Hey there 👋 Online dating in the age of AI is tough. Your Tinder match always looks pixel perfect and knows exactly what to say – until you meet in person. Dating apps are leaning into AI matchmaking so aggressively your next date might just be two AIs chatting each other up. It’s so much easier to be real when you don’t have to meet in person. Awkward.

📶 Jack Dorsey is turning Bluetooth into a decentralized WhatsApp killer. The ex Twitter founder casually launched Bitchat this weekend, a messaging app built with zero servers, zero internet, and zero personal data.

Privately, they prefer soft, undefined guidelines to enforceable regulation.

📓 ChatGPT is testing a new feature called “Study Together.” Instead of giving quick answers it now asks questions, encouraging users to think and learn for themselves.
