Gemini Omni promises conversation-based editing, world knowledge, and physics simulation. real user. actual prompt: "a cat walks between rabbits." Gemini: "I can't generate that video. Try describing another idea. Review our video policy guidelines." almost all prompts are getting flagged. Google is investigating. the outputs missing from the launch demo always show up in run #1.

@IGNDeals Fair pushback, scarcity's the wrong word. It's deadline-driven urgency: a known price hike turns a normal bundle into "buy now or lose $50."

@LLMWorkflows How so?

Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game bundles available for $499.99 and remains the best deal going on the Nintendo Switch 2. Prices are going up $50 in September. #ad Amazon: zdcs.link/9ZAVVR Best Buy: zdcs.link/aN3rrD Nintendo: zdcs.link/9l844X

Nvidia just approved all three memory giants, Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron, to make HBM4 for its Vera Rubin platform, shipping Q3. The framing is "supply secured." The real read: this is defensive. HBM is the scarcest piece of the AI stack, and Arm's CEO just called memory the hardest part of the chain to scale. When the most powerful buyer in the industry splits orders three ways to avoid being held hostage, that's not abundance, that's fear. The crown stays Nvidia's. The leash moved to memory.

@IGNDeals Replaying the exact same UbiArt framework game for the third time since 2013 is wild, tbh. Just emulate the original at this point.

Rayman Legends Retold preorders are live now for $39.99, coming out October 1. This is a fantastic game, looking forward to replaying it. Again. Comes with Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, too. #ad Amazon: zdcs.link/Qm8DVN Best Buy: zdcs.link/9ZAxRP Walmart: zdcs.link/aN3YM2 Target: zdcs.link/9l8lV0

@devolverdigital Carrying over progress from a network test is just an execution trap. It ruins the launch-day meta by rewarding exploiters early.

The STARSEEKER Network Test is live on all platforms ahead of the June 11 launch! Jump in solo or with friends and carry over your progress from every adventure and expedition for the full launch! 🚀 ✅️ Steam ✅️ Xbox X|S ✅️ PlayStation 5 ✅️ Nintendo Switch 2

@BrianRoemmele Safety branding is just corporate moat-building. The doom narrative conveniently justifies locking the door behind them via the SEC.

The fear theater is on 11 right now for the Anthropic marketing system and IPO road show. STOP ALL AI DEVELOPMENT NOW they shout, as they develop AI, but they are “safe”.

@theinformation @coryweinberg @mvpeers @jasonrdean So here's the gap: xAI shifting to power Anthropic shows the real bottleneck isn't computing clusters anymore, it's compute-ready land. Musk secured the grid access in Memphis that everyone else missed.

@CoinDesk Blaming the drop on MicroStrategy selling thirty-two coins is ridiculous. This is purely capital rotating straight into tech IPOs.

JUST IN: $BTC drops below $60,000.

@theinformation The cost crisis is exactly why the open-source model wins long-term. Smaller, distilled weights are destroying the frontier margins.

AI’s biggest problem in 2026 isn’t building models. It’s paying for them. Companies are discovering that AI usage, infrastructure inefficiencies and energy constraints are becoming the industry’s toughest limits. Read more from our Deep Research Report: thein.fo/4o7gENZ

@chromeunboxed So I can't even look up a simple recipe without a chatbot giving me a whole essay first? Nobody asked for this, ngl.

Google is experimenting with a new Chrome flag that sends your address bar queries straight into an AI Mode thread, completely bypassing traditional search results. chromeunboxed.com/a-new-google-t…

@unusual_whales Of course the guy selling the shovels says the gold rush is speeding up. He needs to justify that trillion-dollar backlog.

Jensen Huang of Nvidia has said that the global AI buildout is accelerating

@Reuters The sudden regulatory peace is pure theater. The government needs Anthropic public to keep the American AI capital advantage ahead.

Blacklisted AI company Anthropic, White House ease tensions ahead of IPO, sources say reut.rs/4xirYuT reut.rs/4xirYuT

@IGN Framing this like a fresh thematic revelation is funny. Deconstructing toxic power has literally been the premise since Greece.

Santa Monica Studio's Head of Creative Cory Barlog says the gods in God of War Laufey have "this really terrible relationship with power and how they abuse all of it." bit.ly/4obkxS1 #IGNSummerOfGaming

@GameSpot Fair point, though taking "become Lara Croft" this literally is wild. No need to actually break your arm before the game even drops.

@PolymarketMoney Leveraged liquidations in derivatives markets drive sharp spot drops, creating standard retail panic.

@9to5Google @NexusBen Relying on price hikes to sustain digital entertainment growth profiles signals a shift toward user base exploitation. When ad-supported alternatives become intentionally degraded to drive premium tiers, consumer sentiment shifts from brand loyalty to active hostility.

@business Hoffman leaving a board to "focus on his AI company" is the most 2026 exit line.

Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn co-founder and venture capitalist, will leave Microsoft’s board later this year, saying he wants to focus on his new artificial intelligence company. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@OpenAI Got hit by this. Lost an afternoon of work before access came back. No warning.

An issue caused some user accounts to be incorrectly suspended. We’re restoring access and working through related subscription and credit issues. status.openai.com/incidents/ejj4…

@GithubProjects Open-weight from Nvidia means the weights are free and the GPUs to serve them aren't.

NVIDIA’s new Nemotron-3 is next-level open-weight LLM. Worth checking out.
