Hey there 👋 The internet is losing its mind over the new Jony Ive and Sam Altman device. Nobody knows what it is. Not a phone. Not glasses. Maybe a necklace. Maybe a desktop orb. The only thing we do know? It’s built to monitor your life, train AGI, and look incredible doing it. Welcome to the era of stylish surveillance.
🍿 We’re watching: AI gen actors rebel
🎤 Klarna’s CEO let his AI clone run the earnings call. The avatar claimed AI was driving growth, cutting costs, and replacing workers. Then it revealed a $99 million loss and reversed an AI-driven hiring freeze. This from the guy who bragged he hadn’t hired anyone in a year because AI was doing the work of 700 people. Turns out, the easiest employee to replace was the CEO.
🔋 Nuclear batteries are moving from NASA to mass production. They last for decades and never need a charger. Startups in the US and China are racing to commercialize batteries powered by decaying isotopes. The tech has powered space probes for years and is now heading for the ocean floor, the moon, and maybe your next device. The power grid just became optional.
💥 Physicists just built a black hole bomb. And it might unlock infinite energy – if it doesn’t blow up the lab first. Researchers spun a metal cylinder inside electromagnetic fields to trigger superradiance, a weird quantum trick once thought possible only near actual black holes. The experiment confirmed energy can be amplified from rotation alone. It’s the first real-world test of a setup theorists warned might literally explode. Sure, the energy output is tiny for now, but the chaos is scalable.
🪠 Oil companies slipped into the carbon removal business. Now they get paid to clean up the mess they’re still making. Tech firms and the US government are pouring billions into machines that suck carbon from the air and bury it underground. Oil giants pitch it as a climate fix, and use it as an excuse to pump more crude. It might just be net-zero theater. We’re rebranding climate change instead of reversing it.
Monitor your AI

Why you’ll love it: No log diving. No guessing. Just clear signals when your AI breaks or quietly starts slipping.
Don’t wait for a Reddit thread to tell you your AI product is falling apart. Raindrop lets you spot problems before your users do.
🌏 We’re sitting on a stash of clean hydrogen. Only no one can sell the stuff. Scientists found enough hydrogen deep underground to power us for 170,000 years. Yet even Saudi Arabia’s $8.4 billion Neom project is struggling to find buyers for it. Hydrogen fits heavy industry and long-haul transport perfectly. The problem? Infrastructure isn’t ready. The solution arrived before the customer.
☢️ What happens when fusion reactors fail? Does the Earth get vaporized? Fusion reactors contain plasma heated to over 100 million degrees – hotter than the sun’s core. Powerful magnetic fields hold all that scorching fuel in place. Sounds terrifying, right? Not to worry, says the BBC. When containment fails, the plasma instantly cools and the reactor shuts down automatically. It’s the most uneventful meltdown in history. More fizzle than boom.

Bitcoin vs AI: Who's Eating the Planet?
Let’s talk big-picture impacts. Bitcoin and AI both consume massive resources – but in dramatically different ways.
Bitcoin makes every transaction count in a huge, flashy way. AI quietly stacks billions of tiny tasks into one gigantic footprint.
We break it down for you.
