What’s Up THIS WEEK: Big Em Dash News!🫢...

GURU Media Hub
About this episode

Getting ready for Thanksgiving has nothing on the chaos swirling around AI, privacy rules, and even Instagram trying to make you watch 20-minute reels. Before the turkey coma hits, Jay Schwedelson digs into everything from the death of the em dash to Google’s sneaky new flight deal superpower, plus a few very strong opinions on Netflix holiday movies. Somehow it all ties together in a way that’ll make your week a little smarter and a lot funnier.

Best Moments:

(00:00) ChatGPT finally admits the M dash problem and promises to stop abusing it

(01:41) Europe’s Digital Omnibus plan could loosen GDPR and ease cookie consent madness

(03:28) Instagram quietly tests 20-minute reels, and Jay cannot handle it

(04:00) Google’s AI-powered flight deals tool is officially rolled out and wildly useful

(05:17) Three preheader words that just boosted email open rates by 19 percent

(06:44) Jay’s brutally honest reviews of The Beast in Me and Merry Little Ex Christmas
