Good morning 👋 Hope your boss isn’t reading this. 10% of workers want their boss replaced by AI. Apparently people prefer managers who are fair, predictable, and won’t hit on them. A new study shows Gen Z thinks AI would be nicer and easier to work with. 70% are already being extra polite to ChatGPT, just in case. Maybe your PTO request won’t trigger a performance review.
🌱 Whole Foods just got fresher thanks to AI and robots. Brothers Sam and John Bertram built OnePointOne, an AI vertical farming platform growing leafy greens 250 times more efficiently while using 99% less water. It doesn’t just grow lettuce. Their robotic, climate-controlled cubes also grow biopharma crops and can be deployed anywhere on Earth. Farming finally got its AWS moment.
🌟 We haven’t figured out fusion or AGI safety yet, but Sam Altman is already chasing star power. Altman wants to build Dyson spheres, massive structures that would harvest power from stars and beam it across space. Experts say we’re centuries away from the materials or tech needed. Even a simplified satellite swarm would consume two-thirds of Mercury’s mass and take generations. Looks like it’s open season on funding absurd VC moonshots again.
🔋 General Motors new EV battery packs 30% more power with zero cobalt and no Chinese IP. It cuts nickel, boosts range, and finally sets electric trucks to challenge gas guzzlers. This could be America’s best shot at cracking China’s battery monopoly. GM just went from dad-car vibes to global power move.
🧪 Decentralized AI has entered the drug design game. This is Big Pharma’s SETI moment. Rowan Labs just dropped an open-source model that simulates atomic chemistry by crunching quantum equations. It taps a global network of contributors who lend their computing power in exchange for TAO, the crypto fueling Bittensor’s ecosystem. Decentralized AI biopharma for crypto wasn’t on my bingo card, but here we are.
AI agents, simplified
Boomi AgentStudio lets you build and manage AI agents without writing any code. You pick templates, quickly spin up agents, and monitor their performance from a single dashboard. No custom integrations, security headaches, or confusing setups needed.
Why does this matter? Most AI agent setups force you to piece together complicated tools and spend hours troubleshooting. AgentStudio removes that friction. It’s built specifically for teams that want to deploy reliable AI workflows, keep everything compliant, and scale smoothly without extra overhead.
Perfect for SaaS teams and startups who’d rather automate tasks than juggle tools. What workflows will you streamline first?
🚘 Your flying car dreams just got real. Klein Vision’s AirCar transforms from roadster to aircraft in 80 seconds flat. It hits 155 mph in flight, cruises at 124 mph on roads, and runs on a 3.2-liter V6. With 170 flight hours already logged, the AirCar expects certification by early 2026. For a million bucks, traffic jams might finally be optional.
🫣 What happens when your digital clone goes rogue? Tools like HeyGen and Mebot AI let anyone create lifelike video doubles that speak, pitch, and perform in languages you don’t even know. Handy, until your face starts freelancing without you. Digital identity isn’t just about control; it’s about proving when it wasn’t really you. At least bad hair days are history.
