Amazon Music launches AI-powered weekly playlists based on 'preferences and mood'

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-12 21:42:39

Amazon Music has just launched new AI-powered weekly playlists based on the "preferences and mood" of listeners. This just means it scrapes what you've already been listening to and extrapolates further. It doesn't apply modern technology to gauge the actual mood of users. The company says the playlists include "a curated mix of familiar favorites from their most listened-to artists and latest favorites to new discoveries."

Netflix has released a new trailer for Wake Up Dead Man, the latest chapter in Rian Johnson‘s mystery series starring Benoit Blanc, the world’s greatest detective of ambiguous Southern origin. Have a look: As evidenced by the trailer, the story concerns an “impossible” locked mystery of seemingly supernatural origin, evoking the great works of John Dickson Carr, Seishi Yokomizo, and Hanna-Barbera.

President Trump's attempt to fire a Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission was given a boost today, as Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts granted a stay that temporarily blocks a lower-court ruling against Trump. The Supreme Court hasn't ruled on the merits of the case. Today's order from Roberts stayed the lower-court ruling "pending further order of The Chief Justice or of the Court."

The Solnhofen Limestone, a fossil hotspot in southern Germany, hosts a particularly rich array of baby pterosaur bones.
