    Chat Apps Are the New Newsfeeds, AI Isn't Public Opinion, and Kuzma Goes Deep

    Daniel and James are back with another ADSN rundown and this week did not disappoint. They kick things off with Kyle Kuzma posting what can only be described as an institutional-grade investment takes, cover how Meta's algorithm served Chewy's maggot ad to millions of people without anyone at Chewy signing off on it, and react to Amazon being revealed as the company that accidentally burned half a billion dollars on Claude tokens in a single month. From there, the conversation ranges from a NYC startup offering free apartment cleaning in exchange for robot training footage, to why chat apps are structurally becoming the new newsfeeds, to why strict brand guidelines might be the enemy of Gen Z engagement. Then, why synthetic customers and AI-generated survey data are basically bringing the algorithmic feed to real life, and then we close out on why every app company eventually has to become a fintech.

  2. Why Marketing, Product, and Measurement are Collapsing ft. Brian Quinn, AppsFlyer

    Why Marketing, Product, and Measurement are Collapsing ft. Brian Quinn, AppsFlyer

    Daniel and James sit down with Brian Quinn, North American President at AppsFlyer, the marketing measurement platform working with over 15,000 brands including Netflix, TikTok, Pepsi, and Burger King. They kick off the conversation exploring how AI is reshaping the customer journey and then move on to discuss why brands are pulling their best experiences out of the open web and back into apps, and the explosive growth in new apps driven by vibe coding. Brian shares how AppsFlyer customers are adopting AI differently, from small gaming companies that have automated everything to enterprise brands still grappling with compliance and governance. He breaks down how measurement is collapsing from reporting into real-time optimization, why marketing and product teams are merging, and what it means that the web is becoming a data source for LLMs rather than an actual consumer destination. The conversation wraps with a look at why CTV performance advertising remains massively under-indexed and where the next wave of disruption is headed.

    Zuck’s Leaked Audio on Training AI, DraftKings CEO Goes Off & Why Your Feed Is Fake

    Leaked audio from Meta's All Hands: Zuck wants to train AI on employee behavior. DraftKings CEO goes scorched earth on Kalshi. Publicis bought LiveRamp. Chinese brands are quietly acquiring Everlane, Blue Bottle, and Salomon. Airbnb will have to embrace AI agents. The feed is fake. And someone put their CPA on Meta Ray-Bans.

  4. Why Everyone in Ads Is Wrong About OpenAI, Shopify, and Gen Z

    Why Everyone in Ads Is Wrong About OpenAI, Shopify, and Gen Z

    This week ADSN goes bicostal for the first time. Daniel is live from Upfronts in New York and James is holding it down in LA. They kick off with Kalshi odds on a Tesla-SpaceX merger hitting 50%, then get into why ChatGPT shipping an ad manager is kind of a joke — they literally told Codex to build it. Eric Tilbury defines outcomes in a single sentence that should be written in stone. The conversation moves into why brands need more ads (not just better ones), how Gen Z doesn't subscribe to anything and just uses the algo, and why there are more car dealerships than car makers in the Fortune 500. James drops his Shopify thesis (it's a headless walled garden, not a SaaS business), they cover the Cameo x TikTok partnership, and close out with Spencer Pratt's AI-powered political campaign as a blueprint for creative. Plus: Duolingo's new Focus Mode that locks your apps, the data center land flip arbitrage, and why the future of AI is in the suburbs.
