Hi friend 👋🏼 and welcome to this week’s edition of “the dump.”

This week is all about AI, has to be. Not to reopen the impossible debate on whether AI is a good or a bad thing for the industry. But because we get to see both sides this week: One hand Meta is threatening the entire ad industry with new AI tools that can create campaigns from nothing to execution and optimization. And on the other hand, platforms like TikTok and Instagram are using AI to improve her experience and give us more control on what we see.

So yes, the debate is on-going…

Of course we also have stories from our writers, a few links from around the web, and, of course, a lot of fun stuff to click on.

As always, we really appreciate you and your support.

Let’s go!
