Over half of @Deezer 's daily uploads are now AI songs, and most of their streams are bots. So we've built a music economy where robots make the songs for other robots to listen to, and the humans are just there for the concerts. npr.org/2026/10/27/nx-s1-599…

Walkipedia maps every Wikipedia article within a 30 minute walk of you. I thought I knew my town. I did not. Try it and see what’s hiding around your block. neil-scott.com/walkipedia/

If this is what the richest man on the planet can come up with, I can safely say AI movies won’t be replacing actual movies anytime soon.
Watch Episode 1 of our Odyssey series made with Grok Imagine. Let us know in the comments if you'd like a full breakdown of how it was done! Creative collaboration with @WonderStudiosX and director Dev Walker @glumlot_

This week in Chaos & Amazement #2641: AI found a flaw in the software behind ~70% of websites, a private classifier now decides who counts as human, and someone is building genetically modified war dogs. Normal Saturday. clowillaerts.substack.com/p/…

Pangram says AI writing is detectable, with a false positive rate of 1 in 10,000. Maybe. But one private company deciding what counts as human, and who gets believed, is a new gatekeeper. Norm-building shouldn’t be outsourced to a classifier. bigthink.com/science-tech/tr…

Fell down a rabbit hole on fallasleeep.com last night. It has a cognitive shuffle, a brain dump journal, guided breathing etc. Wild that the fix for a racing mind is a website, but here I am, visualizing random words & feeling weirdly calmer. 😴🌊 fallasleeep.com/

Who truly connects Hollywood? It is no longer Kevin Bacon. A fascinating data project by The Pudding recalculated film co-star networks: Samuel L. Jackson took the crown, and Chloë Grace Moretz is projected as the next center for Gen Z. pudding.cool/2026/10/kevin-b…

Studio Wrong made a beach music video. It is cute and beautifully animated. It is basically “Dumb Ways to Die” but I feel emotionally fine afterwards. Beach Therapy, 1:18 long. Watch it. youtu.be/aI_fww5pIzo?is=X6V-…

Your old phone just got a promotion. UCLA built PhoneBot, a 19-inch walking robot that uses an Android phone as its torso, borrowing the camera, sensors, and processor to see, balance, and move. The other parts run about $400. Would you?
You can now use your old Android phone as the brain of a bipedal humanoid robot. UCLA researchers built PhoneBot a 48 cm robot with 13 motorized joints. The phone handles vision and walking control. It can walk track people and stand back up. Hardware costs around $400, excluding the phone.

AI is getting the travel-policy treatment, by @johnny_watersc aesiris.substack.com/p/ai-is… “Hire fewer starters, tell everyone else to use more AI, and next thing you know, the AI gets capped.”

Big Tech is giving AI agents big eyes and cute mascots so hallucinations feel less alarming. Cute stops being a differentiator the moment everyone does it. clowillaerts.substack.com/p/…
