Popular AI Shopping Startup Nate Exposed

The popular AI startup for shopping, Nate, turned out to be run by hundreds of Filipinos imitating a neural network.

But reality was not so pleasant: in fact, everything was done by hundreds, thousands of outsourced Filipinos, and there was no automation at all. The lie was exposed when the startup ran out of money and began selling assets. There's no need to even imagine the faces of buyers.

New Study

A new study has revealed that children raised without siblings are mentally healthier and happier. Scientists from China examined several thousand individuals aged 18 to 30, comparing those raised as only children with those who had siblings. The results showed that only children in the family have better mental health, are smarter, more creative, more satisfied with their lives, less impulsive, and less dependent on others' approval. Scientists explain this by noting that children without siblings do not have to share with anyone. They receive all resources and attention from their parents. As a result, they experience less stress in their lives and achieve their goals faster, which fosters emotional control, confidence, and independence.

Women Love Bald Men

Women love bald men - such men are associated with bravery and leadership. Scientists in the 70s discovered something interesting: men without hair on their heads often have high testosterone and even some evolutionary advantage. Simply put, their bodies have adapted to dominate. And if you dig deeper, baldness is an ancient trick from the primate arsenal. Studies of gorillas and chimpanzees showed that males with a chance of leadership tend to have thinning hair. It's all logical: less hair means less chance of being grabbed by the head in a fight.
