A planetary system at escape velocity

The article turns a speed measurement into a question about how durable planetary systems can be. Astronomers appear to have found a red dwarf star and a gas-giant planet racing through the Milky Way at roughly 541 kilometers per second. That would make the pair the fastest known planetary system and, more importantly, the first planet-hosting example in a rare class of objects called hypervelocity stars.

Techmeme surfaced this June 7, 2026 story in its OpenAI superapp cluster, and the original article is Cristina Criddle’s Financial Times report, OpenAI plans to overhaul ChatGPT in the coming weeks, turning it into a superapp with coding tools and AI agents.

The interesting part is not that OpenAI wants a cleaner ChatGPT interface. The more important shift is that OpenAI appears to be reorganizing ChatGPT around work that can be monetized: coding, agents, image generation, partner apps, and enterprise workflows. TechCrunch’s recap says the company wants ChatGPT to become a gateway from free usage into paid products like Codex, while Fortune’s Bloomberg summary says the overhaul is tied to IPO pressure, Anthropic competition, and the belief that agentic workflows will be more valuable than ordinary question-answer chat.

This summary covers The Economist’s May 30th, 2026 Science & technology article listed in the contents as Edible electronics and published under the headline Eat your electronics.

The article argues that ingestible electronics are moving from medical curiosity toward practical diagnostic tools. The basic idea sounds odd: patients swallow a tiny device, let it travel through the digestive system, and collect data from parts of the body that are otherwise awkward, invasive or expensive to inspect. But the technology is becoming more serious because the gut is not just a tube for food. It is a dense chemical environment shaped by microbes, inflammation, diet, disease and drugs. If doctors can read that environment in real time, they may be able to spot illness earlier and treat it more precisely.

• s_dalbiac: It’s none of JD Vance’s fucking business
• Scaryclouds: “No 10” = number 10 downing st, the street address of the British prime minister’s office. This is the functional UK equivalent of saying “The White House does X”.

Leak Reveals Microsoft Wants Its AI To Be ‘Addictive’ (r/technology)

• EconomyDoctor3287: Maybe start making it useful first? And finish one product at a time? Wtf are there 80 different versions of microslop copilot?
• lppedd: Microslop can’t build anything really useful so Satya Slopella has to create artificial drugs.
• equality4everyonenow: Microsoft’s whole business model is to bundle barely passable software into their other offerings to fill a need that you have… terribly.. And the best you can hope for is that over time they fix the bugs and add the features that makes it slightly less annoying to work with. Does anyone really love any Microsoft product that isn’t DirectX?

Let us filter AI slop, you cowards - Online platforms could prove whether AI labels work by giving us a filter option, but then they’d have to face reality. (r/technology)

• dhirajsharma1173: If a platforms AI detection is not accurate enough for filtering then its also not accurate enough for labeling
• Just-Grocery-2229: Imagine logging in and only seeing stuff made by actual humans, that would be WILD!!!
• PuzzleMeDo: I feel like all that would do is prove that filtering doesn’t work because people won’t label their content as AI if it might get filtered out.

A younger surface on an older moon

The moon looks like a fixed relic, but the article presents it as an archive whose first pages may have been partly rewritten. Scientists have long had two competing clocks for the moon’s birth. Lunar rock samples suggest that the moon-forming impact happened about 4.35 billion years ago. Planet-formation models and zircon fragments from the lunar surface, however, point to an older origin, at least 4.51 billion years ago. That gap of roughly 150 million years is not a small bookkeeping error. It changes the story of how Earth, the moon and the early solar system settled into their present forms.

Techmeme surfaced this June 5, 2026 story in its Google-SpaceX compute cluster, and the direct source used here is Sean O’Kane’s TechCrunch article, Google will pay SpaceX \$920M per month for compute, alongside SpaceX’s SEC free-writing prospectus.

The remarkable part is not only the size of the number. SpaceX says Google agreed to pay \$920 million per month from October 2026 through June 2029 for access to about 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs plus associated CPUs, memory, and other components. That is a huge infrastructure lease by any normal cloud standard. But the sharper signal is that the buyer is Google, one of the companies assumed to have the deepest AI infrastructure bench in the world.

This summary covers The Economist’s May 30th, 2026 Leaders article on military technology and the changing logic of war, published under the headline Smarter tech is making war a dumber choice and listed in the contents as The future of war.

The article argues that modern military technology has changed the bargain behind wars of choice. Leaders still imagine short, decisive campaigns in which superior forces impose their will. But recent wars suggest the opposite: sensors, drones, precision weapons and artificial intelligence are making battlefields more transparent, offensives harder and weaker defenders more dangerous. The result is not a clean replacement of old warfare with a new formula. It is a harsher environment in which attacking states can destroy more targets than ever while still failing to achieve their political goals.

Phoenix police fire sergeant who brought gun to ICE protest, refused to obey chief’s order (r/news)

• Alwayssunnyinarizona: I am genuinely surprised our new chief of police did the right thing here. Sure, the fired officer will get a job in Chandler or Ahwatukee or wherever, but at least the PHX PD did something right for once.
• mastermidget23: Reading the article, this pos was basically saying “if I can’t carry a weapon at these kinds of events while off duty, I will just go against your policy and claim I quit so I can’t be fired”. Fucking psychopaths shouldn’t be given guns and authority.
• Iribumkiak: He is just going to get another police job in another jurisdiction.

Earworm Kars4Kids jingle yanked from California radios (r/news)

• ap83: I change the station anytime this comes on
• IndigoRanger: One of the greatest deadpan bits in recent memory was Paul F. Tompkins complaining about how that jingle is so manipulative, because “just think of all the money they save getting kids to sing it instead of adults.”
• Macdaddy357: Sham charities are a giant problem, we need a defined standard of how much money can be wasted on paid directors and advertising.

TIL a supermarket suddenly closed in 1999 and the store was abandoned with all its products and equipment inside still in place. Since the store was sealed up everything remained preserved. (r/todayilearned)

• TGAILA: No one took full responsibility. The owners defaulted on their loans, the bank seized the building and sold the lease, and the new owner just let the contents sit until the landlord finally got a judgement to take back the premises. Abandonment by committee.
• LouSputhole94: Having read through the wiki, it honestly seems like a pretty stupid business decision. The inventory or assets they left behind could have offset the debt burden a bit. Or at the very least, had they notified the various companies they had renting floor space, those companies could have collected some things. Seems like they just went “fuck it, let the bank deal with it.”
• slice_of_pi: This is one of those things that apocalypse stories or zombie tales rarely talk about. The actual story of this supermarket is horrifying.

Why does New York seem so dirty compared to other world-class cities? (r/NoStupidQuestions)

• TheSweetestChicx: A big part is the visible garbage. NYC has older infrastructure and limited alley space, so trash often sits on sidewalks before pickup. That alone makes streets feel dirtier, even if many other major cities handle waste very differently.
• WorldTallestEngineer: Most megacities (over 10 million people) have a lot of back alleys with dumpsters. New York has almost no back alleys, and no place to put dumpsters. So trash bags are piled on the street.
• WarderWannabe: Should’ve seen it in the 70’s. It’s Disney world now by comparison.

• Bupod: We will PRETEND to build the mother of all data centers, and the Mormons will pay for it! And when the bubble pops, we simply ride off in to the sunset!
