HeyWhatsNew: Google Brings Reddit Into AI Search Overviews, and GTA 6 Fans Use Planetary Patterns to Predict Trailer 3
Hello, Heyuppers! It’s been a busy week in tech and gaming, so we’ve rounded up the biggest highlights you may have missed, starting from 03/05/2026.
Apple to Pay iPhone Users in AI Siri Settlement
Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class action lawsuit accusing the company of misleading customers about the availability of Apple Intelligence features on the iPhone 16 lineup and iPhone 15 Pro models. US customers who bought eligible devices between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, may receive around $25 per device, with payouts potentially reaching up to $95 depending on the number of claims submitted.
The lawsuit argued that Apple’s marketing created expectations that advanced AI features, including a more personalized Siri, would be available at launch. However, many features were delayed and rolled out gradually after release. Apple denied wrongdoing but said it settled the case to stay focused on developing innovative products and services.
Google’s AI Search Now Pulls Answers From Reddit and Forums
Google is updating its AI-powered Search experience by adding quotes and insights from Reddit, blogs, forums, and social media discussions directly into AI Overviews. The update also adds extra context to links, including creator names, handles, and community sources, helping users decide which discussions are worth exploring further.
The change aims to make search results feel more human and useful for niche questions, but it also raises concerns about misinformation and AI accuracy. While Google says AI Overviews have improved, the feature has previously gone viral for incorrect answers pulled from unreliable or sarcastic posts. Google recommends users explore multiple sources, especially since AI-generated responses can still hallucinate or misinterpret information.
Anthropic Teams Up With SpaceX for Massive AI Compute Expansion
Anthropic has signed a major deal with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to use the full compute capacity of the Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee. The agreement gives Anthropic access to more than 300 megawatts of compute power to support growing demand for its Claude AI models, particularly for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers. The companies are also exploring future plans to develop AI compute infrastructure in space.
The partnership is notable because Musk has previously criticized Anthropic publicly, calling the company “misanthropic” earlier this year. However, Musk recently said he was impressed after meeting with Anthropic’s leadership team. The deal comes as Anthropic faces increasing infrastructure strain from rapid growth and continues expanding its AI partnerships, including a multibillion-dollar agreement with Amazon.
GTA 6 Fans Turn to Planetary Science to Predict Trailer 3
A dedicated GTA 6 fan has gone viral after spending three months analyzing planetary positions to predict when Rockstar Games will release Trailer 3. The Reddit user studied the timing of previous Rockstar trailers dating back to 2007, comparing planetary alignments and astronomical patterns to past announcement dates.
Based on the research, the fan believes GTA 6 Trailer 3 will release on May 14, 2026, at 11AM EDT. While the theory is far from scientific proof, it highlights just how eager fans are for new GTA 6 content as Rockstar prepares for the game’s November launch.
Nintendo May Raise Switch 2 Prices Amid Market Pressure
Nintendo is reportedly facing pressure from investors to increase the price of the Switch 2 due to rising production and market costs. The console launched at $449, but ongoing tariffs, AI-related memory shortages, and global economic instability have already pushed up prices for competing systems like the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Despite strong sales and major successes like Pokemon Pokopia and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo’s stock has reportedly been declining over the last five months. Investors are hoping for a price increase announcement during the company’s upcoming earnings report, though concerns remain that raising the price too early could slow the Switch 2’s momentum.
That’s all for this week, Heyuppers! Stay tuned for more updates, surprises, and must-know stories from the worlds of gaming, tech, and innovation next week.
