Episode notes
Meta Vibes As A Trojan Horse
- Meta Vibes is an AI-only short-video feed that normalizes synthetic content and provides engagement signals for AI training.
- The app can act as a Trojan horse to desensitize users and supply data for AI-driven ad products.
Labeling Makes AI Content Marketable
- An explicitly AI-labeled feed removes authenticity questions and may satisfy users who just want distraction.
- Marketers will likely adopt AI creative if labeling reduces risk of deceiving audiences.
Morning Routine Driven By Kids
- Stephanie's mornings begin when her kids wake her around 6:30–7:00am, not by alarm, and she readies them before starting work.
- She logs on by 9:30 if working from home and aims to arrive in-office by 10:00am when commuting.
