AI madness: Elon Musk’s updated Grok image generator for X Premium and Premium+ subscribers just dropped, and it’s a wild one. Unlike other AI tools, this one creates uncensored images of real people in real locations doing some seriously weird things … like this absurd AI pic of Trump and Harris kissing.

National Public Data, a company that collects information from nonpublic sources without consent, according to a class-action lawsuit (paywall link), has been hit by a massive data breach. The company makes money by selling personal data to employers, private investigators and anyone conducting background checks.
From big banks to canned tuna, companies are paying out huge money to settle some pretty fishy business. I’ve rounded up a few of the biggest class-action lawsuits and how to grab your slice of the pie.
This is your reminder I’m not a lawyer, this is not legal advice and a company paying out a settlement doesn’t mean they’re admitting, “Yeah, we messed up.”
It took radio 38 years to reach an audience of 50 million and just 13 years for television to hit that mark. How long did it take Facebook to reach 50 million users? Was it … A.) 6 months, B.) 1.5 years, C.) 3 years or D.) 5 years?
How long Microsoft’s ultra-durable glass plates can store data. A small sheet can hold terabytes — we’re talking enough music to play for 13 years. Maybe this is what we should use for time capsules. It’s like a Superman material!
When our bodies go through dramatic aging. Researchers tracked the molecules and microbes of 108 people over seven years. Most didn’t age gradually but did so in big bursts in their mid-40s and early 60s. Yup, age is an issue of mind over matter; if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
For people who use health apps and smart devices. A new study shows that people do 55 minutes more exercise per week, eat 20% more fruits and veggies, and sleep better.
For a factory-sealed Super Mario Bros. game. The owner of Just Press Play, a game and collectibles company, is putting the money into a 22,000-square-foot space in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Wahoo! (Did you read that in Mario’s voice?)
On GoFundMe for goldfish living in a sidewalk puddle near a leaky fire hydrant in Brooklyn. After noticing the leak, a guy went to the pet store and got 100 goldfish for $16. Neighbors (and the internet) are loving it and trying to make their makeshift home permanent.
Swimming in the wrong direction. A long-distance swimmer attempting 80 miles across Lake Michigan had to call it quits after his GPS watch died and he got way off course. Stinks it ended this way for 60-year-old Jim Dryer, aka “The Shark.”
For the new breed of EVs known as extended-range electric vehicles. The catch: You’ll have to gas up every now and then (paywall link). EREVs have a small combustion engine that’s there to charge the electric battery as you drive.
