This will get built in a totally walled and verticalized way by @OpenAI because it'll be Meta people building it and that's how they think. @perplexity_ai seems so clueless about ads, they'll likely just give up. There will be startups building the components in a third-party
MCP will be the new 'ad server' of AI ads (functionally, not literally serving ads necessarily), in effect the buy side. The ranking/optimization layer is invoked by an AI-enabled consumer experience (in which personal context is shared), and is functionally the SSP/ad exchange.

just a matter of time until someone ships an mcp server for ads - add to your agent and sign in with oauth - randomly get served ads in chat - you get paid for every exposure

My first job was as a reporter intern at the Sun-Sentinel, the city paper for Fort Lauderdale that covered most of South Florida outside of Miami. Interns got a desk in a newsroom full of characters, a newspaper ID, the ear of an editor to pitch story ideas, and it was about the

I'm in a groupchat of intellectual normies and the content is: 1. boomer lib lecture 2. laughably bad take on tech 3. erudite cultural digression about an overlooked Czech author (repeat) We're right at the borderline, and if the ratio of 3 to 1,2 goes a smidge lower, I'm out.

I am in the wildest industry. This is like being in the oil industry in the early 1900s, in the whaling industry in the 1800s, or in spice trading in the 1700s.

20x higher ARPU than Meta (though of course on a different consumer base; OpenAI likely skews to the high end). Still money losing, but incredible numbers nonetheless. I'd bet ads ARPU will be significantly higher as well.
Latest OpenAI numbers from the FT: 800m users, 5% paying (40m). $13bn in ARR. Implies a $325 annual ARPU, or $27/month per paying user. 70% of rev from subscriptions, rest is API. $8bn loss in H1, prob $20bn run rate loss now? So basically spending $3 for each $1 in revenue.

51-year-old Jason Riley actually had the audacity to ask his ex-wife to be a surrogate for him and his new 24-year-old flame. Nine months later, when he got to see the baby, he realized he had made a terrible mistake when he decided to trust his ex-wife. Click to read more👇

It's not a peace, it's a hudna. Nobody in the West even knows what that is. Everyone in Israel knows that's what it is.

"If the First Amendment doesn't work, then the Second Amendment will."
The First Amendment is what we stand for; the Second is how we enforce it. And the story that has shaped America can be boiled down to this deep-seated tension in our founding documents, the very principles awarded first and second chair in the orchestra of the American

I got a 'deep cleaning' at the dentist, and after what felt like hours with some mini-jackhammer in my mouth resulting in a bloody slurry that had to be constantly sucked out, my teeth now feel like Legos that got removed and replaced by a clumsy toddler.
Going to a battery of doctors, dentists and specialists to catch up health-wise after ignoring it all during Spindl. I’ve done this before, but instead of feeling like pitting a Formula 1 car it’s like lurching in with a smoking ‘97 Camry that somehow finished the Paris/Dakar.

The West: Birth rates are crashing everywhere! No public policy changes this! Israel: Where do we park all the baby strollers? It’s a stunning contrast to anyone who visits: no other place on Earth combines high GDP with youthful vigor in the same way.

Israelis are living in a different world, one where life still pulses and death still looms, where collective sacrifice still binds and victory causes dancing in the streets. The West is living in the civilizational equivalent of a retirement home: we haven’t done this in ages.
This is what VE Day in Trafalgar Square in 1945 must have felt like. Israelis are euphoric. Not only to have the hostages back, but to end two years of war. Two years of running to bomb shelters every night and waking up to news of dead soldiers every morning. We won 🕊️🇮🇱

Funny how quickly victory on the battlefield turned into victory on here, the spectacle being downstream of reality for once (instead of the reverse) That’s how you can tell you’re dealing with History, rather than its boring, sterile end: reality beats the simulacrum.

“I also have some pretty good news about what’s happened with your stocks over the past two years.” The most amusing thing is that achi here, who’s just survived two years in a literal underworld, is probably coming up rich given he couldn’t sell his skyrocketing Nvidia stock.
Absolute perfection. Avinatan Or’s boss at @nvidia writes to him, read till the end: “Avinatan Or, I hope you have a good excuse for not showing up to work at NVIDIA for 738 days. But every Sunday morning for two years, the head of NVIDIA Israel’s HR, Gideon Rosenberg, sent an
