It’s about time that the microdrama trend has gone mainstream. As microdrama apps like ReelShort and DramaBox quietly rake in billions, Peacock announced on Monday that’s launching two unscripted Bravo microdramas, which will stream on its app. These are vertical video series, with episodes around 60 to 90 seconds, are designed for a quick, TikTok-like viewing experience. “Salon Confessionals with Madison LeCroy” will feature the “Southern Charm” star as she gives her clients a makeover while they tell her their most dramatic stories. “Campus Confidential: Miami” spotlights a group of college students including Georgia Gay, daughter of Heather Gay from…

Five-year-old European military drone startup Helsing is reportedly close to raising a new $1.2 billion round at about an $18 billion valuation. The round is expected to be led by Dragoneer and co-led by existing Helsing investor Lightspeed, the Financial Times reported. Helsing last raised just under a year ago, in June 2025, in a deal that was led by billionaire Spotify founder Daniel Ek. That was a €600 million investment at an estimated €12 billion valuation ($14 billion USD). So this new round is a step-up. While Helsing isn’t the only European unicorn defense tech, it is by far the…

Astronomers have discovered two early-universe galaxies where the central black holes appear to have grown far faster than their host galaxies. Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal that the black holes in these galaxies, seen just 800 million years after the Big Bang, are significantly more massive relative to their host galaxies, as opposed to what astronomers see in the nearby universe. The study is published on the arXiv preprint server. Source link

Two years later, Acemoglu’s measured take has not caught on. Chatter about an AI jobs apocalypse pops up everywhere from Senator Bernie Sanders’s rallies to conversations I overhear in line at the grocery store. Some previously skeptical economists have gotten more open to the idea that something seismic could be coming with AI. A California gubernatorial candidate said last week that he wants to tax corporate AI use and pay victims of “AI-driven layoffs.”  On the one hand, the data is still on Acemoglu’s side; studies repeatedly find that AI is not affecting employment rates or layoffs. But the technology…

The colleague answering emails after midnight and checking every document three times may believe one mistake could damage their reputation at work. New research from MyPerfectCV found that 51% of employees feel like they are “faking it” at work at least sometimes. The study found many of the workers surveyed question themselves even when they believe experience and ability earned their success. The findings challenge old assumptions about impostor syndrome. According to the survey, 67% of workers credit their success mostly or entirely to skill, while only 4% credit it mostly or entirely to luck. Employees believe they earned their…

Last week, Jake Wood unveiled his Icons series at a private viewing at Indelible Fine Art Gallery, in Jew Street, Brighton. The actor and artist, best known for his role as Max Branning in EastEnders, created 15 original pieces for the exhibition – each piece celebrating different recognisable figures. He described his art style as “quite chaotic”, combining spray paint, acrylic, digital techniques and collage. However, after sharing an image of his piece featuring David Attenborough, the work came under fire, with some claiming Mr Wood had used AI to create the image. Despite the claims, the TV star was…

Digg is back from the dead. Again. Just months after launching, the reboot of Kevin Rose’s once-popular link-sharing site shut down in March, as the company shifted course. Originally redesigned as a competitor to the massive community forum site Reddit, the new Digg found that it wasn’t able to effectively manage the bot traffic invading its platform and hadn’t differentiated itself enough from the competition to make an impact. The startup laid off staff and said it was time to go back to the drawing board. Rose, a partner at True Ventures, returned to work full-time on a new version…
