Good Evening!
A reminder that this Monday is a holiday in the U.S., so we’ll be back in your inbox on Tuesday. Have a good weekend! ✌️
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🔎 You Can No Longer Google the Word ‘Disregard’
Guess the AI Mode dev team didn’t test this one. With Google’s completely new AI-led Search experience that was just launched this week, there are apparently lots of edge cases the company didn’t seem to consider. For example, when you search the word ‘disregard,’ you get an AI Overview answer that responds like a chatbot disregarding a query. (TechCrunch)
2. 👀 CEOs Without an Assistant are the Assistant
And that’s expensive.
Every hour spent on low-leverage tasks is time you’re not leading, scaling, or driving growth. And you’re paying a CEO’s salary for it.
What’s the solution? Finding the right support.
CEOs who delegate could save 15 hours a week and unlock over $100,000 in additional ROI each year.

3. 🪦 GitHub is Dying a Slow Death
GitHub’s future has been unclear since Microsoft acquired the coding company in 2018 for $7.5 billion. Nearly eight years later, it’s now fighting for survival amidst a surge of outages, security issues, mounting pressure from competitors, and losing many of its leaders (including its CEO). What do you think the future holds for GitHub? (The Verge)
4. 🤖 C-Suite and Exec Levels are Leaving Gaps in AI Adoption
As of 2026, most leadership teams are still relying on docs, meetings, and pure memory before jumping into calls. While these teams hold years of context, there are always exec exits, decisions, tradeoffs, and customer nuance's that muddy the waters.
Ambient fixes this with an AI-powered Shared Brain for leadership. A living corporate memory that captures context as work happens and keeps execution moving.
5. 🧑⚖️ Texas’ AG is Suing Meta Over WhatsApp
They say everything is bigger in Texas, except end-to-end encryption. The state’s Attorney General is suing Meta over allegations that the company’s WhatsApp messenger doesn’t provide the end-to-end encryption it’s been claiming. (ArsTechnica)
6. 🤯 California Signed the First Executive Order on AI Economic Disruption
Well, this should be interesting. California’s Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order directing state agencies to prepare workers, small businesses, and communities for potential economic disruption from artificial intelligence, the first of its kind issued by a U.S. governor. (Quartz)
