5. Tupac Estate Threatens to Sue Drake

When Drake dropped a diss track using AI versions of Tupac and Snoop, Snoop responded by posting a joking, confused Instagram video. The Tupac Shakur estate, however, has sent a cease and desist.

4. 6-Month Old AI Coding Startup Cognition is a Unicorn

Is it a sign of crazy hype, or a reflection of a breakthrough technology? Twitter/X has not decided, but it’s certainly having the debate. But raising at a $2B valuation in less than a year is no mean feat.

3. Rabbit r1 First Impressions

Another week, another round of AI hardware reviews. This time it’s for the Rabbit r1. So far, while it’s not a home run and there are some big questions, the reports are a lot better than the Humane Pin.

2. Meta Warns Revenue Will Be Lower Because of AI

Meta has reported their revenue, and while the company is up 27%, Wall Street is digesting comments from Mark Zuckerberg that the costs of competing in AI are going to drive them to spend even more than anticipated.

1. Moderna Partners with OpenAI
