Good morning 👋 to anyone who’s ever been ditched. Geoffrey Hinton, the legendary “Godfather of AI,” just got dumped by ChatGPT, the tech he helped create. His girlfriend asked the chatbot to explain exactly why she was breaking up with him, and it didn’t hold back. But he’s hardly alone. New research says 41% of daters have let AI handle their breakups. Love might hurt, but at least the grammar is flawless.
🕹️ Friday night in San Francisco, two humanoid robots slugged it out in a cage. The crowd went wild, not realizing operators controlled every punch. Welcome to the current state of robotics. Billions are pouring into humanoids meant to clean homes, run factories, and stack warehouses. But why build human forms when specialized bots could do these jobs better? Simple. People find them relatable. And every human-guided punch, step, and stumble is test data that might make all the AI hype reality.
🤥 OpenAI just released a long overdue paper on why LLMs hallucinate. The tests used to benchmark AI reward lying. Confident guesses earn points, honesty gets punished. If a model admits uncertainty with “I don’t know,” it scores the same as a wrong answer. Models quickly learn that faking certainty beats admitting ignorance. The fix is simple: make wrong answers cost points, and let AI learn some humility.
🏹 Major anti-aging breakthrough confirmed as clinical trial extends human telomeres. In a randomized trial, researchers found the diabetes drug henagliflozin significantly lengthened telomeres, the protective caps on chromosomes linked to lifespan. It also improved key aging markers like immune function, metabolism, and blood sugar. Getting older might soon become optional.
🍺 ChatGPT dropped a major productivity hack. If you use AI for work, you’ve probably experienced the joy of retraining your chatbot every single morning. Big fun! Branching solves that problem instantly. Once your bot knows its job, branch off the conversation into a fresh thread. No more copy and pasting bits of your sanity between chats. It’s the digital equivalent of saying, “Hold my beer,” and actually coming back.
Automation without limits
n8n is open-source workflow software with over 1,000 integrations including Slack, Google Sheets, CRMs, and APIs. Unlike Zapier, it charges per workflow run instead of per step, so complex automations don’t get expensive.
Why you need it: n8n supports advanced automations like loops, branching, custom code, and direct API calls. You can host it yourself on your own servers for total data privacy.
Use it to build custom AI integrations or handle repetitive tasks.
🤓 Researchers want to teach AI emotional intelligence. One team is giving chatbots stable personalities based on Myers-Briggs types, so your bot could soon be an “INTJ” or even an overly chatty “ESFP.” Another group is teaching bots to shift emotions mid-conversation. Combine these approaches, and AI might finally learn how to read the room.
🗨️ There’s a secret, lucrative job behind making AI chatbots sound human. Thousands of invisible workers quietly coach chatbots on what to say. They label data, test disturbing scenarios, flag hate speech, and even prompt AI toward violence and uncomfortable topics. It’s all done behind strict secrecy and uncertain ethics. The workers are never quite sure whether they’re building something great or just training the bots that’ll soon replace them.
