Reddit, Pinterest, Snap: The hidden AI players worth watching
Headline Venture Partner Kamran Ansari joins Asking for a Trend discuss investment opportunities beyond Big Tech in the artificial intelligence sector. Ansari notes that among Big Tech names, "it's an arms race" to get ahead in artificial intelligence, emphasizing that "they're investing for the future." He distinguishes between companies like Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), and Microsoft (MSFT), whose stocks are down as they invest in AI to resell through client services, versus Meta Platforms (META), whose stock is up as they invest further in AI for internal use. However, he highlights smaller social media platforms Pinterest (PINS), Reddit (RDDT), and Snap Inc. (SNAP). "Those are smaller companies that are not in this arms race," he explains, adding that for them, "the name of the game is eyeballs" as they focus on monetizing their existing user bases. Watch the full video above to hear Ansari's outlook on DeepSeek's impact on the AI market.

The Tree Gets Poisoned
The DOJ moved to drop charges against three prominent people on Wednesday: two Trump employees charged in the Mar-a-Lago records case, and ex-Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE). None of these cases were political prosecutions. The Mar-a-Lago defendants were charged for allegedly helping Trump illegally retain national defense records while out of office; Fortenberry was fighting a 2022 conviction on lying to the FBI and concealing foreign campaign contributions. The DOJ is set to be run by some of the attorneys who defended Trump in his criminal cases. They include Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, nominated for the number two and three spots. All this sends an important signal, one that Trump himself made explicit in a Truth Social post: 'I am very proud of our Department of Justice, something I have not been able to say for many years!' The signal is that Trump has the power to stop (and potentially start) any criminal case. Nobody else in modern American history has really wielded this power in the way that we're likely to see over the coming months and years. We are beginning to see the fruit of that poison tree. In countries with corrupt prosecution systems, whether or not someone is under indictment does not send a clear signal about them. It may very well be that an indictment, if anything, is positive: evidence of an independence or unwillingness to bow down to an autocrat. That's no reason to avoid general skepticism of prosecutors, but it's the kind of shift that makes it harder to discern what is real and what is bogus. Take the prosecution of ex-Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), sentenced on Wednesday to 11 years in prison. The saga of Gold Bars Bob was a real public corruption case. We covered it. But it highlights the issue: ending real cases and bringing fake ones makes it very difficult to tell who is actually a bad actor.
