Episode Description

The CFTC proposed prediction market rules banning bets on war and assassinations. SpaceX drew $250B+ in IPO demand far beyond its $75B target. Microsoft patched a record ~200 security flaws, Tesla has just 59 robotaxis, and Siri AI gets its first hands-on.

  • Sources: the CFTC will propose new prediction market rules, banning bets it finds aren't in the public interest or that seem highly susceptible to manipulation (WSJ)
  • Microsoft's June 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes a record nearly 200 security flaws, 33 rated Critical, as it and security researchers increasingly use AI to find bugs (Krebs on Security)
  • Sources: SpaceX has drawn $250B+ of investor demand for what is poised to be the largest IPO to date, far beyond the $75B that SpaceX is aiming to raise (Reuters)
  • Tesla has just 59 vehicles in its robotaxi fleet and is limited to three Texas cities after almost a year, nowhere close to Elon Musk's big promises (Bloomberg)
  • Hands-on with Siri AI: successfully executed multistep prompts, understood context well, has strong guardrails, and seems a bit more dispassionate than Gemini (The Verge)
