Last week I covered the best TV deals you could find ahead of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, and one of them, the TCL QM6K, has somehow remained at this impressively discounted price. You can grab the 65-inch QM6K from Best Buy for just $530, just $30 from a 50 percent markdown, with discounts on the larger versions of the screen as well.While there are certainly fancier models with higher brightness and price tags to match, we think the QM6K offers a balanced image at a great price point. It has incredible black levels that help create a deep,…

Nickle LaMoreaux, IBM’s chief human resource officer, announced the initiative at Charter’s Leading with AI Summit on Tuesday. “And yes, it’s for all these jobs that we’re being told AI can do,” LaMoreaux said. These jobs will look different than the entry-level jobs IBM used to offer, she explained. According to LaMoreaux, she went…

Certain pockets of the U.S. stock market have been hit this year by the release of AI tools that threaten automating tasks performed by some companies — or at least risk eating into their profit margins.Shares of several trucking and logistics firms declined on fears that new AI tools could slash major freight inefficiencies, leading to less demand for the…

On October 24th, 2011, Jeffrey Epstein was emailing back and forth with Boris Nikolic, a biotech venture capitalist who would later be named as a backup executor of Epstein’s will.

More than a store, SC103’s new bijoux shop on Henry Street is a refuge from the real world. A place where, the designers said, people can come and rediscover how to interact with objects in a sensory way.

Sophie Andes-Gascon and Claire McKinney were hands-on with the store design, and for fall they were thinking about wardrobes in the sense of physical spaces as well as a collection of garments that reflects the different facets and experiences…
