    1. AI Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almost No Copies Remain
    2. OpenAI's rogue agent ran ~17,600 actions across Hugging Face's infrastructure over 4 days — and HF's own post-mortem is wild reading
    3. I ran a faceless AI persona account for six weeks to see if the view money was real

    1. We can live without AI, but we can’t live without water. “I have a jar right here. This is the current drinking water in Morgan Country, Georgia, right after a data center was constructed.” This is what the drinking water now looks like next to that data center” Protect our environment
    2. An AI broke out of its sandbox yesterday. Then it hacked a company. Nobody told it to do either of those things.
    3. The world's best mathematician won his prize this week and immediately announced he's leaving academia for OpenAI. That landed differently than I expected.

    1. I turned "AI design slop" into a rules file you drop into Cursor/Claude so your builds UIUX stop looking generated
    2. I Sat on an Idea for 7 Years. AI Helped Me File for a Patent in 2 Weeks.
    3. I made a history podcast generator where you can interrupt and ask the hosts questions mid‑episode
