Versant boosts 2026 outlook on platforms momentum

Versant Media Group beat Q2 expectations with EPS of $1.49 on revenue of $1.64B and lifted its 2026 guidance to $6.2–$6.45B in revenue and $1.9–$2.05B in adjusted EBITDA, led by platform businesses (Fandango, GolfNow) and stronger ad demand, even as linear TV revenue fell on subscriber declines. The company completed a $100M accelerated share repurchase, plans another $100M ASR, and maintained a quarterly dividend of 37.5 cents, while pursuing diversification beyond traditional TV through digital, platform and potential acquisitions (including Bundesliga rights).

Superhuman’s AI bet tests attribution, copyright and creator monetization

In a wide-ranging interview, Shishir Mehrotra explains Superhuman (formerly Grammarly)’s AI-powered productivity suite and Go platform, their philosophy of embedding AI into work, and how a controversial Expert Review feature that used reporters’ names without permission sparked backlash and a lawsuit before being scrapped; they discuss the line between attribution and impersonation, the economics of an agent marketplace with a 70/30 split, and how the creator economy might adapt to AI through new business models and platform dynamics, while acknowledging ongoing legal and policy uncertainties in copyright and likeness as AI tools scale.

Carmack’s Oculus Playbook: A Pragmatic VR Platform Strategy

John Carmack’s 2015 memo to Oculus leaders argues for a pragmatic, platform-first VR strategy: avoid an expensive standalone hardware path, leverage Facebook’s infrastructure and a robust app store, push for consumer software delivered at practical scale, support a mix of 2D/VR content, and pursue mobile expansion. He critiques over-ambitious “box” plans, emphasizes leveraging existing tech like Steamworks, and urges Oculus to be a scrappy, consumer-focused software company that prioritizes rapid feature delivery and a broad, sustainable ecosystem over grand but uncertain initiatives.
