Substack is trying to court displaced TikTok creators

“We’re going to rescue the smart people from TikTok!” Substack CEO Chris Best wrote in a Note posted Monday.  

If you’ve been on your Substack newsfeed lately, you’ve likely seen the platform rolling out a warm welcome to TikTok users, as the days count down to a potential TikTok ban in the U.S. Just this week, Best annou

3 fintech predictions that will shape 2025

In a year defined by breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, you might think that all this incredible innovation has made its way into the hands of the people who need it most. But you’d be wrong.

Much of the world’s population lacks access to the financial services they need, despite having trillions of dollars in economic power. Being excluded from the legacy financial services industry means having to navigate their daily lives without access to

It’s time for Apple to press pause on its AI news summaries

Apple should shut off its AI summaries of news alerts until it can prevent them from spreading fake news. Anecdotes of iPhone users seeing weirdly phrased summaries of texts and other content are common. But getting news headlines wrong is another matter. Washington Post tech columnist Geoffrey Fowler is the latest to call out the problem. 

“[A]pple Intelligence is so bad that today it got every fac

Francouzi staví turbovrtulový motor na kapalný vodík pro lehké letouny

Francouzské společnosti Turbotech, Safran a Air Liquide spojily síly kvůli turbovrtulovému motoru na kapalný vodík. Motor, který je navržený pro lehké letouny, potřebuje důmyslný kryogenní systém, protože vodík je kapalný při teplotách pod mínus 253 °C. Pozemní testy byly úspěšné, časem by měl motor vzlétnout. http://www.osel.cz/13870-francouzi-stavi-turbovrtulovy-motor-na-kapalny-vodik-pro-lehke-letouny.html

5 things to know about TikTok replacement RedNote

Earlier this week, the Chinese app Xiaohongshu, known as RedNote, shot up to become the most-downloaded app on the Apple’s U.S. App Store, partly as a “joke’s on you” moment to the American government as well as the desire for a replacement app ahead of the in

‘Just reported my old landlord’: The internet is naming and shaming L.A. landlords for price gouging during the wildfires

Los Angeles landlords are being named and shamed in an online effort to combat illegal price gouging following Southern California’s historic wildfires.

Hinge will now use AI to grade your dating profile prompts

Hinge is releasing a new AI-powered coaching feature to help daters improve their profile prompt responses.

Prompts, which are icebreakers that can act as conversation starters, are a staple to many dating app profiles. But answers seem to have devolved, with users putting in the bare minimum like an emoji or a single word. As influencer Carly Weinstein pointed out on TikTok, a prompt tha

5 ways TikTok profoundly changed the culture

A lot has changed over the past six years. Seemingly every large media company now has a streaming service. An entire global pandemic happened, and continues to happen. We switched presidents, and then switched back. But one of the most transformative forces to arrive in that time, in the category of How We Live Now, is TikTok.

Although it first launched in 2016, TikTok only

The femosphere is the internet’s toxic women-focused answer to the manosphere

“Men should always do the chasing, women should seek financial contributions from men.” No, this is not dating advice from the 20th century—it’s appearing in online spaces like TikTok and Youtube, part of what researchers are now naming the femosphere. 

In a paper published in Feminist Media Studies earlier this year, Loughborough University professor Jilly Kay traced so-called f

Americans are using the Chinese Red Note app to express their frustration with the TikTok ban

The Supreme Court and the U.S. government seem hell-bent on pushing TikTok out of existence in the United States in the next week—at least unless its Chinese-based parent company, ByteDance, accedes to a fire sale to a suitable buyer based closer to home. But the curious rise of a competitor app up the App Store rankings in recent days highlights what exactly TikTok’s userbase makes of the ballyhooed “national security threat” Supreme

Tech CEOs are just postponing their Trump 2.0 reckoning

In Silicon Valley, a million bucks doesn’t exactly count as vast riches. Still, it’s a nice, round figure pregnant with symbolic value. And so it meant something when major tech companies and their leaders lined up to donate that amount to Donald Trump’s fund for his second inauguration.

Tech leaders face a fork in the AI road: Build or buy?

Recently, I was invited to speak on stage at Insight Partner’s ScaleUp:AI conference for a panel aptly titled “Build versus Buy.” It shouldn’t be a surprise that this was a topic of discussion; After all, build versus buy is the great AI debate raging in boardrooms right now—a proverbial fork in the road that may separate the winners and losers of the business world over the next five years.

Pomsta Šípkové Růženky: Rány do hlavy může probudit spící viry
