The weekend is here, and it’s hard to believe that geocaching recently turned 25 years old. It’s still going strong with over 3.4 million caches hidden around the world.
I used to do geocaching with my son Ian. It’s a lot of fun.
🛹 A ride to remember: This is so great. After a bad skateboarding crash, Joey called an Uber instead of 911. His driver, Beni, not only took him to the hospital, but he stayed by Joey’s side all day. The two became lifelong friends. “That one act of kindness,” Joey said, “helped me see the good in the world again.” Let’s see a Waymo do that.
🥃 Robots on the rocks: While bourbon brands collapse left and right, two Kentucky vets just opened Whiskey House, a five-story robot-run distillery that tracks 1,500 sensors per barrel. They make whiskey for everyone else’s labels, like a ghostwriter with a drinking problem. The crazy part? Only seven people run the whole plant. The story about it is really interesting (paywall link).
🤖 Tough love: Do you coddle your AI chatbot? New research says being polite actually makes them dumber. Penn State researchers found that “rude” prompts got answers right 85% of the time vs. 81% for polite ones. So go ahead, skip the “please.” Your AI doesn’t have feelings … yet.
🌌 Space commune, anyone? Jeff Bezos says by 2045, millions will live in space by choice. Robots will “commute” to the moon for us, handling all the dusty jobs while humans float in orbit. He swears it’s the next plow moment, not postapocalyptic sci-fi. Sam Altman agrees. Musk’s already packing. Me? I’ll be waving goodbye from Earth.
🧞 Your wish, its command(o): Microsoft turned your PC into an eager intern. Say “Hey, Copilot,” and it’ll start doing stuff. Like actual tasks: updating settings, installing apps, flipping modes. No clicks. No confirmation. The “Hey, Copilot” wake‑word feature is opt‑in (not on by default). To use it: Update to the latest Windows 11 > Open the Copilot app > Tap your avatar (bottom left) > Settings > Scroll down to voice mode > Toggle “Listen for ‘Hey, Copilot’” on. Voila, start bossing it around.
🤑 Whoopsie on the blockchain: Get this. Paxos, PayPal’s crypto partner, accidentally minted $300 trillion worth of PYUSD stablecoins, more than double the world’s GDP. It was only an internal test gone sideways and got deleted 20 minutes later. No hacks. No lost funds. Just … a minor blip involving more imaginary dollars than Earth can handle. Sounds like a ghost story for economists. OoOoOh…

Doubling down on dumb: So this lawyer in New York trusted AI to write his court brief, and guess what, it invented fake cases. But here’s the kicker: When the judge asked him to explain, he used AI again. I can’t decide if that’s guts or pure delusion. We’ve entered the “My AI did my homework” era of law.
