Your computer is behaving just fine, right? Opening apps, playing videos, checking email. Life’s good. But one day, without a single pop-up or beep, it’ll just … stop getting security updates. No ceremony. No goodbye. Just silence. From that moment on, it’s basically a digital sitting duck for hackers.
🧙♂️ AI pics on WhatsApp: You can now generate images with ChatGPT right inside your chats. Just save 1-800-ChatGPT (aka 1-800-242-8478) to your contacts, then open WhatsApp and say “Hi.” After the bot replies, try something like “Create a picture of a wizard eating a hot dog.” Wait a few seconds, and boom, it’ll pop up.
The number of people using AI at work every day has doubled from 4% to 8%. White-collar employees are the main culprits, especially in tech, professional services and finance. The twist? Only 15% think AI will take their job in the next five years. Someone tell them what’s happening at Amazon.
🧠 Upgrading your brain: Neuromorphic chips are here to decode your brain like it’s a messy group chat. Typically used for brain disorders, these AI-enhanced implants are designed to enhance human capabilities. They can read your neurons, zap them back if they misfire, and maybe, just maybe, turn ADHD into just HD.
AI taking Amazon jobs: The CEO just warned that some of its workforce will be replaced in the future by AI. As more generative tools and agents roll out, certain tasks (think corporate) will be handled by tech instead of humans. The silver lining? It might also create new roles, maybe.
👑 Long live the king: Streaming officially beat both cable AND broadcast TV in May. The twist? Boomers sealed the deal, now bingeing reruns on YouTube, Pluto and Tubi like digital cowboys. The old networks are just looped SVU marathons now. Even Gunsmoke is streaming. It’s the Cord-Cutting End Times. Grandpa ditched CNN for cat videos in 4K.
ICE sightings on Ring: I thought this was interesting. In Los Angeles, people are using Amazon’s Neighbors app to warn each other about possible ICE raids. They’re sharing photos and videos showing where agents were spotted and what vehicles they were driving, plus tagging posts with ice cube emojis.
🚨 Fake CAPTCHAs: You know those little tests that ask you to prove you’re not a robot? Scammers are planting fake ones on sketchy sites (like free movie pages) that ask you to press keys or download software. Some even redirect you to a browser extension or tell you to run a command. Plot twist: It’s malware.
That’s the life savings scammers stole from a schoolteacher in North Texas. They called pretending to be Chase Bank, saying his account was compromised and he needed to move his money to a “secure” one. It was all fake. The worst part? Chase only refunded about $2,000 since he wasn’t covered by fraud protection.
Hackers don’t wait, why should you? I’ve said it for years, viruses attack fast. That’s why I trust TotalAV. Rock-solid protection on up to five devices. Only $19 for the first year. Smart, simple, and it works!
