Watch to the end. I’ll tell ya. Make your guess now!
Which ONE state doesn't have a hands-free law?
The Genius Act
Are rules about to tame crypto’s wild west? Here’s what the new law means.
🪙 It’s genius: President Trump signed the GENIUS Act, bringing new rules to cryptocurrency, specifically stablecoins like USDC and Tether, which are backed by real assets like the U.S. dollar. The law sets standards for who can issue them and how they’re regulated. Bottom line: Crypto’s going legit, with tracking, taxing and oversight baked in. Sorry, crypto cowboys.
90 more days
That’s how long President Trump is giving TikTok before the ban hammer drops. Again. Yep, this is the third extension. The law still says ByteDance has to sell it to an American buyer. Big names like Amazon and Perplexity AI are sniffing around, but no deal yet. Oh, and those new tariffs? Not exactly speeding things up.
🕵️♀️ Tracked and terrified: A Nebraska woman thought she dropped her AirPods. Instead, she pulled a tracking device from her car, then found four more. The kicker? That’s not illegal in her state. No consent laws, no tracking rules. She installed cameras, caught her ex, and is now pushing to change the law. Here’s what to do if you find one.
🎭 Who owns your face? Get this. Denmark’s rewriting copyright law to give people ownership over their face, voice and vibe. Yes, really. If a deepfake of you pops up without consent, you can make platforms take it down. It’s the first law of its kind in Europe, and the U.S. might want to take notes. This will be ID theft in 2035.
Take It Down Act: President Trump just signed a law making it a crime to post someone’s intimate images without their consent, even if they’re AI deepfakes. It’s serious stuff. You could face up to three years in prison, plus fines. Platforms have 48 hours to take down reported content and scrub any copies.
The next big battle for the internet
A decades-old law helped the internet grow. It also turned it into a free-for-all. Is it time to pull the plug on Section 230?
$10,000 an hour
What lawyers might charge in the future, according to the LexisNexis CEO. With AI doing the grunt work like digging up case law and writing summaries, they’ll have more time to focus on the important stuff. Better service, bigger bills. Let’s just hope these lawyers do their due diligence and fact-check the work. In my humble opinion, at $10K an hour, your lawyer should also do your taxes, walk your dog and solve your childhood trauma.
💸 Thinking about meme coins? The SEC says they don’t count as securities under U.S. law. Why? Securities (like stocks) usually offer profits or rights to a company’s assets. Meme coins? They don’t pay out earnings or give ownership. They’re more like collectibles with little real-world use. So don’t fall for them.
💰 Armed rideshares are popping up everywhere: The new Protector app (iPhone only) lets you book armed guards and Escalades to chauffeur you around for $200 an hour. Think Uber, but with active or retired law enforcement and military officers behind the wheel. BlackWolf hires military and law enforcement too.
63%
Lawyers that have used AI in cases. Only around 12% use it regularly. Bots like ChatGPT can make up fake cases in court docs. One lawyer was fined $2,000 and had to take a class on how to use AI for law.
Over $1 million
Earned from the 55-second “Charlie Bit My Finger” video. You remember it, right? The toddler crying because his baby brother bit his finger? Almost 900 million views later, Charlie is 18 and says the clip helped him pay for law school. A big chunk of that came in 2021, when the video sold as an NFT for over $600,000. Whoa.
😂 Murphy’s Law states anything that can happen will happen: But are you familiar with Cole’s Law? It’s finely shredded raw cabbage with a salad dressing, commonly either vinaigrette or mayonnaise.
The problem with influencers
There are already countless reasons to be wary of social media influencers. This latest one might even help them skirt the law.
Bosses are firing Gen Z workers fast
Gen Z grads are getting the axe — 6 in 10 employers have already let them go. Plus, a massive security breach exposed the private info of millions. Find out how one guy spent $1K on Facebook Ads to find love and about a new law that could change your car radio.
Apalachee High School shooting: A teacher says a newly installed tech system called Centegix prevented even more casualties on Sept. 4. Staff carry digital cards that instantly alert law enforcement to a physical threat on campus. Officers arrived at the school within two minutes of the first shots going off. We need this to roll out nationwide now.
Flying cars are taking off: Minnesota just passed a new “Jetsons law” to regulate airplane-to-car hybrids. Starting Aug. 1, you can fly (and drive) them on highways there, but you can’t take off directly from the road. Oh, and you have a tail number instead of a license plate!
Google's AI answers are a joke
The only way to truly delete iPhone pics, deepfake law written with help from ChatGPT, and a warning if your Samsung phone breaks.
The FCC investigates the sale of jammers on Amazon
Even though they’re against the law, you can find them online easily. Here’s what’s going on.
