Did Zapier just create the weirdest B2B growth play of the year?   This week on Notorious B2B, Tas and Tim get into the customer who legally changed his name to Zapier for lifetime access, the iced coffee job interview debate taking over LinkedIn, and Meta Muse going rogue on Facebook Marketplace.   And somehow, there’s more: OpenAI’s Dots release getting trolled, AI tech houses have become a thing, B2B trying to vibe code tool replacements, and a LinkedIn feature that got us excited even though it should’ve been table stakes years ago.   Somewhere between a legal document, an iced latte, and an AI agent giving out your address, B2B had a very normal week.   If you've got a take, drop it in the comments or send this to someone who needs it.   Timestamps: 00:00 Cold open 00:39 A customer legally changes his name to Zapier 04:54 AI tech houses and the AGI House story 10:21 OpenAI Dots, dot.com, and Grok 13:37 Meta Muse and cute AI agents 18:31 Meta Muse goes rogue on Facebook Marketplace 22:58 The iced coffee interviews debate 30:51 Jason Lemkin’s vibe-coded Calendly alternative 38:05 LinkedIn starts showing real post dates   Connect with the hosts: Tim Davidson - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tadavidson41 Tas Bober - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tasbober RESOURCES: LET'S NOODLE Elon Trolls OpenAI's "Dots" Launch Meta's Cute Muse The Iced Coffee Interview Interview With Sizzling Fajitas Vibe-Coding a Calendly+ SF's $10K AI Tech Houses Legally Changed His Name to Zapier   JUST FLAGGING LinkedIn Now Shows Real Dates on Posts Subscribe for more no-BS breakdowns of the internet's wildest B2B moments.

A Canva event interruption turned into AI backlash discourse, but that was only the start of this week’s B2B weirdness.   This week on Notorious B2B, Tas and Tim get into Dave Gerhardt’s viral quit-your-job post, why LinkedIn’s interest algorithm might be reading posts too literally, BattlBox saying $266K is missing after Braintree froze/suspended their account, and Gemini hacking three companies in a security test.    Plus some funny wholesome LinkedIn posts to balance out the crazy.  B2B remains deeply normal. Obviously.   Timestamps:  0:00 - Trailer: Canva's AI Event Gets Heckled 1:12 - Intro 2:56 - Canva's AI event gets heckled 9:15 - Dave Gerhardt's quit-your-job post 21:26 - Gemini hacks three companies in a security test 28:04 - AI model pricing updates 32:36 - LinkedIn's interest algorithm gets too literal 35:58 - BattlBox's frozen $266K with Braintree 38:01 - Closed-won LinkedIn chaos   Connect with the hosts: Tim Davidson - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/tadavidson41⁠ Tas Bober - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/tasbober⁠   Subscribe for more no-BS breakdowns of the internet’s wildest B2B moments.

What does the AI doomsday theory actually say? This week, Tas and Tim recap the scenarios behind the panic: loss of control, human misuse, bioweapons, nuclear war, missing safeguards, and why OpenAI and Anthropic are still building while warning everyone else to slow down.   Then they get into Bending Spoons buying Miro for $1.36B after already buying Airtable, and what happens when beloved B2B tools get scooped up at a fraction of their peak valuations.   Plus: the creator rate-card fight, brands lowballing influencers, why “we have other creators” can backfire, one truly cursed AI cold email, and LinkedIn math that refuses to math.   If you’ve got a take, drop it in the comments or send this to someone who needs it.   Timestamps: 0:00 - Trailer: The AI Doomsday Theory Explained 0:54 - Drive, INBOUND FOMO, and conference chaos 3:21 - The AI doomsday theory explained 14:45 - Bending Spoons buys Miro after Airtable 18:11 - Creator lowballing, rate cards, and brand reputation 30:07 - The AI cold email that showed the whole prompt 33:59 - Close Won: LinkedIn subject lines, Elon's resume, Teams hate, and broken analytics   Connect with the hosts: Tim Davidson - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/tadavidson41⁠ Tas Bober - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/tasbober⁠   Resources Urgent All Hands ⁠The AI Doomsday Debate⁠ ⁠Jensen Huang rejects a coordinated slowdown⁠⁠Update claude.md So It Won't Kill You⁠ ⁠Bending Spoons Buys Miro for $1.355B ⁠ Let's Noodle ⁠Lowballing Creators ⁠ Closed Won ⁠ Name in the Subject Line ⁠⁠Replace "How Was School"⁠ ⁠Guess the Résumé⁠ ⁠Baiting Engagement Under Bad Takes⁠⁠657 People, 39 Impressions⁠ ⁠Marketing Is 10x Harder Than Product⁠   Subscribe for more no-BS breakdowns of the internet’s wildest B2B moments.
