Reese Witherspoon’s AI Take, Builder.ai’s Flameout, and Instagram's iPad App

Comms pro Cristin Culver joins Meme Team to dissect Austin, TX's universally-dragged logo rollout, Reese Witherspoon’s shallow AI talking points (and how to master the PR art of bridging), and the Builder.ai collapse (aka why your ship-to-yap ratio matters). We also hit Instagram’s long-awaited iPad app, Threads’ watermarking, HBO’s latest rename spree, and Apple’s just-announced iPhone Air — with a through-line on hype vs. product and why social media is now entertainment first.

09:30: Reese Witherspoon's missed opportunity to discuss the future of AI and filmmaking

18:03: No seriously, THIS is why women should be using AI...

23:50: What went wrong at Builder.ai

35:30: Humane's outcome

38:39: Apple Vision Pro (and their content misses)
