That’s how long it took for exercise to turn blood into a cancer fighter. In a new Edith Cowan University study, breast cancer survivors who did one high-intensity workout (seven HIIT rounds) had post-exercise blood that slowed or killed tumor cells in the lab. For the first time, scientists show exercise itself can deliver direct, drug-like anti-cancer effects (paywall link). I hate cancer.

That’s how much Larry Ellison’s fortune swelled in a single day. The windfall from Oracle stock spiking 42% on AI-fueled growth forecasts vaulted him past Elon Musk as the world’s richest person. For scale, his one-day gain is bigger than Nike’s entire market value. The profits are cloud and clear.

The price tag on Sam Altman’s Hawaiian hideaway. The OpenAI CEO just listed his 21.8-acre Kailua estate for nearly $6 million more than he paid in 2021. Ten bedrooms, a private marina, helicopter pad, theater, staff quarters and sweeping Pacific views. Not really a house, but more like a billionaire’s personal resort.

Now he’s debating multigenerational wealth tax strategies.

That’s the max cash author James Patterson is handing authors to finally hit “The End.” Some people buy yachts. Patterson funds novels. Each of the 12 authors out of hundreds of applications snagged up to $50K to finish their book, basically the literary version of a no-excuses gym membership.

The biggest copyright payout ever, courtesy of Anthropic. That’s more than some publishers make in a year, and all because Claude was caught with its hand in the pirate library cookie jar. Guess plagiarism does pay, just not in the way Anthropic hoped. If your book was in Anthropic’s pirated dataset, you’re automatically in the settlement class, with attorneys filing the full ~500,000-title list by Oct. 10.

The Oakland AIs: The Oakland Ballers are going full Moneyball 2.0. They’re going to be the first pro sports team to let an AI manager handle in-game lineup, substitutions and field positions. It’s a one-time stunt, but it’s a first for pro sports. Fans used to manage the team via app. They lost. Now it’s the bots’ turn.
