The Celebrity Look-Alike Contest Boom

November 21, 2024

Listen–1.0x+ 0:005:11 Produced by ElevenLabs and News Over Audio (Noa) using AI narration. Listen to more stories on the Noa app. The fad began with a Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest in New York City on a beautiful day last month. Thousands of people came and caused a ruckus. At least one of the Timothées was among the four people arrested by New York City police. Eventually, the real Timothée Chalamet showed up to take pictures with fans. The event,...

If Trump Actually Goes Through With His...

November 21, 2024

“The only question is how high prices will go.” Mean Grocer President-elect Donald Trump successfully campaigned on lowering prices, especially at the supermarket. But this could be impossible to achieve if he wants to deliver on his other big promise: the mass deportation of millions of immigrants. As farmers and economists warn, carrying out this brutal policy would almost certainly cause food prices to skyrocket, CNN reports. The ugly truth of the matter is that the US agricultural industry...

Carolyn Beatrice Parker’s Work on the Manhattan...

November 21, 2024

Carolyn Beatrice Parker came from a family of doctors and academics, and she worked during World War II as a physicist on the Dayton Project, a critical part of the Manhattan Project tasked with producing polonium. (Polonium is a radioactive metal that was used in early nuclear weapons.) After the war, she continued her research and, a few years later, resumed her studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. But she died of leukemia at age 48 before she...

Inside Gap’s Blueprint for Reaching Gen Z...

November 21, 2024

Gap is trying to stay relevant with Gen Z. In May, Fabiola Torres was hired as Gap’s first global CMO in two years. She’s a former Pepsi marketing exec tasked with turning around Gap’s sales and re-establishing the strong tie to culture that Gap had in the ’90s. Much of the marketing strategy focuses on Gen Z and creators. Gap’s recent holiday campaign is the first to launch under her leadership and features young talent like Liamani Segura and...

Photos Show Kim Kardashian Holding Hands With...

November 21, 2024

International celebrity Kim Kardashian has shared a strange series of pictures showing her hanging out — and engaging in just a touch of PDA — with a Tesla Optimus humanoid robot sitting inside a Cybercab. The provocative series of photos, clearly intended to market her shapewear line, didn’t quite hit the mark with her audience on Instagram. “This is so weird,” the top comment reads. A short video shows her waving at the robot and forming the shape of...

When Did Human Ancestors Start Using Tools?

November 21, 2024

We humans are nothing if not inventive. Our innovations have come to underpin virtually every facet of daily life—from what we eat to how we communicate. This ingenuity is intrinsically linked to both our outsize brain and our hands, which are remarkably dexterous compared with those of other primates. Paleoanthropologists have long sought the origins of human technological innovation. The famous Lucy fossil, discovered 50 years ago this month, ushered in a new understanding of this hallmark of humankind....

If You Take Adderall, RFK Jr. Should...

November 21, 2024

Image by Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has a lot of dangerous opinions about healthcare — and his comments about drugs, addiction, and rehabilitation should give anybody pause, perhaps especially if they rely on an Adderall prescription. Earlier this year, Mother Jones spotted a bizarre claim the former presidential candidate made about so-called “wellness camps” for people taking the ADHD treatment and other common...

Is Silicon Valley Actually Libertarian?

November 21, 2024

It’s long been believed that Silicon Valley is a hotbed for libertarian ideals, but where did that idea come from? Aside from some high-profile tech founders and investors who either identify as libertarian or express libertarianesque beliefs, does this set of ideologies really define the Valley? And what is libertarianism anyway? You can follow Michael Calore on Mastodon at @snackfight, Lauren Goode on Threads and @laurengoode, and Zoë Schiffer on Threads @reporterzoe.

Relevant! Relevant! Relevant! At 50, Microsoft Is...

November 21, 2024

Jaime Teevan joined Microsoft before it was cool again. In 2006, she was completing her doctorate in artificial intelligence at MIT. She had many options but was drawn to the company’s respected, somewhat ivory-tower-ish research division. Teevan remained at Microsoft while the mother ship blundered its way through the mobile era. Then, as the calendar flipped into the 2010s, an earth-shattering tech advance emerged. A method of artificial intelligence called deep learning was proving to be a powerful enhancement...

The AI Reporter That Took My Old...

November 21, 2024

James and Rose, the bizarre AI bots who were recently installed as news broadcasters at local Hawaii paper The Garden Island, have been terminated. Employee retention is always a bit of a problem at local newspapers, and The Garden Island newspaper on the Hawaiian island of Kauai is no exception. Many reporters—usually mainland transplants like myself—would stick around for just a couple years before moving on, and some only lasted months. After a two-month run, James and Rose have...

Selling Chrome Won’t Be Enough to End...

November 21, 2024

To dismantle Google’s illegal monopoly over how Americans search the web, the US Department of Justice wants the tech giant to end its lucrative partnership with Apple, share a trove of proprietary data with competitors and advertisers, and “promptly and fully divest Chrome,” Google’s search engine that controls over half of the US market. The government wants Google to sell Chrome to a buyer it approves, arguing the divesture would “pry open the monopolized markets to competition, remove barriers...

Nvidia Says Its Blackwell Chip Is Fine,...

November 20, 2024

Chip giant Nvidia reported its third-quarter earnings earlier today, and all ears—and presumably some watch parties—were tuned in to try to determine what the company’s performance might mean for the near future of the artificial intelligence industry as a whole. The fate of the company’s newest AI chip, Blackwell, was a major focus after production issues caused shipments to be delayed for several months earlier this year. On Sunday, The Information also reported that Blackwell chips were overheating when...

Reality check on technologies to remove carbon...

November 20, 2024

In 2015, 195 nations plus the European Union signed the Paris Agreement and pledged to undertake plans designed to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Yet in 2023, the world exceeded that target for most, if not all of, the year — calling into question the long-term feasibility of achieving that target. To do so, the world must reduce the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and strategies for achieving levels that will “stabilize the...

November 20, 2024

Media are invited to learn about a unique series of flight tests happening in Virginia in partnership between NASA and GE Aerospace that aim to help the aviation industry better understand contrails and their impact on the Earth’s climate. Contrails are the lines of clouds that can be created by high-flying aircraft, but they may have an unseen effect on the planet – trapping heat in the atmosphere. The media event will occur from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. on Monday,...
