Hand-picked News
Even behind a velvet rope, OpenAI’s new video app Sora exploded on iOS—almost matching ChatGPT’s debut numbers.
627K downloads in 7 days, despite being invite-only
Hit #1 on the U.S. App Store faster than Claude, Copilot, and Grok
Users are already making AI-generated videos of deceased people, sparking backlash
Sora launched in the U.S. and Canada on Sept 30, powered by the new Sora 2 model that creates eerily realistic deepfake-style clips. ChatGPT’s first-week numbers were slightly lower, and it was fully open to the public.
👀 The fact that Sora nearly matched ChatGPT’s launch—while being locked down—is wild. It shows how hungry creators are for AI video tools, and how fast this space is heating up.
⚠️ Ethical lines are already being crossed. If you’re experimenting with Sora, think twice before uploading someone’s likeness—especially if they’re no longer here.
The pharmacy aisle is getting a tech upgrade—and it’s happening faster than anyone expected.
Amazon Pharmacy is launching prescription vending machines inside One Medical clinics
You’ll order meds via the Amazon app and pick them up in minutes—no human pharmacist required
First rollout hits LA in December, with more cities coming soon
These kiosks will stock common meds like antibiotics and inhalers (no controlled substances or refrigerated drugs). Patients can see prices, insurance coverage, and even consult a virtual pharmacist—all from their phone.
✅ This is Amazon’s boldest move yet into healthcare—and it’s perfectly timed. With CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid closing stores, Amazon’s frictionless model could reshape how we get meds.
💡 If you’re near a One Medical clinic, this might be your fastest pharmacy run ever.
The AI arms race is getting wild - Nvidia now backs Elon’s startup in a deal that could reshape how AI companies scale.
xAI is raising $20 billion to rent Nvidia chips, with $2B coming directly from Nvidia
The chips will power Colossus 2, a Memphis-based supercomputer aiming for 200,000 GPUs
The deal uses a unique structure: Wall Street funds buy the chips, xAI rents them for 5 years
This isn’t just about one startup; it’s a blueprint. Nvidia’s move shows how GPUs are becoming financial assets, not just hardware. Other giants like Meta, Oracle, and OpenAI are doing similar multi-billion-dollar infrastructure deals.
✅ This is how AI startups scale fast without burning equity. It’s the jet-leasing model, but for compute.
💡 If you’re building in AI, watch how these financing structures evolve—they might be your ticket to hyperscale.
