Chaos & Amazement #2525 Siri is dumb, Midjourney gets sued, Palantir cashes in

Jun 14, 2025

At this year’s WWDC, Apple announced plenty, just not what I was waiting for. After 13+ years, Siri is still painfully dumb. Apple claims it’s not behind in AI, just taking a different approach. But key features are still missing, last year’s demo was pre-recorded, and “coming this year” now means 2026. https://mjtsai.com/blog/2025/06/12/apples-spin-on-ai-and-ipados-multitasking/
Rivals Disney and Universal just teamed up to sue Midjourney for copyright infringement — marking the movie industry’s first big legal fight against AI-generated images.

Nearly $14 billion worth of Palantir shares have changed hands every day over the last five sessions, more than all but the largest stocks in American markets (even Amazon). https://sherwood.news/markets/amazon-palantir-worker-ratio-pltr-trades-more-volume/

"The Prompt Floor" is hands down my favorite Veo 3 video so far.

One of my favorite Belgian YouTubers just released a two-hour doc.
Rob Van Impe and his brother Arno thought an Ironman wasn't hard enough, so they tackled the Marathon des Sables — the toughest footrace in the world.
Training, injuries, the race, and the people they met. Worth watching.
