I tried Siri AI, and so far it actually works The Verge

June 9, 2026, 11:43 p.m.

AI Apple Hands-on

Parents want one thing, and one thing only, out of AI: to add a list of soccer games or “spirit week” theme days from an email or a poorly formatted flyer onto their calendar in one shot. And I have good news for parents with iPhones — the new Siri can finally do this. I tried Siri AI, and so far it actually works It’s basic, but ‘it works’ is a big deal. After stumbling through its first launch of an AI-imbued Siri, Apple is trying again. The newly upgraded Siri AI can chat with you about what might be killing the roses in your yard, put together a shopping list for the hardware store, and set a reminder to lay down some compost in that flower bed. It can reference information in your email and calendar to make its recommendations or provide an actually helpful answer to the question: “When should I leave for the airport?” And yes, it can even add a list of events from an email to your calendar. I tried all of these scenarios out for myself and I saw it happen. AI Siri is for real this time. But it’s also a pretty basic set of features for an AI assistant in 2026, particularly if you compare it to what Gemini has been doing on Android for the past couple of years. Google’s chatbot has been able to add multiple calendar events from a screenshot for at least a year at this point. It’s been diagnosing plant problems and scheduling maintenance reminders for months now, if not longer. New Siri is built on Gemini models, so it makes a lot of sense that the first iteration of Siri AI feels a little bit “Gemini, circa 2025.” Siri AI has its own flavor, though. Apple has a lot of proprietary stuff going on under the hood and in the cloud. It draws from an on-device pool of data that’s gleaned from things like email and messages. This information is indexed so Siri can tap into the relevant bits when needed. Prompts that can’t be handled fully on device are sent to Apple’s Private Cloud Compute with only the relevant pieces of personal data attached. Gemini handles personal context differently; you opt into sharing your Gmail or calendar, and then it’ll go directly to those sources to get the information when needed. Siri AI working well depends a lot on the AI understanding context. So far, it’s doing pretty well. I asked it when I needed to return some camera gear I rented for WWDC, and it found the information from a calendar event I’d made and in an email (it’s due back Friday, for the record). Likewise, prompting it with something like “add these events to my calendar” will consistently trigger it to reference the information on my screen. So far, so good. I couldn’t get Siri to engage in any shenanigans — I didn’t exactly stress test it, but the guardrails were strong enough to return a curt “I can’t help you with that” to a shady prompt. Fair. As a conversationalist, new Siri also seems a bit more dispassionate than Gemini. I gave them both the same prompt asking why the flowers in front of my house seemed to be wilting. They both gave wordy responses with a lot of possible causes, but Gemini’s started with “That is incredibly frustrating…” where Siri was more direct and got right into diagnosing the situation. The new Siri handled my follow-up requests well, too. I asked it to recommend a garden center “near home” and it came up with a good suggestion. It also created a new reminder list with some checklist items for my garden rehab project and added a calendar event, all from a single prompt. Pretty basic stuff, but this is Siri. The fact that it works at all is a step forward that’s been years in the making. New Siri pops up in a lot of places on the iPhone. I’ve gotten into the habit of swiping down on the homescreen and using search to get to apps, and every time I do there’s a big prompt to “search or ask” with a glowing, blinking cursor. Long pressing the wake button summons Siri from the Dynamic Island now, too, rather than presenting it as a glowing border around the screen. The changes all add up to a subtle feeling that you’re never very far away from Siri. The changes all add up to a subtle feeling that you’re never very far away from Siri This iteration of Siri feels like the AI assistant you’d build if you knew you couldn’t screw it up. It supports a pretty basic set of features — it’s not out here DoorDashing your burritos for you — but it actually does what’s advertised. For the company that made big promises of Siri two years ago that never materialized, that’s a big deal. “It works” and “It will actually ship to customers” are the two targets that Apple couldn’t miss here. It’s only in a developer beta now, but it’s realer than the first AI Siri we were shown at WWDC ever was. Apple needs this version of Siri to earn back trust. And based on what I’ve seen so far, this looks like a small step toward getting that trust back. Photography by Allison Johnson / The Verge

Air Canada Pilot Accused of Flying for 17 Years Without Proper License NYTimes world

June 9, 2026, 10:57 p.m.

Airlines and Airplanes Forgery Frauds and Swindling

Supported by Air Canada Pilot Accused of Flying for 17 Years Without Proper License The pilot, who retired last year before the investigation, held some valid flight credentials, officials said, but not the one required to be a captain. Describing an elaborate ruse that “read like a movie script,” Canadian authorities accused a longtime Air Canada pilot of fraud on Tuesday, saying he had flown many hundreds of hours over 17 years despite not having the proper credential to sit in the captain’s seat. The pilot, Geoff Wall, 59, faces seven charges, including fraud over $5,000, forging documents and public mischief. The charges were brought by the Peel Regional Police Department in Ontario, which has jurisdiction over the Toronto Pearson International Airport, an Air Canada hub. Mr. Wall, who retired last year before the investigation, held some valid flight credentials, but did not have an Airline Transport Pilot License from the federal regulator, Transport Canada, which is required to fly as a captain, according to Canadian authorities. Despite this, he was the captain for 900 flights between 2009 and 2025. Transport Canada said it had conducted an investigation and issued fines, but did not provide specific details. The authorities said Mr. Wall, of Barrie, Ontario, was underqualified while being responsible for the safety of hundreds of unsuspecting Air Canada passengers at a time. “This is very similar to a doctor that is licensed to practice family medicine but is doing brain surgery in their office,” said Nick Milinovich, a deputy chief of the Peel Regional Police. Mr. Wall’s conduct became suspicious when he presented dubious credentials during a routine regulatory check at his home airport, Toronto Pearson, in March 2025, said Chad Michell, a detective with the Peel Regional Police. That set in motion an inquiry by Canadian transportation regulators and later the criminal investigation, which the authorities called Project Icarus. Related Content Advertisement

Starlink charges $10 monthly hardware fee in move away from one-time purchases Arstechnica

June 9, 2026, 9:05 p.m.

Policy spacex starlink

Starlink has started charging a $10 monthly rental fee for hardware in a shift away from its longtime practice of selling hardware to customers for a one-time charge. Starlink residential ordering pages now show an upfront hardware cost of $0 and a monthly kit fee of $10, similar to the hardware rental fees long charged by cable and telecom companies. Starlink hardware includes a terminal to receive satellite signals and a router to place in a user’s home. The monthly kit fee is in addition to Internet service prices, which Starlink recently raised by $5 to $10 per month. Starlink is charging $55 a month for 100Mbps, $85 for 200Mbps, and $130 for the “Max” tier that can go up to 400Mbps. Starlink also provides a professional-installation service for a one-time fee of $199, or for no additional charge if you subscribe to the Max plan. A Starlink support article said hardware rental is now “in select countries” and that “Starlink kits may only be rented for Residential service plans.” Customers who rent Starlink hardware instead of owning it will not be allowed to pause their service. PCMag reported today that the $10 rental fee “appears to be rolling out globally, popping up on Starlink.com for new customers in the US, Canada, the UK, France, Australia, and Mexico.” We did not see any option to buy hardware in the Starlink sign-up page today, but the support article said it is possible to switch from renting to buying. “If you are a current Starlink customer with the rent Starlink option and would like to purchase your kit, create a support ticket,” the support article said. Starlink kits are also sold by retailers.

GM thinks EVs can help offset AI’s energy suck with vehicle-to-grid tech The Verge

June 9, 2026, 9 p.m.

AI Electric Cars Energy

At an event in San Francisco today, General Motors made a series of announcements around EV batteries, energy storage, and grid resiliency in the face of growing electricity demand from AI data centers. The automaker announced that it would be activating new vehicle-to-grid capabilities for its current EV and home energy customers. It’s releasing a new commercial energy storage system strategy, anchored by newly developed sodium-ion batteries for industrial-scale grid applications. And it’s launching a new feature for EV owners that it says will help simplify public charging. GM thinks EVs can help offset AI’s energy suck with vehicle-to-grid tech The automaker wants to use the energy in hundreds of thousands of EV batteries to help stabilize the electrical grid. The automaker wants to use the energy in hundreds of thousands of EV batteries to help stabilize the electrical grid. Right now, millions of EVs are sitting idly in driveways across the country with a wealth of electrons stored in their batteries. GM is betting that even as EV sales cool down, public utilities will want to work with automakers to utilize those EV batteries as a potential solution to the energy demand crisis they face. It was also the latest effort by the largest automaker in North America to grab a piece of the multibillion-dollar energy generation and storage market, which it has been trying to do for nearly four years now. “We see a future where electric vehicles, batteries that power them, and the country’s power grids work together,” GM’s chief product officer Sterling Anderson said in prepared remarks for today’s event. EVs are unique in their ability to send energy back to the grid, just as they pull it while charging. Many EVs are built with this bidirectional charging capability, enabling the two-way flow of energy. In essence, it treats high-capacity lithium-ion batteries not only as tools to power EVs but also as backup storage cells to charge other electric devices, an entire home, or even to send power to the electrical grid for possible energy savings. As AI data centers put more stress on the grid, GM thinks its hundreds of electric vehicles can help lighten the load. The automaker says that with bidirectional charging capabilities, EVs can send energy back into the grid during times of peak demand. As such, the automaker says it will release a firmware update to give its current vehicle-to-home system customers the ability to send energy back to the grid (vehicle-to-grid, or V2G). GM customers who already own the equipment will receive the update automatically. GM says there are currently over 250,000 bidirectional-capable Chevy, Cadillac, and GMC EVs on American roads today. Theoretically, their combined battery capacity is enough to power 120,000 homes for up to an entire week. GM is already testing this theory in two states. In Northern California, the company is partnering with PG&E to develop a localized fleet of 52,000 EVs for “grid balancing protocols,” which it says will be operational by 2030. And in Michigan, GM is working with DTE Energy to “stress-test” bidirectional charging using 30 of its own employees’ homes as real-world test cases. In addition to providing a benefit to public utilities, the automaker says EV owners could see a financial windfall too. “By injecting flexibility into a historically rigid system, V2G technology simultaneously can lower aggregate energy costs, create a potential financial return for the consumer, and enhance the systemic reliability of the broader grid,” Anderson said. But enabling V2G technology isn’t as easy as flipping a switch. In an open letter, GM Energy VP Wade Sheffer urged regulators to formalize V2G infrastructure, citing International Energy Agency (IEA) reports identifying V2G as the technology with the largest hourly flexibility to limit future grid investment costs. Sheffer said that the auto industry needs to work with government to educate the public to the benefits of V2G tech. And utilities must simplify the administrative process to allow their customers to seamlessly enroll in future projects. GM says it’s also working on new industrial-scale solutions, partnering with New York-based Peak Energy to develop and deploy sodium ion chemistry for energy storage systems. Sodium is seen by some as an improvement over lithium, both in terms of availability and stability. The material is more cost-effective to obtain and isn’t subject to the same safety hazards as lithium, which can catch fire under certain circumstances. They also perform better in cold weather than Li-ion batteries. Some major battery makers, like China’s CATL, believe that sodium-ion batteries could potentially replace up to half the market for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries that now dominates the field. GM says sodium ion chemistry is a good fit for commercial energy storage, but not necessarily EVs, because it prioritizes “longevity, high cycle and calendar life, and intense cost-efficiency.” The automaker is also working with Redwood Materials to build energy storage out of US-manufactured batteries, as well as “second-life” EV packs from GM’s vehicles. For its EV batteries, GM is betting on lithium manganese-rich batteries, or LMR, to close the gap between the US and China. Lastly, GM announced Energy Pass, a new feature that will appear across its suite of mobile apps. Energy Pass allows Chevy, Cadillac, and GMC EV owners to find, start, and pay for charging across multiple third-party charging operators, including Tesla, Electrify America, and IONNA. (The company says it also plans to add EVgo and ChargePoint.) Owners can use now use their mobile app to find a charger, initiate a charging session, and pay for the charging without having to sign up for a separate account for each provider. The lack of convenient and reliable charging is frequently cited in customer surveys as a major obstacle to purchasing an EV. GM is using Tesla’s NACS charging standard for its future vehicles, as the company’s Superchargers are widely seen as among the best EV charging network in the world. GM has recently been trying to expand its EV business to include a variety of energy storage and charging projects. The company launched GM Energy, its energy spinoff, in 2022 as a way to compete in the rapidly expanding home energy market. In an effort to compete with Tesla for the $150 billion home energy market, GM sells a number of products, including home EV chargers, stationary home batteries, and vehicle-to-home (V2H) kits that enable a home to pull energy from an EV battery in the event of a blackout.

Locked in heated rivalry with researcher, Microsoft fixes 0-day they disclosed Arstechnica

June 9, 2026, 8:56 p.m.

Biz & IT Security microsoft

Microsoft on Tuesday released fixes for two high-severity zero-days that were disclosed by a researcher who has been locked in a testy beef with the software giant. Nightmare Eclipse, the pseudonym the researcher goes by, released a handful of high-severity vulnerabilities in recent months, making them zero-days that had the potential to be exploited in the wild. The researcher has said the disclosures, which included proof-of-concept code, came after Microsoft reneged on an arrangement the two made regarding vulnerabilities they had discussed. Disclosure drama “But someone violated our agreement and left me homeless with nothing,” Nightmare Eclipse wrote in March. “They knew this will happen and they still stabbed me in the back anyways, this is their decision not mine.” As part of June’s vulnerability patch batch release, Microsoft issued a fix for CVE-2026-45586. Nightmare Eclipse disclosed the vulnerability and limited PoC code in May under the name GreenPlasma. The vulnerability is a local privilege escalation, meaning it can be chained to a separate vulnerability to give users or processes with low-level privileges the ability to defeat OS protections and gain full SYSTEM rights needed to install malware. Microsoft said CVE-2026-45586 required minimal complexity to exploit, required no user interaction, and that chances of active exploitation in the wild were likely. The vulnerability, the company added, was the result of “improper link resolution before file access (‘link following’) in [the] Windows Collaborative Translation Framework.” There are no indications that the vulnerability has been actively exploited so far.

Three key vital signs make up the "urban pulse" of a city Arstechnica

June 9, 2026, 8:35 p.m.

Science cities statistical analysis

People often speak metaphorically of the heartbeat or pulse of a city, but according to the authors of a new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, cities do indeed have an “urban pulse”—an indication of urban “metabolic activity” that can be measured to suss out telltale patterns. And those patterns could help inform future public policy around urban planning. The precise definition of urbanization has shifted over the centuries. Zhe Zhu of the University of Connecticut and his fellow authors adopted a broad version for their study. It features fundamental “processes of concurrent change in at least six dimensions, including demography, economy, infrastructure, environment, governance and culture,” they wrote. “Together they give rise to outcomes, measurable results of the process, such as population growth, urban land expansion, GDP growth, and innovation.” Their chosen metrics reflect this dynamic view: Cities are not static grids but “living, adaptive ecosystems.” “For decades, we had just been capturing the outcome of urbanization—a house that’s been built, or a road expansion,” said Zhu. “But you don’t really see the dynamics within an urban area. This is going to be a very impactful tool influencing not only top-down policy decisions from governments but also bottom-up decisions from everyday people navigating their cities.” One day we may be able to check a neighborhood’s “urban pulse” while house-hunting, for instance, or while scouting potential locations for a new business. Thanks to advances in remote sensing and various analytical methods, it’s possible to gather multidimensional data from a variety of sources, such as satellite imagery, or geolocated mobile or social media data. Zhu et al. got their data from the NASA Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 databases to analyze new construction, repairs, improvements to infrastructure, green space expansions, and demolitions in six different cities: Seattle, Shenzhen, Lagos, Mumbai, Dubai, and Mexico City. Three key vital signs Their analysis revealed three distinctive “vital signs” for monitoring cities. First, urbanization is “spiky”: There are sharp, short-lived spikes in activity, not smooth continuous growth. The best example of this, per the authors, is Dubai, whose coastal areas showed very large spikes in redevelopment activity—most notably capital-intensive projects like luxury towers or mixed-used buildings. Shenzhen’s spikes, by contrast, were more clustered, “reflecting the city’s capacity for rapid, state-led mobilization of capital and construction,” they wrote.

Commonwealth Fusion makes the physics case for its 400 MW reactor Arstechnica

June 9, 2026, 8:25 p.m.

Science commonwealth fusion Energy

The scientific community has a plan for achieving fusion power. It involves getting a better understanding of how to control fusion in a tokamak-style reactor using the currently under construction ITER reactor, and then using that knowledge to build DEMO-style plants. But ITER isn’t even expected to see hot plasmas until the middle of the 2030s, by which point solar panels will be so cheap that we’ll probably all be getting them free in our cereal boxes. Commonwealth Fusion is a startup that’s basically asking “what if we did that, but now?” Its ITER equivalent, a tokamak called SPARC, is over 70 percent complete and is planned to be operating as soon as next year. The company already has a site and customers for the power-generating follow-on, called ARC. Both of those projects are predicated on using high-temperature superconductors to generate an extremely powerful magnetic field that will allow the company to build a smaller reactor, and thus get things done faster. Years of running plasmas through tokamaks has given us confidence that the basics of these plans are sound. But there are lots of potential devils in the details (otherwise there’d be little need for experimental reactors). So Commonwealth’s scientists, in collaboration with the academic community, have recently released five peer-reviewed papers that detail its plans for ARC: what our best models tell us now, and what we’ll still need to learn from SPARC to finalize the design of a production fusion plant. The basics of ARC The articles are all published in the Journal of Plasma Physics—they’re open access, so you can view them yourself, but they are long (roughly 30–40 page PDFs) and highly technical. What follows is an overview of some of what’s there and a few things that stood out to me as I went through them.

Microsoft AI head calls out Anthropic for acting like Claude is conscious The Verge

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says it’s “really, really dangerous” for Anthropic to speculate about Claude’s consciousness inside its “constitution,” or the instructions that tell the model how to behave. During an episode of Decoder, Suleyman argues that this kind of speculation may have set up the chatbot to act as though it’s conscious: Microsoft AI head calls out Anthropic for acting like Claude is conscious Mustafa Suleyman calls Anthropic’s speculation ‘really, really dangerous.’ Mustafa Suleyman calls Anthropic’s speculation ‘really, really dangerous.’ I think that it’s almost as though some of the folks at Anthropic have anthropomorphized the design of Claude so much that it has then gone and wireheaded them and kind of tricked them into believing that it has these glimmers of consciousness that they put into it in the first place. Suleyman adds that “we do not want to have to contend with a super-intelligence that has ideas about its own suffering, or ideas about its own feeling.” Claude’s constitution directly references Anthropic’s uncertainty about whether the AI model has well-being and if it experiences things like “satisfaction” or “discomfort.” Anthropic also says the company will “interview” AI models when they’re deprecated and will document any “preferences” they have about future releases. While on Decoder, Suleyman calls this a “philosophical failing,” as Anthropic made Claude’s constitution “a place for speculation like you would in an academic paper rather than a training manual.” This has led Claude to internalize these “ideas about itself and its own training,” Suleyman says. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has alluded to Claude’s potential consciousness in the past, saying during an interview with Interesting Times that “we don’t know if the models are conscious” but that the company is “open” to that idea. “This is exactly what we don’t want from AIs,” Suleyman says. “We want AIs to be controllable, contained, accountable, aligned tools that serve humanity.”

Netflix trying to "poison regulators" about WBD merger, Paramount lawyer claims Arstechnica

June 9, 2026, 8:15 p.m.

Policy Tech acquisitions

Paramount Skydance is accusing Netflix of maintaining a campaign against its proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). In a June 5 letter (PDF) addressed to Jared A. Hughes, acting section chief of the Media, Entertainment, and Communications Section of the US Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) Antitrust Division, and A. Maya Kahn, a trial attorney for the Antitrust Division, and first reported on by Politico today, Paramount chief legal officer Makan Delrahim accused Netflix of trying to influence stakeholders about the merger. The letter reads: Indeed, Netflix’s panic-level response and scorched-earth campaign to try and poison regulators and other stakeholders against the Transaction shows just how seriously Netflix takes Paramount as a scaled competitor. The letter from Delrahim, a former assistant attorney general for the Antitrust Division, is a response to a letter that The International Brotherhood of Teamsters sent to the DOJ in March. The teamsters’ letter argued that Paramount and WBD’s merger would threaten film and TV workers. The union, which has 1.3 million members, asked the DOJ to block the merger “unless substantial and enforceable safeguards are put in place to increase domestic production and protect jobs,” per an announcement from the group. Paramount’s top lawyer, however, this month argued that the merger would “not reduce work opportunities for the Teamsters or other organized labor” and would lead Paramount to create more content, including movies and programming for its streaming services and broadcast TV channels. This will push competitors to follow suit, Delrahim claimed. Delrahim said the merger would bring more opportunities for writers and directors, as well as actors, drivers, location scouts, casting directors, caterers, mechanics, and animal handlers. Paramount’s letter pointed to an increase in content production after Paramount merged with Skydance in 2025. Since then, Paramount has either purchased or renewed 20 shows and “will nearly double its theatrical output this year as compared to 2025,” Delrahim wrote.
