AI rumors are getting weirdly specific this week, and the ripple effects are already showing up in places you probably are not watching closely enough. Along the way, Jay Schwedelson connects the dots between LinkedIn suddenly becoming an AI citation machine, ChatGPT testing ads, and a major Constant Contact acquisition that hits close to home. Then it takes a sharp turn into a very firm new rule about movie runtimes and the reality show everyone is apparently addicted to.
