🙋♀️ Hello there, {{first_name | friend}},
Bryan Johnson already took blood from his own teenage son. Now the anti-aging mogul says he cloned himself as a newborn to grow spare organs. His words, not mine. Before you picture a tiny Bryan in a crib, breathe. What’s actually sitting in that petri dish is a long way from a baby. I’ll tell you what’s real, what’s hype and why it should still make you uneasy.

Plus, Flock license plate cameras are sitting in your neighborhood right now, and the company’s own CEO reportedly dodges the tech. (Read that twice.) I got an HOA letter about someone destroying them.
And a listener built himself an AI wife. A bad one. Based on movie villains. First man in history to engineer more nagging into his life. On purpose.
Also: 404 Media’s Matthew Gault on whether the data center down the road is quietly padding your electric bill, free college cash an AI dug up for one family, a drone flyover that got someone’s insurance canceled and the honest answer to “Is my phone listening?”
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
AI ransomware targets your identity
Ransomware used to be about locking your files and demanding money. Now cybercriminals are using AI to make attacks even more dangerous, stealing sensitive information like your Social Security number and financial data, and putting it in the hands of scammers.
The scary part? Your computer may recover, but your stolen identity can follow you for years.
That’s why I rely on Coveron for identity theft protection. Coveron monitors your credit and financial accounts around the clock and alerts you to suspicious activity. If your identity is compromised, you don’t have to figure out what to do next on your own. A human restoration specialist steps in to help restore your identity.
Plus, Coveron backs you with up to $1 million in recovery support, along with coverage for eligible online fraud and cyber extortion.
