Italy just blocked Meta's plan to ban Meta AI competitors from WhatsApp.
Flew to Rome last week to present our case to the Italian Competition Authority.
Only three companies in the room:
@Meta, @Interaction, and @OpenAI.
When I read Meta's defense of "AI is putting a strain on our systems", I knew we'd win this.
We literally pay Meta for WhatsApp API usage – that's how WhatsApp makes money. Whether messages are user-to-user (free) or AI-to-user (paid!) makes zero technical difference.
It would be in the best interest of WhatsApp to have https://t.co/l3zQEGLg46 on their platform – If it wasn't for an independent business line called Meta AI, just like it would be better for Apple to ban Spotify and only allow Apple Music on iOS.
Italy agreed: "Groundless."
Both Italy and the European Commission (EC) are moving at unprecedented speeds:
It's 1 of just 5 antitrust cases opened by the EC this year, and just like with USB-C, they are acting in the best interest of the consumer.
Now we're hopeful Italy's decision sets the precedent for EU-wide interim measures before Meta's ban takes effect on Jan 15.
Free markets and competition won today.
Let the people choose which AI they wanna use.
The day I got my first seven-figure job, sleep refused to come. I just kept walking around my room, thinking about how my life had finally turned. I told myself, this is it. No more soaking garri every night .
I went out and bought peppered chicken and turkey on credit because I knew my seven figure was coming 🤣🤣🥹🤭, all the things I used to look at from afar. I sat down and ate everything with joy. Even my music changed. I moved from Billie Eilish to Joy Is Coming by Fido 🤭🤣 like my spirit knew something big had shifted.
Later, I spent my first 100k and looked at my balance. The money was still plenty, and it kept growing. I went to parts of the store I used to only admire. I picked up a bottle of wine I once feared to check the price of, and for the first time, I realized I could afford it without thinking twice. 🤭😭😭😭😆
That night, I slept like a baby. It was the kind of peace that touches your chest.
To my newbies I pray you taste that feeling soon.
Tech money 🤭🤭
