The greatest gift you could give me is not offloading every decision to robot predictors.
Roughly 42% of shoppers are already using A.I. tools for their holiday shopping, a recent survey found. More than half of Generation Z and millennial respondents said they trusted A.I. to recommend unique gifts. nyti.ms/4pocGQc
A.I. Can Do More of Your Shopping This Holiday Season
New tools and features from retailers and tech companies use artificial intelligence to help people find gifts and make decisions about their shopping lists.

I don't see how this can be true. Almost no one I know is still on it. Anecdotal I guess, but seriously like no one I know.
X is still used by 21% of U.S. adults, Pew found, only down from 23% in 2021, despite increased competition from Meta, startups, and decentralized social media.

Yes, this is truly the worst. When a car is slowly moving like they're going to enter a lane and I'm on a bike I basically must stop to make sure I'm not going to run into this car who may or may not see me.
Smart story.
A different thing – when people are in the crosswalk and a driver at a topped light keeps creeping slowly into the crosswalk? Like what? That extra 12-18 inches won't make your trip faster. But now a pedestrian has to worry if the driver will hit them.
Stop MENACING people walking!

Kind of a stunning video. RFK runs off like he's in danger. Trump stares, transfixed, motionless, as if contemplating something.

Two years ago, Dylan Gossett’s only live music experience was performing at open mic nights. All it took was one TikTok hit, and now the country singer is playing one of the biggest stages at Austin City Limits fest.

If Field of Dreams came out today the subtext would be about mental illness. More of a Take Shelter type film then a feel good america's pasttime flick.
A lot of people got convinced by the Field of Dreams message and mistakenly think every idea has a path to success (and forget that Field of Dreams involves, like, magic and shit). Expensive fried food is not a growth industry.
