Show Notes

Today the AI era sent its bill — and it landed on go-to-market teams. Meta posted 28% revenue growth but missed on earnings as its AI capital spending ballooned toward $145B, a warning shot for anyone budgeting ad spend. We also cover the xAI–Minnesota lawsuit that puts platform liability for AI-generated content on the table (with the EU AI Act's Article 50 disclosure rules going live August 2), Cyera's $1B bet on securing the identities of your AI agents, the OpenAI "rogue agent" breach that turned out to be far bigger than first reported, Cognizant's push to close the pilot-to-production gap, and an open letter from 1,100+ frontier-lab employees asking to slow AI down. Hosted by Jack King.
