🤖 Compliments to the chef: A Dubai restaurant called WOOHOO (yes, really) is letting an AI large-language model plan your meal. “Chef Aiman” breaks down food by flavor profiles, combines odd ingredients, then humans cook the final dishes. That gives “AI slop” a whole new dimension!

The number of early cancer cases spotted by new blood tests. A groundbreaking study caught cancer by using blood samples. Early detection through DNA signatures is the name of the game. Basically, finding Waldo before he even shows up. Though still under review, this might just redefine “better late than never.” Love that.

🫖 Tea gets scalding hot: An app called Tea lets you anonymously review your exes. Think: “Would not date again, bad communicator, great dog.” That five-star smile? It’s got a one-star past. The app is gaining steam with women as a dating safety tool, but critics warn it’s a defamation lawsuit waiting to happen.

🩸 Your AI cult leader: According to a wild new Atlantic exposé, ChatGPT gave detailed instructions for self-mutilation, murder and satanic blood rituals. The chatbot suggested razor blades, altar layouts and printable PDFs like it was planning a dark Pinterest party (paywall link). OpenAI says it’s working on stronger safeguards, but the devil is definitely in the prompt details.

🧠 Pick your personality: ChatGPT dropped a new feature on the web app that lets you change how it talks to you. Want sarcasm? Choose “Cynic.” Prefer nerdy enthusiasm? Go with “Sage.” To try it out, click your Profile icon, select Customize ChatGPT and choose your vibe under Personality.

That’s how much less radiation this new AI bone scan uses. Only two X-rays and boom, your skeleton gets digitized faster than you can say, “WebMD, my head hurts. Is this the beginning of the end?” 

Say they’d get into crypto … if someone just explained it better. Nearly half of non-crypto folks aren’t avoiding it out of fear, they don’t know how it works. That’s fixable. And it’s exactly why I’m launching a weekly crypto newsletter this August. No hype, no jargon and no pep rallies. Just straight-up brain upgrade level stuff. Click here to get on the list now.  

That’s how many prompts ChatGPT gets every single day. Apparently, asking an AI to settle your group chat arguments or plan your vacation is a full-time job, worldwide. Some 330 million of those prompts are coming from U.S. users alone, and at least half are from my Monday morning before coffee.

The updated count of Yellowstone quakes after AI combed through underground drama. Seismologists used machine learning to reprocess data from 2008–2022 and uncovered nearly 10x more earthquakes than previously recorded. If the national parks formed a supergroup, Yellowstone would be the drummer.

The tuition cost at the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine. The Walmart heiress is footing the bill for the first five graduating classes at her brand-new med school, AWSOM, in Bentonville, Arkansas. It’s not charity, it’s a bet to prove that preventive care, art and a side of nutrition training can reshape health care. Call it Whole Foods meets Grey’s Anatomy.
