  • The US is trading in its tariff regime for a newer model. Just after midnight, new tariffs went into effect against 60 of the US's top trading partners. The exact rate depends on the country, but they range from 10% to 12.5%. The Trump administration says the new levies will affect countries that account for 99.4% of all US imports. The new tariffs took effect just as President Trump's previous 10% global tariff expired. Trump had slapped that tariff on the world after the Supreme Court struck down different tariffs in February. The newest tariffs were enacted under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which is a different legal justification than the one the Supreme Court rejected. 📸: Getty

    One viral TikTok later, every brand wants in.⁣ ⁣ A TikToker's series redesigning company logos to match how her Mexican mom pronounces them took off after she transformed Sprite into "Esprigh," racking up ~30 million views. Instead of ignoring the trend, Sprite leaned all the way in, changing its TikTok profile picture, posting its own "Esprigh" content, and even joking about "esprighitos."⁣ ⁣ The internet applauded Sprite for playing along, and soon other brands (including Popeyes, DoorDash, and Garnier) were flooding the creator's comments asking for their own makeover. But as more companies rush to cash in on free viral exposure, marketers also face a balancing act. Do they join the conversation naturally, or risk looking like a brand that's trying a bittoo hard?⁣ ⁣ 📸: TT/emilyrosedesign

  • Just like a pseudo-intellectual with a stacked bookshelf, AI companies are buying books…but not for reading. The book broker ISBNdb that caters to AI companies bulk buying books to train their models is likely facilitating an uptick in online used book sales, 404 Media reported this week. Dealers on various bookselling platforms say that they're getting an unusually high number of orders—including for low-circulation foreign language titles—from what they suspect are AI companies. The books typically don't survive the industrial scanning process, which often involves removing the spines and pulping the pages. Buying physical copies lets AI labs feed their models texts that are guaranteed to be entirely human-written. In contrast, much of the text that can be scraped online contains machine-generated fragments, which can degrade the training process. It's also a way for companies to avoid copyright lawsuits. Anthropic recently reached a $1.5 billion settlement with authors and publishers in a copyright case that revealed that the company downloaded files from an online library of pirated books. Documents from the case also shed light on Anthropic's effort to buy, scan, and destroy thousands of books, which the judge deemed to be legal. 📸: Nickelodeon, Getty
