📅 Upcoming SaaS events stirring the pot

Threads tests long-form posts ✍️

Meta’s Threads app is testing a “text attachment” feature letting users share long-form posts instead of endless threads.

🚨 Breaking News:
Threads now allows long-form posts directly in the app, rivaling X’s “Articles” but free for all (for now).

⚡ Wire Simplified

• Users can attach longer text blocks with styling tools.

• Helps writers, creators, and newsletter folks share ideas easily.

• Competes with X’s “Articles,” which are behind a paywall.

• Threads feature is currently text-only, but media could come later.

• Threads already has 400M+ monthly active users vs X’s 600M+.

✔️ Straight to the Point
Threads wants to keep creators happy by making it easier to post long content. X should probably keep watching its back.

Will Smith’s “AI crowd” video goes viral 🤖🎤

Actor Will Smith shared a concert video showing massive cheering crowds but fans think the footage looks suspiciously AI-made.

🚨 Breaking News:
Will Smith’s tour video sparked outrage after fans spotted “glitched” faces and odd details, accusing him of faking support with AI.

⚡ Wire Simplified

• Video shows cheering fans with weird hands and distorted faces.

• Fans accused Smith of using AI to fake hype.

• Smith has old posts proving those fans exist in real life.

• Likely a mix of real footage and AI-generated edits.

• Still, audiences feel misled, comparing it to autotune or Photoshop.

✔️ Straight to the Point
Even if Will Smith didn’t fake his fans, trust once broken is hard to rebuild. AI edits in music = risky business.
