The best cognitive health investment for most people is probably boring enough that it would never trend. Sleep. Movement. Real food. Meaningful relationships. The supplement market exists partly to make that boring truth feel insufficient.
What I want to know is whether Jaafar's own singing voice is in the film at all or if it is entirely Michael's original recordings.
The Michael movie review verdict is in, and it is more complicated than the 26% Rotten Tomatoes score suggests. Antoine Fuqua's long-delayed Michael Jackson biopic, simply titled Michael, hit theaters this weekend with Jaafar Jackson playing his late uncle, and the critical response has been brutal. The BBC gave it one star. Roger Ebert's site called it a filmed playlist in search of a story. Yet early audience reactions on social media have been warmer, ticket pre-sales suggest an $80 million opening, and Variety thought it worked as an engrossing middle-of-the-road biopic. After tracking coverage across more than a dozen outlets over the past 48 hours, I think the honest answer to "should you watch this?" depends almost entirely on what you want from a music biopic, and this guide breaks down exactly what the film delivers, what it skips, and who will actually enjoy sitting through its two-hour-and-nine-minute runtime.
The deepfake concern is real and I do not think the article addresses it seriously enough. Yes, they use paid actors and have consent protocols. But the same technology that makes your compliance video also makes synthetic propaganda, and that actor whose face ended up in Venezuelan government disinformation campaigns probably did not sign up for that.
The software development world just witnessed something unprecedented. A European startup called Lovable reached $20 million in annual recurring revenue in just two months, making it potentially the fastest-growing startup in European history. But here's the twist that's making traditional software agencies nervous: they did it by giving non-technical founders the power to build full-stack applications without writing a single line of code. For years, the promise of no-code tools has been the same: anyone can build an app. But the reality has always been different. You'd create a beautiful frontend, get excited about your progress, and then hit the technical cliff. Suddenly you needed to configure databases, set up authentication, manage API keys, and deploy to servers. The "no-code" dream became a "hire-a-developer-anyway" nightmare.
When a company's revenue jumps from $10 million to $100 million in nine months, you pay attention. When that growth comes from an AI agent that builds entire applications autonomously, you realize something fundamental just changed in software development. Replit Agent represents that change, and the numbers prove developers are ready for it. Replit started as a browser-based coding environment for education. Students could write Python or JavaScript without installing anything locally. Teachers loved it because setup time vanished. But the company saw something bigger. If you could run code in the browser, why not let AI write that code? That question led to Agent 3, an AI that doesn't just suggest code completions. It builds entire applications from scratch.
Revenue going from $2.8M to $150M annualized in about a year is actually more impressive than the $10M to $100M framing in the post. Those earlier numbers paint an even more dramatic picture of the transformation.
Can someone explain how the security actually works at scale though? Row-level security through Supabase sounds fine for an MVP but what about a production app with 50,000 users and sensitive data?
The AI video generation race just got a clear winner. Runway Gen-4.5 topped the Video Arena leaderboard with a 1,247 Elo score, surpassing both Google Veo 3 and OpenAI Sora 2. For those unfamiliar with Elo ratings, this is the same system used to rank chess players and competitive games. A higher score means more wins in head-to-head comparisons. When real users compare videos side by side without knowing which AI generated them, they consistently choose Runway's output. Runway didn't start as an enterprise video tool. It began as a playground for artists and filmmakers who wanted to experiment with AI-generated visuals. The early versions produced fascinating but inconsistent results. Sometimes you'd get stunning cinematic footage. Other times you'd get distorted motion and unrealistic physics. Gen-4.5 changed that equation by achieving breakthrough consistency in motion quality and physical accuracy.
As someone who works in cybersecurity professionally, Project Glasswing finding thousands of zero day vulnerabilities in weeks changes the entire threat landscape. The vulnerabilities were already there but now we have to assume adversaries can find them just as fast. Defense has to move at AI speed now.
Good point, though to be fair most end users do not interact with the chips at all. The interoperability question is more relevant at the developer and enterprise level, where running on different hardware backends can create real compatibility headaches.
To be fair, Instagram did add editable DMs back in 2024 so this is at least consistent. They are slowly working through the backlog of features other apps had ages ago.
Hot take, Anthropic restricting this to big tech is not safety, it is market positioning. They get to be the cautious heroes while simultaneously locking their most powerful tool inside a club that happens to include their biggest revenue partners.
A private dislike with no visible count is pointless. If I cannot see the ratio of likes to dislikes I have no useful information. That feature would just be a way for people to silently express displeasure without any accountability.
The article says instead of searching, users will ask. Instead of browsing, users will generate. That future already exists for a lot of people. The question is whether Meta becomes the place they do it or whether they just do it in whatever app is already winning.
Anthropic's revenue going from $9 billion to $30 billion run rate in just a few months is a staggering number. That kind of growth trajectory is exactly what makes the economics of custom silicon start to pencil out.
In a rare divergence from industry norms, TikTok has confirmed it will not adopt end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for direct messages, breaking with nearly every major social media platform and reigniting one of the tech industry's most contentious debates. The Chinese-owned video platform told the BBC exclusively that it believes the privacy technology championed by Meta, Apple, and others as essential for user protection actually makes users less safe by creating "dark spaces" where harmful content can flourish beyond the reach of safety teams and law enforcement. The decision puts TikTok in direct opposition to its competitors while potentially exposing the company to fresh criticism over data protection, particularly given ongoing concerns about its ties to Beijing.
The gold accessories complement everything so beautifully. I might try silver instead though, since that's what I usually wear.
