TLDRs; Amazon shares slip slightly as external product beta goes live. Some app searches now redirect to other retailers’ websites for purchases. Pilot may boost Prime-enabled product adoption and customer convenience. Past issues with unauthorized listings and data scraping remain under scrutiny. 💥 Find the Next KnockoutStock! Get live prices, charts, and KO Scores from KnockoutStocks.com , the data-driven platform ranking every stock by quality and breakout potential. Amazon has begun testing a new feature in its Shopping app that shows products from external brand websites for a subset of U.S. users on iOS and Android. The beta allows customers to view items, compare prices, check delivery options, and purchase directly from the brand’s website. When a user selects one of these products, a notification warns that they are leaving Amazon, providing transparency before redirecting to the external site. The move marks a notable shift in Amazon’s approach to e-commerce. While the platform is known for offering hundreds of millions of products, including over 300 million items available with fast, free Prime delivery, this pilot positions Amazon more like a product search engine rather than a traditional retailer. Following the announcement, Amazon (AMZN) stock dipped slightly, reflecting investor caution over the experimental feature and potential implications for customer engagement and brand relationships. Buy with Prime adoption may see a lift Amazon’s “Buy with Prime” service, which allows Prime members to enjoy fast, free delivery and easy returns even when purchasing on a brand’s own website, could benefit from this beta. Internal reports suggest the program has lagged behind original sales targets, with enablement at only 36% of products. Amazon.com, Inc., AMZN By directing app searches to external sites, Amazon could guide users toward Buy with Prime-enabled items, potentially increasing adoption and improving product-market fit.

Investors are growing uneasy about the potential cost of the Iran war, sending long-term government bonds lower amid concerns over how the conflict will add to pressures on budget deficits. A selloff has pushed the 30-year Treasury yield to close to 4.90%, the highest in a month, as investors expect the cost of military operations to add to the US government deficit. Concerns over the fiscal fallout from the conflict are reverberating across bond markets worldwide too. Yields have spiked from the UK to Germany to Australia to Japan amid the prospect of more borrowing to pay for defense spending and to shield households from higher energy costs. For investors, the cost of the war is adding to concerns over already large deficits, prompting them to demand higher compensation for longer-dated bonds. Combined with the inflationary pressure from surging energy prices, it’s a volatile cocktail for fixed-income investors. “Long-end rates is a fiscal story and a government credibility story,” said Gang Hu , managing partner at Winshore Capital Partners. “It reflects expectations that Trump needs to spend money to fund the war and subsidize consumers for higher oil prices.” The war between the US, Israel and Iran has whipsawed global markets since it began Feb. 28, with investors increasingly factoring in the prospect of a prolonged conflict. President Donald Trump on Wednesday repeated his suggestion it may end soon, but offered no specific timeline, adding “we’re not finished yet.” An auction of $22 billion in 30-year Treasury bonds on Thursday will test investors’ appetite for the securities. Yields across tenors have jumped since the conflict began, with investors also weighing the near-term inflationary impact of the surge in oil prices. Initially, the US rise in yields was led by shorter tenors, narrowing the gap between short- and long-term yields. That pattern suggests investors see the oil shock primarily as a near-term inflation problem — one that is pushing up sho...

Humanoid Soldiers Tested In Ukraine; Founder Eyes Contract To Patrol US Border Corporate media is finally catching up to our humanoid robot theme, with these bots moving beyond factory floors and possibly soon marching onto modern battlefields, as conflicts rage in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. TIME reports that Foundation Robotics, a U.S.-based startup developing humanoid robots for industrial and military applications, has recently sent two Phantom MK1 robots to Ukraine for testing. A Foundation spokesperson said the startup is preparing its Phantom robots for potential deployment in combat scenarios for the Pentagon, which " continues to explore the development of militarized humanoid prototypes designed to operate alongside warfighters in complex, high-risk environments." Foundation co-founder Mike LeBlanc, a 14-year Marine Corps veteran with multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, also told the outlet that the company is in " very close contact" with the Department of Homeland Security regarding possible patrol functions for Phantom along the U.S. southern border. LeBlanc prepares to hand a shotgun to a PhantomMattia Balsamini for TIME. Source: TIME Foundation is already a military-approved vendor and holds government research contracts worth $24 million with the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force. This suggests that these war bots are very close to being tested in war zones. TIME reported that the MK1 robots will soon be training with the Marine Corps for the "methods of entry" operations. This advanced course teaches soldiers breaching techniques for buildings, structures, and ships, using several types of methods: explosive, ballistic, thermal, manual, and mechanical entry. LeBlanc pointed out that the natural evolution of today's autonomous systems is a leap from drones to ground bots to humanoid robots. He said humanoid soldiers do not crack under intense mental pressure and can be deployed as highly expendable assets. In February, we outlined that human...

Estée Lauder is taking legal action against the British perfumer Jo Malone after she used her name on a fragrance for the fashion chain Zara. Malone sold her perfume brand to Estée Lauder Companies in 1999 in a deal under which she was blocked from using her name for particular commercial reasons including the marketing of fragrance. Malone stepped down as creative director of the Jo Malone brand in 2006 and has since said she regretted selling the rights to her name, calling it the “biggest mistake of my life” in several interviews. After a non-compete clause ended in 2011, Malone set up the Jo Loves brand. Last year, the perfume brand launched a collaboration with Zara. The packaging includes the words: “A creation by Jo Malone CBE, founder of Jo Loves.” A spokesperson for Estée Lauder said: “Ms Malone’s use of the name ‘Jo Malone’ in connection with recent commercial ventures goes beyond that legal agreement and undermines Jo Malone London’s unique brand equity. “We respect Ms Malone’s right to pursue new opportunities. But legally binding contractual obligations cannot be disregarded, and when those terms are breached, we will protect the brand that we have invested in and built over decades.” Estée Lauder said Malone had been compensated from refraining from using her name to market fragrances and “for many years, she abided by its terms”. “Over the past 25 years, The Estée Lauder Companies has invested significantly in building Jo Malone London. Today it stands as an iconic global brand, with extraordinary brand equity and a distinct identity that is beloved around the world.” Estée Lauder also owns the name rights to Bobbi Brown, the cosmetics brand, whose founder went on to set up a new brand under the label Jones Road. Malone grew up in south-east London and left school at 13 to care for her mother. She founded her eponymous business in 1990 and now lives in Dubai. The legal action was first reported by the Financial Times.

Twenty-five years in, and Xbox is finally showing its hand. At GDC, Jason Ronald — VP of Next Generation at Xbox — pulled back the curtain on Project Helix, the company's next console platform. It's early days, no release date, no final specs. But what's on the table is enough to pay attention to. Over 5,000 developers are already building for Xbox worldwide. That's the ecosystem Helix is stepping into. Read also Are Desktop Consoles on Their Way Out? Why PC Gaming Is Gaining Ground Key Points Project Helix is Xbox's next-gen console, built on a custom AMD SoC developed alongside next-generation DirectX and FSR Ray tracing performance targets an order-of-magnitude improvement, with AI integrated directly into graphics pipelines Xbox Play Anywhere now covers 1,500+ games, reinforcing a console-PC unified gaming ecosystem Xbox Mode brings a controller-optimized gaming interface to Windows 11, rolling out in April in select markets Developer alpha hardware ships in 2027, with four generations of backward compatibility confirmed AMD Inside, DirectX Rebuilt Around It The hardware story centers on a custom system-on-chip built in partnership with AMD — a multi-year collaboration that goes deeper than just slapping an off-the-shelf chip into a box. Project Helix's SoC is being developed alongside the next generation of DirectX and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution, meaning the software and silicon are being designed together from the ground up. The claimed performance jump in ray tracing is described as an "order of magnitude" improvement. That's a bold phrase, and Xbox will need to back it up with real demos eventually. Beyond ray tracing, intelligence is being baked directly into the graphics and compute pipelines — which reads like on-chip AI acceleration for rendering tasks.

Wharton professor Ethan Mollick, left, and UBS analyst Michael Lasser discuss advancements in AI at the UBS Global Consumer and Retail Conference. (Photo: Rob Williams) Speaking with UBS research analyst Michael Lasser, Mollick said the technology has entered a new phase in which AI agents can plan, research, write code and complete tasks with limited human input. That shift, he said, has major implications for white-collar work, corporate strategy and consumer behavior. “We’re sort of on the edge of this really interesting piece of market change,” Mollick said, describing a fast-moving transition from back-and-forth prompting to more autonomous systems. Mollick, who studies AI applications in business, said the pace of improvement has surprised even people close to the field. He pointed to recent gains in AI performance on complicated tasks, including systems that can now match or beat human experts much more often than they could only months ago. He said that means many companies are still underestimating how capable these tools already are. AI shifts from prompts to autonomous agents Mollick said the big change is that AI is no longer just responding to a user’s question one prompt at a time. Newer systems can be given a goal, access to tools and room to operate on their own. In his framing, earlier forms of AI were mostly prediction engines. Then came generative AI, which could produce text, images and code through conversation. Now, he said, the focus is on agents that can independently work through multi-step problems. “You’d be better assigning everything that has to be human takes over 5 hours to the AI and just see what ha...
