    For Google Ads peeps, looks like Discovery campaigns are being auto-upgraded to Demand Gen.


    3 developmental fields at the top of my interest list:

    • Chips (especially for AI)
    • Batteries
    • Nuclear

    On #1, OpenAI is thinking about entering the chip game.

    It would make sense, and make them comparable to the other mega-platform players with custom chip ops (Apple, Amazon, Google, (Meta?), etc).

    I wonder if Cerebras was the acquisition target.


    X (Twitter) is desperate for money since Elon has been scaring off advertisers. If you can’t get paid directly, why not get that money indirectly? (Deception fits the current playbook perfectly.)

    Enter: Google Display Network

    advertisers will be able to tap into the X home feed inventory through Google Ads Display campaigns

    Potentially more importantly for you, you can exclude the placement.

    If you’ve enabled Google Signals for your property, simply disable “Include Google Signals in Reporting Identity” on the Admin’s Data Collection page.

    Turning this option off helps to minimize data thresholding if your property uses Belnded or Observed reporting identity.

    Apple has all the pieces for it’s own search engine. It just needs the appetite to give up $8B in guaranteed money from Google each year.

    AI might be the catalyst. Models are built on data, and big companies aren’t going to want to share. (Plus, any antitrust action may make Big G less likely to shell out.)

    Think about a Spotlight search experience built on full, cross-app/web indices and connections to various inputs types with a chat-like interface. All built on Apple’s privacy reputation. (And Apple’s adtech stack, of course.)
