Good morning 👋 Once upon a time, going viral meant charisma, controversy, or at least one juicy scandal. Now even MrBeast, the undisputed king of YouTube, worries AI might steal his spotlight. New AI video apps like Sora are flooding the internet, pumping out viral clips without cameras or actual people. Fans are already hooked, and MrBeast says it’s “scary times” for anyone who makes a living entertaining the masses.
💩 Vibe coding is turning software security into a hot mess. Developers depend on it because it lets them ship apps faster, but there’s a catch. The AI learns from outdated, buggy libraries, injecting hidden vulnerabilities directly into fresh software. Since vibe coding rarely produces the same code twice, fixing flaws is like playing whack-a-mole blindfolded. Forget about clean patches or reliable version control. Your most sensitive data is already running on vibe coded apps with zero accountability.
⚡ OpenAI made it’s own version of n8n and Zapier. AgentKit lets you visually build and optimize AI workflows using drag-and-drop tools, built-in chat interfaces, performance checks, and secure connectors. Unlike flexible self-hosted options, AgentKit locks you into OpenAI’s usage-based API pricing, which could quickly get unpredictable. OpenAI hasn’t clarified whether they’ll bill per node like most automation tools or per workflow. Setup might be easier, but convenience always comes with a price tag.
🧩 What if apps could fix their own security flaws? Google DeepMind just dropped CodeMender, an AI agent that automatically finds and patches software vulnerabilities. It’s already submitted over 70 security fixes to major open-source projects, permanently locking hackers out of millions of lines of code. Soon, devs might spend less time chasing bugs because software will finally heal itself.

🤠 Sora users are giving OpenAI a harsh lesson in chaos theory. Within 24 hours of launch, the app shot to #1 on Apple’s App Store, and users instantly turned it into a viral nightmare. SpongeBob started cooking meth, South Park got unauthorized new episodes, and Tupac, Mr. Rogers, and Michael Jackson rose from the dead. OpenAI panicked, ditched its hands-off copyright stance, and promised tighter rules along with vague revenue-sharing deals. Now users say the app is unusable. Innovation is easy until lawyers get involved.
⏳ A 19-year-old has solved AI’s goldfish memory problem. Normally, AI forgets everything the moment you close the window. Supermemory changes that, letting AI actually remember conversations long-term and get smarter every time you talk. Instead of constantly starting from scratch, it pulls details from your emails, texts, videos, and files, letting conversations flow naturally – even months or years later. Google execs and OpenAI veterans just handed the teenage founder $2.6 million, betting it’s finally time for AI to stop acting like it woke up five seconds ago.
🪜 AI will make wealth inequality worse. A new Senate report warns that AI’s explosive growth is quietly funneling power and profits straight to the top. Mega-corporations are already going all-in on automation, swapping paychecks for profits and handing billionaires even bigger bonuses. Washington’s solution involves shorter workweeks, profit-sharing, and maybe taxing robots. If disruption creates opportunity, surely the next wave of billionaires will be more eager to share the wealth.

agreement between OpenAI and AMD to collab on AI data centers 🍪 OpenAI will buy 6 gigawatts of AMD chips and get 10% of the chip company. Sorry Nvidia.

🍿 Sora slop: In the tsunami of copyright lax South Park dupes this one brought 3 secs of entertainment. Which is ironic as each 10 sec Sora video costs $3 to generate. Better get working on that revenue model Sam.
