šŸ­ Altman: "I was born for this" šŸ¤”

Altman: Writes biography. Meta: Bots are the agency now.

Good morning. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has officially entered his egomaniac era and your Facebook ads account just got a AI ad agency.

Let’s dig in.

What’s Cookin’:

  • Altman → autobiography

  • Facebook → AI Ad advisors

  • 5 AI Tools to be a bigger chad than you were yesterday

  • And Everything Else you Need to Know

OpenAI
šŸ¤– Altman Was Born For This….allegedly

The Bite: Sam Altman has a new biography — The Optimist — and it reads like the unauthorized backstory of a Marvel supervillain who swears he’s saving humanity.

Written by WSJ’s Keach Hagey, the book paints Altman as Silicon Valley’s favorite contradiction:

He’s progressive but cuts deals with Trump.

He wants AI to be safe… just not too regulated.


Snacks: 

  • The Optimist traces Altman’s rise from Midwest code nerd → YC kingpin → OpenAI overlord

  • His dad was an idealist. His mom was a hyper-productive doctor. He became a fundraising machine with anxiety

  • Altman’s biggest skill = making billionaires believe in vibes. He’s ā€œa salesman who doesn’t flinchā€

  • The OpenAI ā€œBlipā€ (aka the board coup) revealed that the nonprofit/for-profit structure is a governance time bomb

  • Politically, Sam’s still center-left — but he’s mastered the Trumpian art of the deal (see: $B data center schemes)


Why it bites: Altman’s story is less about AI and more about how power repackages itself.

He built a nonprofit that acts like a startup.
He sells utopia while preparing for extinction.
He’s simultaneously the hype man and the existential warning label.

In the AI narrative arms race, Sam’s playing every side of the table with a straight face.

So here’s the paradox:

The guy warning us about AI’s risks… is the same guy raising billions to build it faster.

That’s not hypocrisy.
That’s the job.

And maybe Sam Altman really was born for it.

🟦 META WANTS TO BE YOUR AD AGENCY

The Bite: Meta’s building a full-stack AI ad machine that eats creative briefs for breakfast.

By 2026, you’ll be able to upload a product image and a budget… and Meta’s AI will write the copy, make the visuals, pick the platform, and target the right people.

Human in the loop? Optional.
Agency retainer? LOL.


Snacks: 

  • WPP, Publicis, and Havas stocks dipped ~3–4% on the news

  • AI picks which Meta platform to run the ad (FB, IG, Threads)

  • Targets users by location, interest, and spend goals

  • Meta says it’s ā€œnot replacing agenciesā€ but also… it is

  • Small businesses = big winners; creative teams = sweating

Why it bites: Meta’s not selling tools — it’s selling outcomes.

That’s great for SMBs, but if Zuck owns the entire funnel, your feed becomes a testing ground.

4,000 AI-generated ad variants running at once?

You’re not the customer.
You’re the control group.

🚧 Inside the Mind of a Skeptical Client

The Bite: Clients aren’t scared of AI. They’re scared of being wrong.

That’s the part no one says out loud.

→ Not ā€œwhat if this breaks?ā€
→ But ā€œwhat if I approved the thing that broke?ā€

For most decision-makers, the real fear isn’t the tool.
It’s being blamed if it backfires.

Snacks: Inside the Mind of a Skeptical Client

šŸ­ They want innovation… without risk
→ They love new ideas—until you ask them to sign off on one.

šŸ­ They’ve been burned before
→ A bad Zapier workflow, a wrong email blast, a rogue agent. They don’t forget.

šŸ­ They don’t fear AI. They fear headlines
→ ā€œ[Company Name] chatbot lied to users about billing policyā€
Remember Cursor’s mishap?

You think they’re worried about hallucinations?

They’re worried about PR nightmares.

Why it Bites: A lot of smart solos pitch with confidence in the tool.

But the real unlock is showing you understand the fear behind the nods.

You’re not just building an automation.

You’re becoming the safety net that makes it safe to say yes.

šŸ‘‡ And that’s why no one builds this stuff alone for long.šŸ‘‡
