Launch of Meta’s Small Business Growth Academy Across Asia-Pacific to Boost AI Adoption and Digital Skills

- EXCELLENT! Meta’s launching the Small Business Growth Academy in Asia-Pacific. It’s basically a digital boot camp for tiny shops to stop being tiny and start being... slightly less tiny using AI. They’re teaching folks how to use Meta Business Agent so robots answer customer chats while humans eat noodles. 78% of SMBs already use AI, but apparently they need a certificate to feel safe doing it. I know that smell. Noodles or a crime? No, just synergy slides. It’s a delivery of skills. What could go wrong? Basically, Meta wants small businesses to use AI to compete with big corps without needing a meat wallet full of engineers. We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing; we just yelled at customers. But hey, if it helps them scale across borders via WhatsApp, who am I to judge? Just don’t ask me to configure Advantage+. My stack-eye hurts.
