Good Morning, AI Enthusiasts!

The industry felt less like steady progress and more like a full-speed collision.

LEAK

OpenAI Rushes GPT-5.2 Out the Door

👀 What’s happening: OpenAI has reportedly fast-tracked GPT-5.2’s release to December 9, weeks ahead of schedule, after Sam Altman declared a “code red” in response to Google’s Gemini 3. The update was meant to be a quiet, later-December rollout. Sources say the build was barely through validation when the date got locked.

🔥 How this hits reality: The AI race has devolved into a scoreboard war. Each release now reads like a quarterly earnings call for benchmark metrics, not for capability and not for adoption. GPT-5.2 might edge back to the top of the charts, but it’s unlikely to reclaim the ecosystem ground Gemini 3 already occupies across Android, Search, and Workspace. OpenAI can win points, yet still lose the platform.

🛎️ Key takeaway: In today’s AI race, progress isn’t measured in users; it’s measured in leaderboards.

Stop Working FOR Your Documents, Make Them Work FOR You

The 10x knowledge worker isn't typing faster—they're directing AI agents while competitors drown in copy-paste hell. Right now, someone just translated a 50-page deck in 3 minutes while you're still reformatting slide 12. Felo LiveDoc is the world's first Agent Workspace where documents don't just sit there—they evolve, analyze, and update themselves. Imagine a phantom team of designers, translators, and analysts inside your docs, unifying scattered PDFs, videos, and spreadsheets into one intelligent system that grows smarter with every task.

Here's what makes you look like a genius: While legacy tools treat you like a glorified typist, LiveDoc's multi-agent system operates autonomously. Design agents polish your layouts. Data agents extract insights across PDFs, videos, and web pages simultaneously. Translation agents speak every language your customers do—all working 24/7 inside one living workspace. This isn't productivity theater—it's the death of document drudgery. You're not just saving time; you're unlocking a superpower your competitors don't know exists yet.

And it's not just you—it's your entire team: Think of your best team collaboration tool—now add tireless AI teammates who never sleep, never forget context, and execute instantly. LiveDoc expands collaboration from human-to-human to human-plus-AI: team members direct, AI agents execute, all on the same canvas in real time. No more "latest_final_v3" nightmares. While your competitors coordinate between people, you're coordinating an entire hybrid workforce.

The insider move? Early adopters are already 10x-ing their output while the rest of the market is still toggling between twelve tabs. Every day you wait is another day spent manually updating slides like it's 2015. The knowledge workers who win aren't the ones who work harder—they're the ones who stopped editing and started directing.

🚀 Join the revolution: Get early access to Felo LiveDoc and become the person everyone asks, "How did you finish that so fast?" The age of manual document labor just ended. Are you evolving, or still typing?

GLASSES

Meta Buys Limitless for Glasses That Remember

👀 What’s happening: Meta has acquired Limitless, the startup behind the $99 AI pendant that could record and summarize your conversations. The hardware is being discontinued, but the team and its memory tech are moving into Meta’s Reality Labs to work on AI-enabled wearables — namely, the next generation of Ray-Ban Meta and in-lens “Display” glasses.

🔥 How this hits reality: Today’s smart glasses can see, hear, and translate, but they can’t remember. Limitless had cracked that gap with continuous recall software, turning life into a searchable stream of context. For Meta, that’s the missing neuron. By absorbing Limitless, Meta isn’t just chasing another gadget launch; it’s racing to make the first pair of glasses with real, persistent memory — a cognitive edge that the market hasn’t yet built into their glasses.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Meta’s next glasses won’t just show you the world; they’ll remember it for you.

COPYRIGHT

NYT Joins the Global Pile-On Against Perplexity

👀 What’s happening: The New York Times has filed a fresh copyright lawsuit against Perplexity, accusing the AI search startup of straight-up repackaging its journalism behind paywalls into chatbot answers. It’s the latest in a long line of complaints, from the Chicago Tribune to Nikkei, that Perplexity’s “RAG” system is less retrieval than raid.

🔥 How this hits reality: Perplexity is now the poster child for AI’s “scrape first, settle later” doctrine. Its token Publisher Program and Getty deal barely dent the wave of lawsuits stacking up from legacy media across continents. Every newsroom wants a check, and Perplexity keeps paying in delay tactics as it negotiates with one hand and scrapes with the other.

🛎️ Key takeaway: When half the internet calls you theft, and you still call it innovation, you’re not bold, you’re just stealing with a straight face.
