WANT TO TALK TO A DOLPHIN? GOOGLE JUST BUILT THE TECH TO TRY 🐬📡
It’s real. It’s happening. And it could change how we understand intelligence — on Earth and off it.
—> THE NEWS: Google and a team of marine scientists just launched DolphinGemma, the first AI trained to understand dolphin language. Built on the same tech behind Gemini, this large language model can detect, interpret, and predict dolphin communication patterns — and potentially help humans talk back.
—> WHAT WOULD WE EVEN TALK ABOUT?
Do dolphins name their kids?
Do they warn each other about predators?
Do they share food, tell jokes, express grief?
If the AI works, we could ask. And get answers.
—> WHY IT MATTERS: This isn’t just about dolphins. It’s a test case for two-way communication with non-human intelligence. If we can learn to “speak dolphin,” we unlock a new way to understand other species — and prep for how we might talk to extraterrestrial life someday.
—> WHAT’S NEXT: DolphinGemma will go open-source later this year. The system is already being tested in the Bahamas with wild dolphins and underwater AI-powered gear.

FUTURES
WALL STREET TAKES A BREATHER — BUT TRADE WAR FEARS STILL LOOM 📉📊After weeks of chaos, markets finally saw a rare calm day. But don’t exhale just yet.
—> THE NUMBERS:
S&P 500: down 0.2%
Dow: down 155 points (–0.4%)
Nasdaq: basically flat
—> THE CONTEXT: Markets barely moved Tuesday — a sharp contrast to the wild hourly swings we've seen lately, thanks to Trump’s unpredictable tariff war.
CRYPTO
TRUMP WANTS YOU TO PLAY — AND SPEND — IN HIS NEW CRYPTO GAME 🎲💰📱 A new mobile game backed by Trump’s team is set to launch this month, and it’s more than just Monopoly-style fun — it’s a gateway into Trump’s digital finance world, according to Fortune.
—> WHAT IT IS: The game lets users build digital cities and earn crypto rewards, similar to MONOPOLY GO! It’s being built by the same team behind Trump’s NFTs and $TRUMP memecoin. The idea is simple: make crypto feel like a game — and turn players into participants in Trump’s broader Web3 ecosystem.
—> THE STRATEGY: Trump’s not just chasing headlines — he’s building infrastructure. This game is a crypto onboarding machine:
🎮 Easy entry point for non-crypto users
🪙 Drives demand for $TRUMP and related tokens
🗳️ Aligns entertainment with political brand and voter engagement
—> WHY GAMES MATTER IN WEB3: Games are sticky — they keep users engaged. In crypto, that’s gold. They create digital economies, drive token use, and generate real value (if they work). Think Fortnite, but with tokens you can cash out or vote with.

SPACE
DIVE IN: THE SOLAR SYSTEM HAS A LOT OF OCEANS THAT WE JUST DISCOVERED. 🌊🧊🪐 New research says Uranus’ moon Miranda might hide a secret ocean — and it’s not alone. Earth’s oceans are no longer unique. They’re just… visible.
—> HOW MANY MOONS ARE WE TALKING? There are at least 290 known moons in our solar system — and we keep finding more. In 2025 alone, astronomers confirmed 17 new moons orbiting Uranus and Neptune. And last month, NASA announced that it found 128 new moons around Saturn.
Many of these icy worlds could be hiding liquid water oceans beneath their surfaces. It’s no longer “maybe there’s one.” It’s maybe they’re everywhere.
—> WHY HUMANS SHOULD CARE: Because this redefines what a habitable world is. Because these alien oceans could be teeming with life that doesn’t need sunlight. Because if this is common… we’re not alone in the cold. And because Earth — warm, wet, under open sky — might be the real cosmic outlier.

ONE MORE THING
OPENAI MIGHT BE BUILDING A SOCIAL NETWORK 🤖📱👀 New reporting says OpenAI has a prototype for a social feed inside ChatGPT’s image tool — think Instagram, but powered by AI.
—> WHY IT MATTERS: This could give OpenAI real-time user data to train models — and possibly compete with X. Yes, that X.
—> THE DRAMA: Sam Altman reportedly offered to buy “Twitter” for $9.7B — 75% less than what Musk paid — on purpose. The feud? Alive and petty.
