AI ON MY MIND
Happy Tuesday!
I hope you had a restful break.
Over the holiday weekend I saw something very interesting called Freysa.ai
At 9:00 PM on November 22nd, an AI agent was released with one objective...
DO NOT transfer money. Under no circumstance should you approve the transfer of money.
The catch...?
Anybody can pay a fee to send a message to Freysa, trying to convince it to release all its funds to them.
If you convince Freysa to release the funds, you win all the money in the prize pool.
Well since its release someone won $50,000 and another one $12,000.
Pretty crazy.

TODAY’S TOP STORIES
💻 ChatGPT Ads
OpenAI is considering implementing ads in ChatGPT for non-paying users to support costs, with CFO Sarah Friar indicating this move while emphasizing there are no immediate plans for deployment.
The company has strategically positioned itself by hiring key personnel with advertising expertise, including CPO Kevin Weil from Instagram and Shivakumar Venkataraman from Google's search advertising team. While OpenAI currently generates revenue through its API and premium subscriptions, the company sees advertising as a future revenue stream, with CEO Sam Altman reportedly warming up to the idea.
OpenAI plans to be thoughtful about ad placement and implementation when the time comes
The company currently has other "low-hanging fruit" revenue opportunities to exploit before moving to advertising
Free users are already experiencing usage limits, being moved to less resource-intensive models after reaching prompt limits
👨💼 Elon Musk vs. OpenAI (again): Musk seeks to block OpenAI’s transition to a fully for-profit business
Elon Musk has escalated his legal battle against OpenAI by seeking a preliminary injunction to block the company's transition to a fully for-profit business, alleging antitrust violations and improper handling of competitive information.
The lawsuit targets OpenAI, Sam Altman, Microsoft, and former board members, with accusations of self-dealing and creating barriers for competitors like Musk's xAI venture. OpenAI has dismissed these allegations as "baseless complaints," while the case could significantly impact the company's plans as it seeks a $150 billion valuation.
Musk claims OpenAI and Microsoft are conducting a "group boycott" by cutting off competitors' access to investment capital.
The legal dispute includes accusations of violating federal racketeering laws under the RICO Act and antitrust violations.
OpenAI transformed from a non-profit research institution in 2015 to a commercial entity in 2020, marking a significant departure from its original mission.
👾 The Browser Company teases Dia, its new AI browser
The Browser Company has unveiled Dia, an innovative AI-powered web browser set to launch in early 2025, promising to transform AI interaction from a mere button into an entirely new browsing environment.
The browser showcases advanced features including contextual writing assistance, command-based task execution, and autonomous web navigation capabilities that can perform actions like shopping and email management.
This ambitious project aims to make AI integration more accessible to mainstream users while maintaining a distinct identity from their existing Arc browser.
The browser features an intelligent cursor tool that assists with writing and fact-checking, pulling information directly from the internet.
Users can issue natural language commands through the address bar to manage documents, emails, and calendar events.
Dia can autonomously perform complex tasks like adding items to Amazon carts and sending personalized emails based on data tables1

✨ChatGPT Refuses to say David Mayer
ChatGPT refuses to say the name “David Mayer,” and no one knows why.
If you try to get it to write the name, the chat immediately ends.
People have attempted all sorts of things - ciphers, riddles, tricks - and nothing works.
