Here's What's Inside This Edition:
The AI warning security experts don't want us to ignore
Meta thinks it's finally ready to challenge OpenAI
Why AI layoffs are still making headlines
Google's AI is learning more about you, and how to opt out

Most startups spend hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars each month on cloud infrastructure before generating meaningful revenue. What many founders don't realize is that AWS offers up to $5,000 in startup credits, yet thousands never claim them.
👉 $5,000 in AWS Credits – No VC backing or fundraising milestones required. Just the right application process and startup setup.
👉 50+ Additional Startup Perks – AWS is only the beginning. Founders can unlock offers from dozens of other platforms, such as OpenAI and HubSpot.
👉 Over $400,000 in Potential Savings – Combined startup programs can provide access to credits, software, and infrastructure worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
We secured approval ourselves and turned the process into a step-by-step masterclass. Join 1,200+ founders who have used it to unlock AWS credits and access valuable startup perks.

⚡ Meanwhile in AI
Meta's AI chief says the company's next model has caught up with OpenAI's flagship GPT-5.5 on key benchmarks, marking one of Meta's boldest claims in the AI race yet.
For the first time in a while, Meta isn't talking about catching up. It's talking about competing.
The list of companies cutting jobs while investing heavily in AI keeps getting longer, with more tech firms reshaping their workforce throughout 2026.
The conversation is slowly shifting from "Will AI replace jobs?" to "Which jobs are changing first?"
Google is expanding how AI learns from user activity across its products, but you still have the option to turn those settings off.
The real question isn't whether AI learns. It's how much of your data you're comfortable teaching it with.
Microsoft has laid off another 4,800 employees across multiple teams as it continues pouring billions into AI infrastructure and products.
The biggest AI investments aren't replacing layoffs. In many companies, they're happening at the same time.
A growing number of security experts are warning that AI could make it easier for terrorists to develop biological threats, potentially increasing the risk of future pandemics. The concern isn't today's AI models, but how much more capable they could become in the years ahead.
AI has already changed how quickly people can access information. The bigger question is how we prevent powerful tools from being used for the wrong reasons. As AI capabilities grow, safety may become just as important as innovation.
