Olympian OnlyFans Accounts
Could you imagine being one of these athletes and still needing a side hustle to pay the bills?
AI arms race: By 2030, the U.S. Air Force plans to have 1,000 “robot wingmen” in the sky, flying alongside human-operated jets. It’s risky if things go wrong, but you can bet enemy nations are brewing their own AI military plans, too.
⚠️ Glad I got rid of my Tesla: The EV company has reported more than 1,200 Autopilot-related crashes to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration since 2021. The biggest culprits: Autopilot struggling to recognize obstacles and veering off the road in wet conditions. Tesla says to keep your hands on the wheel and be ready to retake control at all times (paywall link). Gee, thanks …
🚨 Facebook ad alert: A massive ad campaign is hitting Facebook, pushing 600-plus fishy online shops. They bait you with huge discounts on brands like Nike and sweet deals on iPhones. Fake user comments make it all look more legit. There’s an easy way to spot the scam: These dodgy sites only work on mobile; click on them outside of your phone, and you’ll get a 404 error.
🔥 You are so bot: On OnlyFans, the subscription service where folks interact with their favorite sex workers, creators are using AI chatbots to handle replies and form connections before asking for that oh-so-special tip. OnlyFans doesn’t seem to care if this is against their terms of service. They take a 20% cut of their creators’ incomes, and they made $1.1 billion in revenue in 2022. Yeah, that number seems old to me, too, but it’s the last number I could find.
Meta-morphosis: Meta’s AI Studio for Instagram lets you create an AI version of yourself. The AI “you” can chat with followers on Instagram, Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. It’s free to use at ai.meta.com/ai-studio or in the IG app. I’ll hold off on creating an AI Kim.
“Magical teleprompter”: That’s how startup Final Round AI markets its Interview Copilot app for job seekers. Their tech listens in while you complete a job interview from home and feeds you the perfect answers on screen in real time. Whether or not you think it’s “cheating,” the person interviewing for the job you want might be using it.
📝 Writing checks is dead: The average American writes just one check per year. Get ready for instant payments, where money transfers with zero delays and no charge — different from wire transfers, ACH and apps like PayPal. Last year, instant payments made up only 1.5% of all payments in the U.S., compared to 84% in India.
⚠️ Talk to your kids: A 16-year-old girl faked her birthdate to sign up for Tinder and matched with a 34-year-old man. The two met up, and then he drugged her and broadcast sex acts to thousands of people on an adult website. She told her therapist, who called the police. These dating apps must find better ways to verify the user’s age.
