Hot Take: GTA 6 broke 50 million pre-orders, at $4+ billion in rev before launch
Rockstar better deliver an experience better than OG Cyberpunk 2077 at launch!

TikTok's new 'Allow AI to Remix Content' feature is a nightmare for creators
They rolled it out quietly as the new default on all posts, and the best part?
There's no way to turn it off for your whole account; you have to opt out on each individual post
Amazon’s Alexa+ will produce AI-generated “podcasts” featuring chats between two robot “co-hosts”:
• Amazon has inked deals with major news organizations to ensure “accurate, real-time news and information”
• In an example clip from Amazon, a male Alexa+ narrator says more than 50% of music listening now comes from unsigned artists. “The monoculture is just gone,” a female-voiced Alexa+ narrator chimes in. The male Alexa+ host says there has been “stoner metal,” indie pop and experimental hip-hop “all dropping on the same Friday,” and adds, “That’s not chaos — that’s the healthiest the music ecosystem has ever been.”

Just found a full Gucci purse at a @metrolosangeles station. Picked it up right away and gave it to the first Metro Ambassador in the Expo/Crenshaw station I could find. I hope the person gets it back! #karma#please#thankyou
SpaceX Just Unleashed the Insane Specs for Starship V4 — And It’s Next-Level!
Hey space fans! Elon Musk just dropped fresh details on Starship Version 4 (targeted for 2027), and it’s clear: the future of spaceflight just got a whole lot bigger, bolder, and more powerful.If you thought Starship was already a beast, V4 is about to redefine what’s https://t.co/kb42D9QPwJ’s the mind-blowing upgrade package: 42 Raptor Engines Total
Super Heavy booster stays at 33 engines, but the upper stage gets stretched and upgraded to 9 engines (3 sea-level + 6 vacuum-optimized). As Elon put it: “as foretold in the prophecy.” 10,000 Metric Tons of Thrust
That’s roughly three times the liftoff thrust of the mighty Saturn V. This will be the most powerful rocket ever built by humanity. Towering Height: Nearly 150 Meters
Imagine stacking three Statues of Liberty on top of each other. That’s how tall this monster will stand. Game-Changing Payload
Designed to deliver 200+ metric tons to Low Earth Orbit in fully reusable mode. This slashes the cost of getting mass to space and opens the door to real Mars colonies and massive orbital infrastructure. Flying Space Station
The upper stage will offer over 1,000 cubic meters of pressurized volume — that’s more internal living space than the entire International Space Station!Why go this big?As Starship gained heat shields, reinforcements, and all the real-world hardware needed for safety and reusability, it got heavier. Instead of endlessly chasing weight reductions, SpaceX chose to scale up everything: longer tanks, more propellant, more engines. The result? A rocket that can still haul the massive payloads required for humanity’s multi-planetary future.They’re still crushing it with V3 first — a huge leap on its own. V3 should wrap up production and testing by the end of this year, with heavy flight operations throughout 2026–2027 before V4 takes center https://t.co/8gH2ZsrYls… with Starship V4 basically being a flying city block with more living space than the ISS, would you sign up for a multi-month journey to Mars aboard one? Or are you watching safely from Earth? Drop your thoughts below — I’d love to hear them!Note: This image is an illustrative render for educational purposes, not an official SpaceX image.
Congratulations to our Founder and CEO Jensen Huang on receiving an honorary Doctor of Science and Technology degree from @CarnegieMellon, as well as the CMU Class of 2026 graduates. 🎓
The 🎆 Fireworks in Las Vegas are always so exciting. What a fun schedule to celebrate the 🎂 250th Anniversary of the 🇺🇸 Declaration of Independence.

#AI mixed with computer engineering solving problems with electrical substation upgrade timing and finally, a builder of real estate. Very cool intersection. #nvidia#span#electricitiy#artificalintelligence
Nvidia just figured out how to put an AI data center on the side of your house. And pay you to host it.
Each XFRA node packs 16 Blackwell RTX Pro 6000 GPUs, 4 AMD EPYC CPUs, and 3TB of RAM in a Dell PowerEdge rack mounted next to the AC condenser. The homeowner pays nothing for the hardware. They get discounted electricity and internet in exchange for letting Span tap unused capacity on their electrical panel.
This sounds insane until you look at the actual constraint blocking AI infrastructure.
Hyperscalers are not GPU-limited. Nvidia ships them on schedule. They are not capital-limited. They are sitting on hundreds of billions in capex. What they cannot get is grid interconnection. A 100MW data center requires a substation upgrade that takes 4 to 7 years in most US markets. US grid operators have over 2,600 gigawatts stuck in their interconnection queues per Lawrence Berkeley Lab. The wait, not the silicon, is the bottleneck.
Span solved this by going behind the meter.
A new Pulte home has 200A service. That's 48kW of capacity. The home uses 1 to 3kW most hours. The headroom never gets touched. Span's smart panel measures real-time consumption and dynamically routes whatever the home isn't using to the XFRA node. No substation upgrade. No queue. Just slack capacity sitting on the residential side of the meter, already cleared.
Span claims it can deploy 8,000 nodes for one fifth the cost of a comparable 100MW centralized facility, six times faster.
PulteGroup is the wedge. They delivered 29,000 homes in 2025. The XFRA unit goes in during construction next to the smart meter. No retrofit. Pulte gets a feature on the spec sheet and revenue share on the compute that flows through the wall.
The grid was the bottleneck. Pulte just became the workaround.
Fox McCloud and his crew are back in the cockpit for #StarFox, a remake of the Nintendo 64 game, coming to #NintendoSwitch2 on June 25th.

Bought the #MarioKart8Deluxe DLC separately from the Nintendo Cloud Pass. That way when things change with their cloud licensing, I should still be able to enjoy every track & character. #Nintendo
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe released 9 years ago.
Selling over 70.5 million units worldwide, it's one of the best selling games of all time.
The booster pass really breathed new life into the game adding new characters and an additional 48 tracks.
Any PlayStation game purchased digitally after March's sytem update will reportedly now require an internet connection once every 30 days to validate the license 🎮
If the console stays offline longer than that, the games will not launch until you reconnect

HOME.
The Artemis II crew has arrived back on Earth, ending a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon. The trip took them farther into space than humans have ever gone before, and now they're safely home with us.
