👻 Snapchat's Second AI Play and The $1 Million AI Job - Did You Apply?

Morning everyone!

We had a question about why we changed the format.

First, we're building in public, so we're constantly iterating.

Second, AI newsletters are getting to be copypasta. We're doing something wrong if you can't tell us apart within a few seconds, and this new push is the first step towards separating us from the pack.

Overall we had great feedback on the new design, with several requests to add back the tools section, so we have four new tools before the daily Midjourney drop.

We'll keep playing with this format for the rest of the week and decide if it stays after a deep dive over the weekend.

It's Tuesday. Let's get it.
