That meeting that could have been an email? Youâre on it, eyes glossing over rambling updates, Toddâs screen share failing for the fourth time (use a mouse, Todd) or what appears to be a seance: âIf you can hear me now, make a sign.â
Thatâs my childhood home above at 111 Washington Avenue, South Amboy, NJ. I was about 10 when I knocked out my front tooth on the swing set. There was also the day when I made the very bad decision to throw a snowball at a passing police car while the officer had his windows open. (Yes, I hit him. No, I donât recommend it.)
Oops, AI faked our bust: This is bad. Maine cops posted a drug bust photo, then realized it was âsubstantiallyâ AI-edited. Packaging on the drugs looked like AI gibberish, and people called them out. An officer used an editing app to slap the departmentâs patch in, and it warped the photoâs details. Officers swore theyâre not deepfaking meth. Itâs just their app skills are trash.
What Meta reportedly dangled to top AI researchers. Zuckâs new Superintelligence Lab is in full poach mode, trying to lure OpenAI stars with equity-rich packages. First-year compensation? Over $100 million in some cases. OpenAI has already lost seven staffers to Meta. Execs are saying itâs âlike someone broke into our home.â
Every time my energy bill arrives, I swear it looks more like a ransom note: â$412 or the AC gets it.â
But guess what? Some good (actually smart) tech can help liberate you from this hostage situation, with real savings.
July 4th is all about independence, fireworks and maybe reinventing how many hot dogs a stomach can physically hold.
But financial freedom? Nothing says âIâm a prisoner of the bad side of capitalismâ like paying for three streaming services just to rewatch The Office on a loop.
Apple v. Everyone: This isnât surprising news, but you should be aware. Apple tried to block a DOJ antitrust suit saying it rigs the smartphone market, and lost. The case will go to trial, with feds claiming Apple bullies devs, locks out competition and basically gatekeeps iOS. Apple says itâs just âinnovation.â
â ď¸ AI ate the home page: First, the good news. ChatGPTâs referrals to sites are way up (25x!) from zero. The bad news? Nearly 70% of Google searches now end in zero clicks to sites. It just doesnât matter if youâre top of Google search results anymore. SEO used to be gold. Spoiler: I predicted this over two years ago and got laughed at.
You finally made it to your gate, overpriced coffee in hand, sprinting like your vacation depends on it, only to be greeted by those two soul-crushing words: Flight Delayed. Maybe it starts with 30 minutes ⌠then an hour ⌠then four.
AI-proof, for now: Turns out some white-collar gigs are harder to kill than expected. Looks like weâre gonna need tens of thousands more accountants, CEOs and financial advisers by 2030, even as AI keeps eating jobs like itâs at a buffet. AI also canât replace CEOs because it hasnât learned golf yet.
