Good evening!

I took one day off, and Tesla released a new program called A.S.S. 🫠

Anyway, here are the 7 things you missed today:

1.  🏧 People Lost $65M To Bitcoin ATM Scammers in H1

A lot of people fell for this one, apparently. A new report from the Federal Trade Commission found the amount of money lost to bitcoin ATM scams increased nearly 10 times from 2020 to 2023 – from $12M to $114M. Consumers have already lost $65 million in the first half of 2024.

2.  🤏 Need to reach leads where traditional methods fall short?

Efficiency is important for businesses looking to connect with hard-to-reach leads. While the same old methods, like cold emails, often fall short, tools like Drippi.ai can be a game-changer. How?

Drippi.ai simplifies outreach by sending automated, personalized Twitter DMs to your target B2B or B2C leads, providing a direct line of communication at a fraction of the cost—just 1/3 of what you’d spend on cold emails.

A PR firm booked 330 calls and generated $284k in just three months using Drippi.ai.

Drivers will need to be subscribed to VW’s Plus Speech with AI service to get it, though most of its 2025 models will also get the new AI voice features.

No, really, that’s the name. The ‘Actually Smart Summon’ feature was released to Teslas on Labor Day on the (bear with us) S3XY line of electric vehicles. The feature relies on Tesla Vision to return the car to the driver or head to a spot of the driver’s choosing, all on its own.

7.  🎓 Vocational School May Be Better Than Bachelors Programs

The job market remains tough, but new data from payroll processor ADP shows that hiring rates have been rising for roles requiring a vocational or associate’s degree as opposed to a 4-year bachelor’s degree. The earnings potential also isn’t as different as you may think, with last year’s median weekly salaries being $1,493 for those with a bachelor’s and $1,058 for those with an associate’s degree.
