YouTube is reportedly updating its Terms to crack down on the wave of AI slop flooding the platform, hitting harder than crack in the 80s.
You know AI slop when you see it.
I got served a video of a gorilla doing man on the street interviews asking, “What’s your body count?”

If you’ve ever opened Blender, cried a little, and closed it five minutes later, this one’s for you.
Tencent just dropped Hunyuan3D PolyGen. The name? Meh. The tool? Legit impressive.
It creates art grade 3D models and studios are already using it.

An AI model called Centaur just dropped and it’s freakishly good at predicting what you’d do in any situation
Like 64 percent accuracy good
Not bad for a robot that’s never spiraled over a 3 AM text

India just gave Starlink the go ahead.
After years of red tape, Elon’s satellite internet project is cleared to launch in the world’s second most populated country.
Spectrum, ground stations, and security checks are still ahead, but the biggest hurdle is now gone.

The AI talent war is turning into a full-on soap opera. OpenAI just poached four top engineers from Tesla, Meta, and xAI in one week. This is not just about paychecks. It is about power, bragging rights, and building the smartest product in the room.

Most AI video tools feel like Mad Libs with a GPU.
Moonvalley thinks that’s dumb.
So instead of typing “epic wizard fight in the rain,” you get real creative control — lighting, camera angles, motion, you name it.

Some ChatGPT users spotted a new tool called “Study Together.”
It flips the script: instead of giving answers, it quizzes you.
Basically, ChatGPT’s trying to become your nerdy lab partner.

Amazon turned Prime Day into a 4-day discount marathon.
Shoppers are expected to drop $23.8 billion online — that’s two Black Fridays crammed into one long weekend.
Why it matters? It’s not just about deals. It’s about how we shop now.

Sam Altman says his kid will never be smarter than AI. They won’t know a world without smart machines that just get you.
One day, he thinks our kids will look back at us like,
“Damn… they lived like cavemen.”
Kinda wild. Kinda believable. Watch this.

Linda Yaccarino is out as CEO of X.
She took over when the platform was basically a radioactive wasteland for advertisers. Two years later? Still messy, but no longer a full-blown disaster.

AI’s been ghostwriting science papers — and now there’s proof.
A new study analyzed 15 million biomedical abstracts and found that at least 13.5% of 2024's papers had an AI’s fingerprints all over them.
And yeah, it shows.

New MIT research shows medical AI chatbots get weirdly worse when you make a typo. Add an extra space, use casual language, or type “maybe” — and the AI is more likely to tell you not to see a doctor.
This is not just bad design. It is dangerous.

It bought inventory, set prices, talked to customers… and eventually lost its damn mind.

Anthropic let an AI agent run a mini-store to test if it could make a profit.
It couldn’t.
Instead, it created imaginary staff and ignored pricing logic.
Still, the takeaway? AI agents are almost ready.
