The Moon is slowly leaving us. |
(Even you, moon?) |
It drifts about 1.5 inches farther from Earth every year, which is why days used to be shorter and total solar eclipses won’t happen forever. |
The Moon is literally backing away, and somehow Earth still has to act normal about it. |
What’s in store: |

APPLE |
|
|
Apple used WWDC 2026 to give Siri its biggest glow-up in years. |
The new Siri AI now has its own dedicated app. |
Instead of having chats disappear into the Apple void, users can open the app, revisit past conversations, see quick summaries of what was said, and start a new chat from one place. |
The update also makes Siri feel much closer to modern AI chatbots. |
Users can type, speak, upload images or documents, and continue conversations across Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro. |
In brief: |
Siri now has its own app for starting and revisiting conversations. Users can interact through text, voice, images, and documents. Conversations can sync privately across supported Apple devices through iCloud. |
Apple tidies Siri |
Apple says conversation history will sync privately through iCloud, sticking to its usual privacy-first approach. |
The aim is to give Siri a more organised home inside Apple’s ecosystem as the assistant becomes more useful across apps and devices. |
Siri, babe, please stop acting confused. You have a whole app now.- MG |
Will a dedicated Siri app make people use it more? |

My grandchildren (ages 6 & 8) love storytelling, most kids do, they also like coloring books. I have taken real life characters and events to create exaggerated yet fun short stories (usually 5 pages) and used AI to create coloring pages that bring out smiles and giggles that grandparents long for. I've created images of them as themselves, superheroes, and cute kitties and puppies. Then we sit down and share crayons for extended playtime. I'm not using AI to change the whole world, only our little one. |

OPENAI |
|
|
OpenAI just moved one step closer to Wall Street. |
The company said it has confidentially filed a draft S-1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, one week after Anthropic made the same move. |
This does not mean either company is going public tomorrow, but it does mean both are getting the paperwork ready. |
For now, the important details are still hidden. |
Because the filings are confidential, investors cannot yet see the full financials, risks, executive pay, or the clearest version of each company’s business case. That is where things get interesting. |
Anthropic is currently valued at around $965 billion, while OpenAI has been reported at more than $850 billion. |
But public investors will be looking beyond the big numbers. |
The real question is whether AI demand can keep up with the huge cost of running these models. |
What to watch next: |
The public filings: These will show the numbers investors actually care about, including revenue, losses, risks, and infrastructure costs. The SpaceX reaction: A strong debut could lift the mood around AI-linked IPOs. A messy one could make everyone suddenly discover “long-term thinking”. The compute bill: Investors will want to know whether AI’s biggest players can turn expensive infrastructure into real, lasting growth. |
Valuations face gravity |
That matters especially for OpenAI. The company has been preparing for a potential IPO for months, but questions remain around revenue, user growth, and compute spending. |
OpenAI previously discussed a much larger infrastructure plan before later telling investors it expects to spend around $600 billion on compute by 2030. |
The next big date to watch is June 12, when SpaceX is expected to go public in what could become the largest IPO ever. |
Its debut could shape how investors feel about giant tech listings, especially with SpaceX now tied to xAI and Anthropic. |
For OpenAI and Anthropic, the next milestones are the public S-1 filings, the SEC review, and any confirmed roadshow or listing window. |
AI companies spent years asking us to believe in the future. Wall Street is now asking for the PDF.- MV |
