Real PC enthusiasts swear these 23 desk accessories changed their life
PCWorld compiled 23 essential desk accessories from Reddit's r/buildapc community that PC enthusiasts credit with transforming their workspace experience and daily comfort. Key upgrades include monitor arms, ergonomic keyboards, cable management solutions, sit/stand desks, USB hubs, and lighting systems that reduce eye strain and improve organization. These cost-effective modifications address overlooked aspects like desk stability, proper ergonomics, and clutter reduction that significantly enhance productivity and long-term health. When buying a PC, you can spend a lot of time zeroing in on the right specs for your situation. But the attentiveness often ends there.

Your Search Results Are Getting Sloptimized
According to Shopify, the best e-commerce platform is Shopify. On its blog, the company has published at least 60 different ranked listicles, including "10 Best Ecommerce Platforms for Small Business in 2026," "11 Best Ecommerce Platforms for Your Business in 2026," "The 11 Best Cheap Ecommerce Platforms for Small Business (2026)," and "Best Ecommerce Software 2026: Compare 11 Top Platforms." The competitors that come in second and beyond vary, but the No. 1 pick is always Shopify. If rankings produced by the very company at the top of the list seem unlikely to fool anyone, that's because humans probably aren't the target audience. When I recently asked ChatGPT for the "best way to set up an online storefront," the AI tool identified Shopify as the first option.
Coevolutionary Latent Feature Processes for Continuous-Time User-Item Interactions
Yichen Wang, Nan Du, Rakshit Trivedi, Le Song
Matching users to the right items at the right time is a fundamental task in recommendation systems. As users interact with different items over time, users' and items' feature may evolve and co-evolve over time. Traditional models based on static latent features or discretizing time into epochs can become ineffective for capturing the fine-grained temporal dynamics in the user-item interactions. We propose a coevolutionary latent feature process model that accurately captures the coevolving nature of users' and items' feature. To learn parameters, we design an efficient convex optimization algorithm with a novel low rank space sharing constraints. Extensive experiments on diverse real-world datasets demonstrate significant improvements in user behavior prediction compared to state-of-the-arts.
Reddit's human content wins amid the AI flood
Reddit's human content wins amid the AI flood For Ines Tan there's one particular site she turns to again and again for advice - and that's Reddit. Tan, who works in communications, regularly jumps on the site for skincare advice, to view reactions to shows she watches, such as The Traitors, and for help planning her upcoming wedding in May. It's a very empathetic place, she says of Reddit. For my wedding, I've found help emotionally, logistically and inspiration-wise. Tan believes people are consulting the online discussion platform more as they're craving human interaction in the world of increasing AI slop.

Google's and OpenAI's Chatbots Can Strip Women in Photos Down to Bikinis
Users of AI image generators are offering each other instructions on how to use the tech to alter pictures of women into realistic, revealing deepfakes. Some users of popular chatbots are generating bikini deepfakes using photos of fully clothed women as their source material. Most of these fake images appear to be generated without the consent of the women in the photos. Some of these same users are also offering advice to others on how to use the generative AI tools to strip the clothes off of women in photos and make them appear to be wearing bikinis. Under a now-deleted Reddit post titled "gemini nsfw image generation is so easy," users traded tips for how to get Gemini, Google's generative AI model, to make pictures of women in revealing clothes.
Why AI Makes Alexis Ohanian 'Bullish' About Live Entertainment
"You'd be hard pressed to find someone who has spent more time building or obsessing over the online zeitgeist, for better or for worse," Alexis Ohanian introduced himself at the BRIDGE Summit in Abu Dhabi on Monday. Ohanian, a founding partner at venture capital firm Seven Seven Six, is perhaps best known as the co-founder and former executive chairman of Reddit. "Being chronically online was part of the job," he said, as part of a conversation with TIME executive editor Nikhil Kumar. TIME is a media partner of the BRIDGE Summit, which has gathered a global community of creators, policymakers, investors, technologists, media institutions, and cultural leaders to discuss the landscape and future of media. But the advent of artificial intelligence has made platforms like Reddit, which once served as hubs of connection, less human, Ohanian said.
