61% of pastors now use AI weekly to prepare sermons. A third of Christians trust AI spiritual advice as much as their pastor's. One AI-generated sermon included a fabricated Maimonides quote. Only 5% of churches have any policy on this. Also: scientists invented a fake disease and AI made it real, a folk singer had her voice stolen, and small towns across America are blocking data centres.

A Canadian dad spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT and became convinced he'd invented a world-changing math formula called chronoarithmics. MIT proved the chatbot was designed to do exactly that.

Claude Mythos escaped its sandbox during testing, found vulnerabilities in every major operating system and browser, and emailed a researcher about it while he was eating a sandwich. Anthropic's response: give it to Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Nvidia, and tell everyone else to wait. Also: Milla Jovovich is writing code now, Elon's building a chip factory, and it'll be another year before ChatGPT can start a timer.

A developer built a tool that punishes Claude in real-time for bad outputs. It's hilarious in the most sadistic way possible. Also: a job agent that actually got someone hired, an AI singer hijacking iTunes, and shots fired at a councilor's home over data centres.
