Kai Cenat has broken records with his latest subathon. What does this mean for live streaming?

Kai Cenat reclaimed the title of most subscribed to Twitch streamer less than halfway through his planned month-long streaming marathon. Cenat launched his “Mafiathon 2” stream on Nov. 1, a “subathon” in which he continually streams a live video of himself, sometimes joined by guest stars including Lil Uzi Vert, Snoop Dogg and Serena Williams, to name a few. 

Just 11 days into his subathon, Cenat broke the all-time subscriber record by garnering 327,000 paid subscriptions (and

People are using Strava to create amazing street art

Strava, the fitness tracking app used by more than 120 million athletes around the world, is being used by a handful of hobbyists to create amazing works of art.

‘Speech should be open to all’: Bluesky COO Rose Wang on the platform’s radical vision for social media

Conceived of by Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey in 2019 and spun out of Twitter in 2022, just before Elon Musk took over, Bluesky came out of beta in February 2024 and found an eager, if relatively small audience. The social media platform—which, at first glance, looks remarkably similar to X—had amassed roughly 13 million users by the end of October. Then Donald Trump was reelected, with an assist from Elon Musk. Now, the site has more than

The future according to Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis used to get some of his most fulfilling work done between midnight and 3 a.m. A self-described “nocturnal person,” the Londoner devoted the solitude of his overnight shift to catching up on scientific papers, coming up with new ideas, and just plain thinking.
