Fake TikTok doctor, a $150M bribe & Bing AI's chaotic evil 👀🍿🧃

Hi Wrecklings!

I’m excited to watch the new Netflix documentary Big Vape: The Rise and Fall of Juul.

• ''Alameda's $150M Bribery Bombshell: Thai S3x Workers and Sam Trabucco's Disappearance Fuels Mystery''- The twists and turns of this FTX saga are unreal.

• ''WeWork Skips $95 Million in Interest Payments''- It was also just its interim CEO is now officially permanent.

• ''Meet the Deuxmoi of Hollywood PA Horror Stories''- Immediate follow.

• ''Microsoft Bing AI Generates Images Of Kirby Doing 9/11''- Unsurprisingly, Bing continues to be chaotic evil.

• ''Harvard student crosses the Charles River in a giant pumpkin''- Ok, but how much money did he raise??

• “X, formerly Twitter, tests charging new users $1 to tweet, retweet”- But seriously, have we all collectively decided what platform we’re migrating over to? I have a bunch of BlueSky invites…

• ''Fake doctor Dalya Karezi says she was only offering 'reputable' medical advice to her 243,000 TikTok followers''- I can’t imagine having to tell my friends and family I was in trouble for this.

• ''Unity CEO Riccitiello steps down, effective immediately''- Smart move to have someone to shoulder the blame and then oust them.

• ''The 12 Worst Examples of Meta's Dystopian AI Influencers''- Snoop Dogg as a dungeon master is… unexpected.

• ''Florida influencer busted for tricking out Dodge Charger to resemble police cruiser''- I can’t tell if this was a genius or extremely dumb idea.

• ''Turkish influencer under investigation for alleged money laundering''- I wouldn’t have ever imagined that influencers commit financial crimes as frequently as they do.

• Web3 seems to be totally ok:

  • “Binance.US Halts Direct Dollar Withdrawals”

  • “Reddit-Based Tokens Plunge on Report of Wind Down of Community Points”

• “Why the Trader Joe’s lawsuit against a similarly named crypto firm may not be ‘a slam dunk’”- This feels like a stretch?

• Time to face the legal music:

  • ''Why Is a Punk Band Suing Mobb Deep Over Supreme T-Shirts?''

  • “DJ Envy Facing Real Estate Scam Allegations: Everything You Need To Know”

• ''Costco Sued for Allegedly Sharing Members’ Health Data''- Is this how Costco is trying to subsidize its hot dog combos?
