Good morning 👬 Ever wish there was more of you to go around? CEOs are creating chatbot clones of themselves. Yes, it’s really as dumb as it sounds. Execs are training digital replicas to deliver keynotes and handle annoying staff questions. Just one tiny glitch: the bots can’t stop hallucinating, leaving employees guessing who’s really giving orders. Who knew AI would copy CEOs’ worst habits?
🔥 People are turning to AI chatbots to fact check the LA protests. Only AI is not exactly reliable. Users asked Grok and ChatGPT about a recent photo showing National Guard troops sleeping on the floor in California. Both confidently said the image was old footage from Afghanistan. It wasn’t. The photo was real and originally published a few days ago by the San Francisco Chronicle. Instead of stopping misinformation, chatbots are fueling it.
🏴☠️ Disney and Universal sue Midjourney. Deadpool, Elsa, and Yoda are teaming up to fight the AI copyright wars. The studios call Midjourney a “bottomless pit of plagiarism” for letting users create endless knockoffs of their famous characters without paying. This round, studios are fighting bots instead of pirates.
🌈 Sam Altman says the singularity is already here – and it feels more like an uprising than an upgrade. Robots aren’t raising our kids yet, and we’re still waiting on brain chips, but scientists are reporting 2-3x higher productivity. Altman expects AI to unlock entirely new scientific discoveries by 2026, followed closely by robots managing entire supply chains. Sam might call it gentle, but tell that to the driverless cars on fire.
💶 Mistral is building Euro AI. Not everyone wants Silicon Valley controlling their models. As tensions rise, European leaders are looking for powerful AI tools free from US tech. Mistral is moving fast, starting with a massive new data center near Paris and their first reasoning model, Magistral, which “thinks” in French. AI sovereignty just became Europe’s hottest business.
🪫 Tech giants needed nuclear power yesterday. Yet even fast-tracked reactors take 8 years to build. Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Amazon have placed billion-dollar bets on nuclear to power AI data centers for decades. Meanwhile, energy demand from AI is exploding faster than grids can keep up, pushing costs sky-high. By the time reactors show up, AI might’ve already solved energy itself.

Use Lemony to securely build AI apps, automate document searches, or as your own personal research assistant. AI just went local.
🏸 Who would have guessed that badminton is the 2nd most popular sport on Earth? Researchers at ETH Zürich. They built a robot to dominate the sport and trained it entirely in AI simulations. The bot quickly mastered real-world reflexes, anticipated incoming shots, and learned to stand upright for better visibility. Bridging simulations to reality means robots can leap directly from virtual practice into physical sports faster than ever. Just wait until they discover pickleball.
🧐 And in other non-news, OpenAI dropped its smartest model ever. Turns out smarter just means slower and more confused. The new o3-Pro is exactly the same as o3 but with extra compute. That means it takes longer to think, costs 4x as much, and claims to crush complex reasoning tasks like math and physics. In reality, more thinking mostly means more nonsense. Sure, it tops benchmark leaderboards. But for everyday use, you might as well stick to GPT-4o.
