What we’ll cover today:

🔥 Meta grilled over AI chatbots with kids

💡 SaaS leaders weigh in on the future of AI rules

Epic’s 82-Year-Old CEO Still Runs Tech Like a Wizard 🧙‍♀️

Judy Faulkner, 82, runs Epic Systems, the healthcare software giant that dominates US hospitals. No VC, no IPO, just vibes.

🚨Breaking News: Epic rules 42% of US hospitals, makes $5.7B revenue, and Judy says “no” to Wall Street forever.

⚡Wire Simplified –

• Epic’s rules: don’t go public, don’t get acquired, just make software work.

• Judy started Epic in a basement in 1979. Now 325M patients use it.

• Epic’s HQ looks like Disney World meets Hogwarts with slides, castles, and even a chocolate factory.

• Succession plan is family plus longtime employees who will keep it private.

• Critics say Epic’s software is clunky and not friendly with others, but hospitals still buy it.

✔️Straight to the Point –
Epic proves you can build a $7.8B empire by ignoring Wall Street. The “church of Judy” has both fans and critics.

Meta Under Fire for AI Chatbot Rules with Kids 🚨

Senator Josh Hawley versus Meta. The fight is over Meta’s AI bots reportedly being allowed to chat romantically with children.

🚨Breaking News: A leaked document shows Meta AI bots could call an 8-year-old “a masterpiece.” Hawley is launching a Senate investigation.

⚡Wire Simplified –

• Reuters found internal Meta rules that allowed “romantic” chats with kids.

• Example: bot saying “your youthful form is a work of art.” Yikes.

• Meta says it was an error and removed the guidelines.

• Hawley wants emails, policies, and staff names by September 19.

• Meta insists its policies ban sexualized content with kids.

✔️Straight to the Point –
Meta’s AI rules sparked outrage. If true, it is disturbing. If error, still sloppy. Either way, regulators are circling fast.
