3-second tech genius

🕳️ End times, LLC: Zuckerberg, Altman and other tech billionaires aren’t only building empires. They’re quietly buying up land, digging bunkers and whispering about AGI like it’s Voldemort. Sam Altman has an “escape ranch” in Hawaii with backup power, a stocked pantry and weapons, just in case. OpenAI’s chief scientist even said they’ll build a shelter for their engineers before unleashing AGI on the world. Is this AI doom planning or just tax shelter cosplay? Either way, it makes you wonder: What do they know that they’re not saying? You really should read the whole story. It’s wild.

Sound check: This is incredible. A noisy experiment gone right led to histotripsy, a cancer treatment that uses ultrasound to blast tumors without surgery. FDA-approved for liver cancer, it’s noninvasive, fast and, get this, 95% effective in trials so far. Patients usually go home the same day. The inventor discovered it trying to quiet her lab. Volume down, breakthrough up.

📺 Monetized redemption: YouTube’s letting some banned creators come back, if they’ve been gone over a year and play nice this time. No copyright cheats, no repeat offenders. They’ll have to rebuild from scratch, monetization and all. Basically, it’s creator purgatory with ads.

💰 Ralph wrote to me: “I’m saving $75 a month thanks to Consumer Cellular!” I had to share. Two unlimited lines for just $60/month, no contracts, same great coverage. Use code KIM25 and save $25 today.

Metal’s glow-up: MIT just whipped up a 3D-printable aluminum that’s five times stronger than the regular stuff and still light enough to replace titanium in jet engines. Translation: cheaper planes, cars, maybe even phones. The wild part? The engineers didn’t spend years testing a million different combos. They let AI do the heavy lifting, narrowing it down to just 40 winning formulas. So yeah, I guess that makes AI the world’s smartest metal detector.

🚨 There’s a new Y2K bug: Meet Y2K38. It’s what happens when older tech hits a digital wall in January 2038 and thinks it’s 1901. (Talk about a throwback.) Hackers aren’t waiting around, either. They can mess with systems right now using fake GPS signals and bogus time stamps. We’re talking cars, printers, even nuclear subs going haywire. What can you do? The usual smart stuff: Keep your devices updated, turn off auto time-sync if it seems sketchy, and don’t let old gear connect to weird networks.

🎮 It’s not just a phase, Mom: That whole “video games are for kids” thing? Turns out the average gamer is 41, and they’re playing to relax, connect with others and keep their minds sharp. Nearly half are women. And yes, phones count, mobile is the top platform. Get this, nearly half of U.S. parents say gaming helps their relationship with their kids. I used to play Need for Speed with my son. At one point, I yelled, “Ian, punch it, the cops are right behind us!” Then I sat back and thought, “Yep, definitely not getting Parent of the Year for this one.”

🧯 Firewall files exposed: You might not know what SonicWall is, but if your company backs up firewall settings to the cloud, they’re in a massive breach. SonicWall says every single cloud backup got exposed. Yikes. Forward this to your IT lead and check the alert list. It’s one of those “better safe than hacked” situations.

Wrong number scams spreading: It starts with a random text like “Emily from the gym?” You reply, “Wrong number.” But instead of leaving you alone, they get friendly, pull on your heartstrings, then pitch an investment scam. If you get one, don’t reply. Just block the number.
