🍌 A Game About Bananas is Soaring on Steam Charts

Hello, fellow nerds 🧙

Oh man, the leaked news coming out of Apple’s camp days before their WWDC on June 10th is starting to HEAT UP.

So far, it’s lookin’ like ChatGPT and Siri are officially gonna be best buds and combine forces to give users a legit voice assistant. Finally. Now, we’re cautiously optimistic because nothing comes free with these AI upgrades. We’re guessing a subscription model is gonna pop up somewhere to get the new and improved version of Siri.

Here’s the daily quests in AI to complete today:

A Game About Bananas is Soaring on Steam Charts

Yep, you read the title right. There’s an actual game on Steam where you literally click a jpeg of a banana until your heart’s content or your fingers fall off. whatever comes first.

That’s it. That’s the entire game.

And no, I’m not making this shit up.

Ok, but what’s the point? What’s got over 31,000 concurrent players, juiced up over bananas? Well, bananas. Let me explain.

See, there’s a marketplace on steam where you can sell items that you may have acquired while playing any one of your games. And if you’re like me, these items just sit and grow dust. I’m gonna pull a boomer card here, and honestly say I have no idea how the marketplace system works. All I know is that you can sell some shit to make some extra cash.

So when it comes to this Banana game, people are literally collecting copious amounts of them and operating like these nanners are the new “buy low, sell high” financial scheme.

Now if you play Banana long enough, you could get yourself a platinum banana, and oh boy, people are going crazy for that right now.

You’re thinking to yourself, “this all sounds like a giant scam, Tyler”. Well, apparently this is all legit. No blockchain, no nothing. Just bananas.

If you’re looking for something to burn some time, you can get your mits on Banana for the low low price of FREE. Go ahead, give it a whirl. Embrace your inner Gwen Stafani. We won’t judge.

Move Over Smartphones

What can make your smartphone look like a dumb phone? The IntelliPhone.

Smartphones have had their hay day but a new sheriff is in town.

A new category of phones that will actually understand what you’re looking at and use context clues to help you find the correct information and utilizing the power of AI to assist better.

Sort of like how Google Maps already knows if you’re looking for a McDonalds, to direct you to the ones closest to you unless otherwise specified.

The more realistic the idea of having a “pocket pal” isn’t foreign. After all, we’re more attached to our phones than we are to our wallets.

So this is an exciting time… I mean, there hasn’t been much change between smartphones besides a few more pixels, battery life or speed in ages. This is going to be one of the biggest opportunities for companies to spice things up and recreate the smartphone and to discover the potential of mobile AI.

Unfortunately, privacy is difficult to come by these days and it will only get worse but on the bright side, you won’t have to teach your assistant anything, it’ll already truly know you.

Although this new class of phone is currently a fart in the wind, according to Bank of America, some of the potential capabilities of the new IntelliPhones are: context awareness, proactive suggestions, object recognition, real-time translation, health alerts, AI driven content creation, music haptics, voice shortcuts and more.

⌛️ Throwback Thursday

A little blast from the past.

Computers used to look like this. If this hit the shelves tomorrow, I’m clearing house.

🤗 Daily Delight

Just something fun and interesting around the web.

I’ve got no idea what they’re saying, but pray for that motherboard. It never stood a chance…

What’s happening inside the Realm

A list of side quests to explore and more.

•  🚀 OpenAI just announced they’re already working on their “next frontier model”. Holy guacamole, these guys are moving at lightspeed.

• 🧃 It’s looking like the data centers in the US are getting thirstier and by 2030 will be sucking up 9% of all electricity produced.

• 💰️ If you’re in the market for electric bikes, you may want to hold out. It’s looking like these borderline mopeds are gonna be getting a big price increase.

• 📽️ The videogame, Just Cause, is finally getting a movie after 20 years, but we’re not sure the big screen can handle such chaos. Hopefully, we’ll be proven wrong.

That’s all the quests we have for today. Check back tomorrow for more!
