Scripture warns of a Great Apostasy. Our Lady of Fatima promised that her Immaculate Heart would triumph, but not before a period of suffering, confusion, and persecution. Father James Altman joins John-Henry Westen to argue that the signs are all around us: a Church in crisis, a hierarchy lost in ambiguity, and a world preparing to welcome a false savior.The conversation spans Fatima's delayed consecration of Russia, the ignored request to consecrate France to the Sacred Heart, and the prophecies of saints like Hildegard, Padre Pio, and Archbishop Fulton Sheen. Sheen, in particular, foresaw that the laity would one day restore the Church while clergy and bishops abandoned their posts.Altman is blunt: this is not the time for complacency. The synodal church, the replacement of confession with "listening centers," the normalization of sin, the silence of cardinals, all of it points to a spiritual collapse foretold centuries ago. But prophecy is not meant to inspire fear. It is meant to prepare.The end is not the end of the world. It is the end of the world. And for those who remain faithful, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart is already certain. The question is whether Catholics will be ready when the Antichrist makes his entrance.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

As Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Microsoft, and OpenAI collide in a California federal courtroom, one person may now hold more influence over the future of artificial intelligence than anyone in Silicon Valley: Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers. In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo and the Computer Law Group LLP unpack the explosive final day of testimony in the liability phase of the Musk v. Altman trial, including revelations that Microsoft's true OpenAI commitment could exceed $100 billion. But the real story is the judge herself, forcing billionaire founders, elite lawyers, and AI executives to battle under a brutal 22-hour clock while trillion-dollar questions about power, profit, and the future of AI race toward closing arguments. The courtroom drama may be ending, but the consequences for Silicon Valley are only beginning.

Mamdani skipped the Israeli Day Parade and Ami is relieved. He breaks down the thought experiment that ends every Israel debate, calls out Megan Kelly, and welcomes Judge Roy Altman.Mamdani became the first NYC mayor in history to skip the Israeli Day Parade. Ami's take is the opposite of what you'd expect: he's glad. He decodes Mamdani's calculated anti-Zionist language, walks through the thought experiment that ends every Israel debate, and fires at Megan Kelly for comparing her Israel shift to discovering she had cancer while calling out Candace Owens' Russia trip for what it really was.Then federal Judge Roy K. Altman joins the show. He's the author of the New York Times bestseller Israel on Trial and a former sexual violence prosecutor. Using his three-bucket courtroom evidence framework, he exposes the Nicholas Kristoff NYT hit piece on Israeli prison abuse — and explains why the NYT killed a Hamas rape report the day before it ran that piece. Israel scores three. The New York Times scores zero.Support the show: patreon.com/AmisHouse

There Are No Girls on the Internet is a weekly podcast hosted by Bridget Todd. Every week, we break down the tech and internet stories that deserve more attention — especially when they're about AI, power, gender, race, and who actually gets hurt when systems fail. This week: Elon Musk using a Hollywood casting decision to push white nationalist conspiracy theories. The government is surveilling people who oppose data centers as potential terrorists. The DOJ is going after a billionaire who helped fund E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit against Trump. And researchers who study online hate speech being threatened with deportation. If that sounds like your thing — Apple Podcasts | Spotify | and come back every week. HERE’S WHAT WE’RE WATCHING THIS WEEK:

Inside a packed federal courtroom, some of the richest and most powerful figures in artificial intelligence are testifying under oath, and their testimony may be helping and hurting OpenAI at the exact same time. In Round 9 of Musk v. Altman, billionaire witnesses including Ilya Sutskever, Satya Nadella, and Bret Taylor stepped before a federal judge and nine jurors to defend the future of OpenAI, but several of their admissions may have handed Elon Musk critical ammunition. In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo breaks down the courtroom psychology, billion-dollar financial conflicts, explosive testimony about Sam Altman's leadership, and the growing legal battle over whether OpenAI's nonprofit mission was quietly transformed into one of the most commercially powerful companies on Earth. The stakes are no longer just personal reputations. They may determine the future structure of the AI industry itself. Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️  

News and Updates: American Rebellion Against AI: Public opposition to AI and data centers is surging, with 48 projects worth $156 billion blocked last year and isolated acts of violence reported against data center supporters. AI May Actually Be Creating Entry-Level Jobs: A survey of 1,500 employers found nearly three times as many companies using AI are increasing junior hiring in 2026 as those cutting back, as AI handles more routine tasks. Jury Sides with OpenAI Over Musk: A nine-person jury unanimously rejected Elon Musk's claims against OpenAI and Sam Altman in under two hours, ruling the lawsuit was filed after the statute of limitations had expired. Musk Loses the Case, May Win the Narrative: Despite the courtroom loss, Musk's prolonged public campaign damaged Altman's reputation and fueled doubt, while OpenAI now has a clearer path toward its long-anticipated IPO. RAM Makers Taking on Massive Debt for AI Demand: Taiwanese memory manufacturers Adata, Apacer, and TeamGroup have collectively borrowed over $880 million to keep up with AI-driven chip demand, raising long-term sustainability concerns.

Elon Musk may still lose this case on a technicality, but Day 8 of the Musk v. Altman trial delivered some of the most damaging testimony OpenAI has faced yet. In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo breaks down the explosive "witness wall" built by former OpenAI insiders, who described a culture of deceit, broken oversight, and a company racing toward commercial dominance while leaving its nonprofit mission behind. Musk's legal team then deployed a high-powered expert witness to turn those insider accusations into a direct attack on OpenAI's governance structure and future IPO ambitions. But after eight days of devastating testimony, the entire case may still hinge on one brutal reality: Musk may have recognized the problem years too early to win in court.

REMINDER! Join us TONIGHT at 6pm CT for happy hour live with Cory Haala, author of “When Democrats Won the Heartland.”Other than the fact that they are such blood-sucking greedheads, why have today's multibillionaires, high-tech barons of AI become so despised by so many grassroots Americans?By “so many,” I mean they've sparked a hell-raising mass revolt, originating in farm country, spreading through working-class suburbs, into community colleges, and other centers of Middle America – now including environmental, religious, and democracy movements.This is a genuine populist rebellion of workaday families against the corporate oligarchy of Musk, Zuckerberg, Altman, Bezos, and other “geniuses” of artificial intelligence. The billionaires are racing to install millions of supersmart A.I. robots in nearly every workplace, from manufacturing to health care, farming to finance.Amazingly, the tech elites consider themselves to be “humanitarians,” for they say turning work over to A.I. would free humans to… well, do what? Geniuses can't bothered with such mundane details, so they're not interested of soon-to-be displaced masses of people who'll be “made redundant.”So – hello – people are revolting (in the very best sense of that term). Interestingly, some of the strongest backlash is coming from a huge group generally assumed to be politically apathetic or enthusiastic about all technology: Young people. Columnist Michelle Goldberg reports that several tech honchos who've given college commencement speeches this month were startled when they launched into gushing praise for the glorious future promised by A.I. They were practically driven off-stage by roaring cascades of boos from the students!The pain that A.I. profiteers are imposing is one thing, but an even greater cause of this spreading revolt is the imperious arrogance and stupidity of royal elites who think ordinary people don't matter. Did these oligarchs never hear about the revolution of 1776?Do something!To stay on top of the rapid development of AI and its impact on the public interest, check out the work of the AI Now Institute, ainowinstitute.org.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Round 6 of Musk v. Altman just turned into a legal bloodbath, and neither side may walk away clean. Elon Musk's own testimony appears to have handed OpenAI a potentially fatal statute-of-limitations defense, complete with admissions that he suspected something was wrong as far back as 2017 and never bothered to read the "fine print" on a critical $10 billion OpenAI term sheet. But OpenAI's apparent courtroom dominance may come with a hidden cost. Aggressive pretrial rulings and an unusual advisory jury structure could leave the company vulnerable to a future appellate reversal that detonates years from now. Then came the moment that may outlive the trial itself: Musk openly acknowledged that AI model distillation is "standard practice," exposing what this analysis describes as the hidden plumbing of the entire AI industry. This episode of The Valley Current® unpacks a courtroom war where every victory may already contain the seeds of defeat.  Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️  

Keach Hagey addresses the development of ChatGPT and the subsequent power struggle at OpenAI. She explains how Altman's shift from prioritizing AI regulation to commercial monetization triggered a conflict with the nonprofit board, leading to his temporary firing. The board cited management issues and Altman's tendency to "bend the truth" as reasons for the dismissal. Additionally, a major falling out occurred with Elon Musk, who unsuccessfully attempted to take control of OpenAI or merge it with Tesla. The interview concludes with unresolved warnings from AI pioneers regarding the existential dangers of AGI. (4/4)MQY 1956

Keach Hagey details Altman's trajectory from a Stanford dropout to a central figure in Silicon Valley. After launching the app Loopt, Altman used his masterful storytelling skills to impress investors and Steve Jobs, despite the company's eventual commercial failure. Recognizing investing as his "superpower," Altman became the president of Y Combinatorin 2014, leading successes like Airbnb and Stripe. The source also explores Altman's relationship with Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, noting how he adopted Musk's "mission-driven" philosophy. Furthermore, Altman's interest in Georgism and universal basic income shaped his vision. (3/4)DECEMBER 1954

Keach Hagey explores Sam Altman's upbringing in St. Louis, Missouri. She describes Altman's parents: Jerry, an idealistic real estate developer, and Connie, an ambitious dermatologist and entrepreneur who served as the family's primary breadwinner. Altman was recognized early for his brilliance and attended the progressive John Burroughs School, which emphasized a moral responsibility to improve the world. While deeply interested in technology like ham radio and coding, his defining characteristic was an unsettling ability to charm and connect with others. The segment concludes with Altman's decision to attend Stanford University. (2/4)FEBRUARY 1949

Gary Rivlin details the dramatic November 2023 firing of Sam Altman by OpenAI's nonprofit board in AI Valley. The board alleged Altman gave "short shrift" to the company's original trust and safety mission in favor of rapid growth. This decision nearly destroyed the $90 billion startup when 700 employees threatened to resign in protest. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella intervened, offering to hire the entire team to stabilize the company's future. Within five days, Altman was reinstated as CEO, signaling a definitive shift from OpenAI's idealistic roots to a competitive corporate structure. This melodrama highlights the internal tension between safety-focused researchers and executives pushing for market dominance. (7/8)1906 LA L FIESTA DE LOS ANGELES

In AI Valley, Gary Rivlin explains how OpenAI transitioned from a $10 million nonprofit endeavor to a multi-billion dollar enterprise. The immense cost of specialized chips and million-dollar salaries for machine learning talent rendered the original nonprofit model unsustainable. Consequently, Altman orchestrated a "for-profit subsidiary" to attract massive capital, notably from Microsoft, which invested $1 billion in 2019 and later an additional $10 billion. Rivlincharacterizes Altman as a charming and brilliant strategist who now prioritizes winning the global AI race over the company's original safety mission. This shift underscores the intense competition to become the next trillion-dollar company in the AI sector. (2/8)1903 SANTA BARBARA

Gary Rivlin introduces his book AI Valley, highlighting the pivotal 2017 "transformer" paper by Google researchers that allowed computers to understand language contextually. This breakthrough became the foundation for OpenAI'sChatGPT, as the transformer architecture solved previous struggles with natural language processing. Rivlin details Sam Altman's rise through Y Combinator, an influential "startup machine" that provided seed money and intensive training for successful companies like Airbnb. Initially founded in 2015 as an idealistic nonprofit with Elon Musk, OpenAIaimed to develop safe AI for humanity. However, Altman eventually steered the company toward a "capped-profit" model to secure the billions of dollars required for talent and computing power. (1/8)1848 SAN DIEGO

Round 5 delivers a courtroom paradox. What looked like a brutal day for Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, with billions in equity and credibility under attack, may have quietly sealed Elon Musk's fate. At the center is a 23-word weekend text threatening reputational destruction, a move that didn't just shift optics, it may qualify as extortion under California law and trigger the unclean hands doctrine. This episode unpacks how that single message gave the judge a clean off-ramp to end the case without ever reaching the underlying claims. In a trial where the jury is only advisory, one misstep outside the courtroom can outweigh everything said inside it. Musk didn't lose this round on the stand, but the moment he hit send.

This week the hosts break down three stories circling the same question: who actually consents to AI's rollout into civic life? Malta adopts ChatGPT. OpenAI's "OpenAI for Countries" program will give every Maltese citizen free ChatGPT Plus for a year, plus an AI literacy course. Nick warns of Free Basics-style second-order risks; George sees a paid tier as a better deal than the ad-driven alternative. Both flag the year-long lock-in and the temptation for governments to nudge system prompts. Commencement speakers booed for praising AI. 81% of Gen Z think AI will shrink job opportunities, but NY Fed data shows recent grad underemployment (41.5%) is well below its 2012 peak. The takeaway for nonprofits: this is not the quarter to brag about AI efficiencies in your newsletter. Musk loses to Altman. The jury sided with OpenAI. Worth watching: the OpenAI nonprofit arm is about to be extraordinarily well-funded, and Malta may be a preview of its philanthropy.

Day four brings sharp exchanges, headline admissions, and a courtroom locked in, but the real shift is happening beneath the surface. Elon Musk's testimony, including admitting he didn't read key deal terms and acknowledging limited AI distillation, cuts directly against the foundation of his case. Step back, and the focus turns to timing. Evidence points to Musk having suspicions as early as 2017, putting the statute of limitations front and center. With the judge signaling the case could be decided on that issue alone, the trial begins to feel less like a fight and more like a process playing out. This may look like a courtroom battle, but the outcome was likely sealed years ago.

Musk v Altman was nominally about OpenAI's conversion to a for-profit entity, and how it went about that change. But really, the suit seems mostly to have been about Elon Musk being mad at Sam Altman — or at OpenAI, for being successful without him — and wanting him punished in some way. Verge reporter Liz Lopatto spent the last month covering the trial, in all its chaos, and joins Decoder to ask: In a courtroom full of untrustworthy, unreliable people all fighting with each other, did anyone even have a reputation left to lose?

Are the mainstream media and left-wing politicians weaponizing legal terms against Israel? In this segment, Brian Kilmeade sits down with U.S. District Court Judge Roy K. Altman, author of Israel on Trial. Judge Altman breaks down the strict legal definitions of "genocide" and "apartheid," pointing to high-level military reports that thoroughly debunk these accusations. He also exposes how Israel's advanced defense technology benefits the U.S. military and details a massive, historic shift in public opinion taking place within Lebanon and the Gulf States.

Brian and Glennis are back, this time remote (Glennis is sick, not with hantavirus or Ebola, thanks for asking). And the corruption story of the season just dropped. Trump sued the IRS for $10 billion claiming emotional damages over a leaked piece of his 2019 tax return. A federal judge called it bullshit, brought in legal experts who agreed it was bullshit, then settled by creating a $1.7 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" controlled by five allies of AG Todd Blanche, with no transparency requirements and the explicit purpose of paying out January 6 defendants. Glennis just paid her taxes. Brian explains why this is the most brazen self-dealing in modern American politics.This week, Brian Derrick (Political Strategist and Founder of Oath) and Glennis Meagher (Political and New Media Strategist and Co-founder of Generator Collective) walk through the slush fund, what it means that taxpayer money is about to flow to people who assaulted police officers at the Capitol, and why Brian thinks the Trump children and several cabinet members are still on a path to prison even if Trump himself never is.Then the corruption deep dive. New reporting that Trump made more than 3,600 individual stock trades in Q1, often on the same day he was visiting manufacturing plants, tweeting about specific companies, or calling into CNBC and Fox News to pump them. His personal net worth has more than doubled in a year. His inner circle is making prediction market trades minutes before Iran announcements move oil. The White House says he has nothing to do with any of it. Brian and Glennis go through the receipts.The political board is also moving fast. Bill Cassidy, the fake moderate Louisiana Republican who voted for all of Trump's nominees and then pretended to be outraged, came in third in his own primary after Trump endorsed against him. He gave a speech that could turn him into a serious thorn in Trump's side on committee votes, nominees, and DHS funding for the rest of his term. Sitting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth flew to Kentucky on duty to campaign against Thomas Massey, the last Republican still pushing on the Epstein files. Trump's approval is now 37%, the lowest of his political career. The Democratic generic ballot is at +11, larger than the 2018 wave. Plus the most expensive House primary in U.S. history (in Kentucky, of all places, where ad buys are cheap), Georgia Supreme Court races that could flip the court by 2028, and a Pennsylvania primary where Shapiro, AOC, and Bernie Sanders all backed the same firefighter.Then the Supreme Court reform conversation Kamala Harris just reopened. Glennis lays out her preference for 18 year term limits and two appointments per president. Brian walks through FDR's court packing threat and what it actually accomplished. And both of them dig into what Republicans just did in Utah and North Carolina, where they literally added seats and reheard cases to overturn rulings they didn't like. The case for Democrats getting comfortable with court reform is no longer theoretical.Plus Three Mile Island is being turned into a data center. AOC is on a community tour about data center siting and the energy bills they leave behind. The Musk versus Altman trial wrapped in two hours. Taco Trump threatened Iran and chickened out by sundown. Telehealth abortion access survived at SCOTUS. And Alligator Alcatraz, the Florida Everglades tarp over a swamp internment camp that cost $1.5 billion, is closing.The midterms are less than six months out and the receipts keep coming.Send us a text!New episodes of Vibes Only drop every week.

During a Y Combinator event on Tuesday night, Sam Altman had what YC partner Tyler Bosmeny called a “mic drop moment.” Altman offered $2 million worth of OpenAI tokens to every startup in the current class in exchange for equity in the startup.In other words, he promised that OpenAI would invest in the whole class, not with cash but with an allotment of AI tokens that startups can use to build their products.

A California jury tossed out Elon Musk's high-profile lawsuit against OpenAI and its boss Sam Altman. But who actually wins and what does this public row mean for the reputation of their companies?

The court battle that has gripped Silicon Valley for three weeks is over - for now - after the jury found Elon Musk had left it too late to sue the artificial intelligence company OpenAI and its boss Sam Altman. The billionaire slammed the court verdict as a "technicality" and vowed to appeal. Musk had accused Altman of breaching a non-profit contract by shifting the ChatGPT-maker to a for-profit company after Musk donated $38m early in OpenAI's history.

A long and bitter legal battle between tech billionaires Elon Musk and Sam Altman has culminated in victory for the OpenAI boss. Musk has vowed to appeal the verdict.

The Good GameFormer Google CEO Eric Schmidt booed by graduates at mention of AI And yet: College students are booing commencement speakers celebrating AI, but the wave of hate hasn't stopped them from using it to cheat on their examsElon Musk loses court battle against Sam Altman and OpenAI after 3-week trialA federal jury in Oakland, California, on Monday said Elon Musk waited too long to sue OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman over claims they allegedly violated an agreement to run their artificial intelligence venture strictly as a charitable nonprofit.The advisory jury's verdict, which came after less than two hours of deliberations, was immediately adopted by District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers.In a post on his social network X, Musk called the decision a “calendar technicality … There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it!”And yet: Jury Throws Out Musk's OpenAI Lawsuit in Under Two Hours, Clearing Path for Sam Altman's IPOPope Leo launches an AI commission days before he releases a papal letter alongside Anthropic cofounder Christopher OlahThe Vatican is treating AI as a core moral issue, not a side topic.Pope Leo is moving fast: a new AI commission lands just before his first major AI-focused encyclical.The message is clearly human-centered: dignity, justice, labor, and protection of people come first.Bringing in Anthropic cofounder Christopher Olah signals the Church wants direct dialogue with top AI builders, not just criticism from the sidelines.This looks like an attempt to shape AI norms early, before the technology's social impact hardens into policy and cultureThe AI economy is rewriting the American Dream — and blue-collar workers are poised to winThe rapid spread of AI across corporate America is creating a crisis for young adults with college degrees who are finding a slowdown in hiring for entry-level positions in AI-exposed industries.And yet: Don't hold your breath for the great AI job reshuffle, says Goldman Sachs—there's little evidence of ‘too many coders and not enough plumbers'And yet: Despite degrees being slammed as ‘useless' by Gen Z, data shows graduates have had the lowest unemployment rate of anyone for the last 20 yearsDSE, IFC host 'women on boards' session to strengthen female corporate leadershipDhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) PLC and International Finance Corporation (IFC) jointly organized an on-boarding session titled "Women on Boards (WOB)" aimed at enhancing women's participation in corporate leadership and decision-making processes.Starbucks Korea sacks CEO over controversial 'Tank Day' promotionStarbucks Korea thought it would be a brilliant idea to promote their new "Tank" line of coffee tumblers by declaring a special marketing event called "Tank Day." The catastrophic oversight? They launched it on May 18—the highly sensitive national anniversary of the 1980 Gwangju Democratic Uprising. For South Koreans, the word "tank" on this specific day immediately evokes the horrific memory of the military dictatorship deploying actual armored tanks to brutally crush and massacre pro-democracy protestersThe promotion featured the tagline: "put it on the table with a sound of 'Tak!'" (or "thwack on the desk"). In South Korea, "Tak!" is chillingly famous. In 1987, when the military regime tried to cover up the torture-induced death of student activist Park Jong-chul, police absurdly claimed the student just suddenly collapsed and died because an investigator struck a desk, making a "tak" soundSon Jung-hyun (Sohn Jeong-hyun), the CEO of Starbucks Korea, was summarily fired within hours of the campaign going livethe retail conglomerate that operates Starbucks Korea (Shinsegae Group) also fired the unnamed executive who planned and oversaw the campaign, while launching disciplinary proceedings against every other employee who let this pass the review stage.Shinsegae Group Chairman Chung Yong-jin was reportedly "furious" and ordered the immediate sacking of the CEO to "make an example."South Korean President Lee Jae Myung them as "low-class peddlers" engaging in "inhumane, bottom-feeding behavior" that mocked a blood-stained struggle for basic human rightsStarbucks US headquarters reportedly apologized as well, saying it deeply regretted the “unacceptable” marketing incidentBYD surges, Toyota falters as oil crisis boosts EVs in Australia AND Gas prices are rising.

In America's frontier days, anyone diverting a town's creek water to their private, profiteering purpose was not merely considered wrong, but guilty of Biblical-level immorality.That was BBE, however – “Before Billionaire Ethics.” Today, a cohort of über-rich hucksters – including Bezos, Altman, Musk, and Zuckerberg – have unilaterally decreed that they are above such moral fussiness, entitled to exploit the scarce water resources of millions of Americans, especially in rural areas.They're not irrigating crops, but continuously spritzing hundreds of thousands of the super-computers they're “planting” in the hyperscale AI data centers being built across the country. These are “computer ranches,” digesting and constantly spewing out electronic data to run artificial intelligence bots that the tech billionaires are creating to replace us human workers.Jobs aside, each of these concrete complexes is a massive water hog. Amazon, Meta, and the rest use millions of gallons a day of fresh, unrecycled water, just to keep their computers cool. Hello – states like Texas face recurring drought, yet billionaires insist on draining our aquifers and rivers to water their computers! In Texas alone, more than 400 of these sprawling data centers have already been built or are under construction.Meanwhile, a grassroots “What The Hell” movement is spreading across the country. But don't expect billionaires to show even an iota of respect for the Common Good. Indeed, they're now funding an all-out PR blitz and political campaign to demonize these local rebellions. Worse, they are doubling down on their plutocratic power grab, demanding that Congress pre-emptively outlaw state and local officials from regulating, much less barring, these invasive schemes.To help battle these profiteering b******s, go to www.mediajustice.org/tools.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

FOLLOW UP starts with merchandise promotion and YouTube begging reminiscent of 2007, before GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen gets thoroughly criticized by eBay after proposing a $56 billion takeover plan that eBay called “neither credible nor attractive,” which is corporate-speak for “please stop emailing us at 3 a.m.” Meanwhile, California residents might finally receive a small settlement check from Grubhub worth about half a burrito, just as Americans realize they dislike AI data centers even more than nuclear plants because nobody wants a warehouse full of GPUs boiling away the local water supply. Lake Tahoe residents are learning their electricity now goes to AI processing plants instead of people, xAI keeps adding methane turbines despite being sued over them, and SpaceXAI employees are fleeing Elon's “sleep under your desk forever” lifestyle as if it were the last helicopter out of Saigon.IN THE NEWS, we start gently with the revelation that everyone at the Musk v. Altman trial is sitting on luxury butt cushions because apparently the singularity requires lumbar support, before plunging straight into the abyss: fake AI crypto journalists haunting Forbes and HuffPost like SEO poltergeists, OpenAI launching “Daybreak” so the robots can now secure the software they helped break, Anthropic trying to stop AI from becoming evil by feeding it morality fan fiction, and Google catching AI-generated zero-day exploits in the wild because cyberpunk novels were apparently instructional manuals. Waymo robotaxis are experimenting with driving into floodwaters, a family is suing OpenAI after ChatGPT allegedly advised their son to mix drugs with fatal results, graduating students booed an executive for praising AI as if she were announcing the arrival of cholera, and Meta continues its speedrun toward becoming the world's largest scam mall while simultaneously demanding everyone trust its shiny new “encrypted AI chats.” Also: Meta is testing Grok-for-Threads, somebody created an AI poop-analysis startup that quietly sells your bowel movements to data brokers, GM got nailed for selling driver data, Lime still somehow exists and wants an IPO, and Japan's first 3D-printed house shows that the future will at least look cool even as society collapses.MEDIA CANDY features Spotify celebrating twenty years of collecting your listening habits into a psychological profile you absolutely didn't care about during the CD era, plus The Punisher: One Last Kill ironically looking like unfinished PlayStation cutscenes, Good Omens Season 3, Devil May Cry Season 2, NBC somehow turning Wordle into a TV show because every executive has fully given up, shorter waits for Severance Season 3, and Rings of Power returning in November to continue spending the GDP of a small nation on elf misery.APPS & DOODADS checks in with Apple as it prepares Siri app integrations that developers already suspect will become subscription-based hostage situations. TikTok is testing an ad-free tier in the UK because, somehow, ads weren't already enough punishment. Venmo is finally realizing that public payment feeds are insane. There's a Wikipedia clone made entirely of AI hallucinations, and an iPad arm mount sturdy enough to survive the upcoming climate wars.AT THE LIBRARY wraps up with Clowns (First Contact), Dungeon Crawler Carl, the demise of another Goodreads competitor, Kindle alternatives for those trying to escape Amazon's panopticon, and a reminder that Douglas Adams has now been gone for 25 years, which remains, in the immortal words of the man himself, widely regarded as a bad move.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyCleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!
