Apple kicked off WWDC two thousand twenty-six with Tim Cook promising technologies that push the limits of what's possible — but the centerpiece, a rebuilt Siri the company is calling Siri AI, looked less like a leap forward and more like a long-overdue catch-up after years of neglect and broken promises.

Meanwhile, in a Mississippi federal courtroom, a judge made a striking decision after discovering that lawyers on both sides of a case had been using generative AI to build their arguments — effectively letting the tools fight each other. The judge canceled the trial entirely, removed all counsel, and issued a sharp sanctions order calling it a prime example of rampant unverified AI usage in the legal field.

And on a lighter note, Nintendo Switch two owners have a date to circle — Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave arrives September seventeenth, adding yet another major title to what is shaping up to be a genuinely stacked fall release window for the new console.

Those are the stories worth watching today. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
