Kanye’s Crypto Journey Gets Significantly Weirder

Kanye West (or Ye, as he’s known now) last week announced his first foray into the cryptocurrency industry with what his X account said was a new memecoin, YZY. “The official Yeezy token just dropped,” said a bored-looking West in a video posted on his X account. This, in and of itself, was somewhat bizarre (West had previously sworn off memecoins) and some web users speculated that the video may have been AI-generated. The coin immediately skyrocketed in value, climbing—in the span of a few ho

Apple announced iOS 26 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, and the tech giant has since released multiple beta versions of the software. Those versions bring new features, like a Liquid Glass design and call screening to block spam callers, to the iPhones of developers and beta testers. You can expect many of those capabilities to land on your iPhone soon. Apple said it will release the update to the general public this fall, which is good but not the most helpful timeframe. But if

Now, his parents are filing the first known wrongful death lawsuit against OpenAI, The New York Times reports.
