Asteroids, wendigos, monsters, vampires: Artificial Intelligence conspiracies flood TikTok

[ad_1] From asteroids, vampires and wendigos to killer asteroids, TikTok users are pumping out outlandish end-of-the-world conspiracy theories, researchers say, in yet another misinformation trend on a platform whose fate in the United States hangs in the balance. In the trend reported by the nonprofit Media Matters, TikTok users seek to monetize viral videos that make unfounded claims about the US government secretly capturing or preserving mythical monsters that include -- wait for it -- King Kong.It is the latest illustration of misinformation swirling on the platform -- a stubborn issue that has been largely absent in recent policy debates as US lawmakers mull banning the Chinese-owned app on grounds of national security.

Forget Threads, this viral AI photo editing app is now on top of App Store; Know all about Remini

After dominating the App Store's top apps listing for a few days, Meta's Instagram-powered text-based platform Threads lost its top position to another contender.

TikTok’s Coming for Amazon’s Search Traffic

[ad_1] Young shoppers want to be entertained, engaged and surprised, things the biggest online e-commerce company is surprisingly bad at. Amazon.com Inc. has long been the dominant platform where people start their shopping searches for everything from earbuds to summer dresses. But its grip over that first step in a shopper's journey is loosening as ByteDance Ltd.'s TikTok aggressively draws traffic and becomes a more popular place for people to shop. TikTok's growing influence has exposed Amazon's big weakness: for all its success in retail logistics, it's not really a fun place to browse or discover new trends.

But the year's most unexpected twist would've been when you found yourself spread on all manner of nonfood surfaces and headlining an unlikely food trend: the butter board. Indeed, TikTok enthusiasts made it a very big year for butter. They showed the world innumerable ways to serve the dairy product, first by swirling it around on...
