It's happening. My wife told her friends how I set up a @bot to handle weekly meal planning and grocery shopping, saving 2-3 hours per week.
They lean forward. "I want that! How do I get that?"
The AI factories are pitching travel agents, but mundane convenience seems like a killer feature to usher the Instagram crowd to Muse/Bot/Dot/etc.
Most people right now "use AI" the way I use a Swiss Army knife to lift the tab on a soda can, so everything she describes next lands like "The Turn" of a magic trick.
Every Sunday, "Sylvia-bot" sends 15 meal ideas and we choose 5-7 based on the week. It knows to assign the easy meals to the nights when our family calendar shows football practice. It knows to use ingredients 2-3 times in different ways, like a chef balancing COGS and flavors. It knows the components of a successful taco night.
We had years of weekly grocery orders for training, so it knows the brands, flavors, and sizes we prefer as a family. (I wonder how long it will take others to get to this point without the archive.)
We're still working on the idea that "grape tomatoes and cherry tomatoes are interchangeable" and "don't buy berries that aren't on sale!"
In 5 minutes, we approve the plan. It does the shopping on H-E-B, double-checks the pantry assumptions (e.g. soy sauce, spices, etc.), adds the kids' usual extras, and emails a clean PDF of every recipe for the week.
At the end of each week, we log our favorite to a 'recipe book' memory for future rotations.
For now, my wife will scan the cart (another 5 minutes) and confirm tomorrow's pickup window. Soon, I expect our Tesla will do the grocery run on its own.

A guy bought a used Ryzen 5800X3D and got banned from Valorant on login.
The previous owner cheated. The ban lives in the hardware. Then it spread to his motherboard and drives.
Riot support's answer: nothing can be done.

Mars' largest moon Phobos is slowly spiraling inward and could break apart to form a ring or collide with Mars in about 50 million years.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video appears to be a CGI simulation, not real spacecraft or telescope footage. NASA confirms Phobos is spiraling inward and may form a ring or collide with Mars in about 50 million years.

I applaud this level of petty research
If Texas A&M had never fired Kevin Sumlin and they continued giving him $2 million raises every 4 years and he kept his 66.2% win percentage, the Aggies today would have saved $102 million and had two more wins 👀
