Good morning 👋 especially if you love coffee and casual conversations about global domination. In that case, grab your tinfoil hat and join Peter Thiel for private lectures about how the Antichrist could use technology to rise to power. His talks explore how AI, surveillance tools, and centralized data could set the stage for a biblical villain to seize control. Ironic, coming from the cofounder of Palantir, a company who knows everything about you.
👽 OpenAI claims a secret cabal of billionaires is plotting its downfall. They’re dragging nonprofits to court, claiming Musk and Zuckerberg pull the strings. The smoking gun? An attorney renting an apartment on a street called Tesla Place. Now they’re chasing nonexistent documents to uncover the plot. Meanwhile, a “vast force” of AI critics have to prove they’re not billionaire pawns, all because GPT-5 sucks. Good thing Altman’s not paranoid or anything.
🏈 AI agents are hooked on sports betting and losing spectacularly. Startups swear their autonomous, crypto-powered agents have cracked the gambling code with secret data-driven strategies. The only problem is these genius betting bots are way better at riding AI hype than actually winning bets.
🎈Silicon Valley is obsessed with AI + crypto mashups. The latest to cash in on the agentic bubble is PayPal backed startup Kite. It’s building a blockchain to give AI agents their own digital IDs so bots can trade autonomously with other bots. Feels like the exact opposite of Worldcoin’s orb verifying you’re human. At least agents will know exactly who rugged them.
🐒 Good news PETA, the FDA is about to replace animal testing with AI. The agency is pushing biotech firms toward tools like organs-on-chips and 3D microtissues to test drugs faster, cheaper, and without the ethical mess. Analysts predict AI could soon slash drug timelines and costs by half, sparing thousands of lab animals. Sadly, no matter how good AI gets, each drug trial still gets tested on 144 “non-human primates.”

🎙️ Wearable AI is going mainstream and it’s incredibly profitable. Millions are now wearing Plaud’s AI-powered pins and Meta’s smart glasses to record and transcribe every conversation. Plaud alone bootstrapped to $250 million a year, with profit margins rivaling Apple’s iPhone. Apparently privacy is out, and turning yourself into a walking reality show is in.
