Why we’re fall-ing in love with Wayfair

It's no secret that Wayfair is a fun place to shop, but in a world where every penny counts, we're not just looking to have fun. Our goal is to save big on quality home goods as we gear up for the holidays. In case you're wondering, "Is Wayfair legit?" or "Is Wayfair furniture good quality?", we can confidently answer yes to those questions, and if you read Wayfair reviews, you’ll find that thousands of customers agree with us.

But there are even more reasons to love Wayfair, and Brad's Deals rounded up their top reasons. Brad (yes, it's a real guy) was a broke college student who found cheaper ways to shop and shared them with his friends in the early 2000’s. Now their experts search the web to find the best deals, and share them with users. To join the club, all you need is an email address.

In an Imperial College London study, humans displayed sympathy towards and protected AI bots who were excluded from playtime. The researchers say the study, which used a virtual ball game, highlights humans' tendency to treat AI agents as social beings -- an inclination that should be considered when designing AI bots.

The study is published in Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies. Lead author Jianan Zhou, from Imperial's Dyson School of Design Engineering, said: "This is a unique insight into how humans interact with AI, with exciting implications for their design and our psychology."

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has announced a series of structural changes and leadership appointments aimed at accelerating the company’s AI initiatives. The restructuring sees the Gemini app team, led by Sissie Hsiao, joining Google DeepMind under the leadership of Demis Hassabis.

“Bringing the teams closer together will improve feedback loops, enable fast deployment of our new models in the Gemini app, make our post-training work proceed more efficiently and build on our great product momentum,” Pichai explained.

Additionally, the Assistant teams focusing on devices and home experiences will be integrated into the Platforms & Devices division. This reorganisation aims to align these teams more closely with the product surfaces they are developing for and consolidate AI smart home initiatives at Google under one umbrella.
