👻 Snapchat’s New “Imagine Lens” Turns Words into AI Images

Snapchat has rolled out Imagine Lens, a feature for Snapchat+ Platinum and Lens+ subscribers that lets you create custom AI images by simply typing prompts. Whether it’s “grumpy cat,” “turn me into an alien,” or a fun comic-style scene, the tool instantly generates visuals you can tweak and share with friends, post to your Story, or save.
 

Why it matters:

• Creative freedom: Bring any idea to life—no art skills required.

• Personalized fun: Prompts make every image unique.

• Seamless sharing: Send or post just like any Snap.
   

Bottom line: Snapchat is turning imagination into instant visuals—making creativity more playful and social.

🚘 Tesla Shareholders to Vote on Musk’s AI Startup, xAI

Tesla shareholders will vote this November on whether the company should invest in Elon Musk’s AI startup, xAI. The decision will come alongside a proposed multi-trillion-dollar performance-based compensation package for Musk.
 

Why it matters:

AI push: Tesla already uses xAI’s Grok chatbot in its vehicles, and deeper ties could boost its work in self-driving and robotics.

Shareholder power: Tesla’s board has not taken a stance, leaving the outcome entirely in investors’ hands.
 

Bottom line: Approval would tie Tesla more closely to Musk’s broader AI ambitions, positioning it as both a carmaker and a growing AI powerhouse.

💼 OpenAI Launches AI-Powered Jobs Platform to Rival LinkedIn

OpenAI is rolling out a new Jobs Platform in mid-2026 to help employers find talent—especially in AI-related roles—by using intelligent matching instead of traditional job searches. The platform will also support small businesses and local governments in hiring skilled professionals more effectively.
 

At the same time, OpenAI is expanding its certifications program through the OpenAI Academy, with a goal to certify 10 million Americans by 2030. Early partners include major employers like Walmart and John Deere.
 

Why it matters:

• Smarter hiring: Matches skills with jobs more precisely than traditional platforms.

• Future-ready workforce: Certifications help candidates prove AI expertise.
   

Bottom line: OpenAI is moving beyond ChatGPT—building tools to reshape how people train for jobs and how companies hire talent.
