Titan: No Global Ocean After All—Slushy Ice and Warm Pockets Rework Its Interior

A 2025 Nature reanalysis of Cassini radio data finds Titan’s tidal lag of about 15 hours implies energy dissipation too large for a global subsurface ocean, instead suggesting a thick, high‑pressure ice layer with slush and pockets of warm water. The result reshapes the search for life beyond Earth and keeps Titan’s interior open to future tests, such as seismic measurements from the Dragonfly mission, while debates over the exact k2 values continue.

TIDAL to Tag AI-Created Tracks and Withhold Royalties

TIDAL unveiled an AI policy that will automatically tag fully AI-generated tracks in its app and block royalties for those releases, while allowing AI-created music that meets its standards. The policy also forbids AI works that impersonate artists or involve fraud and requires distributors to flag AI content before it reaches the platform; a consumer AI badge will appear on qualifying tracks and the tagging will expand as detection improves. The demonetization takes effect mid-July, following similar actions by Deezer, Qobuz, Apple Music and Spotify to curb AI-driven fraud and ensure royalties go to original human-created works.

Block Employees Silenced on Jay-Z Amid Layoffs

Block employees have been instructed not to discuss board member Jay-Z internally, amid recent layoffs at the company. The directive comes as Block, led by CEO Jack Dorsey, undergoes restructuring, including layoffs at Tidal and other divisions like Square and TBD. The order coincides with questions about Jay-Z's board role, given his friendship with Sean Combs, who faces serious legal charges. Dorsey also addressed staff in a meeting, urging positivity and restricting anonymous questions.

Spotify's New HiFi Audio: Is It Worth the Upgrade?

Spotify's New HiFi Audio: Is It Worth the Upgrade?

Spotify is set to launch a HiFi music streaming tier, but most people won't hear any difference between regular and lossless music. The average music fan, especially on a streaming service, enjoys their music on the go, listening to it on relatively cheap earbuds and headphones. Lossless is little more than a marketing gimmick, and the trick is to find the music-streaming service you like the sound of because the differences in how they master and stream their songs will be a lot bigger than the difference between lossy and lossless streaming.

Twitter Faces $550 Million in Lawsuits Over Copyright Infringement and Jack Dorsey's Extravagant Bar Tab.

A lawsuit brought by Block shareholders against Jack Dorsey alleged that his acquisition of Tidal, Jay-Z's music streaming service, was nothing more than a "$300 million bar tab to hang out with Jay-Z." The claim was that the idea for Block's acquisition of Tidal came while Dorsey was "summering" with Jay-Z in the Hamptons. The recent legal battle ended in defeat for shareholders, with the Delaware judge overseeing the case ruling against them, leaving Block and Dorsey in the clear, despite the deal being branded as "a $300 million bar tab to hang out with Jay-Z."

Judge upholds Block's right to make "terrible" business decisions, dismisses lawsuits over Tidal purchase.

A chancery court judge has dismissed a shareholder lawsuit against Jack Dorsey's fintech company, Block, for its 2021 decision to buy music streaming app Tidal, despite the judge calling the decision "terrible." The judge ruled that a board of directors comprised of a majority of disinterested and independent directors is free to make a terrible business decision without any meaningful threat of liability, as long as the directors approve the action in good faith. Shareholders from the Coral Springs Police Officers' Pension Plan had tried to sue Dorsey and Block for the purchase.

Lawsuit over Block's purchase of Tidal dismissed by judge.

A shareholder class action lawsuit against Jack Dorsey and other board members at Block Inc over the company's purchase of Jay-Z's streaming service Tidal has been dismissed by a Delaware judge. The judge said the Florida pension fund leading the case did not show that Block's directors acted in bad faith, although the purchase was a "terrible business decision." Block agreed in March 2021 to pay $306m for an 87.5% stake in Tidal, which was losing money, had lost major contracts, faced a Norwegian criminal probe into its streaming numbers, and had accepted a $50m loan from Jay-Z to shore up its finances.
