Yeah. That Arnold Schwarzenegger.

So do Codie Sanchez, Scott Galloway, Colin & Samir, Shaan Puri, and Jay Shetty. And none of them are doing it for fun. They're doing it because a list you own compounds in ways that social media never will.

(Futurism) - In a new study, researchers claim to provide the first causal evidence that leaning on AI to assist with “reasoning-intensive” cognitive labor — mental tasks ranging from writing to studying to coding to simply brainstorming new ideas — can rapidly impair users’ intellectual ability and willingness to persist despite difficulty.

“We find that AI assistance improves immediate performance, but it comes at a heavy cognitive cost,” the study declares of its findings. “After just [about] 10 minutes of AI-assisted problem-solving, people who lost access to the AI performed worse and gave up more frequently than those who never used it.”

“If sustained AI use erodes the motivation and persistence that drive long-term learning, these effects will accumulate over years, and by the time they are visible, they will be difficult to reverse,” the study urges. Read more

Anthropic has introduced a new identity-verification policy for Claude, requiring some users to submit a government-issued photo ID and potentially a live selfie before they can continue using the product. This KYC (Know Your Customer) process is handled by a third-party vendor, Persona Identities. Anthropic states it does not store or use this data for training, and this policy is being implemented without any current U.S. regulation requiring it.

Apple has reportedly sent 200 of its Siri engineers to an intensive multi-week AI coding bootcamp. The curriculum specifically focuses on coding with Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's Codex. This significant move, occurring two months before Apple's WWDC, highlights a strategic reorientation within the company towards leveraging advanced AI models for its software development, particularly for its intelligent assistant, Siri.

Amazon has deployed an AI agent that is autonomously canceling user accounts for potential violations, rather than simply flagging them for review. This AI-driven process has led to the outright deletion of accounts for several creators, resulting in the irreversible loss of their 15 years of order history, digital libraries, Prime memberships, and income tied to self-published works, all without human intervention or appeal.

An emergency meeting was convened by top U.S. financial officials, including Scott Bessent and Jerome Powell, with bank executives following a critical discovery by Anthropic's Claude Mythos. The AI model reportedly surfaced a 27-year-old, previously undetected vulnerability within the OpenBSD operating system, highlighting the potential for advanced AI to uncover deep-seated security flaws with significant implications for critical infrastructure.
