1. The Meta/Apple privacy cold war is at a critical point. The two companies have long feuded with each other. Its CEOs even have a history of making snipes at each other. But Meta has always been the beta to Apple's alpha, since it depends on Apple's platform for people to use Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Apple's 2021 privacy changes cut Meta off from user information. This hampered Meta's data-driven advertising model. And it shows in the bottom line.
Mark Zuckerberg's push into the metaverse was meant to help him escape from Apple's clutches. By creating his own platform, his companies could continue accessing the user information that its data-driven advertising model depended on.
But experts told my teammate Paayal Zaveri that Meta needs to entirely reinvent its advertising model to escape Apple.

7. ChatGPT is a con artist — we're suckers for trusting it. Chatbots aren't intelligent. They're liars, writes my colleague Adam Rogers. The chatbots have zero authority, yet spew statements with pure certainty. Adam breaks down how we've all been deceived.
8. An ex-Googler reveals why the tech giant is floundering. The search giant is a victim of its own success, according to former Googler Praveen Seshadri. He witnessed the "gradual decay of a dominant empire" while working there. These are the company's "core cultural problems."
10. Millionaires are finding the American Dream outside of the country. The rich aren't moving abroad for tax evasion. They're searching for the American Dream, according to a new report. Taxing the rich, gun violence, and other issues are driving them away. Dive into the exodus here.
