Release Party of 旋回 / OVERFALL, Deep Blue / Deey & Leo Iwamura
To celebrate the release of OVERFALL's first album, Swirling, a release party will be held on Saturday, July 12, at nightclub solfa. The event also serves as the release of Deep Blue, a joint album by OVERFALL member Leo Iwamura and Okinawan rapper Deey. The music group OVERFALL arose in Tokyo when producers Leo Iwamura and ShinyAppLe connected over their love of early 1970s jazz. They soon enlisted bassist Daisuke Kazaoka, who brings reggae and dub influences to the mix. The members handle all aspects of the production, fusing Ableton-driven beat-making with live guitar, keys and other instruments. Their 2023 single Goldrush drew attention to itself and were picked up by Spotify's Mellow Beats playlist, and has racked up over 600,000 plays. In the wake of that success, OVERFALL has taken its show abroad–performing in Bangkok, Austin and Los Angeles; steadily building an international audience. It's possible to reserve tickets through this link.

ChatGPT Just Got 'Absolutely Wrecked' at Chess, Losing to a 1970s-Era Atari 2600
OpenAI's ChatGPT has some major AI chatbot competitors in the market: Gemini, Copilot, Claude. Now add to that list the Atari 2600. The OG video game console, which was first released in 1977, was used in an engineer's experiment to see how it would fare playing chess against the AI chatbot. By using a software emulator to run Atari's 1979 game Video Chess, Citrix engineer Robert Caruso said he was able to set up a match between ChatGPT and the 46-year-old game. The matchup did not go well for ChatGPT. "ChatGPT confused rooks for bishops, missed pawn forks and repeatedly lost track of where pieces were -- first blaming the Atari icons as too abstract, then faring no better even after switching to standard chess notations," Caruso wrote in a LinkedIn post. "It made enough blunders to get laughed out of a 3rd-grade chess club," Caruso said. "ChatGPT got absolutely wrecked at the beginner level." Caruso wrote that the 90-minute match continued badly and that the AI chatbot repeatedly requested that the match start over. For decades, the ability for computers to defeat humans at chess has been a measure of their power. In 1997, IBM made headlines when its Deep Blue technology defeated chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov in a series of matches. Caruso's experiment doesn't mean ChatGPT is useless for chess, but because it's more of a language model than a supercomputer, it's less likely to serve that purpose well. A few years ago, a developer created a ChatGPT plugin called ChessGPT. But it may be better to discuss chess with OpenAI's chatbot than to try to play against it. A representative for OpenAI did not immediately return a request for comment. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis, CNET's parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.)

World's biggest shark heads for tourist beach as 14ft monster on the move
The staggering 14ft great white shark, named Contender, went off radar for nearly a month until last week when it surfaced off Pamlico Sound in North Carolina, US The largest ever 14ft great white shark is on the move towards a popular tourist hotspot, according to scientists. The shark, named Contender, was tagged in the North Atlantic by OCEARCH in January, a non-profit organisation that conducts research on large marine animals, 45 miles off the Florida-Georgia coast, off Jacksonville. And after going off the radar for nearly a month - the tracker only transmits locating signal when the shark's dorsal fin is briefly exposed above the water's surface - last week (June 7) it surfaced north, off Pamlico Sound in North Carolina. The beast appears to have made a dart for the north over the last few weeks. Measuring around 1,653lbs, Contender is estimated to be around 30 years old. This stopover is believed to be a critical feeding period, allowing him to build energy reserves, for what may be a journey of 1,000 miles or more. The great white was first spotted around 45 miles off the Florida-Georgia border on January 17. The 14ft shark was later spotted on February 12, having swam further along the Florida coastline. According to conservationists at OCEARCH, Contender is thought to weigh around 1,653lb, around the same as an adult bear and a small car. OCEARCH said it has now deployed a SPOT tracker on the shark so it can monitor his activities. The shark trackers said that over the next five years they will be able to gain 'valuable real-time data' about Contender's migration patterns and behaviour. An OCEARCH spokesman previously said: 'On January 27 of 2025 our team encountered this massive Apex predator 45 miles off the Florida-Georgia coast. At nearly 14ft-long and tipping the scales at 1,653lb, Contender is a true ocean giant.' The shark trackers said they also collected 'important biological samples, including urogenital material' that is now being analysed. They say Contender is named after the company that provides boats for its research missions. Meanwhile, the largest female great white shark is estimated to measure around 20ft. Named Deep Blue, she is thought to weigh around 4,400 lb. The shark was first spotted in Mexico by researcher Mauricio Hoyos Padilla. Witnesses said Deep Blue was calm and non-aggressive around both humans and dolphins. Another shark, Haole Girl, is also said to measure a similar size and weight to Deep Blue, but was spotted in Hawaii. Like Deep Blue, she is said to be calm around humans and dolphins, even being recorded surrounded by divers.

AI Insider Blows the Lid Off Musk's Secret AI Operation
BALTIMORE, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A mysterious AI complex in Memphis is now being called the most powerful system of its kind — and it wasn't supposed to be public knowledge. In a newly released briefing, bestselling author and tech expert James Altucher reveals the details of a covert AI operation led by Elon Musk that, until now, has gone almost entirely unreported. Known as Project Colossus, the facility was built by Musk's AI company, xAI, and is allegedly housing the highest-density AI computing power in the Western Hemisphere. 'The AI Mothership' Altucher says the project has quietly surpassed every major tech firm in the race for AI dominance — including OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, and even Nvidia. 'Elon Musk has created the AI mothership… an innovation of such enormous proportion… that he has already surpassed all the leading AI developers.' He adds that the complex is powered by 200,000 high-performance AI chips — and growing. 'Making it the most advanced AI facility known to man.' Buried in a Warehouse. Unleashed by Policy. According to Altucher, the project only became possible after a specific presidential action early in Trump's second term. 'In one of his FIRST acts as President… Donald Trump overturned Executive Order #14110.' That order had previously restricted advanced AI development in the name of safety and oversight. Its removal, Altucher says, opened the floodgates. Not a Tool. A Turning Point. Altucher warns that this isn't just about AI doing tasks faster. This is a leap into self-operating systems that think, react, and solve. 'AI 2.0… gives that knowledge to intelligent machines that I believe will solve our problems for us.' He claims a major update to Colossus — scheduled before July 1 — could mark the moment America enters a new technological era. About James Altucher James Altucher is a computer scientist, entrepreneur, and bestselling author with four decades of experience in artificial intelligence and innovation. His past work includes contributions to IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer and the early development of AI-driven market systems. His recent briefings focus on the intersection of AI, secrecy, and national acceleration.
