Morning Brew

A really cool article by Alex Lieberman.

So if you guys don't know Alex, he was the founder of Morning Brew, 4 million subscribers while in college, sold it to private equity for $75 million, not a bad dude, and does a whole bunch of other cool stuff now.

But He wrote a really cool post on X that Jen found, but it's a common question that we hear is like, yeah, well, my team is kind of doing their thing and yeah, I guess they kind of use AI a little bit or we kind of started and stalled my own company.

We've had some of these issues as well.

Yeah, it is, it is interesting to, uh, to be back in the saddle.

I'm, I'm doing some podcasting, doing some, some freelancing work with, uh, Morning Brew for their Brew Markets Daily Show, um, and kind of dusting off some of the podcast equipment.

And their approach is similar in some ways to what we did at The Motley Fool, but also they use different tools.

They like me to be lit slightly differently.

And it's a little annoying where it's like they don't actually know our business.

So, like, now who am I listening to? The person that, like, has no idea what Morning Brew Inc.

is doing or, like, what's going on here?

Yeah.

She used to do presentations for us-

Mm-hmm

... at Morning Brew Learning, and it was incredibly impactful to me.

Um, and, and she's, like, a, a multi-time founder CMO, so thank you, Amanda.

Well, thank you so much for joining us today.

Catch you next week.

Alex is the founder of 10X Labs, which is a company that helps transform existing companies into AI native companies.

And before that, he was a founder at Morning Brew.

As you might imagine, that experience at Morning Brew means that he is often a great source of content, and the post that inspired this episode is actually a direct crib from his X account recently, 30 Features of an AI Native Company.

What I thought would be fun, after turning it into a beautiful 1950s retro futurist themed presentation with the help of Codex and GPT Image 2, is to go through these features one by one, where I will share the aspect of AI nativeness that Alex posted about, and then add any thoughts, qualifications, disagreements, although I don't think that I necessarily disagree in a lot of places, and other observations that I've seen in my work with enterprises as well.

Now, I should note that I don't think that this is in any particular order.

The physical, mental, and emotional harms that intentionally addictive social media platforms inflict on youth, and particularly teenage girls are widespread across the tech industry and successful coordinated multi-state litigation has resulted in meta being the first platform to come to the table and agree to such comprehensive reforms it will not be the last again the last line was it will not be the last the americans have woken up and they have decided to take this Very seriously.

Now, following that, obviously, Morning Brew had reported this.

What all has Meta agreed to? Now, I'm going to put that up on the screen first, and then we'll get straight into a gigantic presentation that Ram has prepared himself.

It's a slide deck.

We will run through the entire slide deck.

That's why I'm just setting up it all.

uh for uh for you guys so that you know it becomes easier but i want to share one more bit of information which was uh shared by the morning brew major changes are coming to facebook and instagram for users under 18. strict time limits two hours per day content banning use of beauty filters ability to deactivate algorithmic field Feed.

Concealing likes totals other reactions.
