1/ Your AI Art Can Now Move… And It’s Kinda Terrifying

Midjourney just dropped its first-ever video model, letting users turn any image into slick 5-second clips—right after Disney and Universal hit them with a copyright lawsuit. The new tool, called V1, works via web only and can animate images automatically or through custom prompts (think camera pans, zooms, etc.). It’s 25x cheaper than rivals and sticks to Midjourney’s signature visual vibe. While it’s image-to-video only and doesn’t do audio like Google’s Veo, it’s a clear move toward MJ’s wild goal of building full-on virtual worlds.

2/ AI Just Outsold a Human—Live, and in Front of 13 Million Viewers

AI just outsold a real human on livestream—and not just any human, but Chinese entrepreneur Luo Yonghao. Using two hyper-realistic digital avatars, Baidu’s six-hour e-commerce stream pulled in $7M+ and beat Luo’s own May numbers in under 30 minutes. The AI hosts interacted like real people, pitched 133 products, and had 13M viewers watching. With over 100k digital humans already in China’s $946B live commerce game, it’s clear: AI salespeople don’t sleep, don’t mess up, and might just be unbeatable.

3/ AI Just Crashed the NBA Finals — And It Was Gloriously Unhinged

Kalshi just aired a wild, AI-generated ad during Game 3 of the NBA Finals, marking a first for major TV. Filmmaker PJ Accetturo used Google’s Veo 3 to generate 15 chaotic clips in 2 days—with help from ChatGPT and Gemini for scripting and prompts. The ad was glitchy, fast-paced, and totally unpolished… but that might be the point. Accetturo says it cost 95% less than a traditional shoot and thinks this “high-dopamine” style is the future of ads. As AI video tools improve, expect way more of this on your screen.

4/ OpenAI’s Legal “Nuclear Option” Could Blow Up Its Microsoft Ties

OpenAI and Microsoft are beefing—big time. Their $13B partnership is now at a “boiling point,” with OpenAI eyeing antitrust action over fights about compute access, IP rights (especially after its $3B Windsurf deal), and power plays. Microsoft’s grip on GitHub Copilot isn’t helping, and OpenAI’s already cozying up to Google to break free. The AI honeymoon’s over, and things are getting real messy.

5/ OpenAI Just Shot Its Shot at Google Chrome

OpenAI says it’d totally be down to buy Google Chrome—if the courts ever force Google to sell it. The comment came during a major antitrust trial where the DOJ is trying to break up Google’s dominance in online search. Google’s not having it, insisting Chrome isn’t up for grabs and calling the lawsuit bogus. OpenAI previously tried partnering with Google (no luck), and now it’s riding with Microsoft and Bing. Meanwhile, Google’s flexing Gemini, and OpenAI might even be cooking up its own social network. The AI wars just keep getting juicier.
