Good morning 👋 to everyone who hates saving for retirement. Congrats, your excuse just arrived. Some of the world’s top AI experts stopped funding their 401(k)s because they’re sure AI will end humanity first. These aren’t random internet doomers; they’re respected researchers. So go ahead, splurge on avocado toast and lattes. The robots have your back.
Redaction: Turns out robots aren’t growing babies yet 🤭 A humble apology to moms, scientists, and anyone who bought a baby charger.
🧠 Lab-grown human brain cells are controlling robots. Researchers discovered how to speed up the growth of tiny brain tissues using graphene, an ultra-thin material that turns pulses of light into electrical signals. Connected to a robot, these mini-brains sense obstacles and send signals back to change direction. It’s not exactly a cyborg revolution yet, but it’s the first glimpse at bots powered by actual brain tissue.
🫧 VCs love profitable companies that cost next to nothing to run. That’s why software companies with low overhead have always been able to rack up huge valuations. But AI is flipping the script. Suddenly tech is going from lean and profitable to asset-heavy and expensive, spending big money on data centers. Billion-dollar valuations look different when the cash is spent on concrete instead of code.
🍔 Google’s fake dinner deals just broke the internet. AI Overview is confidently inventing daily specials and menu items local restaurants have never heard of, and it’s leaving customers confused and staff stressed out. One restaurant is even begging patrons to stop asking for imaginary deals Google hallucinated. Can’t wait for the chaos when Google makes up crazy Black Friday ads.
