5 Industries Where AI Brings Opportunities For Innovative Startups - Forbes

In this article, we explore five industries where there are great opportunities for new startups due ... [+] to the rise of AI.

It wouldn’t surprise anyone if I said that artificial intelligence has captured innovative technology over the last few years. Since the technology is still pretty new, in the coming years there will likely be plenty of disruption and rapid growth opportunities for new innovative startups in many industries and niches.

While most such opportunities are hard to predict, some are easier to see and one can argue now is the perfect time to act - due to how hot the field is, early-stage funding would be easier to secure, and top talent would be easier to attract.

Brandon Sanderson Is Your God - WIRED

On the one hand, who cares. Sanderson has millions upon millions of fans all over the planet; it doesn’t matter that some losers at a single magazine (even if it is one of the nerdier ones) had never heard of him. On the other, the ignorance goes far beyond WIRED. As far as I can tell, Sanderson, who has been topping bestseller lists for the better part of the 21st century, has not been written about in any depth by any major publication ever. I called his publicist to confirm this. “Well, we have a piece coming up in LDS Living,” he told me. That’s LDS as in Latter-day Saints. It’s a magazine for Mormons.

Which makes sense: Sanderson is extremely Mormon. What makes less sense is why there’s a hole the size of Utah where the man’s literary reputation should be. Is it because he mostly writes fantasy, a—so the snobs sneer—“subliterary” genre? But then, so do J. K. Rowling, Margaret Atwood, and George R. R. Martin, and they’re household names. Is it because none of Sanderson’s work has been adapted for the screen? Well, he wrote three of the Wheel of Time books, and an adaptation of that series came out on Amazon Prime in 2021. Could it be, finally, because he’s a weirdo Mormon? But so are Orson Scott Card (Ender’s Game), Glen A. Larson (the original Battlestar Galactica), and Stephenie Meyer (Twilight). Mormon, I mean. Only Orson Scott Card is also a weirdo.

Sanderson, when I eventually meet him in person, makes versions of these excuses, plus others, for his writerly obscurity. It’s kind of fun to talk about, until it isn’t, and that’s when I realize, in a panic, that I now have a problem. Sanderson is excited to talk about his reputation. He’s excited, really, to talk about anything. But none of his self-analysis is, for my purposes, exciting. In fact, at that first dinner, over flopsy Utah Chinese—this being days before I’d meet his extended family, and attend his fan convention, and take his son to a theme park, and cry in his basement—I find Sanderson depressingly, story-killingly lame.

Luxury shoppers are buying less Balenciaga and Gucci, in latest signs of an end to the ‘roaring 20s’ - Fortune

Shoppers aren’t splurging on Gucci bags or Balenciaga shoes like they used to, and the “roaring 20s” of the post-COVID boom might be over.

Signs of slowdown in the luxury industry began with easing sales reported at LVMH, the parent company of Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior. French company Kering, which has been struggling to match up to rivals in recent years, was next in line.

Kering’s revenues declined by 9% to €4.5 billion ($4.7 billion) in the third quarter, the company reported Tuesday. The fall was tied to a plunge in sales at two of the French fashion company’s biggest labels—Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent—by 7% and 12%, respectively on a comparable basis.

Ivanka Trump Helped Her Dad Lie About His Net Worth - Forbes

Ivanka Trump was deeply involved in her father's acquisition of Trump National Doral, one of the properties in the crosshairs of New York's attorney general.

Ivanka Trump is expected to testify on Friday in a $250 million fraud case that the New York attorney general is waging against her father and his associates. That’s bad news for Ivanka, who tried to get out of taking the stand. But it might be even worse news for her father, who employed Ivanka in his years-long con to convince the world that he had more money than he actually did.

The attorney general will have plenty of questions for Donald Trump’s eldest daughter. Ivanka helped lead the acquisition of two assets at the center of the lawsuit, the Trump hotel in Washington, D.C. and the Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami. She also lived in another property caught up in the proceedings, a condo building named Trump Park Avenue in New York City.
