Two Big Updates from Bridget
Today, July 14th, is the day my audiobook Love At First Prompt: AI and the Future of Intimacy goes on sale! This audiobook is one of the most personal things I’ve ever made. It’s about loneliness, AI companions, and what happens when technology starts becoming emotionally entangled with our lives. I spent months talking to researchers, reporters, and people who feel they are experiencing real relationships with AI. I also talked with experts about the risks of people using AI in this way, and the idea that we're so busy gawking at and judging the individuals involved, we're letting the tech companies that actually MAKE these products avoid the scrutiny they actually deserve. Here is an excerpt from the audiobook featuring our conversation with journalist and cofounder of 404 Media Sam Cole that asks what happens to humans when AI is used for sexual and erotic role play. You can check out LOVE AT FIRST PROMPT at www.LoveAtFirstPrompt.AI or wherever audiobooks are sold. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Girlboss Is Back And This Time She's Selling You AI
The girlboss era promised that if women just worked hard enough, leaned in hard enough, optimized hard enough, equality was within reach. It wasn't. And now, a decade later, the same voices are back with the same urgency and the same "you'll be left behind" framing. The product this time? AI. Bridget sits down with Samantha and Anney from Stuff Mom Never Told You to talk about why Sheryl Sandberg, Reese Witherspoon, Mel Robbins, and the original girlboss herself Sophia Amoruso are all suddenly very invested in getting women onto AI platforms and why the women who aren't rushing to adopt it might actually be the ones paying closest attention.

Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. New roundup every Friday. 🎧 Here's what we covered this week: Elon Musk is losing his mind over Lupita Nyong'o playing Helen of Troy because he cannot imagine Black beauty. Brittany Wong has excellent analysis for HuffPo: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-lupita-nyongo-in-the-odyssey_l_6a0ca9fde4b0ceb40d47cc6a Meta has been removing accounts of LGBTQ+ organizations and individuals for seemingly capricious reasons. A coalition of Dutch LGBTQ+ and digital rights advocates is taking legal action. The excellent resource Repro Uncensored reports: https://www.reprouncensored.org/research-overview/meta-legal-action Federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies are pooling resources to track and surveil "anti-tech extremists," which includes people and organizations who oppose data centers at county board meetings. Daniel Boguslaw reports for Wired: https://www.wired.com/story/us-law-enforcement-warns-of-anti-tech-extremism/ A new study of resumes found that women were judged more harshly than men for using AI. The author has not made details of the study publicly available, but it was summarized in Fortune Magazine by Eleanor Pringle: https://fortune.com/2026/05/10/identical-resume-ai-men-women-response-trust-ability/ The resume study seems similar to this seminal research paper by Steinpreis and colleagues, which was properly published in 1999 https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/advance/269/ Software engineering is being transformed by AI at incredible speed, and that is a big challenge for mothers taking parental leave. Wired's Joel Khalili writes: https://www.wired.com/story/women-parental-leave-return-office-ai/ PALETTE CLEANSER!

eBay CEO Devin Wenig Orchestrated a Criminal Stalking Campaign and Walked Away With $57 Million
This is the 2nd episode of a 2-part series about a case where security goons from eBay travelled across the country to stalk and harass a husband-wife journalist duo. If you haven't listened to part 1 yet, you probably should. We published it on May 19, 2026. For over two decades, the pair have been publishing EcommerceBytes, a respected trade publication for eBay sellers. But in 2019, someone started harassing them. It began with a spray painted fence, then quickly escalated to death threats and fetal pigs and a mysterious van outside their house. Eventually, they discovered that eBay's own security team was behind it all, with the campaign put into motion by then-CEO Devin Wenig. This bizarre and frightening story is a cautionary tale about the rise of private armies. It starts in San Francisco, takes us to the small community of Natick, Massachusetts, and ultimately takes TANGOTI listeners right back to Madison Square Garden. Buckle up.
