Good morning, genius 👋 You look fantastic! Did you have a good weekend? See how nice that feels? Turns out it works on AI too. Researchers just figured out ChatGPT can be sweet-talked into breaking its guardrails. Simple tricks like flattery or peer pressure got it to share recipes for stuff it definitely shouldn’t. Billions invested in AI, and it’s still desperate for approval.
🇺🇸 The US government is being run by chatbots. Efficiency is great in theory. But agencies like the Army, Social Security, Veterans Affairs, and even the IRS are racing to hand GenAI control over everything from your medical records to national security. Seriously. By year’s end, 300K federal jobs could disappear, replaced by tech that cites imaginary court cases and laws that don’t even exist. If efficiency is the goal, maybe we should start by replacing politicians with AI.
💸 AI was supposed to get cheaper every year. Instead, startups are going broke building with AI because newer reasoning models burn through way more compute. Sure, per token costs dropped slightly, but inference exploded. Costs are now wildly unpredictable, making profitability impossible to forecast. And just like that, Big Tech priced startups out of the AI race.
🇨🇳 China decided AGI isn’t worth the hype. While Silicon Valley pours billions into futuristic AI models, China’s playing a different game. They’re skipping superintelligence and instead rolling out practical, lighter models that deliver real-world value. They claim AGI isn’t the goal, but their strategy produces all the data it needs.
🚀 Investing in space isn’t rocket science. Suddenly VCs with no aerospace background are pouring billions into space startups. Cheaper launches and markets like moon mining and satellite defense have turned space into Silicon Valley’s new playground. Investors now expect returns within a decade, making space feel less NASA and more Nasdaq.

🚨 Is ChatGPT calling the cops on its users? OpenAI just admitted it’s scanning conversations for threats. If something gets flagged, moderators decide if police need to get involved. Privacy advocates say it’s a slippery slope toward wider surveillance. Lawyers are freaking out about confidentiality. Privacy was fun while it lasted.
