out the unconstitutional card. Is this just a stalling tactic? Yes...and it's working. More money is flowing into the creator economy after big product successes from MrBeast and Logan Paul. But will the new algo changes be the end of big content creators? And Hollywood continues to lack standards with AI. Is it simply too late? Hits and misses include CEX and Joe Biden. Rants and raves include Instagram and Meta.
