⚖️ “Your honor, as an LLM, I…”: If you’re having legal issues, regular folks are using ChatGPT to fight, and even win, lawsuits, from evictions to debt claims.

Algorithmic landlords: The nation’s biggest landlord, Greystar, just settled a $141 million class action after tenants said RealPage’s rent software helped landlords sync prices and push rents higher. The companies deny wrongdoing but agreed to stop sharing secret data. Millions of renters could see a check, probably smaller than their next rent increase. Keep an eye out for a claims form if you’re eligible.

🧱 Microsoft tightens the leash: Microsoft’s killing every sneaky way to skip signing in with a Microsoft account during Windows 11 setup. The newest test blocks local account work-arounds, forcing you online whether you like it or not. Supposedly, it’s about “configuration.” They swear it’s “for your security,” which is classic villain lingo.

🧠 Nano way! Scientists reversed Alzheimer’s in mice, using nanotech. Instead of just delivering medicine, tiny “smart” particles cut toxic brain proteins in half within an hour. Even more wild? The mice got their memory and cognitive function back. One giant leap for mousekind … and maybe one day, for us.

AT&T owes you: Two massive data breaches exposed info from 73 million AT&T customers, and the company’s dishing out $177M to make it go away. If your SSN was part of the leak, you could grab up to $7,500. Check if you’re eligible. Go to TelecomDataSettlement.com, enter your Class Member ID (or request one) and submit your claim by Nov. 18, 2025.

🛒 ChatGPT goes checkout: If you’re in the U.S., you can buy Etsy stuff inside ChatGPT. Shopify’s next. It’s single-item for now, Stripe handles payment, and merchants pay the fee, not you. Amazon and Walmart aren’t playing (yet).

A cloud in space: At Tech Week, Jeff Bezos said the AI boom will push massive data centers into orbit within 20 years. Basically, solar-powered, gigawatt clusters will beam information back by laser. He swears they’ll beat Earth’s power costs. Oh, a wild footnote from that talk? He predicts millions of people living in space, too.
