Tech Drama & News Recap for June 2025 😳

1. The entire X startup community was triggered as fk when they saw vibe coders doing text-to-$50k MRR from their phones during their elementary school breaks.

2. A16z published "RIP SEO". If you keep saying "tomorrow I'll die" one day you'll certainly right.

3. Sam adopts "the great artists steals". IYO claims OpenAI's Sam Altman heard their 2018 smart earbud pitch, passed, then copied it with Jony Ive's help, buying his company for $6.5B and naming it IO.

4. Zuck earned so much money from selling ads that he is paying $100M to anyone who moves from openai to meta (also they wanna buy Ilya, Runway & perplexity after buying ScaleAI)

5. Apple needs an indian CEO, so they're having acquisition talks with perplexity (is anyone still using perplexity?)

6. Real coders think it's below their status to touch vibe coding, so it was wrapped into CLIs to make it hot for them.

7. Jeff Bezos threw a $50B wedding because he can.

8. GPT5 will launch this summer, everyone gonna go bananas to later realize that LLMs won't really get much better than what we had for a while now, because the LLM lawyer is exhausted, so now it's all about the application layer.

9. Palantir finally justified its valuation in just 12 days, or not?

10. Mr Beast shuts down his AI Thumbnail startup cuz everyone says he steals bread from human thumbnail artists. Pieter Levels doesn't give a sh*t about decels and launches the same thing over breakfast.

11. Dyson is now growing strawberries with robots and kicks in the great automation era, where literally every such job will be automated using robots and AI.

12. Roy from Cluely needs his own social media, because literally every other tweet is somehow related to him right now. This dude is an embodiment of the new gold: the ability to go viral and win attention.

13. Every fu*king big&small tech product is pivoting into "AI Builder". Now, Airtable has entered the chat too.

14. AI companies now build their own browsers: perplexity, theBrowserCompany and most likely everyone else gonna join the party soon.

15. Karpathy had perhaps the best keynote of this decade on a YC startup school. (one of the commentats under his video "this dude probably never built anything with AI :DD)

16. All our passwords were stolen and leaked to the dark web, 134234th time.

17. Two bootstrapped companies were aqcuired by Unicorns with a 49 year earnout period. A shortcut from freedom to increasing shareholder value.

18. A bunch of kids have bigger MRR than you: 16yo dude running $10M company and 10yo kid going viral. I'm sorry, but most likely we're too old for this sh*t, must pivot into farming until it's not too late (i'm literally doing that).

19. The text-to-video is getting so good, my IG feed is occupied by viral AI models and I must admit, I prefer them over human models. I have very bad news for OF models, pivot into farming too, until it's not too late. Or wait, farming is being automated by Dyson...idk then.

20. It's been 1021 days since we were promised that vibe coding gonna take over, but it seems like those vibe coded apps are so good that founders dont share them publicly as their internal MOAT. Huge if True.

21. The marketing video game has stepped up like crazy, now we're expected to shoot a Tarantino level mini movies, after Roy(Cluely) vids.

22. The education has been revolutionaized: They merge hard topic (math) with boobs and every boy will be so obsessed with it. Tbh, I learned more math while watching that vid series with Sydnei Sweney than my entire math curriculum in the uni. U seen it?

23. VC flexed by saying "had a 3 figure founder flexing about his mrr" and was immidetly canceled. I'm sorry for him, he tried to win attention like all of us, but took it too far.

24. Vibe Valuing is a thing now: AI startups raised over a billion in the last 30 days so that those of us who missed the dotcom bubble burst could enjoy the AI bubble burst in about 2 years.

25. Jack Friks won everyone's hearts on X with his authentic profile, blessing from Levelsio and social media scheduler. Another famous maker entered the chat to clone his validated idea and outbid his users. Lets see who wins in this fight of 'authenticity' vs 'its-just-a-business'

26. A complete prompt that can vibe code entire chatgpt with one shot has been leaked and later removed from the internet. I still have a copy, reply "i want it" and I'll send it to you.

27. Elon's rocket blew up, making half of the US happy and the other half upset.

28. Peter Thiel realized he might be the very Antichrist he warned about, building Palantir with another dude who looks like an AI composite of every single CEO from a movie where the villain is an evil corporation.

29. Socialist that wants to jail billioners for making too much money and creatiing too much value is a mayor of New York, finally there will be a place where being poor is celebrated.

30. Anthropic tested Claude running a virtual business...relax..it failed just like most of us. Founders are safe.

31. University of Osaka researchers achieved “level-zero” magic-state distillation on June 27, 2025, reducing qubit overhead for quantum computers. I have no fking clue what it means, I bet you too, which means VCs gonna pour the money their way.

32. Pope Leo says the biggest sin one can commit is to replace humans with AI.
