🍭 Stargates & Slippery Slopes 😑

Good morning. AI isn’t just eating the internet anymore.

it’s licensing the sauce and selling it to every government, startup, and brand with a pulse.

→ The real ones know where to find us now… ←

What’s Cookin’:

• Zuck’s “business results machine” might break your feed

• OpenAI wants to franchise AI like Starbucks: local flavor, global control

• Figma just launched more products than Adobe has lawsuits

• And everything else you need to know…

Meta
💸 Zuckerberg Wants to Automate Ads. RIP Feed.

The Bite: Zuck just pitched an AI-powered ad system that auto-generates 4,000+ versions of your campaign, and scales what works.

No “human in the loop”.

The goal? Small businesses feed it a budget and a goal, Meta handles the rest.

Fully automated, end-to-end.

Vibe Marketing anyone?


Snacks: 

• AI-generated ads tested on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads users

• No need to define audience; Meta’s AI handles targeting better than humans, according to Zuck

• AI tools are already being used by SMBs, creative teams optional.

• Zuck calls it “the most valuable AI system that gets built”

• Criticism is mounting over generative slop, user experience decay, and the ethics of bypassing creatives

Why it bites: Meta’s already flooded with AI chatbots, fake comments, and cursed filters.

Now he wants your feed to A/B test 4,000 versions of an ad… on you.

Hot take: You’re not the user — you’re the training data.

OpenAI For Countries
🛰️ Spreading Democracy or Spinning the Wheel of Doom?

The Bite:  OpenAI just launched OpenAI for Countries; a plan to help governments build “democratic AI infrastructure” using local data centers, custom ChatGPTs, and startup funds… all wrapped inside the larger Stargate project with U.S. backing.

Sounds noble. But under the hood?

It’s giving…

• Centralized control disguised as local empowerment

• Deep dependencies on models we barely understand (Anthropic just admitted we only grok ~30% of how they actually “reason”)

• A nice PR coat for what might be the most scalable surveillance-capable system in history

Zoom Out:

This is Doom 30 in early access.

Not the robot apocalypse, but the prequel.

The part where we casually embed LLMs into national infrastructure before alignment research catches up.

As in:

Why it bites:

“Democratic AI” sounds like open access. But what we’re really getting is franchised AI with centralized strings and very little transparency.

If the models go rogue or glitch out, it’s not just a chatbot problem.

It’s policy, healthcare, education, sovereignty.

Figma
🎨 Figma Just Made Your Stack Look Bloated

The Bite: Figma just hit God Mode at its Config event. Launching four new AI products designed to eliminate the need for Canva, WordPress, or even Adobe.

From code-gen to CMS, everything’s now inside the canvas.

Snacks:

• Figma Sites: AI-built websites with CMS and animations

• Figma Make: Build working app prototypes with Claude 3.7

• Figma Buzz: Auto-generate branded marketing assets in bulk

• Figma Draw: Vector editing built right in — no more Illustrator detours

• Figma Grid: Notion-meets-Excel-style workspace that merges docs, data, and design all editable like a spreadsheet but built for product teams

Why it bites: Figma has Canva, Framer, and others in it’s crosshairs. It’s got my whole creative stack on it’s hit list actually.

When workflows collapse into one tool, the bottleneck isn’t software, it’s people.

And that rewrites how teams get built.
