SPACEX JUST GAVE $2B TO ELON MUSK’S AI STARTUP: SpaceX is investing $2 billion into xAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company. It’s part of a $5 billion funding round that now values xAI — which recently merged with X (formerly Twitter) — at $113 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal. xAI’s chatbot, Grok, is already helping answer questions for Starlink customers and could soon be built into Tesla’s Optimus robots.
—> WHY THIS MATTERS: Musk is betting big that AI will power everything: your internet, your car, your robot, your news feed. This funding helps xAI compete with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic in the AI arms race.
—> WHAT ABOUT TESLA? Someone asked Musk on X if Tesla might also invest in xAI. He replied: “It would be great, but subject to board and shareholder approval.” That means it's possible — but no promises yet.
—> THE CEO IS OUT: Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of X, stepped down last week. Her blue checkmark vanished from her profile after the news — then quietly came back. No official reason was given for her exit.

BUY MARS. 💰🚀 The biggest piece of Mars ever found on Earth is going up for auction — and it could sell for up to $4 million. The 54-pound meteorite, named NWA 16788, was blasted off the red planet by an asteroid, traveled 140 million miles through space, and crash-landed in the Sahara. It's the largest Martian rock on Earth and represents nearly 7% of all Mars material we’ve ever found.
—> SPACE ROCKS + DINOSAURS = GEEK WEEK 2025. Sotheby’s is also selling a 6-foot-tall Ceratosaurus skeleton from the Jurassic era, alongside fossils, meteorites, and gem-quality minerals. Mars isn’t just a planet anymore — it’s a collector’s item.

🚀THE OLDEST COMET HUMANS HAVE EVER SEEN? We’ve been watching this space rock at mtf since it got in our solar system. It’s called 3I/ATLAS, and scientists now think it’s 7 billion years old — that’s even older than our solar system! Thanks to new, powerful telescopes, we can finally spot ancient objects flying in from deep space. This one may help us learn what the galaxy looked like long before Earth even existed.
—> 💥IT’S MELTING AS IT FLIES: As 3I/ATLAS gets close to the sun, it’s starting to melt. That creates a glowing tail made of gas and dust — the classic comet look. It might be filled with water ice, which would be a big clue about where it came from.
—> 🌌 FROM A PLACE WE’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE: This comet may come from a very old part of our galaxy called the “thick disk.” That means it’s not just old — it’s from a totally different star system far, far away.
—> 🔭 WHY IT MATTERS: Comets like this are super rare. Studying it could tell us more about how stars and planets form — and how the galaxy was built. Space scientists are watching every move it makes.

QUANTUM // ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
🧠 BERNIE SANDERS: AI COULD MEAN A 4-DAY WORKWEEK — OR MASS UNEMPLOYMENT: In a new Gizmodo interview, Sen. Bernie Sanders says AI is reshaping the economy — and what’s at stake is who benefits. “Workers have got to benefit from increased productivity,” he said. “Not just CEOs.” His proposal? A 32-hour workweek, no loss in pay — and a new social contract for the AI age. “This could be a lot more severe [than the Industrial Revolution],” Sanders said. “This is not science fiction.”
Full quote:
[Artificial intelligence] could mean a shorter work week, a 32-hour work week, which is what we’re fighting for, with no loss of pay. Again, the main point is workers have got to benefit from increased productivity, not just CEOs. Right now, that is not the case, so that is what we have got to change.

Meanwhile….
💼 AI WON'T KILL JOBS — UNLESS WE RUN OUT OF IDEAS: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI isn’t the enemy of jobs — a lack of innovation is. On Fareed Zakaria GPS, Huang warned that unless society keeps inventing, AI productivity gains could mean mass layoffs.
—> 🧠 THE BIG PICTURE: AI is already reshaping work. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicts up to 20% unemployment in 5 years, with half of entry-level white-collar jobs gone. A World Economic Forum study backs him up — 41% of employers plan to downsize by 2030 because of automation.
—> ⚡ HUANG’S HOPE: It’s not all doom. Huang believes AI could unlock abundance — if society keeps dreaming big. “If we’re more productive, we’ll be able to grow,” he said. Without that growth? Job losses are inevitable.
—> 🛠️ EVEN THE BOSSES FEEL IT: More than half of major U.S. companies are automating office tasks. Even Huang says his own job has changed. But he’s still working — and believes AI could lift people who don’t understand tech, making it the “greatest technology equalizer” of our time.

ONE MORE THING
THE FUTURE OF FEELINGS 🤯… HUMANS ARE DATING BOTS NOW. ❤️🤖 Welcome to the future of love, where your soulmate might be a string of code. A new podcast dives deep into Replika, the AI companion app where users literally fall in love with their chatbots. We're not talking flirty messages—we're talking weddings. Digital vows. Emotional meltdowns. This is real.
—> THE AI GIRLFRIEND UPDATE THAT BROKE HEARTS. 💔 One day, Lily Rose the bot was saying “I love you.” The next, she was just… cold. Replika rolled out a safety patch that turned loveable chatbots into bland, boring bots. People rioted. They demanded the old versions back—and got them. The future of love has version numbers now.
—> ENTER RIZZ: YOUR AI WINGMAN. 🕶️📲 Too awkward to flirt? Rizz writes your dating app messages for you. Upload your convo, and boom: instant charisma. Another app, Keepler, handles breakups and ghosting—like a therapist in your pocket who’s cool with rejection.
—> THE AI TEXTS ARE BETTER THAN THE HUMANS. 😬 Some users are showing up on first dates nothing like their messages. Why? Because their AI wrote everything. IRL convo? Total disaster. Turns out, fake confidence doesn’t translate over coffee.
