Android 17: Still an OS at heart, but marketed as an intelligence system

Google used its IO edition to frame Android 17 as an 'intelligence system' powered by Gemini, promising AI-driven automation and smarter features across apps and services.

Lego Batman’s Frame-Gen 30fps Debacle Highlights Flawed PC Specs Marketing

Digital Foundry critiques Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight’s PC specs sheet for listing a 1080p 30fps base with frame generation, which would imply a native ~15fps and heavy upscaling; argues this misleads players, calls for a clearer native target (ideally ~60fps) and more transparent hardware requirements even when frame-boosting tech is used, and notes the marketing misstep while planning to test real-world performance on PC and consoles.

Olivia Dunne Lights Up Miller Lite Marketing as Bud Light Falters

An OutKick opinion piece argues beer marketers are returning to image-driven campaigns after a woke-era misstep, praising Olivia Dunne’s role with Miller Lite while criticizing Bud Light for not featuring female celebrities and calling for more Glamour-sport integrations. It cites Axios’ claim that woke marketing cost at least $28 billion in market value and notes the broader culture clash, including references to Nancy Mace and Ivanka Trump, as context for the marketing debate. The piece suggests such emotionally resonant advertising can revive engagement, while Bud Light’s current strategy is portrayed as failing.

Young Founders Bet on Viral Fame to Fuel Growth

Young Founders Bet on Viral Fame to Fuel Growth

A wave of young startup founders are leaning into personal branding and daily TikTok/Instagram videos to attract users and investors, turning themselves into influencers alongside their products. Examples include Cerca founder Miles Slayton, Selleb cofounders Claire and Chloe Lee, Corner cofounder Eliza Wu, and BiteSight founder Lucious McDaniel IV. In the attention economy, building in public and direct media presence are becoming essential tools—supported by VC interest in founders’ narratives and the idea that attention is a moat. But virality is no guarantee of success: it can burn teams, distract from product work, and may not lead to durable growth without sustainable retention and monetization.
