🦾 Mind-blowing: I love this. Scientists helped a paralyzed man control a robotic arm with his thoughts. How? They built a brain-computer interface (BCI) that uses AI to grab brain signals and turn them into movement. So far, he can pick up blocks, open cabinets and hold a cup under a water dispenser. It’s still going strong seven months later.

$40 billion

Raised by OpenAI. The record-breaking funding round makes it one of the world’s most valuable private companies at $300 billion. SoftBank alone chipped in $30 billion. Dang, AI ain’t cheap.

Calories burned walking at a 10% incline. I like a real hill outside, but a treadmill works, too. FYI, a 5% incline boosts your calorie burn by 17%. Add on a weighted backpack (it’s called rucking) to burn an extra 200+ calories an hour. I was hiking yesterday when suddenly I ran into a cougar. It almost made me puma pants. 🐅

Baby, oh no: The internet was in a panic. Did Justin and Hailey Bieber break up? How could Hailey unfollow Justin on Instagram? Take a deep breath. It was just a glitch when Justin deactivated his IG account. They were recently seen on a sushi date. Oh, thank goodness.

2.87 billion

X profiles exposed. The 400 GB leak seems to be an inside job. Looks like an ex-employee stole the data. Change your X password.

I’m scratching my head on this one: People who use a Garmin smartwatch are upset about a monthly fee, and it’s not that they are still using a Garmin. The app’s new AI health and fitness tracking tools cost $6.99 a month ($69.99 per year). Apple Watch, anyone?

Is Google the next Kodak? Ouch. That’s got to leave a mark. Alphabet’s stock is down 25% from its highs, and most GenZers say they “ChatGPT’d” something instead of “Googled.” I called it 2.5 years ago. Google was on its way out. Some of you laughed. You’re not laughing now.

🇨🇳 Say it’s not Tso: Obviously, we just don’t care about giving China even more of our data. China’s DeepSeek just passed ChatGPT in new monthly website visits with 524.7 million, compared to ChatGPT’s 500 million. DeepSeek holds 12.12% of the chatbot market, second to ChatGPT. Think about what you hand over to this communist chatbot.

⏰ Don’t be alarmed: Over 170 million Americans use TikTok. Isn’t that nuts? The clock is ticking on the TikTok sale. President Trump says the TikTok deal will happen before this Saturday’s deadline. There are a lot of potential buyers with $100 billion or more to spend, but the president will make the final call. I’d love to be in the room, hearing those conversations.

There are over 1 billion malware programs: Antivirus software scans your system for viruses, ransomware and other threats and removes them before they cause damage. Protect five devices for only $19.

$13,000/month

What a guy with no college degree makes as a freelance music engineer. He mixes 30 to 40 songs a day on Fiverr for clients around the world. He works from home with a flexible schedule. It’s all about finding your niche.

5 seconds

If you can’t balance on one foot for that long, you have a higher fall risk. Try standing on your nondominant leg while brushing your teeth. If you can last for 30 seconds, you’re doing great. Hold onto something if you’re wobbly, though, OK?

🌲 This is tree-mendous: Nearsightedness in kids is exploding because of screens. Get this. In a study, children were placed in a classroom with tree imagery and a sky-like ceiling. After a year, they showed less vision decline than those in a regular room. Time to go outside, kids!

😱 This could be the start of something terrible: Scientists are on the verge of growing spare human bodies for medicine! Seriously. It’d likely be done using stem cells and artificial wombs, and could help with the organ shortage and testing new drugs. These “bodyoids” apparently wouldn’t feel pain or be able to think. Yikes.

Nearly 500 miles

How far Mercedes-Benz’s new CLA EV can go on a single charge. It charges fast, too, getting around 200 miles in just 10 minutes. Or it charges even faster if you listen to AC/DC.

Apple’s revamping the Health app: They’re adding an AI virtual doctor (paywall link). It’ll analyze health data from your devices and give you personalized tips to stay healthy, eat better and improve sleep. ETA: Sometime next year. I see me doing tips on how to remove your data, too.

📦 Remember the iPhone porch pirates? It was a major crime ring (paywall link). Hackers built software to scrape FedEx tracking numbers, then bribed AT&T employees to leak delivery addresses and order details for thousands of phones. Once the package showed up, a runner would grab it. Wild.

Ford wants to bring back stick shift: Yep, they filed a patent to add manual transmissions to EVs. There won’t be real gears. It’s all to make EVs feel more fun to drive. Ironic, considering only 18% of all Americans know how to drive manuals and can’t catch a brake.

🚨 Chrome warning: Watch out for websites offering free file conversions, like .doc to .pdf. Hackers are booby-trapping them with malware that can steal your SSN, banking info and passwords. FYI: These sites are hard to spot, so make sure you’ve got real-time antivirus protection. This is the one I use.
