Reddit’s Bot Problem Just Got Personal

After a wave of AI bots posed as real users in a controversial experiment, Reddit is taking steps to keep its platform human. The company plans to start verifying users' humanity through third-party services, a move meant to protect its community but one that raises questions about anonymity and privacy. Reddit insists it doesn’t want your name, just proof you’re not a bot. Still, for a site built on pseudonyms and personal stories, even minimal verification could feel like a major shift.

How to Use AI to Create a Marketing Plan

Overcome blank page syndrome and unleash your marketing genius with AI. We've broken down the marketing plan process into bite-sized, AI-powered chunks to help you plan your marketing strategies even faster.

💡 Did You Know?

AI once beat a world champion at Go by making a move no human ever would.
In 2016, AlphaGo shocked experts when it defeated 18-time world champ Lee Sedol with a move dubbed “Move 37.” Even Sedol paused mid-game to leave the room…it was that unexpected.

Google Adds “Simplify” Tool to iOS App

Google is rolling out a new AI-powered feature called “Simplify” in its iOS app, designed to break down complex or technical language directly on any web page you’re reading. Powered by Gemini and Google Research’s prompt refinement model, the tool simplifies dense content without stripping out important context making it easier to understand, retain, and keep reading without switching apps. The feature is clearly aimed at keeping users in Google’s ecosystem, offering a native alternative to tools like ChatGPT when people run into confusing content online. With just a tap, users can highlight any text and instantly get a cleaner, clearer version right on the page. It's now rolling out to iOS users, one simplified sentence at a time.

Quick Takes

• OpenAI Abandons For-Profit Shift, Stays Under Nonprofit Control: OpenAI has reversed plans to become a for-profit company and will remain under the control of its nonprofit arm, which will also hold a major stake in its new public benefit corporation. The decision comes after public backlash, legal pressure, and internal debate over whether the company was straying from its original mission to benefit humanity.

• Anthropic Launches AI Grant Program for Scientific Research: Anthropic has introduced a new AI for Science initiative, offering up to $20,000 in API credits to researchers working on impactful projects in biology and life sciences. The goal is to support scientists using AI to accelerate breakthroughs in areas like drug discovery, genetic analysis, and agricultural innovation despite ongoing skepticism around AI’s real-world reliability in research.
