Hello, Biz Enthusiasts!
AI is sneaking into your job hunt (and your dating apps), MrBeast says he's “cash poor” while building a $5B empire, and Meta’s glasses just learned selective hearing. Meanwhile, Barbie is leading the inclusion revolution with a new autistic doll, and small-town Americans are telling Big Tech to shove their AI data centers elsewhere.
It’s a weird, wild, wonderful world of business out there. Let’s jump in. 🧠💸🕶️

Hot Takes 🚀

1. Big Tech’s AI Dreams Are Getting NIMBY’d 🏗️🤖
Communities across the U.S. are not vibing with Google, Amazon, and Microsoft building giant AI data centers in their backyards. Why? They’re loud, power-hungry, water-guzzling behemoths disguised as “little warehouse buildings.”

2. Barbie Just Got a Fidget Spinner — and a Whole Lot More 🎀🧠
Mattel’s newest Barbie is autistic — complete with sensory-friendly clothes, noise-canceling headphones, and a communication tablet. Designed with advocacy groups and inspired by real employees, this isn’t just a doll — it’s a tiny step toward better representation.

3. Job Applications Are So Broken, People Are Using Dating Apps to Get Hired 💘📱Swipe right for… a job interview? One in three people admit they’ve used dating apps to land jobs — and 37% even got an offer. When AI bots screen your resume into oblivion, your best chance might just be a flirty LinkedIn.

4. Meta’s Smart Glasses Can Now Eavesdrop Smarter 🕶️👂
Meta just dropped “Conversation Focus” — smart glasses that isolate who you're talking to and mute everything else. It’s like a noise-canceling tunnel for your ears. Finally, you can hear your date in a noisy bar without yelling “What?” 15 times.
