Fraudsters who created AI lookalikes of Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter defrauded fans of $5.3 billion in 2025.
The scammers used artificial intelligence to create fake accounts of the pop stars and scammed fans out of astronomical sums. These actions included deepfakes on social media, fake voice messages, and videos purportedly created by Swift or Carpenter, offering exclusive merchandise, tickets, or investment schemes. People transferred money, believing they were communicating with their idols.

Google DeepMind CEO claims AI startup bubble
Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, has publicly acknowledged the existence of a bubble in the AI startup space. His statement comes amid massive investment in companies promising revolution through artificial intelligence, but often lacking tangible products or sustainable business models.
Hassabis leads one of Google's leading AI development units and has direct access to data on the technology's real-world performance. His comments highlight the gap between market expectations and the actual capabilities of most startups. Investors are pouring billions into projects with questionable returns, creating the classic conditions for a bubble burst.

🤔Is there an end to reincarnation, or are we doomed to learn forever?
A subscriber wondered whether there is a final point in the cycle of rebirth, or is the soul destined for endless experience. The author admits he would prefer the latter—he enjoys learning and acquiring knowledge, and sees in it an infinite number of lessons, like the number pi.
The question touches on a fundamental theme of spiritual practices and Eastern philosophies: is it possible to escape the wheel of samsara, or is the process of learning endless? For some, this means liberation and merging with the absolute, while for others, it means eternal development through new incarnations. Different traditions offer opposing answers: Buddhism promises nirvana as the end of suffering and rebirth, Hinduism speaks of moksha, and New Age movements often romanticize the soul's endless learning.
The discussion touches on a question important for spiritually oriented audiences: what awaits us after death and whether consciousness has an ultimate purpose. For those seeking meaning beyond the material world, this is not an abstraction, but an attempt to understand the structure of reality and one's place in it.

🥳LG will allow users to remove the undeletable Microsoft Copilot shortcut from smart TVs.
LG announced that owners of its smart TVs will finally be able to remove the built-in Microsoft Copilot shortcut from the home screen. Previously, this button was permanently embedded in the interface, as users complained that they couldn't remove ads for a third-party service from their devices. Now, the company has backtracked after a wave of outrage.

A Starlink satellite exploded in orbit.
One of the Starlink satellites broke up in orbit, creating a debris cloud. Elon Musk's company confirmed the incident, stating that the satellite malfunctioned and broke into multiple fragments. The exact cause has not yet been determined, with theories ranging from a micrometeoroid impact to a technical malfunction.
The Starlink satellite constellation comprises over 6,000 satellites, and this is not the first loss. However, an explosion in orbit creates additional space debris, which could threaten other satellites and stations. Critics have long warned that the massive deployment of low-orbit satellites increases the risk of cascading collisions—the Kessler effect, where debris generates more debris.

😞Social media and the internet are killing human civilization.
Future generations will call the commodification of human communication the beginning of the end of our civilization. Every year, tech giants squeeze out more engagement and profits, hooking people on instant gratification, hedonism, narcissism, and toxic relationships. Meanwhile, loneliness and isolation are rising worldwide, especially in the United States. People have stopped valuing each other, viewing others as expendable, obsessing over screens and retreating into old school cliques or narrow interests. Finding new friends has become nearly impossible.
Perhaps this is part of a larger game: corporations and their owners are deliberately increasing isolation so that people fill the void with consumption and compete for attention online. This brings them money, while others fight over crumbs. The elites are building bunkers and preparing for collapse, but many still believe that tech billionaires will save them.
The problem isn't just social media. Technological growth outpacing the law, stagnating wages, resource depletion, and environmental destruction all play a role. But social media and dating app algorithms have become a key factor. Many can't even discuss this with friends—no one wants to hear the truth about how they're being used.

💶The EU will provide Ukraine with a €90 billion loan, but has stopped short of confiscating Russian assets.
EU leaders have agreed to provide Ukraine with a €90 billion loan, stretched out until 2030. The money will be used to rebuild infrastructure and support the economy. While this sounds generous, there's a caveat: it's a loan, not grant aid. Kyiv will have to repay the funds, albeit on preferential terms.
The main intrigue lies elsewhere. Brussels has failed to agree on the use of frozen Russian assets worth approximately €260 billion to finance Ukraine. Legal risks, disagreements between member states, and concerns about undermining trust in the European financial system have outweighed political rhetoric. The EU has effectively acknowledged that it cannot confiscate other people's money without serious consequences for its own reputation.

🤔Michael Jackson may have flew to Hawaii on the day of his official death
An enthusiast spent a week examining LAX airport data for June 25, 2009, the day the world learned of Michael Jackson's death. According to the records, all flights that day were grounded except for one—an unmarked aircraft with no passenger information or official destination. The only airport that accepted a plane from LAX that day was Hawaii.
The theory that Jackson faked his own death has long been circulating. Supporters point to oddities in the official version of events, the private funeral, and conflicting medical reports. Hawaii is a convenient location for a disappearance: remoteness, the absence of extradition in some cases, and the opportunity to live out of the public eye. If someone with Jackson's resources decided to escape industry pressure, lawsuits, and media harassment, the logistics seem feasible.
The official story remains unchanged: a propofol overdose, a convicted doctor.

AI isn't required to generate profit—its purpose is to collect data for control.
The discussion about the profitability of artificial intelligence misses the point. Selling licenses for ChatGPT and similar technologies is a side effect. The true value of AI lies elsewhere: the technology was created to collect colossal amounts of data on each person. Large language models are consuming the entire internet not for the sake of generating texts or code—this is merely a consequence of building a system capable of digesting such volumes of information.
Data itself is a resource for manipulation and control. Elites are willing to invest in AI infrastructure, regardless of quarterly reports, because they gain a tool for population control in the face of a growing crisis. Ineffective search and junk images are secondary results. The main goal is to protect the rich and subjugate the rest through mass data collection.
The technology will improve, perhaps approaching science fiction. But the original intent is not to improve texts or automate meetings. AI is built as a system for absorbing every byte of data about every individual – for the sake of maintaining power, not business strategy.

Nvidia may exit the PC gaming graphics card market
Nvidia is increasingly focusing on data centers and artificial intelligence, where margins are several times higher than those of consumer GeForce cards. The company has already reduced the share of gaming GPUs in its overall revenue to a decade-low. Analysts predict a scenario in which the manufacturer will completely abandon the mass PC gaming market in favor of corporate orders for AI chips.

Users are tired of intrusive AI and are waiting for the bubble to burst.
The internet is exploding with frustration: every other ad on social media is now about artificial intelligence, and a customer support call is turning into a ten-minute battle with a voice bot that keeps asking questions. A live operator has become a luxury.
People emphasize that what corporations call AI is really just neural networks and language models. There's no real intelligence. But marketing is working at full capacity, peddling the technology as a revolution, when in practice it's more annoying than helpful. Companies are skimping on human resources by foisting half-baked bots on customers.

🥇First gold purchase: Expectation vs. Reality
A subscriber observed the gold investing community for a year before deciding to make his first purchase. His main disappointment was that the physical size of the coin turned out to be smaller than expected. It's a classic story for a precious metals newbie: until you hold an ounce in your hand, it's hard to imagine how compactly packaged real wealth is.
Behind the irony lies a serious trend. More and more people are moving from observation to action—moving their savings out of the fiat system and into physical assets. Gold remains a hedge against inflation and dollar devaluation, especially against the backdrop of growing US government debt.

Japan tests 100-kilowatt laser weapon – Cuts metal and drones in flight
Japan has successfully tested a 100-kilowatt directed energy weapon. The system is capable of burning through metal plates and shooting down drones in flight. Development is being conducted jointly by the Self-Defense Forces and defense contractors as part of a program to counter drones and small targets.
The technology is changing the balance of power in regional security. Laser weapons are cheaper to operate than missiles – the cost of a shot is measured in dollars, compared to thousands for an interceptor. This is critical for Japan amid growing activity from China and North Korea. Energy weapons do not require ammunition, relying only on power supply and guidance accuracy. For an island nation with limited resources, this is a strategic advantage.

Volkswagen is canceling plans to launch an updated version of the iconic ID Buzz minibus in the US market in 2026. The company cites weak demand and the high production costs of electric models. The decision comes amid a general crisis in the EU auto industry, where manufacturers are losing ground due to expensive environmental standards and competition from Chinese brands.

🌉California Cities Are Massively Deploying License Plate Recognition Cameras Amid Growing Federal Surveillance
Cities in California are rapidly expanding their networks of automatic license plate recognition (ANPR) cameras. While federal agencies are ramping up their mass surveillance capabilities, local authorities are installing thousands of new readers under the guise of fighting crime. The technology records the movements of every vehicle, creating a detailed map of citizens' movements without warrants or judicial review.
Data from the cameras is stored in shared databases accessible to law enforcement agencies at all levels. Private companies operating the systems profit by selling access to information on the movements of millions of people. Civil rights activists point to a lack of transparency: citizens don't know who, when, or why is tracking their routes. There are no mechanisms for deleting data on innocent people.
Republicans in the state criticize the expanded surveillance as a threat to the Fourth Amendment, but the Democratic majority is promoting the programs under the guise of security. The technology operates 24/7, turning every trip into a record for potential use against the vehicle owner. The question isn't whether you're being spied on - the question is who else will have access to that data tomorrow.

Strava hidden popular annual report behind an $80 subnoscription
The workout tracking app Strava has blocked access to its most viral feature, the annual "Year in Sport" report. Users can now view their year-end stats only after signing up for an $80 annual subnoscription. Previously, this feature was available to everyone for free and became a major talking point on social media every December.
The company's decision sparked a wave of discontent among users. Many had used the app for years specifically for this report, sharing their results with friends and motivating themselves to achieve new milestones.
