Zuck’s Leaked Audio on Training AI, DraftKings CEO Goes Off & Why Your Feed Is Fake

This week on ADSN: Leaked audio from Meta's All Hands reveals Zuck is tracking employee usage to train AI models — with Alexander Wang in the room. The DraftKings CEO takes the gloves off on Kalshi and Polymarket's unsustainable CAC. Publicis acquires LiveRamp and agencies are officially becoming ad tech companies. Chinese brands are quietly buying up global consumer icons (Shein/Everlane, Luckin/Blue Bottle, ANTA/Salomon). Airbnb will have to embrace AI agents whether they like it or not. Plus: the feed is fake, prediction markets are easy to manipulate, and someone built an app to see your CPA on Meta Ray-Bans.
