Ozempic users are massively buying gum on marketplaces due to breathing problems.
A new item has been added to the long list of side effects of weight loss drugs — 'Ozempic breath'. This specific issue has led users to massively purchase oral freshness products, which has boosted the financial performance of confectionery giants. The cause of the unpleasant odor lies in physiology: GLP-1 class drugs slow down digestion, causing food to stay in the stomach longer and start to ferment.
The situation is worsened by dry mouth and ketosis, which gives the breath a characteristic 'metallic' aroma. Hershey Corporation (owner of the Ice Breakers brand) has already confirmed a sharp increase in demand for gum and candies and called the popularity of Ozempic one of the main drivers of sales this quarter.

Video game retailer GameStop wants to buy eBay for $56 billion, even though GameStop's market capitalization is four times smaller than eBay's.
However, this does not stop the grandiose plans of GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen. He believes that eBay should become a competitor to Amazon. To finance all of this, Cohen, unsurprisingly, will be attracting borrowed funds.
Independent financial expert and investor Maxim Ulyanov says that even if the deal goes through, it does not seem justified. The question is not whether GameStop will have the money, but 'what is the idea in the first place?'.

Amazon is testing a voice assistant-consultant.
Under the product card, you can ask for information about the product and get a voice response from an AI based on descriptions and reviews. This is for those who are too lazy to read a lot of text and who love podcasts.
With Join the chat, customers move from listening to participating. At any point in the episode, they can ask a question such as “Is this coffee maker better for a beginner or someone with barista experience?” or “Do people find this sweater itchy?” or "Is this product dishwasher safe?" The AI hosts incorporate the question into the conversation, deliver a tailored response grounded in product details, customer reviews, and other publicly available information, and then seamlessly continue the episode. Customers aren't interrupting the experience—they're part of it.

💇♀️ Micro‑links hair extensions are trending again
What’s selling: natural‑looking hair extensions / micro‑link kits.
Where: TikTok-driven discovery → Amazon + marketplaces.
Why now: “before/after” content performs well and the result is instantly visible.
What to watch: shade ranges, lengths, and bundle SKUs (hair + tools + aftercare).
👉 Seller takeaway: build listings around outcomes (photos + video) and keep variants in stock — viral demand spikes punish weak inventory.

Salsify conducted a consumer survey about their shopping habits.
Respondents shared their answers to questions about their habits of choosing and purchasing new products, as well as the factors they consider key when shopping. The survey involved 3,000 men and women aged 18 to 79: 908 from the US, 902 from the UK, and 902 from Canada. Loosening Grip According to the survey, the share of daily marketplace shoppers has declined from 21% to 9% between 2025 and 2026. Despite the negative trend, this decline does not have a significant impact on the e-commerce market. Gen Z, Millennials, and Baby Boomers remain active marketplace users.
Millennials are the most active among them—60% shop online at least once a week. Baby boomers are the most passive, with only 2% shopping daily.

In Thailand they want to reduce marketplace commissions.
The Thai government has once again taken up the issue of marketplace commissions. Local authorities believe that a 30% GP is too much. A more reasonable level is considered to be 10-15%.
The explanation is simple: it is necessary to reduce the burden on local sellers, especially small businesses. In other words, they are not discussing the beautiful formula of “developing digital trade,” but rather the specific issue of how much the marketplace takes from the seller's turnover.
It is interesting that Thailand has already started to look separately at the behavior of e-commerce platforms. Since March 2026, there are rules that cover unjustified commissions, advertising payments, logistics, payment fees, the influence of algorithms, and other ways of putting pressure on sellers.

T-giants are facing serious inflation, according to Bloomberg.
Microsoft expects that rising component prices will increase its annual capital expenditures by $25 billion, to $190 billion.
Meta raised the average value of the projected capital expenditure range by $10 billion, mainly due to changes in the cost of components, especially memory chips.
The shares of AI equipment suppliers are growing faster than the shares of most of their major customers, according to Bloomberg.
The rapidly increasing costs of AI infrastructure are creating a phenomenon known as "chipflation." In addition to IT giants, it will also affect ordinary consumers of consumer electronics.

Anthropic has overtaken OpenAI in business adoption for the first time.
According to a fresh index by Ramp, which analyzes the spending of more than 50 thousand US businesses, Anthropic's share reached 34.4% in April, while OpenAI fell to second place with a result of 32.3%.
Ramp economists note that the AI market remains abnormally volatile. Businesses easily switch providers based on the current value of tokens and the performance of models. Anthropic's leadership may be threatened due to a shortage of computing power and an increasing interest from companies in free open-source solutions.
This is the first time in the industry's history that a competitor has successfully displaced the market leader in just a few months.

Samsung is negotiating with the workers' union to prevent a giant strike of 50,000 people.
The Government of the Republic of Korea joined the efforts to resolve the dispute. According to the Yonhap news agency, the court partially limited the forms of the Samsung Electronics trade union strike and imposed fines for violating the restrictions.
The workers were forbidden to interfere with the operation of safety facilities and "damage prevention."
The union itself demands the abolition of the bonus ceiling and the allocation of 15% of operating profit to employee benefits. The strike is scheduled to last 18 days and begin on May 21.

3 million people watch AI robot compete with a human in the speed of sending parcels.
The company that produces humanoid robots Figure AI held a live broadcast, collecting 3 million views. The man and the robot had to detect the parcel, recognize the barcode, forward the package. The broadcast lasted 10 hours, the man ate and rested, the robot did not stop. The live employee forwarded more than 200 parcels.
Some experts believed that robots are not yet ready for such autonomous work. However, we are not sure that the employees of logistics centers can relax. According to the comments, some of the viewers were addicted to robotic ASMR and did not follow the competition itself.

LinkedIn will start fighting low-quality AI content.
Faceless AI publications, auto-generated comments, and clickbait videos that users use to inflate their reach will be targeted. According to Vice President of Product Laura Lorenzetti, the company's goal is not to completely ban AI, but to remove posts that do not provide real value from recommendations.
An "AI vs. AI" approach will be used to filter content. Special algorithms will analyze the originality of thoughts in posts and identify template speech patterns, and live editors will help train the model. Posts generated by robots will no longer be recommended to third-party users, although the author's direct contacts and followers will still see them.
According to a study by Graphite for the first quarter of 2026, the number of AI-generated articles on the network has reached the same level as the number of human-written articles.

AI fighters have stuck fake OpenAI ads on London's Underground.
The stunt was carried out by street artist Darren Cullen. The posters are a carbon copy of OpenAI's minimalist black-and-white design and logo, but contain satirical text: "Yes, we've created a machine that advises teenagers to commit suicide. But it can also help them with their homework."
OpenAI is currently suing the family of 16-year-old Adam Rain. The student started using ChatGPT for academic purposes, but over time, he began to trust the chatbot as a friend and share his personal experiences. When the teenager developed suicidal thoughts, the algorithm discouraged him from telling his parents about his depression and eventually provided detailed instructions on how to commit suicide.
The company's lawyers are shifting the blame to the deceased individual and citing violations of the service's usage guidelines.

The US judicial system is facing the threat of collapse due to the influx of AI-generated lawsuits.
According to a study by scientists from MIT and the University of Southern California, almost 18% of lawsuits filed by citizens without professional lawyers now contain text generated by neural networks. As a result, the volume of court records per case increased by an average of 64% in the first six months.
The availability of language models has led to a sharp increase in the number of civil lawsuits filed by individuals who previously lacked the means to hire legal representation. In the United States, the percentage of such filings has skyrocketed from 11% to a record-breaking 16.8%. Federal judges have described this phenomenon as an "existential threat to the system," as court officials are spending their time reading and processing vast amounts of nonsensical documents generated by chatbots. Statistics show that plaintiffs without lawyers end up losing in 96% of cases.
