I break down the structural flaw in their AI narrative, including that a 400 million dollar Perplexity partnership collapsed, CFO guidance excluded the rollout, and the firing came the next day. I argue Snap outsourced its AI strategy and built disconnected, siloed teams instead of a unified foundation model. I share my D5 Diagnostic framework and the sequence they skipped, and I ask you to book a free 15 minute structural teardown and consider the D5 audit if it fits.</description></oembed>
