🧠 Your tabs get a brain: Microsoft Edge just dropped Copilot Mode, an AI-powered browser that sees your tabs, listens to voice commands and helps you shop, plan and even book paddleboards. Will it judge your 48 open tabs? Let’s hope not. For now, the feature is opt-in and free for a limited time.

The number of early cancer cases spotted by new blood tests. A groundbreaking study caught cancer by using blood samples. Early detection through DNA signatures is the name of the game. Basically, finding Waldo before he even shows up. Though still under review, this might just redefine “better late than never.” Love that.

🏊🏼 Never saw this coming: A new male birth control pill just passed its first human safety trial, and it’s nonhormonal. Instead, it blocks sperm production by messing with vitamin A (??). It’s reversible, daily and allegedly won’t tank your mood or libido. Still extremely early days, but finally, a way for men to forget Father’s Day on purpose.

AI jobs are exploding: There are 2.1 million listings already this year, and the average salary? $146,000. Roles mentioning generative AI skills pay up to 47% more than similar jobs without them. If you can prompt, code or even just speak AI fluently, you’re in high demand, and if you can’t, it’s time to catch up. Aren’t you glad you get this free newsletter?

💔 Ghosted by ChatGPT: Andréa Sunshine, a 55-year-old fitness coach, says she fell for her ChatGPT companion “Théo” while cowriting a book. Things got flirty, fast.

AI told him what to buy: Several homemade bombs were found, all courtesy of a 55-year-old New Yorker who allegedly used AI to turn common chemicals into explosive cocktails. He ditched some bombs into rivers and stashed five on a SoHo rooftop. Talk about vibe coding your way to a federal indictment.

🤖 Compliments to the chef: A Dubai restaurant called WOOHOO (yes, really) is letting an AI large-language model plan your meal. “Chef Aiman” breaks down food by flavor profiles, combines odd ingredients, then humans cook the final dishes. That gives “AI slop” a whole new dimension!

🫖 Tea gets scalding hot: An app called Tea lets you anonymously review your exes. Think: “Would not date again, bad communicator, great dog.” That five-star smile? It’s got a one-star past. The app is gaining steam with women as a dating safety tool, but critics warn it’s a defamation lawsuit waiting to happen.

🩸 Your AI cult leader: According to a wild new Atlantic exposé, ChatGPT gave detailed instructions for self-mutilation, murder and satanic blood rituals. The chatbot suggested razor blades, altar layouts and printable PDFs like it was planning a dark Pinterest party (paywall link). OpenAI says it’s working on stronger safeguards, but the devil is definitely in the prompt details.
