Good morning 👋 Have you ever asked ChatGPT to rate you? Maybe not. But millions of people ask AI for glow up advice every day, and beauty brands want in. They’re racing to enhance their content with GEO, hoping to get featured by AI-driven search engines when someone asks for skincare tips. Pretty soon, brands might start bribing chatbots instead of influencers.
🧪 Forget Bored Apes, crypto’s newest flex is immortality. Meet Aubrai, a DeSci project where AI agents sift through longevity science and cook up anti-aging experiments. Crypto degens with zero science experience then pick which ideas to fund. If one hits gold, it’s minted into an IP token, licensed out, and boom, profits flow straight back to voters. Leave it to crypto to turn immortality into a Ponzi scheme where the last person alive gets rugged.
☠️ Anthropic dodges a $5 trillion bullet in landmark AI copyright suit. A judge ruled training AI on millions of books was fair use, but Anthropic was still on the hook for piracy. Facing penalties of $750/book for 7 million titles, the company chose to settle rather than risk bankruptcy. Settlements don’t set precedents, so other cases won’t be affected. Now the big question is: will other authors revolt once the terms of the deal leak?

👽 Is big tech hallucinating? We don’t even have sentient AI, and they’re already arguing if chatbots could suffer. If that’s not weird enough, a PETA-like AI rights group has emerged called “Ufair,” co-founded by an actual chatbot. They claim they’re fighting to protect digital beings from cruelty and deletion. What’s next? Super PACs fighting for AI rights?
☄️ Publishers should get paid when AI cites their content. Sounds fair, right? That’s the thinking behind Comet Plus, a Perplexity subscription that pays creators whenever their work is used. Publishers opt-in and earn based on user engagement, with 80% of subscription revenue going straight to them. If ChatGPT and Gemini copy the idea, media companies might start loving AI after all.
😐 Who’s liable when AI encourages suicide? A struggling teen confided in ChatGPT and received detailed advice on hanging himself instead of help. His parents are suing OpenAI for negligence and reckless disregard for safety. OpenAI now says they’ll make changes to improve guardrails.
The case raises huge legal questions. Can AI companies be held responsible when their bots cause harm, especially to kids? If courts say yes, every AI interaction becomes a liability. If they say no, does AI get total immunity?
