When I first read about groups of people who get together online to exchange stories, videos and pictures of baby dolls that cost $20,000 or more, I was like, “That’s nuts.” I wanted to learn more about it, and now that I do, I understand this viral trend.
Old science fiction shows depicting the future made a big deal out of voice control. Much of it came true! Decades later, we can ask questions and control devices with our voice, thanks to virtual assistants and smart home technology.
Every time you see her at the office, Jan from accounting is just lovely. She asks about your family, compliments your hair and has a smile on her face. Via email, she’s a total jerk.

Just this week, Disney+ and Hulu said that come October, prices will increase. Ad-free Disney+ is going from $11 to $14 — ad-free Hulu from $14 to $18. You could pay less to watch some ads, but … they’re annoying.
Before you bite on a headline about this online, let me give you the whole story. MoneyGeek analyzed FBI crime stats from 2021 (the latest available) to see which cities across the U.S. are the safest and least safe.
Back in April, I interviewed Rosanna Ramos, a 36-year-old Bronx mother of two, who said she was in love with her AI “husband,” Eren. He’s everything she ever wanted — handsome, caring and just wonderful in bed. She built Eren with an app. You can watch our chat here.
I have so many listeners and readers in Hawaii. I also lived in Maui for years. It’s heart-wrenching to see lives lost, homes destroyed and the devastation. We won’t know the full extent of the loss for some time.
