🖥️ Mexico's largest university let 160,000 applicants take its entrance exam from home for the first time, watched only by AI webcam-monitoring software. The result: top scores nearly quintupled, cheating accusations exploded, and now 58,000 students have to retake the test in person (including honest ones, who got an apology from the university's rector). There’s an AI crisis in educational testing, and in education more broadly. So far, the answer appears to be more AI software.
💰️ Nvidia's flagship RTX 5090 launched at $1,999, but it's now routinely selling above $4,000, and prices across the GPU market keep climbing instead of falling. AI data centers are outbidding gamers for the same memory chips, meaning the AI boom is quietly making your gaming PC more expensive.
🎶 Rapper Fenix Flexin's charting single "Rubberz" is at the center of music's messiest whodunit: a producer posted a viral breakdown claiming the song was made with an AI music generator, pointing to a file name the rapper himself once posted.

And it’s getting larger.
