Amazon just unveiled AI smart glasses for its drivers — here's what they actually do

"Amazon recently unveiled new wearable AI smart glasses to help delivery drivers carry out tasks hands-free, without using their phones. The e-commerce giant announced last week that it was working on developing the glasses for faster delivery times. The glasses use AI-powered sensors, computer vision, and cameras to create a display that shows everything from navigation instructions to delivery tasks. The frames support prescription lenses, as well as transitional lenses that automatically change according to light. The glasses enable drivers to scan packages, follow step-by-step walking instructions to a specific location, and verify delivery. The device pairs with a controller, worn within the driver's delivery vest, that includes a swappable battery and a dedicated emergency button to get help along the route if needed."

Could mushrooms be the computer memory of the future?

"A new paper published in PLOS One shows that mushrooms can act as the 'memristors' required for many next-gen computing applications. Memristors could offer enormous speed boosts over traditional transistor-based computing and, perhaps more importantly, they could unlock the potential of physical 'neuromorphic' computing. Now, we have proof that this important breakthrough is possible in the medium of shiitake mushrooms."

You might be loving Fluffy to death

"We've all seen them: Puppies pushed along in strollers. Cats parading in Halloween costumes custom-made for them. Canines and felines so coddled and cuddled that even they know they're more than just a companion animal. But the rise of 'fur baby culture' is a dangerous trend, breeding animal welfare problems and bilking well-intentioned humans out of millions of dollars per year. This is the warning issued in the recently published book Veterinary Controversies and Ethical Dilemmas, which contains dozens of essays edited by a quartet of veterinarians."

The Looney Tunes are killing it over on Tubi

"This past August, Warner Bros. Discovery punted nearly 800 Looney Tunes shorts — with nearly 200 locked away due to 'cultural sensitivities' — over to free streaming service Tubi. What seemed like an insult to one of the most well-known cartoon properties has, funnily enough, been a blessing in disguise. According to a recent Vulture report, Tubi's acquisition head, Samuel Harowitz, called the Tunes 'a huge win for us.' In terms of total viewing time, it's in the Top 10 best-performing series and very popular across generations and demographics."
