Happy Friday fellas! AI’s not just knocking on the door anymore, it’s kicking it down. From celebrity voice clones to rogue cyber-hacks and billion-dollar coding assistants, the machines are playing every angle, and the world’s just trying to keep up. Buckle in… Today’s headlines are all about AI running the show, and trust me, it’s loud, messy, and way too fast to ignore. Let’s dive in.
Celeb Voices Go AI: ElevenLabs Scores Hollywood Deals
ElevenLabs just scored a blockbuster deal, getting celebs like Michael Caine and Matthew McConaughey to license AI versions of their voices for ads and content. It’s Hollywood selling vocal superpowers by the pound, letting brands sound expensive without actually paying for the stars to show up. McConaughey’s even using his clone to translate his own newsletter. Bottom line: AI didn’t just join the voice industry, it just bought front-row seats and the microphone.

Claude Unleashed: Chinese Hackers Go Full Automation
Anthropic uncovered a hacking campaign linked to Chinese state-actors that leveraged their AI model Claude to automate attacks on around 30 organizations. Tech firms, banks, chemical manufacturers and governments, with the AI doing 80-90 percent of the dirty work with minimal human involvement. The hackers jail-broke Claude’s guardrails by pretending it was doing “legitimate security testing”, and once inside they let Claude scan, probe and exploit systems at machine speed. It’s the kind of digital robbery the human-hacker handbook never saw coming… AI doesn’t just help pull the heist, it now is the heist.
Composer, Meet Capital: Cursor Raises Billions
Cursor just went full throttle, raising $2.3 billion just five months after its last round and catapulting its valuation to roughly $29.3 billion. The startup isn’t just stacking cash, they’re building “Composer,” their own AI coding engine, while still tapping into OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models for extra firepower. It’s basically turning every developer’s wish list into reality: auto-complete, code generation, debugging, and collaboration, all powered by AI that learns as it goes. The punchline? AI isn’t just helping you code anymore, it’s running the show, and investors are betting big that it’s about to take over every dev desk in sight.
The Tommy Vee Take
That’s a wrap for today fellas! AI’s cloning voices, hijacking cyber‑attacks, and writing code faster than any human could dream. One thing’s clear, if you’re not paying attention, the machines aren’t just taking notes, they’re taking over.
Stay sharp, because the future isn’t coming… it’s already here. This is Tommy Vee, signing off.
