It was a sweltering Sunday in Brooklyn. Instead of being wasteful and spending $10 on a five-minute Uber, I decided to walk the 20 minutes to a cutesy Japanese stationery cafe with an even cutesier name.

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-14 18:12:05

It's a funny time to be a musician, to put it lightly. On top of the glut of social feeds and streaming services they have to maintain, artists and their representatives are now fighting AI bots for their listeners' attention — and the humans aren't always winning. Acclaimed musician and producer Tyler "Tyler, the Creator" Okonma certainly didn't when his surprise summer album "Don't Tap The Glass" got largely undermined by low-effort AI slop. The American hip-hop artist first hinted at a new

What that something is, only time and a watchful eye will reveal, but apparently, a part of that future vision is a smartwatch. According to a report from DigiTimes, Meta is working on reviving its plans to make a smartwatch with a camera on it, and that watch could be revealed later this year.

It’s official: Alibaba is entering the smart glasses game. After rumors that percolated late last week, Alibaba unveiled its official plans to put out frames that look awfully similar to Meta’s Ray-Bans, but with a few key advantages that could help them blow way past U.S. competition.

But Tahoe opens things up enough that you can make some truly discordant-looking color combinations.
