Microsoft Bans DeepSeek for Its Staff 🚫

Microsoft (hi tech giant!) says nope to DeepSeek for employees, worrying about China’s data laws and sneaky propaganda vibes.

🚨 Breaking News
Microsoft confirmed in a Senate hearing: its workers can’t use DeepSeek over fears of Chinese spying + misinformation baked into the app.

⚡ Wire Simplified –

• DeepSeek stores all user data on servers in China—hello, law-mandated spying risk.

• The app is totally banned for Microsoft employees + not even listed in its app store.

• Irony alert: Microsoft does offer DeepSeek’s AI model on Azure, but only after hardcore safety checks.

• The company tweaked the AI model to strip “harmful side effects”—whatever that means exactly.

• Microsoft isn’t banning every chat app; some competitors still get a pass (sorry Google).

✔️ Straight to the Point –
Microsoft’s flex shows it’s playing super safe with China-linked AI tools—smart or just business rivalry in disguise?

Ex-Synapse CEO Back With a $1B Robot Dream 💸

Sankaet Pathak, who ran fintech Synapse (and crashed it), now wants $100M to build humanoid robots. Yes, really.

🚨 Breaking News
Pathak’s new startup, Foundation, is raising $100M to make “Phantom” robots—just a year after his fintech went bankrupt. Bold move!

⚡ Wire Simplified –

• Synapse collapsed last year, leaving millions of dollars unaccounted (ouch).

• Now Pathak’s pushing a shiny new project: humanoid robots named Phantom.

• Foundation’s goal? Robots that help fix labor shortages—sounds futuristic AF.

• The company just raised $11M pre-seed and is now aiming for a $1B valuation (big swing).

• Robots are cool... but investors might remember Synapse’s money mess 👀.

✔️ Straight to the Point –
From fintech failure to robot dreams—Pathak’s new pitch is ambitious, but trust might be the real challenge here.

Google’s AI Takes on Scammers 🕵️‍♂️

Google’s rolling out new AI tools—powered by Gemini Nano—to protect Chrome users from scammy websites + shady notifications.

🚨 Breaking News
Chrome’s Enhanced Protection just got beefed up: Gemini Nano now catches scams before you click, both on desktop + Android.

⚡ Wire Simplified –

• Gemini Nano’s AI spots scammy sites—even new ones no one’s reported yet.

• Chrome on Android will warn you about sketchy notification pop-ups too (no more random flight deals).

• Google’s AI already blocks hundreds of millions of scammy sites every day.

• Scammy calls/emails pretending to be airline help? Google cut those by 80% (huge win).

• If Chrome misfires and flags a good site, you can still allow its notifications—full control.

✔️ Straight to the Point –
Google’s adding AI muscle to fight online scams—goodbye shady sites, but will scammers just get sneakier next?
