Meta Aims to Fully Automate Ad Creation Using AI

Social-media company Meta Platforms aims to enable brands to fully create and target ads using artificial intelligence (AI) by the end of next year.

Advertising makes up the bulk of Meta’s business—it brought in more than 97% of overall revenue in 2024—and funds its multibillion-dollar investments in AI chips and data centers, and for training cutting-edge AI models.

Using the ad tools Meta is developing, a brand could present an image of the product it wants to promote along with a budgetary goal, and AI would create the entire ad, including imagery, video and text. The system would then decide which Instagram and Facebook users to target and offer suggestions on budget. 

Meta also plans to enable advertisers to personalize ads using AI, so that users see different versions of the same ad in real time, based on factors such as geolocation. A person seeing an advertisement for a car in a snowy place, for example, might see the car driving up a mountain, whereas a person seeing an ad for that same car in an urban area would see it driving on a city street.

Here’s How to Buy SpaceX Stock

Over the weekend at SpaceX’s Starbase – a company town in South Texas – Elon Musk described the bold blueprint to make life multi-planetary. 

His roadmap to Mars includes: 1,000 fully reusable Starships, orbital refueling stations, one million tons of cargo delivered to Mars every two years, and a self-sustaining Martian city powered by Starlink, supplied by Earth, and designed for permanent human life.

It’s outrageous. It’s audacious. And yet, considering SpaceX is already launching rockets at record pace, producing them at scale (one every 2-3 weeks), and running the most successful satellite internet network on Earth – it’s not crazy anymore.

You can’t buy SpaceX stock yet. But you can get close. Accredited investors have access through secondary marketplaces. And retail investors can gain indirect exposure via funds like DXYZ or XOVR, or by betting on public space players like Rocket Lab.

None of these are perfect proxies. But they offer a rare chance to invest in the mission before a potential IPO.

Shoveling Sh*t: Entrepreneurs’ Secrets to a $700M Exit with Michael & Kass Lazerow

In this episode of The James Altucher Show, James reconnects with entrepreneurs Michael and Kass Lazerow, whose journey spans selling Golf.com for $24 million, launching and pivoting Buddy Media into a $700 million Salesforce acquisition, and now investing in breakout brands like Liquid Death. 

This episode isn’t about startup clichés—it’s about emotional resilience, firing with kindness, how marriage can (barely) survive co-founding, and how to spot a trend before the world does.

They break down their “Go Gauge,” the six-part test they use before investing in a company. They talk about the trauma of being betrayed by family. And they reveal the surprisingly simple cheat codes they’ve used to keep building—and keep loving each other—across decades of risk. 

Whether you're building a business, looking for one good idea, or wondering what failure really feels like behind closed doors—this episode will give you a few new answers.
