Ever seen "Only 3 left in stock!" and felt that sudden urge to buy? 😅
When we perceive an item is rare or running out, our brains switch from "logical mode" to "survival mode." We instinctively assign more value to things that are hard to get. This triggers Loss Aversion.

This new McDonald's Ad in The Netherlands is entirely made with AI.
Is this slop marketing for slop food?

Super interesting to go back and view interviews with the people who built web 1.0 and 2.0
