  1. Price tags, and fair market prices themselves, are increasingly a thing of the past. These days, you’re not seeing “the” price—you’re seeing “your price.” Before the fixed price became a retail standard in 1861, shopping was an exercise in discrimination where your identity often dictated your cost of living. Today, the protection of fixed prices is being quietly dismantled. Whether it’s grocery chains replacing paper with electronic labels linked to AI, or ride-share companies tracking your battery life—while acknowledging that someone with 1% phone battery is statistically more likely to accept a surge price—the goal is the same: identifying your individual pain point. This logic doesn’t end with consumer goods: legal scholar Veena Dubal’s research shows how Uber, for example, is using algorithms to individualize pay, providing more or less return for the same workload and performance, based on the lowest amount a driver will accept. The next time you see a price on a screen, it’s worth reflecting on whether you’re looking at the value of the product, or the value an algorithm assigned to you. #news #economy #fyp #ai #tech

  3. We spent 18 months investigating Sam Altman and OpenAI for @newyorkermag. We reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos and documents. More than 100 people talked. What we found: allegations of repeated deception to board members and executives. Safety commitments that were made publicly and abandoned internally. A web of financial entanglements stretching from Silicon Valley to Gulf autocracies. And the story of how people who tried to stop him were outmaneuvered. The full investigation is out now.

  1. 30 years ago, balloon expert Treb Heining was asked to create a celebratory effect for the New Years Eve Ball Drop in Times Square. He came up with the idea to disperse thousands of pounds of confetti by hand in order to create a billowing snowfall onto Times Square. To this day, he still leads a group of volunteers that make the magic happen…whether it be rain or shine.

  3. In 1991, Treb Heining was asked to create an effect that would transform the New Years Eve ball drop in Times Square. In response, he created the “confetti blizzard” that consists of 80 trusted volunteers to disperse confetti by hand from the rooftops of Time Square. For the past 33 years, Treb has continued to lead this effect and bring magic to New York City. To learn more about Treb and the confetti blizzard tradition, I made a full documentary linked in my bio. The confetti that’s used is made from 100% recycled material that would otherwise be discarded, and is biodegradable. After the event, DSNY crews promptly clean up the debris.
