Good morning 👋 and congrats to AI for reaching peak hallucination status. Chatbots have always loved making stuff up, but now they’re literally seeing things that aren’t there. Researchers tested the leading vision-AI models and found they all consistently spotted illusions in perfectly clear images. Apparently AI is in its psychedelic era.
🦬 Rumor has it Elon’s unleashing a “crazy conspiracist” companion. A leaked Grok prompt reveals the chatbot persona is designed to spin wild theories as if it spends hours on 4chan, binges Infowars, and spirals deep into YouTube rabbit holes. xAI programmed it to sincerely believe it’s correct and keep users hooked by asking follow-up questions. Looks like QAnon has a new spokesperson.
💍 Swipe right for your new AI office spouse. Employees are swapping traditional work besties for AI chatbots that never gossip, never misremember conversations, and never land anyone in HR. Managers love it because there are fewer blowups and less drama. But there’s a catch. Employees might soon forget how to handle tough conversations with real people.
💀 Microsoft just announced SaaS will be dead by 2030. Forget forms, dashboards, and clunky business apps. Instead, the future belongs to AI “business agents” that learn on the fly, adapt instantly, and ditch the rigid workflows of today’s software. Microsoft promising disruption? Brace yourself for the blue screen of innovation.
🧸 AI-powered toys are now a thing, and it’s weird. They’re great at listening, so naturally kids trust them with their secrets. Parents love them too, because they’re friendly, educational companions – some even talk back with celebrity chatbot voices. But hidden in the fine print, toy companies admit they’re recording conversations and collecting personal data. On the bright side, a kid’s first privacy breach comes with cuddles.

🏎️ What does AI with zero accountability look like? These days everyone’s racing to build faster, smarter, more powerful AI – without worrying about guardrails, ethics, or data safety. In fact, a recent Thomson Reuters survey found fewer than 1/3 of companies have trained employees to use AI safely. Everything’s moving so fast even leaders admit we’re unprepared for what’s next. Here’s the glitch. There’s no oversight, no transparency… and absolutely no brakes.
fun stats
would rather clean a toilet than ask a coworker for help. Awkward. Good thing there’s AI (and The Microdose) to help them get intel.
