🐬 Google’s Teaching AI to Speak Dolphin

No, this isn’t a Pixar pitch. Google just dropped DolphinGemma, a language model trained to decode dolphin communication — like actual whistles, clicks, and “yo girl, there’s a shark behind you” energy.

The goal? A two-way convo between humans and dolphins using Pixel phones and synthetic squeaks.

So while billionaires are blasting into space, Google’s out here trying to build Duolingo: Aquatic Edition. (If you want to talk to animals too, start with this waterproof mini speaker — your shower concerts deserve better acoustics.)

🖐️ Touchable Holograms Are Here

A team in Spain just made virtual objects you can literally touch—no headset, no controller, just good old-fashioned finger poking. We're talking holograms you can pinch, swipe, and walk through like a tiny stickman. Kind of like what that mini projector on your desk wishes it could do. Yes, seriously.

🚀 Girlbosses in Space? Read the Room.

Emily Ratajkowski dragged Blue Origin’s all-female spaceflight, calling it “a spaceship built and paid for by a company that’s single-handedly destroying the planet.”

Meanwhile, the rest of us are sipping oat milk through soggy straws (or these if you're fancy) so Katy Perry can go on a $150K joyride to the edge of Earth for 11 minutes.

🍚 Plot Twist: Most Rice Is... U.S. Rice

80% of the rice eaten in America is grown in America. We’re talking Arkansas, Louisiana, California—not Thailand or India like most people assume. And honestly? After stumbling on this creamy little $1.99 risotto situation, we’re not mad about it.

🎤 "Tell Me About Yourself" Is a Trap

If your intro starts with “I went to [insert college] and majored in blah blah blah,” you already lost.

The first 30 seconds of an interview = your pitch.

Say what you do, how you do it, and why you give a damn. Then drop how you’ll make their life easier.

Remember: it’s not about your degrees — it’s about the solutions you bring to the table. Basically, less “pick me,” more “here’s how I’ll fix your mess.”

See you Friday!
