Tech journalist Kris Abel joins Good News Tuesday with three stories that land differently depending on how optimistic you are about the future. Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference revealed a new Siri built on Google's Gemini technology, with longer conversations, better task planning, and customisable voice and pacing. Apple Intelligence is also reaching back to support iPhones as old as the iPhone 11. Whether any of it lives up to the announcement is, as Abel puts it, something to believe when you see it.

Meanwhile, Chinese robotics company Unitree is having a remarkable week. Eight of their humanoid robots performed as a dance troupe on America's Got Talent, another appeared in news coverage outside a Knicks playoff game, and a third scaled a volcano in Ecuador. The company is now preparing a Mount Everest attempt.

Waze and Google are throwing FIFA World Cup scores and player stats onto your screen while you're stopped at a light. Good News Tuesday has officially gone full robot.
