Verified Priority Access offers an unspecified number of people the chance to buy either a GeForce RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 Founders Edition graphics card direct from the company. This "opportu

Elon’s DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion. The Real Figure Was $8 Million.

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-06-08 04:55:35

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency claims to be fighting the scourge of government “waste” and fraud and, this week, DOGE claimed that it had already saved taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. However, in an ironic twist, it would appear that the claims being made by Musk and DOGE about their own activities appear to be, themselves, fraudulent. Despite recently claiming that it had already saved Americans $55 billion, the information on DOGE’s website only accounts for $16 billio

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-06-08 05:30:52

In the past few years, there’s been plenty of Star Trek to talk about—new shows starting, older shows coming to their ends, the franchise’s future on screens big and small alike (although not always entirely successfully). But for some Trek diehards, a peculiar string of numbers is all that has been on their lips: 765874. That number—the purported Starfleet serial number of Yeoman J. M. Colt from the original Star Trek pilot episode “The Cage”—is the title that has been given to a series of sho

techcrunch.com Dominic-Madori Davis 2025-06-08 04:15:00

Swizzle Ventures has closed its Fund I at $6.6 million, bypassing its initial $3 million target, Jessica Kamada, the firm’s founder, told TechCrunch. Back in December, TechCrunch reported that the firm, which quietly launched in 2023, was raising and has already bypassed $5 million, per its SEC filing. The thesis of Fund I will focus on women’s health and wealth, touching upon issues such as caregiving and finances. Kamada told TechCrunch that 70% of the fund’s LPs are women and 50% are expert

techcrunch.com Mary Ann Azevedo 2025-06-08 05:59:53

Fintech Varo has been hoping to raise a $55 million Series G round but has, so far, closed on $29 million to date, according to a recent SEC filing. Varo declined to comment on this new round but the fintech has raised just over $1 billion in funding since its 2015 inception, according to PitchBook. It wouldn’t be the first time its fundraising didn’t go as hoped for. In 2023, Varo raised a $50 million equity round at a lower valuation ($1.85 billion post-money) than its massive and, it said,

futurism.com Unknown 2025-06-08 05:26:15

Amazon's Prime Video on-demand streaming service appears to be using generative AI to write up public movie summaries — and the results are embarrassing, with what looks like AI slop getting copy-pasted into the description of an iconic film. A viral image on Bluesky shows the description of the Oscar-winning 1975 drama "Dog Day Afternoon," starring Al Pacino, which includes the suspicious phrase: "Unfortunately I do not have enough information to summarize further within the provided guideline

Twitch community guideline violations will now disappear from accounts after a set time

engadget.com Unknown 2025-06-08 08:51:22

Twitch has rolled out a number of changes to its violation enforcement system. The biggest change is that now infractions will disappear from an account “after a set amount of time.” This is great news for long-time creators, as minor violations stacked. This led to folks getting suspended as these smaller infractions piled up. The platform says that most minor infractions, like cheating in an online game, will expire after 90 days.

On Thursday, Apple unveiled the newest edition to its iPhone lineup, namely the iPhone 16e. Also: I revisited the iPhone SE in 2025 Initially, many people assumed Apple would christen it with the name iPhone SE 4.
