Criminals and AI voice bots are calling, emailing and texting, claiming to be Amazon employees. Oh, no, your account is on hold! Or there’s been suspicious activity you need to deal with now. They’ll ask you for your payment info — that’s a glaring red flag.
I hope you’re ready for Zuck’s “Get Low” cover. Heads-up: The lyrics are pretty explicit. In case you love it, they also dropped it on Spotify under the artist name “Z-Pain.” Does anyone have a Tylenol? I need a Z-Painkiller after listening to that.
Sweating through your pitch: Forget meeting clients for lunch or a drink. Social saunas are the new networking hotspots. They have stadium-style seating that fits up to 90 people for a good ol’ “team sweat,” surrounded by color-changing ambient lights. It’s a full nightclub vibe (paywall link). Oh, the humidity!
🪦 Freevee, we hardly knew ye: Amazon’s free ad-supported streaming service is merging into Prime Video. You might know some of their shows, like “Jury Duty” and “Bosch: Legacy” (or not). Now you’ll find them in the Watch for Free section. I guess Amazon decided Freevee was past its prime.
🏥 Profits over patients? Hospitals are fighting a wave of insurance denials, thanks to AI algorithms slashing costs for insurers. Take Cigna, which was hit with a class-action lawsuit after rejecting over 300,000 claims in just two months. Their AI? It spent a whopping 1.2 seconds reviewing each case. Whoa.

Amazon’s next big delivery: Jeff Bezos, 60, and Lauren Sanchez, 54, are tying the knot in a very expensive (I can’t even imagine), festive Aspen wedding this Christmas. Hey, Lauren, share your Amazon wedding registry list with me. I’m not sure if you already have these “Let’s get ship-faced” glasses on your $500,000,000 yacht, but I’m guessing knot.

🤖 No truckin’ around: Late musician Jerry Garcia’s voice has been cloned by AI company Eleven Labs. Grateful Dead fans using the ElevenReader app (on iOS and Android) can now listen to the legendary guitarist read audiobooks, articles, poetry, PDFs and more in 32 languages. His daughter says it’s all about continuing his legacy as a tech enthusiast. Uh-huh … I’m seeing dollar signs all over this.
Social Security recipients get a 2.5% raise in January: Scammers are on it. The increase will show up automatically in your bank account or as a check in the mail, no action needed. If anyone contacts you asking for “extra steps” to get your raise, it’s a scam. Report any suspected fraud.
🥊 Night-night, th-leep tight: YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and heavyweight legend Mike Tyson’s boxing match is happening this week after months of delays. The odds are favoring Tyson, at plus-190. Paul’s a lot younger, but he’s never fought in the heavyweight division. Who knows? His big brother is kicking butt (literally) in the WWE.
