Description

Tea, the dating safety app designed to help women vet potential partners, was hacked, exposing the very people it was designed to protect, personal pictures, and verification information like images of driver’s licenses.


We also discuss, Astronomer, the AI company whose now former CEO and Head of HR were caught in an adulterous embrace on the kiss cam at the Coldplay concert, Trump’s war on Woke AI in his AI Action Plan, and Elon Musk’s X.ai working on a version of Grok for children.
