Amazon coders say their jobs feel like factory work, Nvidia just became the Costco of AI chips, and ChatGPT is now your top news aggregator (journalists sweating). Oh — and Hailey Bieber just cashed out for $1B, reminding us all that lip gloss is still a better investment than your tech stack. Let’s get into it.

Hot Takes 🚀

3. Nvidia Wants to Sell AI Chips Like Netflix Sells Subscriptions 💽🚀

A new poll shows 77% of Americans want companies to slow down AI development. Translation: “We love the robot dog, but can it stop replacing us for a sec?” Even Gen Z isn’t totally on board.

Mind racing? Questioning if your HOA might secretly be run by ChatGPT? Same here. Coders are clocking in like factory workers and Hailey Bieber just turned moisturizer into a billion-dollar exit. Take a sip of something strong, charge your GPU (or your brain), and remember — in this economy, even delivery robots are hustling.
