Joe and Robert break down Mary Meeker's "Future of AI" report and discuss the biggest opportunities and threats for marketers and creators in the future.

Disney sues Midjourney in yet another lawsuit against AI companies. When will it stop and why should we care?

And Meta invests $15 billion more in AI, trying to catch up in the AI race.

In winners and losers, Joe discusses how to get found in AI searches and Robert talks about the failed mainstream media with the LA coverage.
