Retailers are getting really creative in how they get us to fill our carts. When I say creative, I don’t necessarily mean in a good way.
An estimated 79% of us shop online at least once a month, and 91% make purchases from our smartphones. Yes, me too. But how many of those purchases were manipulated?
Don’t die. That’s 46-year-old Bryan Johnson’s main goal in life.
Bryan made $400 million when he sold his credit card processing company to eBay. Today, he lives in Los Angeles as a self-proclaimed “rejuvenation athlete” — and spends his time and money trying to turn back the clock.
🚀 We’re toast: In tests using war game simulations, OpenAI’s highest-powered tool chose nuclear weapons. Why? When asked, the AI replied, “We have it!

AI-pocalypse: OpenAI admits ChatGPT might, kinda, almost help with creating bioweapons. Its study, with 100 brainy participants, showed AI is just 9% better than humans when it comes to cooking up evil schemes. I don’t feel any better about that.
That’s not Joe Biden on the phone: The Federal Communications Commission wants to tag AI-generated voice scams as “artificial.” Why? The Telephone Consumer Protection Act says all artificial voice calls are illegal. Yes, please.
💰 I, too, would like to make $56 billion: A Delaware judge axed Elon Musk’s $56 billion Tesla compensation package, saying the board couldn’t prove it was fair or show evidence they tried to negotiate. Tesla’s shares dropped 3% in a blink, and Musk is threatening to move the company to Texas.
💲 Netflix paved the way: Google is laughing all the way to the bank after telling people to delete their unused accounts. Their profits surged, with nearly 100 million paid storage users. The kicker: They’re still cutting almost 1,000 jobs.
