AI-powered side hustles

Musk made me do it: Look, if “Elon Musk” messages you about a hot crypto deal, it’s fraud not fate. Scammers are out there pretending to be him, using fake videos, livestreams and even his mom to vouch for the hustle. Folks have lost anywhere from 10 grand to a quarter million dollars. Some even think they’re dating him. Spoiler: You’re not.

⚡️ 3-second tech genius: For the best viewing distance, take your TV’s size in inches and multiply by 1.2. So if your screen is 40 inches, you’ll want to sit about 48 inches (4 feet) back.

⚠️ Pop goes the malware: You’re scrolling the web when, bam, a pop-up says you need to “verify your identity.” Nope. That’s not security, that’s a scam called ClickFix. The NSA says these fake pop-ups now target iPhones and Androids, tricking you into clicking, copying or pasting your way into malware. If you see one, just close everything. Save yourself the clicks and tears.

🪟 Smarter windows: Corning (yep, the iPhone glass folks) dropped new “Enlighten” windows that are essentially energy-saving machines. Normal windows leak heat 10 to 20 times worse than your walls. These new ones? Up to 5x more efficient. Ah yes, finally an energy-saving way to stare at the Amazon guy delivering your packages.

🚪 Trapped in a Cybertruck: Tesla’s being sued after a 19-year-old died when a Cybertruck hit a tree and caught fire last November in California. The family says the vehicle’s sleek electric doors locked passengers inside, leaving no way out. Only one of four survived. The lawsuit claims Krysta Tsukahara didn’t die on impact, she died trapped by Tesla’s design. How awful.

🥪 Where’s the beef? Arby’s gets roasted: Turns out those towering Arby’s sandwiches in ads may be Photoshop’s finest work. A lawsuit says they show twice the meat you really get and mislead folks into thinking the beef is rare. A judge just refused to dismiss the case, so Arby’s has to deal with its roast beef reality check in court.

🛞 Smart rubber: Pirelli and Bosch are cooking up “Cyber Tyres” that talk to your car through Bluetooth tiny sensors that measure contact patches, pressure and acceleration, then beam lifesaving data like grip loss before aquaplaning. These Fitbits for wheels were spotted on a $2.5M Pagani, but hitting normal cars in ~3 years. Imagine explaining to your great grandpa, “The tire’s Bluetooth says slow down.”
