The US consumer is in good shape, according to the CEOs of Dick’s Sporting Goods and Urban Outfitters—despite a recent dip in confidence and tariff fears.

Asking a question (survey) can result in a different answer than observing behavior (sales).
I love this quote from Liquid Death’s chief media officer:

Apple wants to release its own AI powered search integrated with Siri, calling it an “answer engine”. Potentially powered by a Google model.
Apple is rebuilding Siri around three core components: a planner, the search systems for the web and devices, and a summarizer. The planner interprets voice or text input and decides how to respond; the search system scans the web or user data; and the summarizer pulls it all together into an answer.
At this stage in the game, makes the most sense to build on an outside model. Maybe one less data set to figure out how to infiltrate for AI exposure?
