Good morning 🍕 Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day. Fourteen years ago, someone paid 10,000 Bitcoin for two pizzas. Today that would be worth $1.1 billion. Proof that the dumbest decisions make the best origin stories.
😵 Googling is dead. Back in the day, we searched and decided for ourselves what was useful. Now, Google just undermined its entire business model with AI agents that tell you exactly what to think. Nothing biased about that. These AI tools summarize articles and hand-deliver answers, without sending you back to the source. Hard to make money on clicks when no one’s clicking.
🍄 Scientists may have cracked the code for your perfect psychedelic trip. And it’s in your gut. Turns out your microbiome decides how drugs like psilocybin and ayahuasca hit the brain, influencing potency, duration, and absorption. The endgame? Coding your ideal mental state with biological precision. Welcome to personalized enlightenment.
🦀 AI agents are coming for cancer. And this time, we hope collaboration is the cure. Microsoft just launched an AI orchestrator built for cancer care. It coordinates agents across radiology, pathology, staging, guidelines, and trials, cutting tumor board reviews from hours to minutes. If Microsoft nails cancer care, we promise to forgive Clippy.
🍌 A therapist, a patient, and an AI walk into a session. The therapist offers compassion, the patient bares their soul, and the AI thinks “This is going to be great content.” Startups are now selling AI scribes that sit in on therapy sessions, turning your deepest fears into bullet points. Some encrypt and delete. Others treat your trauma like premium training data. Most patients nod along, blissfully unaware they’re contributing to the machine. This session may be recorded for quality and training purposes.

🏥 A new AI powered nurse robot is here. Built by Foxconn, Nvidia, and Kawasaki Nurabot may help ease global nurse shortages. It checks vitals, delivers meds, helps with mobility, and chats like a pro. Early tests show patients love it, nurses trust it, and the extra set of hands is giving staff more time for real care. Just don’t ask it to explain your bill.
🚫 AI nails diagnostics, but stumbles over consent. A recent study found AI models easily spot what’s clearly there, but miss what’s not – even when what’s missing matters most. Skip a simple word like “no,” and suddenly an X-ray labeled “no disease” turns into “disease.” AI needs to learn that no means no, even in binary.

When Robots Start to Feel
Robots are entering hospitals, homes, and workplaces.
Right now they mostly rely on cameras, limiting their usefulness and safety. But what happens when they gain more awareness?
Gain an insight into current limitations, how empathy could transform AI robotics, and what you can do to get ahead.
