Barbie has worn a black-and-white one-piece swimsuit, a pink dress, and a silver space suit—and now, thanks to a new collaboration, she can wear the Reebok Angel Reese 1, too. Mattel unveiled a new doll inspired by professional basketball player Angel Reese, a forward for the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, featuring a Barbie-pink uniform with the player’s number 5, as well as a miniature pair of pink Reebok Angel Reese 1 sneakers.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang wants other AI leaders to quit the doomerism. “The fact that [AI] is going to be the end of humanity—it’s complete nonsense,” Huang told Axios in an interview published Thursday. “The fact that this is going to destroy half of the American jobs is complete nonsense.” In the interview, Huang said that some of his fellow tech CEOs are scaring the masses by emphasizing AI’s potential catastrophic risks. He emphasized that scaring away workers and companies from using AI is harmful. “The most important thing that we have to do with AI is not to scare…
Asking the internet for advice can be a dicey game: Users can either be helpful or take the chance to make a joke of it all—as the European Central Bank (ECB) has come to find out. The financial institution, which oversees banknotes in the European Union, unveiled on July 23 the new design proposals for the next generation of euro banknotes. In an effort to make the decision process more collaborative, the ECB reached out to users on social media, releasing a survey for users to pick their favorite designs. While American banknotes are known for their distinctly muted color…

A coalition of governors and attorneys general is suing the Trump administration, arguing that the federal government wants to strong-arm Democratic states into complying with some of its most controversial policy changes yet. The lawsuit, filed in a Rhode Island federal court, alleges that the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency are illegally withholding billions of dollars due to states for emergency funding in order to “coerce” them into enforcing its immigration policies and making last-minute changes to how they run elections. “President Trump has little support for both his mass deportation agenda and his baseless…
Twenty-six employees at Meta who were recently laid off made a bold claim in a lawsuit last week: They alleged the company had used AI to select people for layoffs, disproportionately impacting people who had taken leave or those with disabilities. The lawsuit identified a number of factors that the plaintiffs claimed had influenced the layoff selection process, from an internal AI assistant to dashboards that tallied employees’ AI token usage. The judge in the case asked the company to explain its decision to terminate four of the plaintiffs whose immigration status was at risk, after denying the plaintiffs a…
For years, economists have predicted that artificial intelligence would hollow out the labor market. Machines would write the code, analyze the contracts, draft the emails, and automate the work that once defined white-collar status. What would remain, they argued, would be the human skills that machines can’t replicate: caregiving, teaching, coaching, mentoring, relationship-building. That sounds, at first glance, like a victory for women. After all, women dominate many of those professions. Women are the teachers, nurses, therapists, caregivers, social workers, wellness practitioners, and community builders who have long carried the emotional infrastructure of society. If AI makes relational work more…
Somewhere right now, an employee is getting an automated flag for spending too long away from their keyboard. Another is being scored on keystroke volume. And another is having their Slack tone analyzed by an algorithm to determine whether they are a retention risk. None of this is science fiction. It is a normal day at a growing number of companies, and it is making everything worse. I have spent more than 15 years researching workplace culture and employee well-being, and what I am watching unfold with AI-powered surveillance is one of the most self-defeating trends in modern management. The…
When it comes to driving, most of us want to get to our destination as quickly (and safely) as possible. After all, given how bad sitting behind the wheel is for your health, who wants to be in a car any longer than they have to be? Most of us might expect that, when it comes to getting directions, the world’s two biggest mapping apps, Google Maps and Apple Maps, would show us the route that gets us there as fast as possible. But that’s not always the case. Here’s how to make Google Maps and Apple Maps show you…
It really is phenomenal how easy it is to edit photos these days. And yet, for all the mind-blowing photo-enhancing options in front of us, one seemingly simple feat is oddly out of reach—and that’s editing multiple images together, in bulk, and applying the same adjustments to a bunch of images at the same time. Google Photos may be the gold standard for easy and effective image editing, but it’s somehow still lacking that one capability. Today, I’ve got a brand new Photos-enhancing power-up for you that fixes that, once and for all—while also adding in the overdue ability to…
