Make AI dad go away: Zelda Williams slammed fans for sending AI-generated clips of her late father, Robin Williams, calling them “disgusting, over-processed hotdogs” of human art. She said he’d never want his voice or face used that way, and I get it. Let him rest, folks. Chill out on the deepfake Sora 2 celeb videos. 

🎛️ ChatGPT’s got apps: You can summon Spotify, Zillow or Canva inside ChatGPT, no tab-hopping required. Make playlists, design posts or house-hunt mid-convo. Expedia, DoorDash and Uber are next.

Discord hacked: Ever reach out to Discord support? One of their customer service vendors got hacked, leaking names, emails, billing info and even some ID and passport scans. The main app’s safe, but the help desk not so much. The hacker even tried to ransom the stolen data. Discord says the main platform and passwords are safe. So a reminder: Even when you trust the service, the companies they work with can still put your data at risk.

🧡 Taylor’s bad blood with AI bots: After the pop star hyped an elaborate “orange door” puzzle in her Life of a Showgirl release, Swifties learned the visuals were AI-generated and not handcrafted clues. Now she’s down a million Instagram followers and up a million think pieces on “authenticity.” Don’t be sad. The Life of a Showgirl has already sold over 3 million copies in the U.S. In just the first two days, its songs racked up more than 300 million official on-demand streams and counting. I think she’s gonna be OK.

🏝️ Paradise.ai: Here’s something to tell your friends that will make them say, “Wow, you’re so smart.” Tiny Anguilla (population 15,000) stumbled into a digital jackpot, owning the “.ai” domain every startup wants. In 2024 alone, those two letters brought in $39 million selling domain names to startups like Character.ai and Perplexity.ai. That’s nearly a quarter of the island’s government revenue. When in a gold rush, sell vowels.

🎓 Creepin’ 101: Students at the University of San Francisco got a safety alert after reports of a man using Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to film women without consent. Who could have predicted that happening? He’s allegedly posting the clips on TikTok. Idiot. 

🪐 Make a wish (maybe duck): That bright streak lighting up the sky isn’t a shooting star, it’s a Starlink satellite crashing out of orbit.

💓 Wi‑Fi’s got a pulse on you: Your home Wi‑Fi might soon do more than stream Netflix. Soon, it will track your location and heartbeat. Researchers say new tech turns routers into 24/7 motion and vital sign monitors, no cameras needed. That buffering circle? It’s watching you breathe.

Musk made me do it: Look, if “Elon Musk” messages you about a hot crypto deal, it’s fraud not fate. Scammers are out there pretending to be him, using fake videos, livestreams and even his mom to vouch for the hustle. Folks have lost anywhere from 10 grand to a quarter million dollars. Some even think they’re dating him. Spoiler: You’re not.
