I wrote this last month: 'There's no accountability': AI startups keep claiming huge revenue. VCs say the math is getting 'murky.' businessinsider.com/why-vcs-…

Investor skepticism is growing around the revenue claims powering the AI boom.

VCs are taking a harder look at startups' recurring-revenue numbers.

i did this exact story on june 10 businessinsider.com/stubhub-…

We tried to buy the exact same tickets on StubHub. We got six wildly different prices.

Sports and concert tickets show huge price differences on StubHub, as varying fees confuse buyers and make costs impossible to know.

NBC News gathered nine volunteers to check the same StubHub ticket at the same time for Harry Styles’ Oct. 30 concert. They saw eight different prices. nbcnews.com/business/consume…

So, a shipment of crickets for the lizard arrived via FedEx today. It was my first time ordering bulk crickets off the internet, and I naively assumed that they would be in like, a bag or some other contraption to facilitate easy transfer to another container. They were not.

I talked to a coffee shop owner in Buffalo who was getting destroyed on Instagram after showing a photo of a fall menu poster she made with ChatGPT. One person with a big local following was DMing her and threatening to post about it she woudln't agree to hire an artist to redo it. But it turned out it was more complicated that her skipping out on hiring someone: she told me she's never hired anyone to make their chalkboard menu signs - either she did posters herself with photos and Canva or a staffer did in chalk. The AI menu was just her trying to reduce her own workload (she has a newborn and wanted to save time) businessinsider.com/coffee-s…

A coffee shop owner used AI to make a menu poster. Then came the angry DMs.

A Buffalo coffee shop's fall menu went viral for all the wrong reasons. Its owner apologized for using AI but also urged "kindness and respect."
