The salary offer a high school junior has already locked in for after graduation. Elijah Rios isn’t heading to college. He’s heading to the welding shop (paywall link). In a world where internships are unpaid and “entry-level” means three years of experience, Rios’ gig, $24 an hour with overtime, a 401(k) and benefits, feels like spotting a unicorn.

It dropped out of nowhere and yeah, it looks pretty realistic. We’re talking Miami vibes, chaos everywhere and so many butts it might as well be a beach club. ICYMI: The game’s been delayed another six months to May 2026, so this trailer is Rockstar’s way of keeping the hype alive. You have to see it.
🖥️ Windows is getting AI agents: This is great. Microsoft just announced a new feature that lets you change computer settings just by asking. In Settings, you can type stuff like “my text is too small” or “control my PC with voice,” and the AI will handle it. No more digging through menus. It’s coming to Copilot+ PCs first, with more devices to follow.
Sick of your cloud bill eating your budget alive? I negotiated with Oracle to bring you a limited-time offer to slash your cloud costs. We’re talking 50% off or more. Why keep overpaying when you can run faster, leaner and smarter? This is your shot to take control and keep more cash in your pocket. Don’t miss it.
🤔 Did Siri’s voice change? You’re not imagining it. Something’s off. Folks say it sounds flat and robotic. The reason? Apple tweaked Siri to sound more natural, but it’s the opposite. Good news: You can get the old voice back. Just turn off Apple Intelligence in Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri. That Apple Intelligence doesn’t work anyway.
Your brain got doxxed: Warning for you. Neurotech sleep and wellness gadgets are quietly collecting, and selling, your brain waves. These supposed brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies aren’t covered under medical privacy laws. Your mood, thoughts or mental health patterns are on the market to the highest bidder. It never stops.
👨🏻⚖️ When dead men speak: In Arizona, a family used AI to recreate a murder victim’s voice and face in a video to deliver his own impact statement in court. The judge gave a harsher sentence after hearing the victim’s synthesized testimony, marking a surreal, and possibly cathartic, first in American legal history. Nothing says “closure” like a ghost dropping the mic in court.
Apple owes you money: Owned an iPhone or iPad between Sept. 17, 2014, and Dec. 31, 2024? You might be eligible for part of a $95 million settlement. Why? A lawsuit says Siri recorded private convos by accident. Oopsie. If you got an email or think it happened to you, submit your claim by July 2. You can file for up to five devices and get up to $20 each.
⛪️ Open to work: After Pope Francis’ passing, the Vatican updated its LinkedIn with a description for the next pope. Mandatory: be baptized, male, Catholic. Preferred: good singing voice, multilingual, wisdom, prudence and even “Joy in serving with almost no holidays.” Not a remote position. Sorry.
Targeted beauty: This is nuts. Facebook allegedly tracked teen girls deleting selfies and waited like an algorithmic vulture to serve them beauty ads at their weakest moment. “This is what puts money in all our pockets,” one exec reportedly said. Emotional damage, now with 20% more ROI.
Katy Perry’s Met Gala pics? Totally fake. Photos of her “attending” the fashion event are going viral, but they’re AI-generated. Katy posted them herself, saying she couldn’t make it because of her tour. This is the second year it’s happened to her, and even her mom got tricked last time.
