    Who needs CEOs when you’ve got AI?

    If there’s one job people might actually be happy to see eliminated by AI, it’s the CEO. Especially if that CEO is Mark Zuckerberg (74 percent disapproval rate as of June 2025). Well, according to the Wall Street Journal, he might be training his AI agent replacement as we speak:

    Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Meta Platforms, is building a CEO agent to help him do his job, according to a person familiar with the project. The agent, which is still in development, is currently helping Zuckerberg get information faster—for instance, by retrieving answers for him that he would typically have to go through layers of people to get, the person familiar with the project said.

    In the not too distant future you could be watching this long lost MST3K episode.

    Episode K03, Star Force: Alien Fugitive II, from the show’s original run on Minnesota’s KTMA in 1988 was found at a garage sale in Minneapolis. It was then digitized and uploaded to YouTube by a fan. And now, you can enjoy it, in all it’s admittedly rough glory.

    “It’s scary and exciting at the same time.”

    That seems like a fair reaction to a six-pound chunk of space rock crashing through your roof and landing in your child’s bed. NASA says the meteor that exploded over Houston was roughly one ton, and three-feet across. Something similar happened less than a week ago over Ohio.

    Robert Mueller who led the investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia has died.

    The former FBI head and special counsel passed away on Friday at the age of 81. Mueller had been a persistent thorn in the side of President Trump, who quickly took to Truth Social to declare, “Good, I’m glad he’s dead.” The New York Times has a lengthy obituary recapping his life and storied and, at times, controversial career:

    Robert S. Mueller III, who led the Federal Bureau of Investigation for 12 tumultuous years, brought politically explosive indictments as a special counsel examining Russia’s attack on the 2016 presidential election, and then concluded that he could neither absolve nor accuse President Trump of a crime, died on Friday. He was 81.
