Happy Tuesday, Future Party. Here’s something metal — Metallica helped drive 40,000 blood donations worldwide last year, according to the American Red Cross. Even more incredible, 16% were first-time donors, and half of those were between the ages of 16 and 24. Rock and roll really does save lives.

Mark Zuckerberg Is Cloning Himself
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that he’s developing his own personal AI agent to help him with his job.
The Big Picture: Meta is reinventing itself for the age of AI, pushing employees to build their own AI tools, autonomous agents, and other use cases that streamline tasks and could potentially lower headcount. By developing his own AI agent for official company use, Zuckerberg is showing he’s not afraid to lead the charge… for better or worse.
Behind The C-Suite: Zuck is getting a co-CEO — himself.
According to The WSJ, he’s currently developing the AI agent — reportedly even writing the code himself.
It’s already helping him collect information faster, such as retrieving answers he would typically have to obtain by going through layers of people.
Final Render: Meta’s use of AI has really taken off over the past year, especially as the company has acquired startups like Moltbook and Manus, and employees regularly use tools like My Claw and Second Brain (which was created by someone at Meta). Employees even let their AI agents coordinate with other employees’ AI agents on Slack.
That’s what happens when employee performance reviews are tied to how much they use AI.
The Future: It wouldn’t be surprising if Zuck’s AI agent ends up delivering all of Meta’s next earnings report — even the Q&A section.

Minecraft Is Building A Theme Park… In The Real World
Mojang Studios and Merlin Entertainments are teaming up to build a Minecraft theme park in the UK.
Why It Hits: Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time and has already spawned a blockbuster movie, so it was only a matter of time before a theme park followed — though most expected it to land somewhere like Universal Studios through a licensing deal. By striking out on its own, Mojang Studios is out to prove that Minecraft is the next Mickey Mouse.
Between The Rides: Mojang Studios is hoping Merlin Entertainments can bring the same magic it brought to Legoland into the world of Minecraft.
Minecraft World is a $70 million project currently under construction at Chessington World of Adventures (the UK’s largest wildlife theme park), about a 35-minute train ride from London.
It will feature a roller coaster, interactive adventures, “block-built playscapes,” and themed retail stores and restaurants.
A “selection of iconic Minecraft creators” is also consulting on the project to ensure it stays authentic to the player experience.
Last Attraction: The player experience is the key selling point of the new theme park. Mojang execs emphasized that it won’t be based on the movie or any specific IP, but instead will center on the experience of opening Minecraft and being able to build anything — “agency” being the key word.
Coming Soon: Expect Mojang to devise a way to connect the digital Minecraft experience with the IRL theme park — making the trip a must for diehard fans.
