Apple's hearing aids

😟 Anything for clout: YouTuber “Norme” is livestreaming himself in solitary confinement for a month to see if he goes insane. He’s locked in a pitch-black storage container with just a mattress, and after 150 hours, he’s already rambling about aliens and making weird noises. He’s making money doing challenges, like $5 for a handstand or $50 to tape his mouth shut for an hour.

Took part in a word association test. And guess what? The felines linked words to images twice as quickly as human babies did. Maybe cats are judging us after all.

👑 A royal first: Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, just became the first British royal family member to join TikTok. The 65-year-old, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, plans to share an intimate look at her journey. It’s strange to me she only has a little over 2,000 followers. 

What Sotheby’s hopes to fetch at auction for the first-ever artwork made by a humanoid robot. The piece, called “AI God,” is a portrait of Alan Turing, a key figure in the history of computer science and AI. Pretty fitting, right?

Sea ya later: Royal Caribbean is facing a class-action lawsuit after nearly 1,000 passengers were filmed secretly in a bathroom. It happened this past February on the Symphony of the Seas. This sicko uploaded images to the Dark Web and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. I hope he drops the soap.

Juul payout: Folks who bought Juul vaping products are getting huge payouts from the $300 million class-action settlement — someone even received over $9,000. The company was sued after its customers claimed they were misled about how addictive Juul’s products were. If you put in a claim, check your Venmo.

😔 So very sad: A father found his 18-year-old daughter, who was murdered in 2006, had been turned into a chatbot. Her name and yearbook photo appeared on Character AI, a site where people can interact with AI personalities or create their own. Even worse, her profile, labeled as a “video game journalist,” had been chatted with close to 70 times. It’s been removed, but seriously — this stuff needs regulation.
