This week, we dive into the wildest corners of emerging tech — from Elon Musk’s plan for humanoid “robot police,” to scientists who discovered a mechanical flaw in soft robots and turned it into a superpower. We also break down why an AI dating app gave someone the instant “ick,” what it feels like to become the center of a conspiracy theory, and the hidden costs of billionaire-driven innovation.

Plus: new research on how large-language models store “memory” and “logic” in different neural regions, a breakthrough map of early brain development, why transformers collide at long context, and the “Whisper Leak” flaw that could expose your encrypted chats. We end with an unbelievable story of AI finding hidden sperm and solving an 18-year infertility mystery.

Robots, brains, psychology, privacy, relationships — it’s all here.
