Good morning 👋 Sometimes the key to success is having someone who believes in you unconditionally, even if that someone is yourself. After promising to sell up to half a million Cybertrucks per year, Tesla has barely cracked 20k in 2025. With demand dropping faster than its resale value, Musk found an easy fix: just have SpaceX and xAI buy them. It’s basically the corporate version of writing yourself checks and calling it revenue, but hey, at least the numbers look good.
🏈 The NFL is using AI to predict injuries before they happen. The league partnered with Amazon to build Digital Athlete, an AI-powered injury prediction tool crunching half a billion data points a week. Sensors and cameras track every player movement, spotting risks before players even feel them. Coaches once mocked it as junk science, but now it’s changing practice schedules, driving safer rules, and even cutting concussions to record lows. Vegas oddsmakers would sell their souls for this data.
🛍️ Visa just launched a protocol to police AI shopping bots. Agent-based shopping exploded over 4,700% this year, leaving merchants clueless about which bots are legit and which are scammers. Visa’s solution is the “Trusted Agent Protocol,” a system that verifies shopping bots and tells businesses which algorithms to trust. Conveniently for Visa, it also makes them the internet’s new shopping bouncer, deciding exactly who’s cool enough to get in.
🌶️ OpenAI is about to get Spicy mode. ChatGPT will soon let verified users generate explicit adult content. Grok already proved there’s serious money in AI-generated porn, quickly turning into a playground for explicit videos and wild fantasies. OpenAI, previously cautious about safety and ethics, now says it’s ready to treat adults like adults. But considering Grok’s moderation fiascos and deepfake controversies, OpenAI might be opening a door it can’t close.

🇨🇦 Canada is putting nuclear reactors on the moon. They just funded a project to build micro modular reactors to power lunar colonies through the moon’s harsh 14-day nights. These colonies don’t even exist yet. And NASA, China, and Russia all have similar plans. Yet Canada is betting that bringing nuclear power to space first is the best way to call dibs on the lunar frontier. Tim Hortons is going to make a fortune up there.
💼 AI was supposed to cut lawyer fees, but billable hours haven’t budged. Nearly 60% of corporate legal departments say they’ve seen zero savings from law firms using generative AI. Documents draft faster and jobs finish sooner, but only 13% noticed any reduction in bills. Companies are fed up, pressuring law firms to rethink their pricing, or taking legal work back in-house. Only lawyers could charge extra for efficiency.
🖥️ Now you can ditch the cloud and run your own AI. Nvidia just launched the DGX Spark, a tiny desktop-sized AI supercomputer powerful enough to handle models with up to 200 billion parameters right on your desk. It packs 128GB of memory, so pros can train, fine-tune, and run powerful language models privately, without uploading sensitive data to the cloud. Nvidia isn’t just selling hardware here. They’re betting the future of AI for professionals is privacy and control.
