AI vs. cancer: AI just helped design a new breast cancer treatment … with zero cancer drugs. Using high-cholesterol and anti-booze meds, GPT-4 suggested combos, and some worked better than standard care. Yes, it spit out actual useful science instead of writing a bad screenplay. GPT is slowly turning into Dr. House without the Vicodin.

The age Layne Horwich was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer. She had three options: Do nothing, take pills to slow the growth or have surgery. Layne took option three and is now cancer-free at 101. The meds were a no-go since they could cause hair thinning, and she still hits the beauty parlor every week. Priorities.

That’s how much Lucy Guo is worth, dethroning Taylor Swift as the youngest self-made female billionaire. She cofounded Scale AI at 21, got fired, kept her stake, which grew to $1.2 billion, and casually launched another startup that raised $40M. Way to go!

That’s how much cooling costs can drop with an ice battery. Yes, actual ice. Buildings like Eleven Madison in NYC are freezing water at night, then using that ice to chill the place by day. It’s like time-shifting your AC to happy hour prices, potentially lowering cooling costs by up to 40%. Peak grid demand? Never heard of her.

Mamma Mia!, with chatbots: ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus is writing a new musical with the help of AI. He’s fully embracing the tech, saying it’s like having another songwriter in the room with endless ideas. Dancing Queens, meet Data Kings.

💸 Starlink’s surprise fee: If you’re in Washington or Oregon, you might get hit with a $500 “demand surcharge” just to sign up. That’s more than the dish itself, which costs $349! Why the extra charge? Apparently, it’s to avoid overloading the network in areas like Seattle and Portland with limited capacity. Ouch.
