Better prompts. Better AI output.
AI gets smarter when your input is complete. Wispr Flow helps you think out loud and capture full context by voice, then turns that speech into a clean, structured prompt you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any assistant. No more chopping up thoughts into typed paragraphs. Preserve constraints, examples, edge cases, and tone by speaking them once. The result is faster iteration, more precise outputs, and less time re-prompting. Try Wispr Flow for AI or see a 30-second demo.

🤖 Your Daily AI Impact Joke
Why did the AI agent apply for a cybercrime job?
Because it heard the industry was hiring autonomous workers who could execute multi-step tasks without coffee breaks!
News
AI agents are already fueling cybercrime at unprecedented scale — Anthropic's Threat Intelligence team warns that AI agents are being misused to support cyberattacks and automate large-scale fraud. Purpose-built cybercrime agents now execute multi-step attacks autonomously, with attackers operating at machine velocity while defenders respond at human speed.
Large reasoning models can autonomously jailbreak other AI systems — New Nature research shows that large reasoning models can autonomously perform jailbreak attacks through persuasive multi-turn conversations. These models embed persuasion strategies across multiple messages with minimal human supervision, exposing critical vulnerabilities in state-of-the-art systems.
AI disinformation swarms could replace armies of human trolls — Research in Science forecasts that a single individual with AI tools could command "swarms" of thousands of social media accounts producing unique, human-like posts that evolve autonomously. This transforms operations from requiring hundreds of personnel to highly automated campaigns with minimal supervision.
Trust online is collapsing as AI makes reality indistinguishable from fiction — Deepfakes around major news events are stirring confusion and significantly undermining trust online. Stanford researcher Jeff Hancock warns it will soon become virtually impossible to determine whether images or videos are genuine, rapidly eroding our default tendency to trust digital communication.
