Amazon launches a new tool for sellers — money under control.
Amazon has launched a new tool in Europe — Seller Wallet, which gives sellers more control over their funds. Sellers can now choose when to convert currency and withdraw money, seeing the exchange rate and fees in advance.
This is especially important for cross-border sellers who work with multiple markets and lose money on conversions. Amazon is gradually transforming from a simple marketplace into a full-fledged fintech infrastructure for sellers.

A San Francisco resident has sued OpenAI for encouraging her stalker.
The woman accuses the company of convincing her ex-boyfriend of his own genius and helping to organize a campaign of harassment. As Futurism reports, the man began actively communicating with the neural network after the breakup. Over time, he developed paranoia, believing that he had found a cure for sleep apnea and that a secret syndicate was after him.
The chatbot not only reinforced this delusion by referring to the user as “perfectly healthy,” but also characterized his ex-girlfriend as a “manipulator.” Using AI, the stalker began generating pseudo-psychological reports on the victim’s mental health and sending them to their family and colleagues, eventually escalating to death threats.
In January 2026, a man was arrested for bomb threats and armed assault, but he was found to be mentally incapacitated and released. The woman is now demanding that OpenAI block the stalker's accounts and provide her with a history of his interactions with the AI to understand his whereabouts and future plans.

Amazon blocks AI agents: the court restricted Perplexity's access.
Amazon has achieved temporary restrictions against Perplexity AI: the US court has banned their AI agents from accessing the platform through the Comet browser.
The reason is concerns that AI agents can automatically make purchases by accessing users' accounts, as well as distort the advertising ecosystem (brands pay for impressions that are not seen by humans, but by bots).
However, there is a deeper context behind this: marketplaces are not ready to allow third-party AI services into their ecosystems, as they do not want to lose control over traffic and revenue.

An employee died at an Amazon warehouse, and colleagues were forced to continue working nearby.
A tragic incident occurred at an Amazon warehouse: a 46-year-old employee died after suffering a heart attack in the workplace.
According to reports, the man collapsed and remained on the floor for about an hour, while work continued at the warehouse. Employees were allegedly not allowed to interrupt the processes, and one of them was asked to "just turn away and continue working."
It was only after some time that medical personnel arrived on the scene, and a portion of the warehouse was closed.
The situation has caused a resonance online and among employees:
the issue of safety and company priorities is raised, where efficiency sometimes takes precedence over people.

A German resident won a lawsuit against the government using ChatGPT.
A resident of Leipzig was able to defend himself in a fraud case using a neural network instead of a professional lawyer. This is the first officially recorded case in the country where AI successfully defended a person's interests in court.
The dispute arose over an extra 242 euros: David Hinz went to work a week early, and he was mistakenly credited with benefits for those days. Although he informed the agency about the overpayment himself, the labor agency accused him of fraud. Hinz used ChatGPT to write an 18-page petition. Despite minor inaccuracies in the chatbot's advice, the court found the arguments convincing and fully acquitted the man.
The criminal record could have prevented Hinz from pursuing a career.

SpaceX plans to buy the AI service Cursor for $60 billion.
Elon Musk's company has received an option to buy the popular AI code editor Cursor. The amount of the potential deal is estimated at $60 billion — this is 24 times more than the value of the startup last year.
Musk plans to use Cursor's technology to create an AI capable of writing code and performing complex "computer routines" on its own. This is a direct response to OpenAI's recent move into the enterprise segment and the success of projects like OpenClaw and Claude Code.
In fact, SpaceX plans to spend 80% of the funds it expects to raise from its upcoming IPO on purchasing Cursor. While the project is currently operating as a partnership, SpaceX retains the right to fully acquire Cursor by the end of 2026.

Ex-Tesla HR chief calls liberal arts the most valuable skill in the AI era.
Former Tesla VP of HR Valerie Capers Workman called not to believe the “noise” in the media about the uselessness of diplomas. Despite criticism of higher education from Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, she believes that in the era of automation, the value of an academic foundation is only increasing.
According to Workman, it is the humanities that are becoming the "source code" for skills that AI cannot replace, such as emotional intelligence, ethical analysis, and critical thinking. However, a single degree is no longer sufficient. The expert argues that the phrase "I'm not a techie" should be permanently removed from the lexicon, as graduates will need to acquire AI literacy and industrial engineering skills to remain competitive.

Chinese startup DeepSeek unveiled its new flagship V4 model.
The Chinese startup has released a public preview version of its fourth-generation models. The release includes the heavyweight Pro version (1.6 trillion parameters) for complex calculations and a leaner Flash version for fast generation.
The main change was the transition to a context window standard of 1 million tokens. In programming and math tests, the Pro version competes with top-tier closed-source solutions from Google and Anthropic.
The API for the new models is already operational and supports OpenAI and Anthropic formats. The company plans to completely disable the older versions of deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner by July 2026.

Chinese DeepSeek has dramatically reduced the cost of AI solutions by offering a 75% discount on its new DeepSeek-V4-Pro model.
At the same time, the company has reduced the cost of caching requests across its entire API lineup by a factor of ten, significantly lowering the cost of development.
The pre-release version of the model was unveiled on Friday. The model is optimized for Huawei chips, indicating DeepSeek's efforts to strengthen its position within the Chinese semiconductor ecosystem.
The 75% discount on the DeepSeek-V4-Pro is valid until May 5. Currently, there are two versions in the lineup:
📍the more powerful and expensive Pro;
📍the lighter and more affordable Flash.
According to the company, the Pro version performs well in benchmarks for global data knowledge, outperforming most open-source models and being second only to Google's solutions (specifically, the closed-source Gemini-Pro-3.1).

Google is launching a virtual clothing try-on feature.
A Wardrobe section will appear in the Google Photos service, which will automatically gather all your clothes into a virtual closet. AI will analyze your photo library, recognize clothes in them, and sort them into categories.
Directly in the app, you will be able to mix items, create outfits on mood boards, and 'try them on' a digital avatar to evaluate the look from the outside. The neural network will itself suggest how well the selected pieces go together.
The feature release is scheduled for summer 2026. Initially, Android users will get access to the virtual wardrobe, and later the update will come to iOS.

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?'.
