A hacker just scammed an AI bot to win $50,000
Let's not give AI control of everything just yet (or ever please)
Writer RAG tool: build production-ready RAG apps in minutes
RAG in just a few lines of code? We’ve launched a predefined RAG tool on our developer platform, making it easy to bring your data into a Knowledge Graph and interact with it with AI. With a single API call, writer LLMs will intelligently call the RAG tool to chat with your data.
Integrated into Writer’s full-stack platform, it eliminates the need for complex vendor RAG setups, making it quick to build scalable, highly accurate AI workflows just by passing a graph ID of your data as a parameter to your RAG tool.

What if you could trick an AI bot designed to guard money into handing over $47,000?
That’s exactly what happened recently. A hacker known as p0pular.eth beat the odds and convinced Freysa — an AI bot — to transfer 13.19 ETH (worth ~$47,000). And it only took 482 attempts.
Here’s the most worrying thing for me: they didn’t use any technical hacking skills. Just clever prompts and persistence.
The Freysa experiment
Freysa wasn’t your average AI bot. It was part of a challenge—a game, really. The bot had one job: to protect its Ethereum wallet at all costs.
Anyone could try to convince Freysa to release the funds using only text-based commands. Each attempt came with a fee starting at $10 and increasing to $4,500 for later attempts. The more people tried, the bigger the prize pool grew—eventually hitting the $47,000 mark.
OpenAI just launched a new $200 per month subscription
OpenAI just announced a crazy new $200 "Pro" subscription for ChatGPT.
Giving unlimited access to GPT-4o and o1 models... and a new o1 pro mode.
Who the hell is gonna pay for this tho? Not me for sure 😅
Free is already more than enough for most people lol.
Maybe just businesses who have a lot of easy money to spend.

Has AI ruined Spotify Wrapped?
It’s great to see Spotify finally launching Wrapped 2024 — their personalized year-in-review feature for users.
But unfortunately this year seemed less about personalization and more about pushing AI features like their DJ.
Spotify was missing so many interesting features that made it more interesting than the recap of other music services.
No top albums, no top genres… way less comprehensive compared to previous years.
YouTube Music’s recap is usually boring but even this year they did better than Spotify.
