AI grifters are creating fake Black people to sell Shein junk
TikTok sellers that appear to be AI generated, in tears. | The Verge Aliyah, a light-skinned Black woman dressed in country-western gear, is struggling to sell metal buckles she handmade on TikTok. In a video for the social media platform from March, she cries to the camera and pleads for views: "Even as a black woman, I have more faith that white women will stay 13 seconds [on this video] to save my belt buckle business," the onscreen text reads. She wipes a tear off her cheek. But Aliyah isn't real, and neither are her supposedly handmade products - she's one of many AI-generated influencers created to sell mass-produced products via dropshipping on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. Identical belt buckles … Read the full story at The Verge.

"I had my prior VC investors breathing down my neck, going 'start something else. We'll write you a blank check.'" He had other ideas. People generally aren't rushing to get into the website business, what with the Google Zero event horizon approaching. Campbell was undeterred and has gro … Read the full story at The Verge.

New review paper argues code is how AI agents think and act, not just what they produce
A new review paper argues that the real bottleneck for autonomous AI agents isn't the language model itself but the software layer wrapped around it. Tools, memory, testing, and permission boundaries turn a stateless model into a working agent. Deepseek is already building a dedicated "Harness" team in Beijing with a core formula that confirms the thesis: model plus harness equals AI agent.
