Episode notes
Amazon Pharmacy Expands Same-Day Delivery
- Amazon Pharmacy will expand same-day prescription delivery to nearly 4,500 U.S. cities and towns by year-end.
- The rollout adds roughly 2,000 communities and enters new states like Idaho and Massachusetts.
Threads Lets Users Tell The Algo What To Show
- Threads launched 'Dear Algo', letting users post public requests to temporarily change their feed preferences for three days.
- Making requests public turns personalization into a community discovery mechanism but may deter privacy-conscious users.
XAI Reorganized Around Product Pillars
- XAI reorganized into four focused teams covering chat, coding, video generation, and large-scale simulation projects.
- This structure signals a move from broad research to productized, mission-driven units at XAI.
