Earlier this week, another product contending for the future of AI companionship made its debut: an eavesdropping necklace called Friend. AdvertisementSchiffmann's original vision for an AI hardware device was a pendant that would act as a more standard-fare AI assistant called Tab — he once described it as a "wearable mom." Of the many AI hardware devices that launched in recent months, such as Humane's AI pin, Meta's smart glasses, and Rabbit's AI-powered R1, Friend is the most personal contender. In fact, on the day Friend launched, a competing AI hardware founder named Nik Shevchenko released a diss track — as any self-respecting 23-year-old AI hardware founder would do — insinuating that Schiffmann stole his idea. (It would not be the first time that Shevchenko built an open source competitor that closely resembled another AI hardware device.

CNN —Maybe a hug from a parent no longer solves problems for a teen as it did in their childhood. But when it comes to teenage mental health, adults can do a lot to help, according to new data.

High-performers and women aren't getting quality feedback in the workplace, and it could be driving them to quit. "As people are providing feedback for these high performers, they feel the need to provide more, but it is more often surface-level," Snyder tells CNBC Make It. Meanwhile, 30% of high performers leave their organization within their first year, according to Textio data. Women get more personality-based feedback and internalize negative reviewsThe Textio analysis also finds that there are gendered biases in what kind of feedback is delivered to men, women and nonbinary employees. Women and nonbinary employees were more likely to internalize negatively stereotyped feedback, such as being described as emotional, unlikable or difficult.

On its face, there’s nothing necessarily political about the mantra that the customer is always right. But the idea that the customer is always right also contains a worldview, a kind of market fundamentalism that typifies much of the American right today. The problem starts when our decisions aren’t merely subjective — that is, when questions of truth, moral or factual, are involved. Students today, whose parents often pay fortunes for their education, are treated like valuable customers, not lowly apprentices.

What men say, on the other hand, isn't at all telling. "This relationship is completely explained by drug reviews written by females; reviews written by males have no explanatory power." In their analysis, women tended to be more articulate and detailed in their drug reviews and experience, while men were vaguer. One 2023 study looking at Yelp reviews found that the persuasiveness of reviews by gender depended on product category. Other research, however, suggests that even for areas stereotypically seen as being in women's realm, women's reviews aren't perceived as more valuable than men's.

The Basic Income Guaranteed: Los Angeles Economic Assistance Pilot, or BIG:LEAP, gave over 3,200 households $1,000 in monthly no-strings-attached cash payments for 12 months starting in January 2022. BIG:LEAP compared the outcomes of households receiving cash payments to nearly 5,000 households with similar incomes and family situations in the control group. In the last six months, participants were more likely to establish proximate safety and work toward protecting themselves in the future. Overall, it stands in contrast to what some critics of basic income argue, including that cash payments majorly reduce employment or don't prepare participants for the future. Housing cost burdens decreased among all study participants.
