Summary

Major update - I have launched a video version of this show! In today's episode, Meta rolled out their latest AI updates but that included the ability for anyone to generate any AI images from anyone's Instagram posts. If you don't want that, I explain how to prevent it by going into the Instagram settings. Additionally the YouTube team has updates for Shorts and Account Status, and the Edits app has the ability to put images and text behind you using layers.
