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

From AI-powered pizza dogs to Instagram myths getting busted, this week’s roundup has everything: from the futuristic to the just plain fun. We’re diving into ChatGPT’s mind-blowing 2.5 billion daily prompts, Instagram’s latest experiments, and the possible resurrection of Vine (with an AI glow-up).

Plus, creative campaigns we love, internet gems to click on, and the kind of stat-packed insights that make you smarter on socials. Let’s get into it.

I know the ads are not what you’re coming for, but they help keep this newsletter free (and pay for our editors.) So, as always, we really appreciate you, your clicks and your support.

Let’s go!
