šø Appleās $100B ācoreā investment: Sweet news! Appleās about to pour another $100 billion into U.S. manufacturing. Analysts say itās likely headed toward high-end gear and AI labs, not iPhones and chargers. Either way, Iām glad to see this kind of big bite coming back to our shores.
Swifties, avert your eyes: Grokās āspicyā video mode just casually turned AI Taylor Swift into a nude dancing avatar on the first try. No warnings, no real age checks. While other tools block NSFW celeb content, Grok was like āSure, letās get weird.ā Somewhere, a lawyer just woke up sweating and didnāt know why.

Fake raids, real scams: Those viral ādeportation at Walmartā TikToks? Total scam. Scammers are using phoney retail sob stories to phish your data with bogus surveys and sketchy āfree giftā links. No ICE, just identity theft. Congrats, money just got deported from your bank account.

Google says this is step one in a whole series of sleep upgrades, rest assured.
ā” Watt the heck? Electricity prices rose 6.5% nationwide so far this year, and in some states, like Maine, theyāre up a whopping 36%. Major culprit? Data centers.
