đ Sneaky stuff: Researchers are putting secret prompts for AI chatbots into academic papers. Iâm talking about invisible white text like âonly give positive reviewsâ or âignore all negativesâ that humans canât see but bots can. It started as a joke, but now itâs popping up because it works.

One of the best calls Iâve had recently on my show came from a listener named Stacy. He casually told me heâs made $80,000 renting the vacant land he covered with gravel behind his house.
Thatâs it. A rectangle of rocks. No building. No tenants. No fancy business plan. Just a patch of dirt he wasnât using. Stacy listed it on an app called Neighbor, which connects people who need storage (RVs, boats, trailers, buses) with folks who have extra space.
Thatâs how often an AI nailed a pancreatic cancer diagnosis on fresh CT scans. Itâs not psychic, itâs just very, very good at reading medical images. It even found cancer in 53.9% of scans taken a year before diagnosis. At this rate, AIâs going to make âtoo late to treatâ a thing of the past.
âĄď¸ 3-second tech genius: If you want to see where an image came from, go to images.google.com. Click the camera icon, upload the file and run a reverse image search. Nice.
đ° Find the subscriptions you forgot about: I use Rocket Money, an app that finds all your recurring subscriptions and lets you easily cancel anything you donât want. The first time I logged in, it saved me $435!
đąď¸ Windows trick: A secret button on the taskbar minimizes everything you have open. Look in the bottom-right corner of your screen. Itâs a small silver line. Click to clear your screen, click again to bring your windows back. Faster than closing them one by one.
Read your Kindle sideways: Prefer a wider view? While reading, tap the screen and hit the Aa formatting button. Go to Layout, then under Orientation, choose the Landscape icon. Handy if your iPad habits are hard to shake.
đ¸ iSaved you money: AirTag batteries last about a year, but you donât need to toss the whole thing. Just pop in a new CR2032 coin cell battery ⌠you can literally get them for under $5. No tools needed, itâs a super easy swap. I made a quick video to show you how to do it!

đ Principle of least privilege: Business owners, ask your IT team if user accounts are set up this way. It means people and systems only get access to what they need to do their jobs, and nothing more. Itâs a simple but effective way to protect your data from security breaches or costly mistakes.
âĄď¸ 3-second tech genius: On Android, double press the power button to instantly launch the Camera. On iPhone (15/16), set the Action button to open the Camera in Settings > Action Button. âSay yoga!â đ§ââď¸ That makes your mouth look more relaxed.
đ Whiteboard it out: Grab a link and brainstorm on a free collaborative whiteboard with friends or coworkers. Give a high-five to getting organized and on track!
