Sergey Brin is the third richest person alive, worth roughly $240 billion, and he just took direct command of Gemini. He retired in 2019. He owns around 6% of a $3.9 trillion company. He could spend the next 40 years on a yacht without ever checking a price tag. Instead he's been at the office three to four days a week, in the weeds, writing code. Demis Hassabis confirmed it himself this year, "Sergey has been in the weeds, programming." The last time Brin was this hands-on, Google was running out of a garage in Menlo Park. And he fits a pattern. Zuck went founder mode on AI and reorganized all of Meta around superintelligence. Elon started xAI from scratch and built it into a frontier lab in two years. Now Brin, at 52, is personally running the model that decides whether Google wins the next 20 years. That tells you everything about the size of the prize. Smartphones, cloud, crypto, none of it pulled a retired founder back onto a product team. AI did it in under two years. A $240 billion man just gave himself a job. The AI war is fully on.

Man spent five hours filling his bucket with fish, until he woke up to find every single one gone. On May 20th, a man was fishing off a dock when he started having one of the best days he’d had in weeks. For hours, he kept pulling fish in and dropping them into his bucket, until it was almost full. Eventually, he got tired, sat back in his chair, and left his fishing line out just in case another fish bit while he rested. A little while later, he woke up and looked down. The bucket was empty. At first, he thought he was losing his mind. He knew he had caught fish. He remembered putting them in the bucket. But now there wasn’t a single one left. He started getting upset, thinking someone had taken them, until the dock camera footage finally showed what really happened. His dog had been quietly taking each fish from the bucket and dropping them into the water for a dolphin waiting beside the dock. The dog wasn’t stealing. He was feeding him. The man said he couldn’t even stay mad after seeing the video, because his dog does the same thing at home, whenever the baby cries, he tries to bring over pieces of his own kibble like he’s helping. He thought his fish had been stolen, but his dog had just found someone he thought needed them more.

🚨 🎙️Ronaldo Nazário on the controversial refereeing in Argentina vs Egypt; Interviewer: Ronaldo, what did you make of that dramatic comeback by Argentina today? Ronaldo Nazário: Look, Argentina are a very strong team with real champions’ mentality. To come back from 2-0 down like that shows quality and character — no doubt about it. But if we’re being honest, the refereeing had a big influence on how this game unfolded. If it was a different team playing against Egypt today, ask yourself if those decisions could have been different. Be honest with yourself and that’s all you need to know. Let’s go through them one by one. First, Egypt score on the counter — Zico finishes it brilliantly after Salah’s work. They celebrate, the momentum is with them, and then VAR steps in and disallows it for a so-called foul in the build-up. A soft little challenge on Martínez, nothing clear and obvious. In most games, that goal stands. Tonight it didn’t. Then the penalty awarded to Argentina. Marginal contact at best. You see those incidents week in, week out and they’re waved away. Here it was given. Messi missed it, okay, but the decision itself shifted the psychological balance when Egypt were in control. And it wasn’t just those two. Throughout the match, the consistency wasn’t there — fouls called one way, advantage not played at key moments, little things that add up. Egypt were fighting for something historic. They went 2-0 up with real quality and heart. With fair, consistent officiating, this match could easily have gone either way — and without all the controversy afterwards. Argentina showed they can win ugly, but football deserves better. The big calls shouldn’t feel like they’re protecting one side. Respect to Egypt — they played a great game and pushed the champions all the way. Interviewer: Strong words… Ronaldo Nazário: I say what I see. That’s it.

🇳🇴 Norway manager Stale Solbakken with a strong response to Folarin Balogun's red card being suspended: 🗣️ Solbakken: "It is a big mistake by FIFA. It is not a great conclusion. He got a red card and the VAR concluded that it was a red card. That means you are suspended for one game. I think what is really bad about that situation is, if the USA beat Belgium, they will always have that extra thing about it. The Belgians will be furious. What about the next red card? What happens there? Will some committee take it away? It’s a bad, bad, bad, bad decision that will hurt the World Cup and the United States."
