Hello, Biz Enthusiasts!
We’re not saying the world is upside down, but… professors are getting exposed for using ChatGPT, A.I. can’t read a clock, and apparently your neighbor might be a secret millionaire. Oh, and zeppelins are making a comeback — because we clearly learned nothing from the Hindenburg. Let’s dive in while the future still has Wi-Fi.

Hot Takes 🚀

1. College Professors Are Secretly Using ChatGPT — Students Are Not Amused 🎓🤖
A student at Northeastern caught her professor feeding prompts to ChatGPT… in the lecture notes. Let that sink in: the people warning about AI cheating are cheating with AI. Students are calling it hypocrisy. Professors are calling it “enhanced productivity.”

2. Baby Gets First-Ever Custom Gene Editing Treatment 👶🧬
A 9-month-old with a deadly genetic disorder just became the first human to receive a made-to-order gene therapy. Doctors cooked up a single-use infusion tailored to his mutation — and it worked. The future of medicine isn’t one-size-fits-all, it’s one-baby-at-a-time.

3. Microsoft Is Cutting Managers… Because There Are Too Many Managers 🪓📉
Redmond just laid off ~6,000 employees to flatten management layers. Translation: too many people managing too little. Insiders say it’s a smart move — fewer status meetings, more actual work. Somewhere, a middle manager is Googling “how to become an individual contributor.”

4. AI Vibe Coding Is Making Real Money — And No One Knows How 🧑‍💻💸
Developers are building apps with just AI prompts — and they’re profitable. One guy went from zero coding skills to $24K ARR using Claude and GPT-4. This is your reminder that you don’t need to “learn to code.” Just vibe.

5. America Now Has 22 Million Millionaires… Wait, What? 💰🇺🇸
The average American household is now worth over $1M, making “millionaire” less baller and more… baseline. Blame stock portfolios, real estate, and decades of asset inflation. The Cash Money Millionaires walked so the suburban index fund dads could run.
