☀️ On this day: On May 25, 1977, George Lucas released Star Wars in 32 theaters across the United States, opening to modest expectations but instant word-of-mouth that sent lines around the block. The film's visual effects were built by Industrial Light & Magic, a company Lucas had assembled two years earlier in a Van Nuys warehouse specifically because no Hollywood studio could do what he needed. It grossed $460 million worldwide and, along with ILM, permanently reshaped how movies are made. Today the franchise is worth an estimated $70 billion.

Hand-picked news:
✝️ Pope Leo XIV publishes a 200-page AI encyclical ↗️LINK
Pope Leo XIV published his first papal encyclical Monday, dedicating over 42,000 words to AI's risks, including wealth concentration, autonomous weapons, and the exploitation of young people online.
The Pope argued AI systems imitate human intelligence but lack conscience, experience, and moral reasoning, and called on governments to build regulatory tools that keep both power and weapons decisions in human hands.
Leo delivered the remarks alongside Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah — an unusual pairing that suggests even the most pro-safety corners of Silicon Valley are looking for allies outside the industry.
🕶️ Xreal launches smart glasses with Google ↗️LINK
Xreal unveiled Project Aura at Google I/O: wired OLED smart glasses tethered to a pocket-sized puck, supporting immersive Maps, VR YouTube, hand-tracked games, and a holographic painting app.
CEO Chi Xu says the industry is hitting an inflection point as hardware shrinks and software matures, with Meta's Ray-Ban partnership proving consumers will actually buy smart glasses at scale.
Xreal expects to break even next year and is targeting an IPO before year-end, though Meta's Reality Labs, the category's current volume leader, still loses billions annually.
🛡️ Anthropic's AI found 10,000 bugs in a month ↗️LINK
Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview and ~50 partners discovered over 10,000 high- or critical-severity vulnerabilities in one month through Project Glasswing, including 271 Firefox bugs Mozilla already patched.
Cloudflare found 2,000 bugs using Mythos with a false positive rate better than human testers, while independent triage confirmed 62% of 6,200+ flagged open-source issues as genuinely critical.
Anthropic is keeping Mythos gated, citing insufficient safeguards industrywide — but with OpenAI and Chinese labs building rival cyber models, that window won't stay closed forever.
🍎 Apple finally shows up to the AI party ↗️LINK
Apple quietly registered genai.apple.com weeks before its June 8 WWDC keynote, while reports indicate it is building a standalone Siri app with conversation history and text-based chat to rival ChatGPT and Gemini.
Apple and Google struck a deal in January 2026 to power the new Siri with Gemini at roughly $1 billion per year, marking the first time Apple has outsourced its core AI engine to a competitor.
Apple has been teasing major AI features since 2024, delaying most of them — WWDC 2026 is the third act of a show that really needs a payoff.
🤖 China launches national ID system for robots ↗️LINK
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched a national platform assigning every bipedal, AI-powered robot a unique identification code, tracked from production through recycling.
The system requires compliance from every link in the chain — manufacturers, sellers, service providers, users, and recycling facilities — with authorities using the codes to monitor risks and trace units to their source.
China is simultaneously the world's fastest-growing robot producer and now its first national robot registrar — meaning the rulebook being written domestically could easily become the global default.
