⚠️ Anthropic safety researcher resigns, says “the world is in danger” from fast AI progress 🖱 A senior AI safety researcher at Anthropic, Mrinank Sharma, stepped down, warning that rapid AI development puts the world at risk. He said safety teams face ongoing pressure to sideline core concerns, including bioterrorism and other catastrophic scenarios. 🖱 Anthropic was founded to build safer AI systems, yet even its CEO Dario Amodei has publicly cautioned that progress may be moving too quickly and called for slowing deployment. 🖱 Similar tensions have surfaced elsewhere. Senior safety researchers, including members of the former Superalignment team at OpenAI, have left, arguing that commercial priorities are overtaking efforts to reduce risks from systems that could surpass human intelligence. 🖱 Former OpenAI researcher Zoe Hitzig resigned after ads were introduced in ChatGPT. She warned that advertising inside highly personal conversations could enable subtle manipulation, especially as users share sensitive details about health, finances, and relationships. Safety debates are no longer internal. They are playing out in public as AI systems scale. ✔️ Subscribe on @venture

🎓 Udemy integrates its 290,000 courses into ChatGPT Udemy announced a partnership with OpenAI. Its catalog of more than 290,000 courses is now accessible inside ChatGPT through a course discovery feature. Users can browse and interact with Udemy’s learning content directly in chat instead of leaving the interface. The move comes as Udemy prepares to merge with Coursera in a deal valued at about $2.5B. The transaction, announced in December 2025, is expected to close in the second half of 2026 and would combine the two largest online learning platforms under the Coursera brand. AI search is becoming the new front door for education platforms. 💧 Sponsored by @rainbetcom - rainbet.com 📊 @tech

🧠 DeepMind builds an AI that scores 91.9% on elite math proof test Google DeepMind introduced Aletheia, a math-focused AI agent that scored 91.9% on IMO-ProofBench Advanced, one of the toughest public benchmarks for Olympiad-style proofs. Aletheia runs on Gemini Deep Think and uses a loop of generating proofs, checking them, then refining mistakes. DeepMind says it outperforms even newer Gemini Deep Think Advanced setups while using less compute. Beyond benchmarks, the agent has formally solved four problems from the Erdős list, with one likely not previously closed in literature. It also wrote a full math paper with correct results and assisted researchers on real academic work. Proof-based reasoning is becoming measurable, scalable, and cheaper at the same time. 💧 Sponsored by @rainbetcom - rainbet.com 📊 @tech

🎮 10-minute animated fight made with Seedance 2 for $60 A creator produced a 10-minute animated fighting scene using Seedance 2, a relatively new Chinese model from ByteDance. Total spend: $60. Seedance 2 is already filling timelines with short clips. Some look impressive. Some look chaotic. The cost barrier keeps dropping. High-end game and film production used to mean serious budgets. Now a laptop and a small budget can get you minutes of animated action. 💧 Sponsored by @rainbetcom - rainbet.com 📊 @tech

🧠 MIT finds heavy ChatGPT use weakens recall and brain activity MIT studied how ChatGPT affects users during writing tasks. 83.3% of participants using the tool could not recall a single sentence they had written minutes earlier. Participants who wrote without AI recalled their work easily. Neural connectivity scores for ChatGPT users dropped from 79 to 42, a 47% decline. This was the lowest level among all groups. Even after stopping AI use, these participants showed persistently lower activity in later sessions. AI-written essays were technically correct but often described as robotic and shallow. ChatGPT made users 60% faster while reducing mental effort by 32%. The strongest results came from people who wrote on their own first and used AI later. 💧 Sponsored by @rainbetcom - rainbet.com 📊 @tech

🖥 Claude Cowork lands on Windows Claude Cowork is now available on Windows. The tool is often described as “Claude Code without coding.” It works directly with files on your computer and can connect to external tools to complete multi-step tasks. The focus is on handling workflows that span documents and apps, not writing software. Access is open to all paid subscribers of Anthropic’s Claude. 💧 Sponsored by @rainbetcom - rainbet.com 📊 @tech

💸 AI models are already taking a slice of creator platforms OnlyFans generated $7.2B in revenue in 2025, with 400M users and 4.1M creators. The platform is still growing around 20% year over year. At the same time, Fanvue is scaling fast, reaching $65M ARR with 450% annual growth. One key difference is that Fanvue openly allows AI-generated creators. AI “models” are already driving about 15% of Fanvue’s revenue. 🔸 Emily Pellegrini: 555K Instagram followers, ~$23,000/month (up from $6K in 3 months) 🔸 Aitana Lopez: 326K Instagram followers, ~$11,000/month 🔸 Hailey Lopez: built with Stable Diffusion, ~$2,500–4,000/month This is one of the first clear cases where synthetic content is becoming a real business line. 💧 Sponsored by @rainbetcom - rainbet.com 📊 @tech

🔥 A teleprompter hiding in the MacBook notch A small app called Moody places a scrolling script directly inside the MacBook camera notch. The text sits next to the lens, so when you read, your eyes stay where the camera is. This fixes a familiar problem. Reading from the screen always pulls your gaze down. On video it looks obvious and awkward. Memorizing long scripts rarely scales when the text is long. Moody solves it without hardware or extra screens. It is just text, moved to the only place that actually matters. A tiny change that makes laptop video look noticeably more natural. 💧 Sponsored by @rainbetcom - rainbet.com 📊 @tech

🧠 ChatGPT starts testing ads inside conversations OpenAI has begun testing ads in ChatGPT. The test runs in the US only, for adult users on the Free and Go plans. Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise are excluded. Ads are selected based on the topic of the chat, past conversations, and previous ad interactions. They appear as sponsored blocks, visually separated from answers. OpenAI says ads do not affect how responses are generated. Advertisers do not see user chats or personal data. They only get aggregated stats like views and clicks. Ads are blocked around health, mental health, and politics. Users can hide ads, delete ad data, or turn off personalization. Disabling ads on the free tier comes with lower message limits. This puts ads inside a much more personal flow than feeds or search. It is not a scroll. It sits between thoughts. OpenAI calls it an early experiment and says feedback will shape what comes next. 💧 Sponsored by @rainbetcom - rainbet.com 📊 @tech

🌐 How a $100 domain turned into a $70,000,000 sale In 1993, Arsyan Ismail registered AI.com for $100. He was 10 years old. The letters matched his initials. He held the domain for 32 years. Ismail built early internet projects in parallel. He released Orenscript as a teenager, shipped popular mIRC tools, launched a local social network, founded 1337 Tech, and became an early Bitcoin user with marketplace experiments. Over time, AI.com became one of the rarest domains online. Two letters tied to the most valuable tech narrative. By 2023, it was redirecting between giants like ChatGPT and xAI, watched as a digital trophy. In 2026, the sale closed. Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek bought AI.com for $70,000,000, paid fully in crypto. The deal was brokered by Larry Fischer. $100 became $70M. Time did the work. ✔️ Subscribe on @venture

🤖 Atlas nails a backflip after failing hard Boston Dynamics showed Atlas performing a clean backflip after a run-up. The video also includes failed attempts where the robot loses balance or lands on its head. This was the final test of the research Atlas, built to push hardware and control limits. The work was done with the Robotics and AI Institute led by Marc Raibert. The key method was zero-shot transfer, where motions trained in simulation are deployed on the real robot without tuning. The commercial Atlas is next. It has 56 degrees of freedom and tactile grippers. Hyundai plans factory deployment in Georgia by 2028. Backflips are done. Factory work is coming. 💧 Sponsored by @rainbetcom - rainbet.com 📊 @tech

📍 Alleged OpenAI headphone ad sparks denial and buzz A leaked-looking video surfaced on Reddit during the Super Bowl, showing actor Alexander Skarsgård wearing silver headphones while facing a mirrored device. The post claimed to come from an OpenAI employee who said the ad was pulled at the last minute. The clip was later reposted by Alexis Ohanian. OpenAI denied any involvement. Greg Brockman and the company’s PR and marketing leads called the video fake. Online chatter framed it as a possible test balloon or guerrilla marketing attempt. Either way, the clip spread fast without a paid Super Bowl slot. 💧 Sponsored by @rainbetcom - rainbet.com 📊 @tech

🚀 Guy rode the hype and made $22K You’ve probably heard of OpenClaw, also called Clawbot or Moltbot depending on the week. Someone quickly built a simple service that installs OpenClaw on a server in one click, for people who don’t want to deal with setup themselves. He caught the hype, made about $22K, and is now listing the project for $200K. Fast problem spotting. Faster execution. Sometimes that’s the whole game. 💧 Sponsored by @rainbetcom - rainbet.com 📊 @tech
