In April, House Representatives Jerry Nadler and Joaquin Castro wrote to Disney, Fox, and WBD about Venu Sports' business. Last week, they followed up, deeming Venu Sports' response "insufficient" on collusion, privacy, and pricing concerns. Despite acknowledging Venu Sports' quick reply and offer to meet, they still found the responses lacking. Here's what they are asking for details on: - "Overall, we still have not received answers about the firewalls your companies may implement to prevent collusion; the precautions you may take to ensure consumer privacy; or the methods you may use to determine pricing of the new service. Some of the vague assurances you have provided strike us as contradictory. For example, we find it difficult to understand how your companies can both promise not to share competitively sensitive information and also evaluate the success of the joint venture on a company-by-company basis. Your repeated assertion that the details of the joint venture have not yet been finalized is also hard to believe, given that the joint venture is projected to roll out in mere months."

ICYMI check out the in-depth review by PR publication Sword and the Script Media, LLC about why Propel PRM has become the top innovator and smart alternative to legacy (aka mediocre!) PR software In Frank Strong's words, "That said, while I strive to be agnostic, and fair, I don’t dish out praise lightly. Yet now and then a software product comes along and makes an impression. Recently Propel, an Israeli PR software startup, has done just that." https://lnkd.in/d9qPP5Bh #PR #PublicRelations #PRM #AI

Carl's #thoughtleadership around transformative tech, especially at the intersection of #media, #entertainment, and #tech has provided critical insights around the impact of #AI and what it means for the industry, so we can make better, more informed decisions. His piece here on the future of media, through the lens of a #journalist, is why we need #news sources that offer different point of views, straight from the source, and why #journalism can't be replaced. Check out his latest beat on how AI is impacting the #publishing industry:

Publishers frustrated with Perplexity AI's unauthorized access and copyright infringement, as the California-based AI search startup faces backlash from major publishers. Concerns raised about privacy, copyright, and brand damage.

I'm generally supportive of the PET sub-sector, which is innovating not only to protect personal privacy, but to preserve the commercial model that underlies digital, and especially open-web programmatic advertising. It does, however, worry me when browser and device companies are in the privacy and data protection driver's seat. This approach is likely to mean more fragmentation, which makes it harder for brands and publishers to coordinate their audience addressability and measurement across media types, platforms and devices. It also creates an economic unevenness that has nothing to do with the actual value of an audience (see exhibit A: cookieless Safari CPMs). By way of example, let's take a look at Google Privacy Sandbox. Notwithstanding the multiple millions of dollars of investment required of most of us in adtech, Sandbox was designed to work initially with Chrome and eventually Android. That's nice, but totally unhelpful for brands and publishers that want to protect audiences using Safari, Firefox or any app in the iOS environment. And what about CTV? Mozilla is in a totally different category than Google, and as Allison reports, "... but as to whether Anonym will create any privacy-focused technology specifically for Firefox, Mozilla’s web browser, nothing’s been planned yet." Nonetheless, I think a degree of independence and cross-platform capabilities is key if we're going to succeed in preserving the value of trusted personal data relationships.

Fresh off a studio session discussing privacy, measurement, AI and growth, I'm contemplating the balance between innovation and privacy. Although 57% are wary of AI's impact on individual privacy, responsible AI use can actually enhance privacy by shifting away from user-level data. What’s concerning is that while 83% of companies consider AI a top priority in 2024, there’s a massive gap in confidence when it comes to managing privacy risks. To really harness the power of AI for growth, it's important not to forget about privacy and trust. We’re exploring some large scale consumer research later this year which will delve into the trifecta of AI, performance, and privacy, but I’d love to hear from you all on how we can try and achieve this delicate balance. What strategies have you seen work or are you testing? Share any thoughts/experiences in the comments below 👇 P.s. apologies to anyone subjected to my face on the big screen at Google Marketing Live 🙈 #AI #privacy #innovation #dataethics #data #measurement #growth

Our former Quartz colleague, Zach Seward, published a transcript of a recent talk at an Aspen Institute event entitled AI is not like you and me. Not only is it interesting to hear the perspective of someone with a long history at the intersection of journalism and technology, but Zach's views are particularly important given his current position as Editorial Director of AI Initiatives at The New York Times. In his talk, Zach criticises the anthropomorphism of AI, saying "...ascribing human qualities to AI is not serving us well. Anthropomorphizing statistical models leads to confusion about what AI does well, what it does poorly, what form it should take, and our agency over all of the above." I agree that anthropomorphizing can be dangerous, however, we do it, at times, to emphasize the fact that humans naturally see human traits in non-humans (just think of the way people describe their pets). And I think it's important to expand our understanding of ourselves beyond the anthropocentric to a more holistic embrace of our complex relationship with the natural and artifical world around us. #ai #artificialintelligence #generativeai #airesearch #complexity #chatgpt #complexchange #changemanagement #futureofwork #artificiality #mindforourminds https://buff.ly/44zXNB9

Zach Seward gave this talk today at an event on AI & The News hosted by Aspen Digital. The event was Chatham House Rules, but since Zach published it, and I appreciated it, I'm sharing it here. It's worth reading the whole thing. Come for Tillie the ATM blowing out birthday candles and stay for the provocative point. "AI is the most anthropomorphized technology in history, starting with the name—intelligence—and plenty of other words thrown around the field: learning, neural, vision, attention, bias, hallucination. These references only make sense to us because they are hallmarks of being human." "Anthropomorphizing AI not only misleads, but suggests we are on equal footing with, even subservient to, this technology, and there's nothing we can do about it." https://lnkd.in/eNfm2ckD

Little scheduling hot tip for my fellow indie consultants and friends who might be juggling multiple calendars! When I started consulting on my own, it was mostly NBD, I did everything from my personal gmail account. Then, things picked up and I realized I needed a separate calendar and inbox for my different projects that didn't get swallowed up by spam and newsletters and personal reminders. AND THEN, I took on my work as interim president at Rewire, and things got even more complicated calendar-wise. I used Calendly for a while, but the free version is only good for one calendar and one kind of scheduling link, and here I was managing three calendars and desperate for more options. The idea of creating duplicate appointments across all three calendars made me want to walk into the sea, so I started doing some research. That's when I found Reclaim.ai. And no, this is not a paid post, however if they are looking for influencers I AM AVAILABLE. This tool has changed my calendaring life, and that means a lot coming from a double Gemini/Cap rising. Not only has it helped me sync all three calendars, it also has three different types of meetings you can choose from when you send a scheduling link. The free version for individuals and sole-proprietors like me is so much more functional. And that's your Monday hot tip ;) https://reclaim.ai/

In today’s entertainment landscape, the underlying assets and IP rights used to create content are balkanized across media ecosystems, non-standardized file formats, and proprietary production pipelines. Studios of every stripe are therefore incentivized to keep both the solutions they use to create content and the rights to that content barricaded behind centralized walled gardens. As a result, fans are not only unable to experience a cohesive expression of a story that spans mediums but also deterred from building and monetizing on top of their favorite storyworlds. This current state of affairs is untenable in a real-time rendered 3D world where social media, gaming, and streaming video converge. That's the world we're entering into and the one I'm exploring next week. If you're interested, I'll be posting next Wednesday a new kind of framework for how real time teams can create content and experiences that transcend platforms, realities, and devices. I'll be posting every day with little updates ahead of release. I'm trying to ride a fine balance between getting the word out and avoiding air horns and finger guns. So, forgive me if I'm all elbows and knees here. I'm not the greatest at self-hype....Cheers! #FutureOfEntertainment

My high/lowlights from M&A advisory, RE investing, and life this past week… 💸 potential buyer of one of our IM tech clients backed out of its LOI and exclusive deal talks due to last minute change in exec approvals, but…it’s ok, there are other interested buyers, time to reengage them! Every M&A process must be prepped for this 🦵our team kicked off a new strategy assignment for an ad agency, and for me personally a new 1on1 coaching relationship with an emerging influencer agency ❌ I told my Savannah real estate agent I’m going to pause on bidding for new listings. I was spending so much time doing deal analysis, not winning any deals, and getting very frustrated. The market clearing prices just don’t make any sense to me, and I’m not ok with no cash flow for two years, hoping it will CoC in 2026. And then yesterday I saw multiple listings slash prices, as sellers realized the fed’s updated guidance this week meant they weren’t going to cut interest rates. Home prices are still high, but a better buyer season may be approaching. And during lunch yesterday an owner of 7,500 units, who’s been through 40 years of market cycles, told me he hasn’t bought since Dec 2021, that gave me a lot more confidence in being patient… 🤝 exploring a unique target M&A deal structure for a new client relationship. It’s complex but the potential deal has very strong combination logic. Look forward to helping bring some smart growth equity and financiers into the mix 😅 I’m a bit stretched. A lot going on! But I’m working on cool assignments, with good people, and continuing to learn every day. So we need help since our advisory demand is growing (we’re #hiring). But means I really look forward to my Italy-Slovenia-Croatia vacay end of May ;) 🥶 a property I bought last September now needs a new hvac. It was 19 years old. I knew it was going to happen, but it’s still not fun to get a $6,500 bill…but hopefully it will last for two decades, and now my tenant will have great AC for the upcoming Savannah season! 🎸 I saw Taking Back Sunday on Wednesday and am shortly departing to go see Finch, Bayside, and Armor for Sleep in downtown SD. Finch’s “What It Is To Burn” was my gateway drug into the post hardcore / punk / emo scene. I love seeing these bands still touring for now more than 2 decades! 🌮 had a great friends dinner at Casa de Bandini in Carlsbad last night (photo below). Similar to the above, we shared our highs and woes from the week. Best part? My friend gave me a new surf board to demo in the restaurant parking lot when we were talking out! …alright, time to head out for the show 💪🏼 —- I do m&a and strategy advisory at RockWater Industries, and invest in real estate on the side. My DM’s are open.

This article is really interesting. Perplexity AI, led by CEO Aravind Srinivas, is facing allegations of improperly using third-party crawlers to access content from websites that don't permit it. What's being alleged raises significant ethical questions about AI’s role in respecting digital boundaries. Inaccuracies in generated content and attribution issues further complicate the situation. I'd love to know your thoughts on AI and ethical content usage. #AI #ethicalAI https://lnkd.in/gQqcEwVM

We use a 4-step-method to prep a company for M&A exit. It's simple yet sophisticated. Let's break it down... (1) ORGANIZE OPS & FINANCE DATA • We use hard data to create a KPI dashboard, so we can understand where your biz is today, and where it's headed (2) IDENTIFY BIZ VALUE DRIVERS • We then assess how your biz is performing relative to mkt, and where the growth opportunities are (3) CONDUCT VALUATION • We normalize your financials for how a buyer would look at them. We then use M&A and public comps, and sometimes a DCF, to determine your mkt value (4) RECOMMEND M&A STRATEGY • There are different ways to run an M&A process. We custom design the auction based on seller goals, company performance, and market conditions We've honed this approach through... • $1 billion+ dealmaking experience • Full-time team of quant analysts, researchers • My own exit of an early digital media co / IM agency • 12 years of creator economy M&A and strategy experience...and 6 years of TMT Wall Street experience before that! ...makes us a unicorn advisor for the creator x media economies. Comment below with any M&A questions 👇 -- I'm the founder of RockWater Industries. We do M&A and strategy advisory for media, agencies, and creator economy. My DMs are open.

Business and advertising groups are demanding “significant changes” to a landmark federal #DataPrivacy bill slated for a markup this week. Last week a discussion draft of the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) circulated around Congress. The bill would allow individuals to opt out of targeted advertising, empower them to take civil action when their privacy rights are violated and replace the patchwork system of state-level data privacy legislation, among other provisions. The current version of the bill “would eviscerate the modern advertising industry” and “mandate an extreme anti-consumer, anti-advertising, and anti-data privacy regime,” said Association of National Advertisers CEO Bob Liodice and 4A's CEO Marla Kaplowitz. Learn about the changes they want to see in the bill here: https://lnkd.in/e99P9z9J

And voice synthesis just got amazingly better I wrote about voice cloning just one short week ago - about how OpenAI’s VoiceEngine could synthesize voice from a 15 second audio clip. Pretty amazing stuff. Welp, here we go again - Product Hunt yesterday featured Replica Studio’s new Voice Director which let’s you create unique voices in a Voice Lab, and export text to speech using the voices that you created. The demo is here: https://lnkd.in/gXna_g5v and it is fun to watch. I tried Voice Director and it’s pretty cool. Web-based (though they also have a downloadable app) Voice Lab is their lab for mixing and matching voices to synthesize new voices. The source voices come from professional voice actors. An intuitive web-based interface let’s you mix the voices together to synthesize new voices. You can save voices and then use them with text strings to generate voice. So simple; so cool. Also interesting is that Replica did a deal with SAG-AFTRA so that voice performers can work with Replica to create replications of their voices and get paid. From Replica’s release: “We license our training data from a growing network of voice actors, ensuring best practices around consent and compensation. We are honored to be the first AI company to partner with SAG-AFTRA, and pioneer AI licensing models that create new revenue streams for actors and talent.” The applications are many, but the gaming industry is absolutely going to go through massive change from voice engines like Replica and image/scene generators like Scenario.com, both of which have APIs. Now you can dynamically generate scenes, characters and voices and directly integrate into a game. Oh the times, they are a changing. This one is pretty cool.

NewsBreak, the top news app, recently published a completely fake story about a shooting in New Jersey. The culprit? AI-generated content. This isn't a one-off – their AI has been spreading misinformation, impacting charities and causing chaos. Key Points: Fake News: AI-created stories causing real harm. Poor Oversight: Lack of human review leads to mistakes. Data Concerns: Significant work done in China raises security issues.

My thanks to Fubo’s Co-Founder and CEO, David Gandler, who sat down with me for an in-depth discussion about their lawsuit filed against Disney, FOX, and WBD, its Q1 earnings numbers, industry challenges around content licensing pricing and bundling and Fubo’s goal to get to profitability in 2025. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/e5eYZFXT David defines antitrust, why Fubo believes the JV is anticompetitive and how the suit's outcome could impact the entire industry. We also highlight why so many carriage disputes are happening, leading to a fragmentation of sports content and an unfriendly fan experience. We discuss the pricing and bundling of vMVPD services, including how Fubo picks RSNs to work with and why pricing for OTT services never goes down. Finally, David recaps Fubo’s most recent earnings, including its subscriber growth numbers, lower net loss, the recent reduction of its debt, and Fubo's operating plan as they work towards profitability. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/e5eYZFXT -- #fubo #SVOD #AVOD #streamingmedia Disclaimer: I do not own any stock in Fubo, Disney, FOX or WBD.
