☀️ On this day: On March 3, 1969, NASA launched Apollo 9 from Kennedy Space Center. The mission was a critical test of the Lunar Module in Earth orbit, demonstrating docking, crew transfer, and propulsion systems that would later enable humans to land on the Moon. Apollo 9 proved that the Lunar Module could operate independently in space — a major technological milestone that paved the way for the historic Apollo 11 Moon landing just four months later.

The Hustle: Claude Hacks For Marketers
Some people use Claude to write emails. Others use it to basically run their entire business while they play Wordle.
This isn't just ChatGPT's cooler cousin. It's the AI that's quietly revolutionizing how smart people work – writing entire business plans, planning marketing campaigns, and basically becoming the intern you never have to pay.

Hand-picked news:
⚖️ Supreme Court declines to hear AI copyright case ↗️LINK
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to take up a case brought by computer scientist Stephen Thaler, who sought copyright protection for artwork generated by his AI system DABUS.
Lower courts — backed by the U.S. Copyright Office and the Justice Department — ruled that only humans can be recognized as authors under current copyright law, calling human authorship a “bedrock requirement.”
The decision leaves intact rulings that AI-generated works without human authorship are not copyrightable, though courts suggested AI-assisted works may still qualify if a human claims authorship.
📉 ChatGPT uninstalls surge 295% after Pentagon deal ↗️LINK
ChatGPT’s mobile app uninstalls jumped 295% in a single day after OpenAI’s Pentagon deal became public, while 1-star reviews spiked 775% and 5-star reviews fell 50%.
Anthropic’s Claude, which declined a similar military agreement, saw downloads rise 51% and claimed the No. 1 spot on the App Store, with third-party data firms reporting record weekly growth.
The backlash highlights how quickly AI users can shift platforms over ethics concerns, though it remains unclear whether the surge will have lasting impact on market share.
🧠 Anthropic lets you import ChatGPT memories ↗️LINK
Anthropic introduced a new feature that lets users transfer saved preferences and context from other AI platforms into Claude with a single copy-paste workflow, completing the switch within 24 hours.
The tool can import custom instructions, personal details, project context, and behavioral preferences from ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot, while Claude’s memory feature is now available to free users for the first time.
The update arrives amid a surge of users switching platforms, positioning Anthropic to convert short-term momentum into long-term retention through persistent AI memory.
🍎 Apple reveals M5 MacBook Air and Pro models ↗️LINK
Apple announced a new MacBook Air powered by the M5 chip, now starting with 512GB of storage (up from 256GB previously), support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and faster SSD speeds — with pricing starting at $1,099 for 13-inch and $1,299 for 15-inch models.
The MacBook Pro lineup is also updated with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, featuring up to an 18-core CPU, up to 40-core GPU, and a new 1TB base storage standard across models.
All new models go up for preorder March 4 and launch March 11, but prices have increased across the board, with the 14-inch MacBook Pro now starting at $1,699.
📡 SpaceX targets satellite-to-phone service by 2027 ↗️LINK
SpaceX says its next-generation Starlink V2 satellites will enable full 5G cellular connectivity directly to standard mobile phones, with launches planned by 2027.
The upgraded satellites are expected to deliver roughly 20x the throughput of first-gen models, using custom SpaceX silicon and advanced phased array antennas capable of supporting thousands of spatial beams.
Rebranded from Direct-to-Cell to Starlink Mobile, the service already operates about 650 satellites in partnership with mobile carriers across 32+ countries.
