Artificial intelligence is coming to Mozilla Firefox—but only for users who want it.

The standard approach to predicting AI’s impact on jobs involved building rankings based on how many of an occupation’s tasks could theoretically be handled by technology instead.

Today, opening statements will be heard in an Oakland, California, courtroom in a landmark trial that could determine whether Meta Platforms, owner of Facebook and Instagram, designed its social media platforms to addict younger users, despite the company being aware of the danger its social media platforms presented to mental health.

El Niño keeps getting stronger—and the intense weather it is set to bring could be a preview of our future in an even warmer world.

It may be game over for gamified token consumption. Tesla spent six months ranking its engineers on internal AI leaderboards by token usage, then thought better of it and capped employee AI spending at $200 per week. This should sound familiar. Uber, Meta, Amazon, Walmart, all reversed course in the same direction.

Over the past decade, we have gotten genuinely good at something difficult: finding remarkable entrepreneurs who use technology for good. We’ve built the prizes, the pipelines, the accelerators. What we haven’t cracked is harder: making their solutions truly stick.

The most disciplined executives I’ve trained have something in common: they stopped relying on discipline. They know that willpower is the least reliable resource in their arsenal—the same reason they don’t run their P&L on individual heroics, or their pipeline on hoping sales reps stay motivated.

I’ve been programming for about 40 years. Lately, I’ve started creating new programs between meetings. The difference is that I can now hand much of the mechanical work to an AI coding tool, then spend my time fixing the interesting parts.

Coresight Research has released its latest report on retail store openings and closings in the United States.

Beige probably rules your room. At least, that’s what a new data visualization reveals.

A billboard outside the Trump Superstore west of Knoxville, Tennessee, reads “Going Out of Business” and promotes 50% off everything storewide. Inside, President Donald Trump’s shrinking fan base can now snag Trump- and America-themed hats, shirts, and other memorabilia at half-price before the owner closes up shop.

Electricity prices keep rising in the U.S. Last year, home electric bills surged at more than twice the rate of inflation. By 2030, by one estimate, residential electricity prices in some areas could be as much as 40% higher than they were in 2025. At least one in three American households struggle to pay energy bills.

In June 2026, a social crypto startup called Fomo raised $75 million in a round led by Index Ventures. The company’s name is apt: It builds virality (and FOMO) by allowing users to follow and copy top traders’ moves on the platform.

When bio-designer Lucia Giron was on family vacation at an island off the coast of North Carolina, a tropical storm flooded the shore, leaving behind small pools of water in the sand.

Red hots. Frosted Flakes. Wonder Bread. The shelves inside the Momentary gallery in Bentonville, Arkansas, are filled with childhood supermarket favorites. Except they look a tick off. The Frosted Flakes box is a little squat, and the Wonder Bread bag features almost hand-scrawled type.

Your project deadline is today. A potential career maker. You know you’ll be pushed to your creative limits.

Every year, I look at how much money I earn from each client. Some years, my earnings are very skewed toward one client (or two). If something had happened to that working relationship, my year could have looked much different.

“Don’t mess up the culture as we scale!” That’s the family-friendly version of what one of the founders of Airbnb told the employee experience specialist Mark Levy when he arrived at the company in 2013 and was cotasked with modernizing the human resources function.

That data might serve a purpose once a relationship is established, but when we start with it, it invites people to rank, compare, and categorize us before they know anything about us, curtailing the possibility of bonding over shared humanity. In a world full of contact but starving for connection, we need to rethink the introduction itself.
