Hacker Newsroom for 07 June: SpaceX Index Block, Instagram AI Breach, Israeli Spying Alert, GrapheneOS Suspicion Trigger

Hacker Newsroom for 07 June recaps major Hacker News stories, moving through spacex index block, instagram ai breach, israeli spying alert, grapheneos suspicion trigger. 1. SpaceX Index Block The next story is Ars Technica's report that S&P Dow Jones refused to create a fast path into the S&P 500 for SpaceX, which also keeps the same door closed to unprofitable giants like OpenAI and Anthropic. The article says the index committee kept its existing profitability and float rules in place, so even a massive IPO would not automatically unlock billions from passive funds.

Instagram AI Breach The next story is about Meta confirming that more than twenty thousand Instagram accounts were hijacked after attackers abused an AI-assisted recovery flow to redirect password resets.

Google SpaceX Compute The next story is TechCrunch reporting that Google will pay SpaceX about nine hundred and twenty million dollars a month from October 2026 through June 2029 for access to roughly one hundred ten thousand GPUs and related compute hardware. The article frames it as bridge capacity for stronger-than-expected AI demand at Google and as another huge pre-IPO revenue line for SpaceX, with terms that reportedly let Google walk away if the promised capacity does not arrive on schedule.

HN Anti AI Debate The next story is an Ask HN post asking why Hacker News so often sounds anti-AI, and the thread quickly turns into a broader argument over whether the backlash is hostility or just hard-earned skepticism from people using these tools in production.
