OpenAI is AOL. Weâre still in the dial-up era of AI. The gateway to something much bigger than we can imagine.
Anthropic is Yahoo. Looks good. Sounds good. Early momentum. But will it stand the test of time?

The headlines suggest Paris is in turmoil. The reality I experienced today? Just another Saturday in Paris.
After a full day exploring the city, there was little sign of unrest. A few boarded-up shops and small groups making their way toward the protest route, but that was about it. Perhaps the rain kept crowds away, but Paris seemed to be carrying on as usual.
Itâs a reminder that headlines donât always capture the full picture of whatâs happening on the ground.
From where I stood today, Paris was simply being Paris. â¤ď¸đŤđˇ

Salesforce buying Braze is a signal of where the future of marketing is headed.
The value is shifting from collecting customer data to acting on it in real time, across every channel. AI baby!
The next battleground will be activation. Execution becomes the differentiator.

Carpe diem, contextual targeting. This is your moment to seize.
Adtech spent years chasing who someone is. Contextual has an opportunity to show how much value there is in understanding what someone is paying attention to, and making advertising useful in that moment.
The best part of the week wasnât the meeting. It was the meetings about the meetings.
And Iâm not even employed đ¤Ł
Apple isnât coming for TTD. Itâs coming for Meta and AppLovin.
The download economy is much more lucrative than most of adtech realizes.
The prize isnât open web ad spend. Itâs discovery, installs, subscriptions and commerce.
Mainstream adtech never really understood mobile.
