While the world gets distracted by Scarlett Johansson's possible case against OpenAI, the AI giant continues to do deals with media companies. 

This time, Open AI signed a deal with News Corp (owners of WSJ) for $250 million over five years (reported). Who's next?

Trump Media's quarterly reported was more than a disaster, and yet the stock keeps going up.

And we have a nice disagreement about whether Chick-fil-A should embrace or fire their internal social media influencers. 

Hits and misses include GaryVee's new book and Coca-Cola lens.

Rants and raves include content marketing platforms and a nice rave for the Cleveland Guardians baseball team.

If you don't get the title, stay until the end.

In this episode, Joe and Robert discuss what's happening at CES, including the role of the creator/influencer inside a media company.

Netflix, Instagram and Amazon all make major streaming cutbacks. Is this just "right sizing" the business, or is everyone trying to figure out how to compete with TikTok?

In rants and raves, it's the end of the third-party cookie on Google, and a new sports bar opens with access to sports from women athletes only.

It's here! The annual episode where Robert and Joe predict everything that will not go right in the content marketing and media world. This year, the boys predict:

  • A social media collapse - TikTok and YouTube see big surges as the waves of the strike Tsunami hit.
  • AI goes mainstream and actually starts to earn its keep – but NOT in creating externally focused content  but rather conversational Advertising and behind the scenes marketing work.
  • Brands go "all in" on owned media  - especially video.
  • Local news and journalism make a big comeback.
  • At least three, major brands launch new, shiny print publications and send them through the post.
  • X will see a huge advertising turnaround (due to the fact that most everyone left). More eyeballs for less dollars.
  • Newsletters will continue their hot stream, led by creator referral networks, and you'll see more creators stop producing their lagging podcasts.
  • More AI-driven news networks continue to launch, followed by an AI running for president in 2028.

Elon Musk's remarks at the recent Dealbook conference show (inconclusive) evidence that he is actually trying to lower X's valuation to such a point to where he can buy the company back (from debtors) at pennies on the dollar.

Synthetic (AI) content is on the rise. Google is having major problems with it, and some (experts) say that over 90 percent of all content will be AI generated by 2026.

And finally, should creators (and marketers) start thinking about protecting their digital likeness? The boys say yes.

Rants and raves include an interesting move by Weibo and Google paying off publishers.

A special 400th episode of This Old Marketing. And yes, the boys are getting up there!

Joe and Robert discuss AI announcements by the US President and Microsoft (launching of Copilot), as well as Google integrating AI into search. For AI to work well, it needs to be working from a correct set of information. Is that the case or should we be worried?

Elon holds a company meeting and talks about X doing almost everything. It's too bad that Apple and Google have a head start in this area.

And Disney buys out the rest of Hulu. Good thing? Regardless, Disney is having operational challenges.

Rants and raves include Joe's new website, IP addresses and Omnicom buying Flywheel.

Breaking news as X year-over-year numbers plummet. Can the Elon-run social media site recover?

Meta, and more specifically Instagram, is being sued by 33 states. The charge? That the company repeatedly misled the public about the dangers of being on their platform.

Joe and Robert discuss the sad truth: Meta puts profits (and addiction) ahead of the future of America. Done and done.

And finally, new research suggests that trust in media is at an all-time low (and getting worse by the minute). But there is an opportunity.

Rants and raves include the B2B creator, TikTok launches an event, and new DC funding for local news.

Tucker Carlson makes his well-telegraphed move to media company (we called this). What can creators and marketers learn from the move?

And marketers are as tense as ever. Is this temporary or just stating the obvious?

Social media sites have been making changes for years that are hurting traffic to media and brand sites. The latest data will bring chills to your web analytics manager.

At the same time, X is making some ridiculous moves, including rolling out a new "advertising" program, discouraging links in posts, and barring Linda Yaccarino from any more speaking events.

And finally, is Ryan Reynolds responsible for the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce hookup? Find out the truth today.

Rants and raves include more on the writers' and actor's strike and a fresh take from Joe on the movie "Dumb Money".

X CEO Linda Yaccarino does the company no favors with her interview at Vox's CODE conference. Ads are down. Usage is down. The only thing that can save X might be Linda's couch pants.

Google podcasts is no more. Alphabet decides to cancel the podcast player and move resources over to YouTube. Good move?

And new research is out about who exactly is paying for subscriptions these days. What works and what doesn't?

Rants and raves include US student debt and the end of the writers' strike.

Which marketing trend died out faster than expected, and which one will come back?

Which company/organization is doing content best today?

Other than AI, what the next thing in content marketing?

If you had to start over from scratch - no network, connections, favors, etc... and you had $10K to build a cash flow positive business making six figures within one year, what would you do and how would you do it?

If you weren't on your own - Which business would you go to work for, and why?

Oh boy is TikTok in the news this week.

Now more than 150 million Americans use TikTok on a regular basis. The US government believes this is a security risk for multiple reasons. But most people aren't talking about the #1 reason (we discuss this).

Streaming is down from its lofty levels. Will it continue to dip? We think it might. Is there a new streaming model on the way?

And social media is going the way of the DM. What does this mean for marketers?

In rants and raves, Joe raves about Rand Fishkin's ChatGPT rant while Robert rants (again) about zero-party data.

TikTok is all over the news again. This time, a bipartisan committee has come up with a bill for Biden to ban TikTok. But not just that. It will give executive powers to ban pretty much anything that they "deem" a security risk. Joe and Robert believe this bill goes too far.

In other news, Medium makes a "meh" announcement about Mastodon, while this week just about every major tech company launched an AI product.

Oh...and tech pub Wired wrote a manifesto for using AI. And it's not bad.

With Joe on another sabbatical, Robert hosts the amazing Paul Roetzer, the world's foremost expert on marketing and AI content. Robert asks Paul the following:

1. How do you think the development of AI-based search affects brands willingness to make content available to search engines? Will people start putting more of their content behind a gate?

2. From a content and marketing perspective – where are you most BULLISH, and where are you most CONCERNED about the impact AI is likely to have in the short and medium term?

3. I’m going to come back to the question that I asked at MarketingProfs, which is – do you think MarketingAI becomes an OS in the Marketing Department?  In other words you Buy Microsoft AI or Amazon AI and it powers your email analytics, headline writing, copywriting, and first-party data pattern matching… OR… Do you think that suite solutions are more likely to just include whatever flavor of AI they buuild into their applications?

4. What are some of the developments in Marketing Artificial Intelligence that we’re NOT talking about? You posted a very interesting thing on Social Media on the assembly and creation of video (https://research.runwayml.com/gen1)- Talk a bit about this development and what ELSE are we NOT talking about that we should be.

In this episode, Time and Taboola team up (is that Timeboola?) for a new eCommerce experiment. Is eCommerce the new sponsorship for publishers?

The disinformation war is over. Disinformation won.

And AI content is changing the business model for creators and the fight for search. Does this open a real opportunity for those who have audiences? Is AI content just a race to the bottom?

In rants and raves, Joe loves this new research out about reading fiction, while Robert's viral post on the comma goes, well, viral.
