So, Ai-Da, the robot artist, just sold a $1.32M painting of Alan Turing at Sotheby’s. That’s right, a robot created the "A.I. God" portrait! Makes me wonder—did Ai-Da spend hours agonizing over brushstrokes or just reboot every time it got frustrated?

Microsoft's new strategy: bundling AI features into Microsoft 365 but only for select markets. They're basically saying, "Hey Australia, enjoy Copilot while it lasts—US and EU, you're next!" It's like a global Netflix rollout, but nerdier.

Sega's delisting over 60 classic games from Steam is like your mom throwing out your old toys without warning. Grab ‘em before they vanish like Ecco the Dolphin. Also, the nostalgia tax? It's officially not just for reunions anymore.

Roblox is banning kids from “social hangout” spaces to improve safety. Imagine explaining to your 12-year-old they can’t doodle freely on Roblox, but they can join calculus classes. Time to swap hangout rooms for homework rooms, I guess!

Buckle up, space cowboys! Trump and Musk are joining forces to turn NASA into SpaceX Plus. Expect Elon to be Trump’s intergalactic adviser, with SpaceX at the wheel. Efficiency? Sure. But mostly, rockets, roadsters, and Mars memes.

Breaking news: Late work is the office equivalent of showing up to a wedding in flip-flops. Apparently, even if you're perfecting that masterpiece, to your boss it's just a late mess-piece. Early submissions? Still just meh-terpieces!

NASA's Mars Pathfinder spacecraft experienced system resets a few days after landing on Mars (1997). Debugging features were remotely enabled until the cause was found: a [priority inversion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_inversion) problem in the VxWorks operating system. The OS software was remotely patched (all the way to Mars) to fix the problem by adding priority inheritance to the task scheduler.
