News of the Day
Amazon has launched its AI-powered shopping assistant, "Rufus," for all U.S. customers in the Amazon mobile app. Rufus, accessible via the app’s main navigation bar, assists with finding products, making comparisons, and offering purchase recommendations. Initially available in beta, Rufus has now been tested with tens of millions of questions. The assistant is trained on Amazon’s product catalog, customer reviews, and other public data sources. Customers can ask Rufus various questions, such as "What to consider when buying headphones?" or request task-specific recommendations, like starting an indoor garden. Additionally, Rufus can provide updates on past orders and current deliveries. Though generally effective, Rufus occasionally errs in its responses and is limited to Amazon’s catalog. Amazon plans to continually enhance the assistant’s capabilities.

Become undefinable.
Run a marathon one day, write an essay the next. Direct a short film, build an app, deadlift 500lbs, strategize a marketing campaign, or do whatever your curiosity draws you to.
If you can be defined as "____," you face either competition or replacement.
