Pinterest on Wednesday announced a new experimental app called “Ask Pinterest” that will allow the company to explore a more conversational approach to shopping and product discovery that could eventually find its way to the main Pinterest app. It also introduced other AI initiatives, including Pinterest Model Context Protocol (MCP), designed for advertisers running campaigns on Pinterest’s platform, and other AI ad tools. The news comes just ahead of the adtech industry’s annual gathering at Cannes Lions, which is this year mainly focused on how AI can serve the needs of advertisers and marketers. The “Ask Pinterest” online application gives…

You ask, we answer! Reader @nflightdva wanted to know: “What shoes is Nia Long wearing?” Nia Long attended the Estée Lauder Pop-Up Bus in New York City in a $2,950 Celine white sculptural shirt dress and $1,190 The Attico Ornella Dark Green Sandals. Her architectural shirt dress features voluminous balloon-like ruffles at the hem, oversized petal detailing at the waist, and billowing sleeves — a bold, fashion-forward silhouette that balances structure with drama. Her peep-toe platform style sandals feature a sleek dark leather upper, an ankle strap closure, and a distinctive cork platform sole — equal parts elevated and edgy.…

The Gila River is among the Southwest’s most important rivers, delivering water for people, farms, and wildlife while linking the snow-fed mountains of southwestern New Mexico to the desert lowlands of southwestern Arizona. In wetter years, seasonal snowfall on the Mogollon Mountains and Black Range provides much of the river’s spring flow and helps refill San Carlos Reservoir, which is formed by the Coolidge Dam. When filled to capacity, the reservoir is one of Arizona’s largest bodies of water. However, in 2026, lackluster snowfall left the mountain snowpack in the Gila River watershed at 2 percent of the 1991-2020 March…

SpaceX has agreed to acquire AI coding startup Cursor in a $60 billion stock deal, just a few days after the space company’s historic IPO and less than two months after announcing a tie-up between the two. The deal is meant to help SpaceX’s AI division — built around Elon Musk’s AI company xAI, which SpaceX merged with earlier this year — catch up to the major AI labs. Despite being a centerpiece of its IPO promises, SpaceX’s AI division has been in the midst of a restructuring after running into repeated controversies, like allowing users to generate non-consensual deepfakes…

Public companies now hold more than 1.2 million Bitcoin — nearly 6% of the total supply — and that number is still climbing. Goldman Sachs projects U.S. data center power demand will hit 66 gigawatts in 2027, more than double its 2025 level, as AI infrastructure construction accelerates at a pace the grid was never built to handle.  Bitcoin miners and AI hyperscalers are now bidding for the same megawatts, in the same substations, on the same timelines. Those three storylines — corporate Bitcoin adoption, AI’s takeover of financial services, and a power crunch reshaping energy markets — have been…

How humans alloy metals is essentially the same today as it was in the Bronze Age: Melt some different metals in a pot and mix them until they form a new, better metal. An early-stage startup, Foundation Alloy, has developed a new alloying technique that beats the ingredients instead of melting them. “We’re actually smashing metal powder particles together instead of melting them,” Jake Guglin, co-founder and CEO of Foundation Alloy, told TechCrunch. “We can create properties that other people can’t.” So far, the startup has been selling its bespoke metals in small batches, but Guglin said his company is…

It appears using AI as a cover story for cutting jobs is fast falling out of fashion. Unlike many of his tech industry peers who have cut thousands of jobs this year citing the need to restructure their teams to make the most of AI, Robinhood’s CEO Vlad Tenev conspicuously made no mention of AI in his note to employees announcing that the company is letting go 10% of its full-time employees, or about 290 people. Nor did the company’s regulatory filing announcing the move, which instead framed the cuts as a restructuring exercise. Still, Tenev did say the company…
