Good evening!
If you’ve been waiting for an AI-led browser experience, today’s your lucky day.
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🪄 Disney & Universal are Suing Midjourney Over Copyright Violations
AI might not be getting a happily ever after tale. Disney and Universal are suing Midjourney for allegedly generating unauthorized images of copyrighted characters like Elsa, Darth Vader, and the Minions. The studios are seeking damages, a jury trial, and an injunction, accusing the AI company of being a “quintessential copyright free‑rider” that ignored cease‑and‑desist requests. (The Verge)
2. 🧠 Smart eComm CEOs Are Already Switching

4. 🐌 What’s Really Slowing Early-Stage Growth
The biggest bottleneck for early-stage growth isn't product—it's the GTM playbook.
Founders know what messaging works, but scaling it is slow and expensive. A new class of AI tools now codifies that founder-led magic, turning real-time market signals into personalized, on-brand outreach. It’s how you scale pipeline before you scale headcount.
5. 👨💼 Google Appointed DeepMind’s CTO as Chief AI Architect
