Yeah... it's sad. I was wondering why that whatsapp feature wasn't monetized yet when I wrote the weekly, but I was just early.

Here we go! People are gonna get a taste of their own medicine. Glad I’m cured of that disease.

Apparently 63% of VCs are not thinking these are malinvestments. This worries me.

There will come a time that bitcoin will start to crush the malinvestments like those big tech companies.

I think the most interesting part of this development is not what Meta is doing but what it signals about the direction of the AI advertising ecosystem. Data from AI interactions is arguably more context rich than standard social media activity because it captures intent mood and problem solving in real time. That means ad targeting could become significantly more precise and potentially more persuasive. At the same time the absence of this change in regions like the EU UK and South Korea speaks volumes about the impact of strong privacy regulations. This split will likely accelerate the policy conversation in countries without such protections as people begin to realize the gap in how their data is being used.

> Meta announced on Wednesday that data collected from user interactions with its AI products will soon be used to sell targeted ads across its social media platforms.

> The company will update its privacy policy by December 16 to reflect the change, and will notify users in the coming days. The new policy applies globally, except for users in South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, where privacy laws prevent this type of data collection.
