The boys return with a cornucopia of news.
TikTok returns (or did it?). We discuss what is really going on with the Chinese-owned app, whether a US company will buy them, and which one actually will.
In other news, Instagram is throwing money at creators (but needs a real model), while META goes from moderated news to community news (but not for ads).
In winners and losers, Edelman is out with their Trust Barometer, and Andrew Ross Sorkin has tomorrow's media model.
In rants and raves, Anthropic's CEO predicts the future and the only good news coverage of the LA fires was local.
