Paige from Giggly Squad
Hey, it's Paige from Giggly Squad and I want to let you know that if you want the newest and hottest beauty products, you have to go to Sephora. I'm obsessed with the one size liquid blotting paper spray. It's the first of its kind blotting spray that mattifies for up to eight hours. It's on Unreal. There's also the Summer Friday shade drops SPF 50, which basically lives in my bag at this point. Oh, and the Kayali Eden plush pear smells so good. It's sweet, warm and addictive. Like people literally stop me and ask what perfume I'm wearing, which you know I love. So if you want the makeup, skincare, hair and fragrance products everyone's about to be obsessed with, shop only at Sephora.

I'm Jake Stauch, co founder and CEO of Cervel. We built Servl to automate the IT work that slows companies down. Onboarding password resets access to applications. My laptop stopped working. While employees wait for help, their real work is put on hold. It desperately wants to automate this work. And that's why they need Serval. You just tell Serval what you want to automate in plain English and it's built. No drag and drop workflows, no expensive consultants. Employees get unblocked and IT teams go from drowning in tickets to building what actually matters. With Cervel, it becomes the AI engine powering the entire company. This is a new way to run it. We guarantee you'll automate 50% of all tickets. And we'll prove it to you in a free four week pilot. Go to servl.com acast that's S E-R-V-A-L.com

Kmart Announcer
acast Kmart's the original home of low prices every day. And we're not just saying that. Here's proof. 13 years ago, our 12 piece white dinner set was just $7. And guess what? It's still $7 today. In fact, some of our products are now even lower. Like our silicon kitchen utensils. Twelve years ago they were $2 each and now they're only $1.50 each. We work hard to keep prices low to help make everyday living brighter. Kmart Low price.

These are the daily tech headlines for Thursday, June 4, 2026. I'm Rob Dunwood. SpaceX publicly set its IPO share price at $135. Part of Elon Musk's determined effort to raise a record $75 billion and achieve a $1.75 trillion valuation. This landmark offering, the largest in history, sees Musk rewriting the IPO playbook by announcing the price early and planning an unusually large retail tranche of up to 30%. The high valuation, which reflects a 90 times plus revenue multiple, comes despite the company reporting a net loss of $4.94 billion on $18.67 billion in revenue in 2025. The investor roadshow begins Thursday, with pricing expected on June 11. ChatGPT reached 1 billion global monthly active users in May, three years after launch and more quickly than any other service in history. OpenAI faces intense rivalry from Anthropic, whose cloud app is rapidly gaining traction in the enterprise sector and boast 30 billion in annualized revenue. Company's fundamental challenge is the punitive economics of AI, expensive inference and free usage, which requires converting its large non paying audience into sustainable revenue. To manage heavy compute spending, Google is rolling out a new toggle and search console initially testing in the UK to allow webmasters to exclude their domains from its AI generated search results, including AI overviews and AI mode. This measure was imposed by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority to empower publishers in negotiating content deals. Google confirmed that opting out means sites forfeit traffic and impressions from generative AI features, but their standard search ranking will not be affected. Additionally, Google has introduced new insights in Search Console to give webmasters metrics on which of their pages appear in AI responses. Uber's AV Labs debuted a new Sensory Heavy prototype vehicle, a modified Hyundai Ioniq 5, to collect real world navigational data. Ford's autonomous technology partners. The company will deploy a global fleet of 500 of these EVs this year, using an array of cameras, radars and LiDAR to generate millions of miles of high fidelity data monthly. This initiative marks Uber's return to in house vehicle assembly and is a key to its broader autonomous strategy, which involves supplying critical data sets to over 30 external collaborators and managing robotaxi logistics. The Meta Oversight Board has called for significant reforms to Meta's account disabling procedures, citing concerns over due process and inconsistent penalties between Facebook and Instagram. The Board's review, triggered by an Instagram ban, highlighted user frustration with automated systems and limited human oversight. Key recommendations include creating a transparent appeals process with written explanations, notifying users when AI driven penalties are applied, and including account ban data in transparency reports. To ensure greater accountability, Google released GEMA 412B, an 11.95 billion parameter open weights model designed for local execution on Enterprise laptops with 16gb of VRAM, this encoder free unified architecture minimizes latency and memory use by processing raw audio and visual data directly. Featuring a 256k context window, native agentic tool use and step by step reasoning, it's optimized for multimodal autonomous workflows. Available now on hugging face, the model has specific ingestion limits 30 seconds for audio, 60 seconds for video, and is not intended for massive knowledge retrieval. Meta Platforms has repeatedly delayed the release of its newest closed AI model, musespark, and its crucial developer API, creating uncertainty around its ability to monetize massive AI infrastructure investments, which are projected to reach up to $145 billion this year. The API launch, originally planned for April and now postponed to at least late June due to technical issues, is essential for developers to access the model and for Meta to enter the profitable proprietary API market currently dominated rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic. To offset this capital expenditure and investor scrutiny, Meta is pursuing new monetization strategies including subscriptions for its AI chatbot and the potential creation of a cloud computing business. Substack introduced reply rules for English publications, enabling creators to set automated moderation guidelines for comments, notes and chat. The system learns from user behavior to filter content like profanity or AI generated text, reinforcing Substack's decentralized approach where writers manage their own communities. Despite criticism over its handling of harmful rhetoric, the platform remains committed to its unique moderation path. This year Subsdec also expanded its toolkit with a built in recording studio and video focused TV app. And finally, Nintendo has confirmed plans to release a version of the Switch 2 with user swappable batteries in 2027 to comply with the EU's 2023 right to repair policy. These EU compliant products, which will have BEE model prefixes and the code OSM on the packaging, will be sold SE and are likely limited to the region. The company is simultaneously phasing out the older Switch 1 console, although the price and sale date for the new variant are unconfirmed. Nintendo recently raised a standard switch 2 price in the EU from €470 to €500 due to rising memory costs.
