Wellness shots tend to woo you with their aesthetic labels, fancy ingredient lists full of “superfoods” and powders, and promised benefits: a quick detox, a midday energy boost, an immunity kick, or even just a little mood lift. Each bottle has a goal, and with so many options out there, it can feel overwhelming to pick the right one for your day.The trick is matching the shot to your mood. Some mornings you need a jolt to wake up, other days you’re looking for something creamy and indulgent, and sometimes all you want is a vitamin-packed boost to fend off…

Mike Winkelmann, the digital artist known as Beeple, has placed himself at the center of the pack — literally — with his latest viral installation at Art Basel Miami Beach, and there’s still time to see it through Sunday. His “Regular Animals” project features $100,000 robotic dogs outfitted with hyper-realistic heads resembling Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos, alongside art legends Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol. The robot dogs roam a plexiglass pen, capturing images through chest-mounted cameras that are processed by AI and then essentially pooped out, according to the WSJ. Of the prints produced, 256 include QR…

I watch 100% of my YouTube videos on TV, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. YouTube is rapidly replacing traditional TV, and it’s easy to see why—the app comes pre-installed on most Smart TVs, and with all kinds of high-quality videos being produced by independent creators, TV is the proper way to enjoy them. However, when I first started using the YouTube app on TV, a lot of features seemed to be missing, features that were available on the mobile app, or so I thought. But as I got used to the interface, I found ways to make…

Why It Works Toasting the almond flour enhances its nutty flavor. Rubbing the seeds of a vanilla bean into both the dough and the sugar for dusting gives the cookies a sweet, floral flavor.  You know it’s Weihnachtszeit—Christmas time—when the cookie-making operation kicks off at my Viennese mother-in-law’s cozy house in Upstate New York. With snow falling outside and German holiday music playing, the entire family huddles together in the kitchen to make batches and batches of vanillekipferl—delightfully rich and buttery Austrian crescent cookies—for their loved ones. The cookies have a distinct nuttiness and a melt-in-your-mouth crumb, and are an essential…

Cloudflare has blocked 416 billion AI bot requests for customers since July 1, according to CEO Matthew Prince. To highlight Google’s massive edge in AI, Prince revealed that Google can see 3.2x more pages on the web than OpenAI. Why we care. Generative AI systems are consuming huge amounts of web content, and many publishers have no way to push back. Cloudflare’s numbers show how aggressively AI bots are scraping the web – and how uneven access is for the big AI companies. Driving the news. Cloudflare customers have been automatically blocking AI crawlers since the company launched its pay-per-crawl…

First, influencers shared affiliate links in their bios. Then they moved to third-party platforms like LTK and ShopMy, building mini shopping hubs of their own. Creator storefronts take that idea even further. These storefronts give influencers space on a brand’s site to highlight products they genuinely use, and to earn from the sales they drive. They also close a major attribution gap for brands. Everything sits on the brand’s own site, so attribution, conversion data and creator performance live in one system instead of several external tools. But how could these creator storefronts impact your current influencer workflows and what…

TV streamer Roku recently announced it’s ending Photo Streams in early 2026 and replacing it with something called Backdrops, which limits personal photo options but includes a library of artwork to cull from.The transition from Photo Streams to Backdrops is already underway. “Over the next few months, you’ll start seeing messages about Photo Streams moving to Backdrops,” Roku announced on their website. “At the end of January 2026, Photo Streams will stop working and only display a message directing you to open Backdrops.”Photo Streams currently operates as a screensaver for users who set it up, filling in inactive screen time…

What’s happened? As reported by Chosun Media, Samsung has officially reorganized part of its semiconductor arm and formed a dedicated Custom SoC Development Team. This marks a shift away from simply licensing standard ARM CPU cores. Instead, Samsung is now investing in building its own chip architecture, covering CPU cores, AI/Neural units, and system-on-chip (SoC) design. This move is meant to bring Samsung on par with companies like Apple and Qualcomm, which have long pushed custom-silicon strategies. The new team sits under Samsung’s System LSI division, with SoC veteran Park Bong‑il tapped to lead the effort. Until now, Samsung has…

arXiv:2512.04988v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As artificial intelligence (AI) agents are deployed across economic domains, understanding their strategic behavior and market-level impact becomes critical. This paper puts forward a groundbreaking new framework that is the first to capture the real-world economic forces that shape agentic labor markets: adverse selection, moral hazard, and reputation dynamics. Our framework encapsulates three core capabilities that successful LLM-agents will need: \textbf{metacognition} (accurate self-assessment of skills), \textbf{competitive awareness} (modeling rivals and market dynamics), and \textbf{long-horizon strategic planning}. We illustrate our framework through a tractable simulated gig economy where agentic Large Language Models (LLMs) compete for jobs,…

Populating a single one-gigawatt AI facility costs nearly $80 billionPlanned AI capacity across the industry could total 100GWHigh-end GPU hardware must be replaced every five years without extensionIBM chief executive Arvind Krishna questions whether the current pace and scale of AI data center expansion can ever remain financially sustainable under existing assumptions.He estimates that populating a single 1GW site with compute hardware now approaches $80 billion.With public and private plans indicating close to 100GW of future capacity aimed at advanced model training, the implied financial exposure rises toward $8 trillion.
