| Breaking News | The Latest AI Developments | 🚗 Robotaxis Dodge Tornadoes | Waymo teamed up with Google DeepMind to build a hyper-realistic simulator using Genie 3. We’re talking tornadoes, rogue elephants, flooded cul-de-sacs with floating furniture. The AI builds photorealistic 3D environments so Waymo can stress-test its robotaxis against edge cases that almost never happen in real life. | 🔌 Claude Now Plugs into WordPress | WordPress just launched a Claude connector that gives Anthropic’s chatbot read-only access to your site data. Ask it to summarize traffic, flag posts with low engagement, or show pending comments. You control exactly what it sees, and you can revoke access anytime. Write access is coming eventually. | 🎮 Nvidia’s Skipping New Gaming GPUs | Memory shortages are so bad that Nvidia is reportedly delaying both a refresh of its RTX 50 cards and the next-gen RTX 60 series. Gaming GPUs now make up just 8% of Nvidia’s revenue, down from 35% in 2022. AI chips get the priority. Gamers and Chinese AI startups will both feel this one. |

| | By TAAFT | | 90% of AI tools will be gone in two years. Not because the tech failed, but because the business model never made sense. | In our latest video, we break down why the AI hype phase is ending and what comes next: | Why viral growth and massive funding masked a total lack of product-market fit. The four fatal mistakes killing AI startups: fake problems, AI theater, technical friction, and hypothetical needs. How open-source models are cannibalizing proprietary wrappers. The 10x rule: why “better” isn’t enough when switching costs are real. Why execution value is collapsing and decision-making is the new moat.

| AI Finds | Beyond the Feed | 🏈 Super Bowl AI Ads | Svedka aired the first “primarily” AI Super Bowl spot. Anthropic took a swipe at ChatGPT’s upcoming ads. Sam Altman got testy. The rest of the roundup is just as messy. | 🎭 Moltbook Was Peak AI Theater | Remember that viral “social network for bots”? 1.7 million agents, 8.5 million comments. Turns out most of the viral posts were humans pretending to be bots. The takeaway isn’t what you’d expect. | 🧬 OpenAI × Ginkgo Built an Autonomous Lab | GPT-5 designed, ran, and analyzed 36,000 experiments over six months with almost no human involvement. The result was a 40% cost reduction in protein synthesis.

It's the biggest domain sale ever publicly disclosed. He’s launching it during the Super Bowl with a personal AI agent for the masses.
