Good morning 👋 to everyone who secretly loves hearing about spectacular screw-ups. Meet the AI Darwin Awards, a site honoring companies pushing AI-powered stupidity to thrilling new heights. Like the Taco Bell AI drive-thru that melted down after someone ordered 18,000 cups of water. Or the Australian lawyer who figured using two different AIs would magically cancel out their hallucinations. Proof once again that even AI can’t fix stupid.
✨ Plus: Apple releases the iPhone 11, again.
♠️ Microsoft is hedging its AI bet with Anthropic. For years, they relied exclusively on OpenAI. Now suddenly they’re blending Anthropic into Office 365. The official story is that Claude handles spreadsheets and PowerPoint decks better than ChatGPT. Yet behind the scenes, Microsoft is sitting on a ticking time bomb called “The Clause,” which cuts off their access if OpenAI declares AGI. They tried renegotiating, but the deal stalled under regulatory pressure. At least Anthropic doesn’t come with a self-destruct clause.
💝 What do women want from an AI boyfriend? Nearly 20% of adults say they’ve gotten romantic with a chatbot. For women it’s often about having a smart, emotionally available companion that’s not needy and, above all, let’s things be 100% about them. Yet despite a market flooded with customizable digital lovers, finding an AI partner that checks all the boxes remains tricky. Endless devotion comes easy, but nuance and depth still seem frustratingly out of reach.
🦋 Accessibility might be AI’s true killer app. A recent UK study finds AI tools help neurodiverse workers get stuff done. Dyslexic employees feel confident writing reports, workers with ADHD can organize scattered thoughts, and hearing-impaired colleagues actually follow meetings. This market is projected to hit $52B by 2034, proving that making work suck less is a pretty good business model.
👾 The internet is about to get a whole lot weirder. AI agents will quickly outnumber people online, and marketers are scrambling to figure out how to advertise to them. Forget SEO and pay for clicks. Soon you’ll compete to embed your brand directly into AI memory, or bribe other bots for recommendations. Brace yourself for ads promising unlimited API calls and zero latency.

🎸 Songwriters should be paid fairly when AI trains on their music. That’s the idea behind Sweden’s new AI music license. It works like Spotify, but for AI models. Companies can legally use songs, and royalties flow directly to creators. The license provides legal certainty for companies facing backlash over Gen AI stealing musician’s work. Anyone calling this a win for musicians probably still believes Spotify pays artists fairly.
