Crypto had a rough week while the broader market quietly celebrated. Ether dropped eight percent, and memecoins like Dogecoin fell even harder. The story here isn't just losses — it's a rotation. Investors pulled toward AI stocks, lifting the equal-weight S&P five hundred to a record, leaving digital assets largely behind.

Speaking of AI, that same wave of enthusiasm is creating serious headaches for security teams. Researchers are warning of a messy summer ahead, as AI tools surface vulnerabilities in open source code faster than teams can patch them. A coalition of roughly two dozen companies is now pushing to make finding and fixing those bugs significantly more automated and less painful.

And on a lighter note, Halo is coming back — but not exactly as you remember it. The creative director of Halo Campaign Evolved says the remake blends all the original content with modern shooter features, crafted piece by piece to feel both familiar and accessible to a new generation of players.

Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
