Good evening!
Are you sure your AI model is really AI? Or is it hundreds of engineers that can mimic AI-generated responses?
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🔋 Meta Signed a 20-Year Nuclear Deal With Constellation Energy
Meta has entered into a 20-year agreement with Constellation Energy to procure 1.1 gigawatts of power from Constellation’s Clinton Clean Energy Center, a nuclear plant in Illinois. This deal aims to meet Meta's growing energy demands driven by artificial intelligence and other high-computation technologies. (CNBC)

3. 😮 Builder AI Collapsed After Revelations its ‘AI’ Was Human Engineers
Builder.ai, once valued at $1.5 billion and backed by Microsoft, has filed for bankruptcy following revelations that its purported AI-driven software development platform relied heavily on manual coding by hundreds of engineers in India. The company had marketed its "Natasha" AI system as a fully autonomous tool, while executives orchestrated a years-long financial deception. (TechSpot)
4. 📈 Set it & Forget it, Affordable SEO?
Most SEO agencies will charge you $5,000 a month, promise the world, and deliver nothing but a confusing report and disappointment. Ranked is the exact opposite.
These guys are almost too good to be true, but they’re actually amazing. We use them ourselves, and the results speak for themselves:
Real SEO that works — weekly content, site optimization, and quality backlinks
Full transparency — clear deliverables and easy-to-read reports
No BS contracts — all plans are month-to-month, starting at just $99/month
I know what you’re thinking: “$99? Is it a scam?” Nope. Just a team that figured out how to make SEO actually affordable and effective.
5. 🕵 Deel Accused Rippling of Customer Impersonation
This really is the next Apple TV show in the making. HR software company Deel has accused rival Rippling of orchestrating a covert operation to infiltrate its customer platform and steal proprietary assets. Legal filings allege that Rippling’s competitive intelligence manager posed as a customer for six months to obtain confidential information, which was allegedly used to develop Rippling's product.

6. 💳 Google Wallet is Losing Access to PayPal
If you use PayPal as a payment method in the U.S. through Google Wallet, take note. Starting June 13, Google’s no longer supporting PayPal and all linked PayPal accounts will be automatically removed. Instead, you’ll now need to add a credit card, debit card, or bank information manually to continue using the wallet service. (The Verge)
7. ☢️ Google Backed Fusion Power Company TAE Technologies
Google has deepened its investment in nuclear fusion by participating in funding rounds for TAE Technologies, a company commercializing fusion power. Since 2014, Google has collaborated with TAE to apply machine learning techniques to optimize plasma behavior in fusion reactors, aiming to put electrons on the grid sometime in the early 2030s.
