There's An AI For That
October 31, 2025
Hey, AI Enthusiast!
Welcome back to the world’s #1 AI newsletter.
Today, we’ve got our full Sora 2 vs Veo 3.1 comparison, Sora’s new character cameos, how to remove your data from 420+ broker sites before scammers buy it, GPT-5 Pro recommending a treatment 2 months before a physician published the same clinical breakthrough, and Cursor 2.0’s new coding model.
On this day in 2016…
MIT launched the Nightmare Machine, a Halloween project that used neural networks to turn ordinary photos into horror scenes. The AI added creepy elements, distorted faces, and created haunted atmospheres automatically. It demonstrated how AI could be used for creative play and artistic experimentation, making advanced image manipulation accessible and fun.
