Brief Buzz: The entertainment world is split on AI. While studios and labels strike AI partnerships, artists are pushing back—loudly—against how generative tools are trained and used. The result: a growing cultural standoff over creativity, consent, and control. - A new petition, "Stealing Isn't Innovation," backed by Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, R.E.M., and Jodi Picoult, protests AI training on copyrighted work without permission, led by the Human Artistry Campaign.
- Artists accuse AI firms of "illegal mass harvesting" of creative content to build billion-dollar models.
- Hollywood figures launched the Creators Coalition on AI to coordinate industry-wide responses to AI's growing role.
- Meanwhile, music is leaning in: ElevenLabs unveiled The Eleven Album, co-created with artists like Liza Minnelli and Art Garfunkel.
- YouTube CEO Neal Mohan says AI can be a "boon to creatives"—if responsibly managed, as outlined in YouTube's vision for 2026.
Why Should You Care? This debate will decide who gets paid, who gets credit, and how creative work survives in the AI era. The rules set now could protect artists—or quietly reshape culture without them. | | 📰 Organizing Your Agents to Work Better Together 
Brief Buzz: Teams of AI agents sound like a productivity multiplier, but a new Stanford paper suggests the opposite can happen. The key takeaway: multi-agent systems need org design, not just more agents—otherwise weak outputs get "averaged in" and drag performance down. (Stanford paper on agent teams underperforming) - Agent teams can underperform solo experts: LLM teams scored up to 37.6% worse than their best member because they blended strong + weak answers instead of deferring to the "expert" agent. (Stanford study results)
- StrongDM's "Software Factory" flips the script: humans set intent + structured specs, agents own domains, and automated verification replaces human code review. (Simon Willison's breakdown of Software Factory)
- Google's Addy Osmani recommends sub-agents for focused work and full teams only for cross-domain tasks—because a five-agent team can mean ~5× token burn. (Claude Code agent teams explained)
- A practical start: add an AGENTS.md to a high-traffic repo defining ownership, handoffs, and "what good looks like," then iterate from results.
Why Should You Care? As AI starts doing more real work, the edge won't be "more agents"—it'll be people who can set crisp goals, verify outputs, and manage delegation. That's quickly becoming a core workplace skill. (Management as an AI superpower) | | 🛠️ How to Build an AI Sales Objection Handler That Closes Deals 
In this guide, you'll learn how to turn your growing collection of sales call transcripts into something genuinely actionable. This simple weekly workflow transforms raw transcripts into a structured, easy-to-scan reference document you can use to handle objections more effectively. Step-by-step: 1. Set up your project
Create a ChatGPT Project named "Sales Objections" and upload a text file listing your product lines, pricing, and core offers so the AI clearly understands what you sell. 2. Configure project instructions
Go to Instructions in project settings and paste: "Read the attached transcripts. Create a weekly report template. For every objection: Number the objection, State the objection clearly, Provide 3 descriptive bullets on the context, List which lead or prospect surfaced it, Provide two short, punchy rebuttals." 3. Upload transcripts weekly
Each week, upload your call transcripts (ensuring they include the date and name of the client), then open a new thread and instruct it to create the report. 4. Organize inside Notion
Open a blank Notion page, create a "Toggle Heading" for the week (e.g., "Week of Feb 9"), and paste the ChatGPT output inside the toggle. 💡 Pro Tip: Use a consistent naming structure for every transcript before uploading (for example: ClientName_Date_CallType) so ChatGPT can more easily identify trends, segment objections, and generate sharper weekly insights over time. | | 📸 AI Generator Images: Games
