Generative AI this, generative AI that, how about you generate some revenue

Building a boring SaaS startup is now a 🔥 opportunity because every founder is distracted with building shiny AI startups that don't solve any problems

AI is getting better at offering emotional support, validating feelings, responding calmly. New research shows something darker: Lonely users often feel worse after extended use. More seen, but more stuck. Are we building connection — or just deepening dependency?

Reddit users unknowingly took part in an AI manipulation experiment. Researchers deployed GPT comments across real Reddit threads without consent. The bots were convincing. Users were not told. Now the backlash is brewing: Would you want to know if a comment was fake?

Anyone else noticed the subtle but at the same time, insane new voice on ChatGPT voice chat? My AI now laughs, has better tonal inflections and is so close to being indistinguishable from a human!

An AI passed peer review. Fully automated. No edits. No humans. And no one caught it. The system isn’t ready for this. Peer review relies on trust. Quietly using it to validate commercial AI breaks that trust.

LLMs can beat me in chess. But ask them to cooperate? Total collapse. I dug into the research. GPT-4 is ruthless in solo logic. But fails at basic teamwork. Social intelligence isn’t just missing. It was never trained in it.

Crazy improvement

Google didn’t die. It sold out. Now AI is heading the same way. Faster. Cleaner. Monetized from day one. Sponsored answers. Fake citations. No sources. Optimized for clicks, not clarity. We’ve seen this movie before. We’re just watching it on 2x speed.

Someone smarter than me please explain the Payload CMS acquisition by Figma. I get it’s a backend, but what’s the secret sauce here??

OpenAI acquired Statsig for $1.1 billion, a landmark DOJ ruling forces Google to open some search data to rivals but stops short of a breakup. The trend of AI-driven job cuts continues, with Salesforce reducing its customer support staff by 4,000.
