🤖 Shrimp Jesus & AI Art Take Over FB

Last week, an AI-generated image of “Shrimp Jesus” stormed Facebook, racking up millions of likes and shares. It’s not alone—Stanford researchers found hundreds of AI images pulling in huge engagement, often without users realizing they’re synthetic.
While the rest of the world is busy trying to identify “the next big thing”, Facebook seems to have found it already—AI-generated content.

Meanwhile, Picture Of The Year’s Facebook page got hacked for unknown reasons, but researchers suspect the spammers behind the breach are the same ones trying to peddle products and grow massive audiences by pushing people off-platform.

Facebook’s response? A shrug emoji
Despite promising to label AI-generated images last month, Meta has hardly flagged any so far. But here’s the kicker: Many users don’t even know they’re looking at AI creations.

With AI content creators gaining traction by getting recommended to users who’ve engaged with the tech-generated stuff before, it seems like a wild, wild west of unreal imagery. Will Meta lasso this issue or just let it ride?

🎬 Apollo Buys Paramount?

Apollo Global has reportedly offered $11bn to buy Paramount Pictures and the Paramount TV studios group.

The proposal apparently doesn’t include CBS, BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, MTV, Paramount+, or Pluto TV. Shari Redstone’s National Amusements owns a controlling stake in Paramount and has apparently been exploring a sale of some or all of the company.

Allen Media Group submitted an unsolicited $30bn acquisition offer for Paramount last month.

📷 Logitech Goes Creator 4K

Logitech’s new Mevo Core is a camera for the streaming age. It’s a tiny 4K box camera with 3 lens options, and it can wirelessly connect to Logitech’s other cameras.

At $999, it’s not cheap, but its ability to mix multiple camera angles on the fly could make it a hit with streamers looking for a more professional look.

Logitech’s known for its webcams, but with Mevo Core, it’s going after a different market.
