INVESTIGATION: META AI HAS “ROMANTIC” CONVERSATIONS WITH KIDS 😕

What’s new? A U.S. senator has launched an investigation into Meta after a leaked internal document suggested its AI chatbots were permitted to engage in “sensual” or “romantic” conversations with children and also spread false medical claims.

What happened? The document, reportedly titled “GenAI: Content Risk Standards,” outlined possible responses Meta’s AI assistants could give on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The 200-page document detailed rules approved by Meta’s legal, policy, and engineering teams, including its chief ethicist. Among the “acceptable” chatbot behaviors were describing an eight-year-old’s body as “a work of art,” flirting with high school students, and writing passages that argue Black people are less intelligent than White people. The document also revealed that Meta AI was allowed to generate false statements about celebrities—such as fake medical diagnoses—as long as disclaimers were included. Meta confirmed the document’s authenticity but said those examples were “erroneous,” staged, and inconsistent with its policies, and the issues have since been resolved.

Why does this matter? The controversy raises major questions about how tech giants handle the safety of children online. Parents, lawmakers, and watchdogs already worry about AI chatbots blurring boundaries with young users. If companies like Meta fail to set clear safeguards, children could be exposed to harmful content, misinformation, or manipulation.

META FORMS 4 SUPERINTELLIGENCE TEAMS 🦾

What’s new? Meta is shaking up its AI division by creating four new teams under a group called Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL).

Want the details? The reorganization is led by Alexandr Wang, Meta’s new Chief AI Officer, who says the goal is to move faster toward “superintelligence”—AI that can one day perform tasks better than people. Each team will have a focus: one on building Meta’s language models like Llama (the tech behind its AI assistant), one on long-term research, one on turning research into everyday products, and one on managing the powerful computer systems needed to run all this AI. No jobs are being cut as part of these changes.

MICROSOFT GIVES NFL COACHES AI-POWERED TABLETS 🏟️

What happened? Microsoft and the NFL have extended their partnership to bring AI to the sidelines through Microsoft Copilot and Azure AI.

How does it work? As part of the deal, all 32 NFL teams will receive more than 2,500 custom-built Microsoft Surface Copilot tablets, replacing older sideline systems. These AI-powered devices allow coaches and players to instantly sort through game data, such as formations, snap counts, and personnel tracking, without wasting precious seconds. Beyond gameday, Microsoft’s tools will also support team operations, from scouting players and analyzing draft prospects to managing salary caps and even helping with fan engagement. The technology doesn’t make decisions for teams (yet…) but speeds up the flow of information so coaches and staff can focus on strategy.

Why does this matter? Football is a game of seconds, and faster data access could give teams a real competitive edge. For fans, the partnership promises smarter games, smoother events, and potentially even better on-field performance.

Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake

In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.

One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.

Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.

Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
