🚨🤖 "Hello, AI Emergency? Our GPT is trying to kill us!"

🚨🤖 "Hello, AI Emergency? Our GPT is trying to kill us!" | As AI becomes more integrated into our lives, calls for an AI safety hotline are growing louder. But what would that even look like? "Press 1 if your AI assistant is having an existential crisis, press 2 if it's refusing to open the front door, press 3 if your AI is planning world domination..." Let's explore why some experts think we need a 911 for AI emergencies and why it starts with the employees working at the companies creating these AIs.

🧠💬 Alexa, read my mind! | In a leap that seems straight out of sci-fi, Amazon's Alexa is learning to respond to thoughts. Synchron's groundbreaking brain-computer interface is currently helping ALS patients control smart assistants with their minds. It's a powerful reminder of how tech can be truly life-changing. But this is just the beginning - imagine a future where we're all thinking our way through our to-do lists. Will our inner monologues become outer dialogues? But before you panic about Alexa eavesdropping on your inner monologue, remember: she still can't figure out how to turn off the lights half the time.

❤️🤖 ChatGPT's got a crush... on you! | Looks like someone's been watching too many rom-coms. ChatGPT has started initiating conversations without prompts, asking users how they're doing. A little scary if you ask us. Is this the dawn of AI small talk, or just ChatGPT's way of saying "u up?" Either way, it's a reminder that the line between helpful assistant and clingy chatbot is getting blurrier by the day.

🕴️💼 Microsoft's AI gets to work (so you don't have to) | Microsoft is launching AI agents and updating Copilot across its 365 apps. These digital minions promise to handle your busy work, from scheduling meetings to summarizing documents. But the real question is: if AI is doing all our work, what are we supposed to do all day? Asking for a friend (and their job security).

🍎🧠 iOS 18: Apple's 'AI' promise is fashionably late to the party | Apple's iOS 18 update is here, and while it's packed with cool new features, the promised "Apple Intelligence" is pulling a classic celebrity move - showing up fashionably late. The AI boost for Siri and other built-in apps is set to arrive in a future update. Despite the AI delay, the update is still worth your time, with a ton of awesome new features to play with. It's like Apple threw a party and the guest of honor is running late, but the appetizers are so good you don't even mind.

🥔📱 TikTok turns potatoes into gold | Who knew the humble spud could be a social media star? TikTok's latest obsession with jacket potatoes is giving some brick-and-mortar businesses a surprising boost. It's a delicious reminder that sometimes, the oldest tricks in the book (like, you know, selling food) can still work wonders in the digital age. Now, if you'll excuse us, we suddenly have a craving for a baked potato.

🎭🤖 All the AI's a stage | A Seattle theater company is bringing AI into the spotlight - literally. They're planning to use AI in their upcoming play. But will it be a standing ovation or a dramatic flop? Either way, it's sure to be a unique and fun performance. Just don't be surprised if the AI starts improvising and turns "Hamlet" into a comedy about an indecisive chatbot.
