Good Evening!
Everyone knows Brooklyn is the new Palo Alto.
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🗽 New York is the New Top Market For Tech Talent
Start spreading the news. For the first time, New York’s office market is home to the most tech workers, in large part thanks to AI. A new report from CBRE found New York’s 394k+ tech jobs pushed out the San Francisco Bay Area’s 375k+ jobs, the first time NYC has taken the lead in the 13 years of the analysis. (CNBC)
2. 💸 Are you currently spending on Meta and/or Google ads?
You're probably leaving tons of ROI on the table by not:
1. Making your ads more pain-point driven
2. Structuring your ad campaigns for true scale
3. Optimizing the post-click experience (because people will spend 5X more time consuming your landing page than your ad)
…well, that's exactly what my team and I do at Max's Media Buyers to the tune of $100,000,000+ in attributable ad revenue generated through profitable ad funnels. Let us audit your account and see just how much money your current ad person/team is leaving on the table.
3. 💬 ChatGPT Can Now Read & Respond To All Of Your iMessages
Your next iMessage convo could be powered by ChatGPT. OpenAI just launched a feature that allows the chatbot to control iMessage, reading, writing and sending texts for users, as well as fetching information from conversations and summarizing them. Users will have to actively consent to the new offering. (Bloomberg)
4. 🙏 Need a killer hire but can't justify a $150,000 salary?
I'll place an A-Player with years of experience doing exactly what you need them to do... for a fraction of the salary and recruiting fee of a US employee.
I've built multiple 7-figure-a-year businesses with large teams of Eastern European talent that continually overdeliver. Time zones, taxes, and communication are no longer an issue when hiring overseas!
5. 🦾 Broadcom is Seeking Up to $80Bn in Debt to Finance Anthropic AI Chips
Chip designer Broadcom is reportedly in talks with lenders about securing $70-80 billion in debt to fund a chip financing arrangement benefitting AI companies, including Anthropic. The deal could include a roughly $30 billion junior tranche and a senior-secured tranche ranging from about $60-70 billion. (Quartz)
6. 😬 Over One Million Users Have Clicked LinkedIn’s AI Slop Button
Apparently, LinkedIn’s new “Seems like AI slop” button is getting a lot of traction. The button, which the social platform announced on July 30th, has had “over a million people” click on the button, according to its Chief Product Officer. As a result, users are overall “now experiencing 40% less views on what [they] classify as AI slop from just a few weeks ago.” (The Verge)

But it seems they’ve changed their minds, now accepting the payments and adding Tap to Pay as payment options at Walmart and Sam’s Club locations beginning August 24. (TechCrunch)
