Sophie Gastman tries to balance protein, fiber, carbs, and healthy fats in every meal, and she’s not scared to use convenience foods and store-cupboard staples when she’s low on energy or time.”There’s a lot of guilt that comes with buying certain ingredients,” Gastman, a nutritionist who fights misinformation and the author of “Find Your Healthy,” told Business Insider.Leaning on store-bought foods like fish sticks might be the difference between you making a homemade meal and ordering takeout, Gastman said.”In nutrition, it’s never black and white. There’s always the middle ground,” she said.Gastman shared the three convenience foods she leans on…

It’s 4 a.m., and Whitney Stefko Dover’s family “chief of staff” has already sent her the daily briefing.It’s called the “Daily Dover.”The early morning operations briefing helps Stefko Dover and her husband, Chris, coordinate their complicated lives with two young sons. An AI assistant scans their emails and calendar apps to map out the day ahead — school schedules, au pair or babysitter coverage, camp drop-offs, travel plans, family birthdays, recycling-bin reminders, and anything else that might otherwise rattle around in Stefko Dover’s brain until it is either handled or forgotten.At the bottom of the email, the AI drafts two…

Private companies penalized for their student-loan collection tactics may be making a comeback.As President Donald Trump transfers federal student loans from the Department of Education to the Treasury Department, defaulted borrowers will be routed through the Treasury’s “Cross-Servicing program,” which uses private contractors to collect federal debts. Two agencies in that system, Pioneer Credit Recovery and Transworld Systems, were previously sued or fined by federal watchdogs for “misleading” or “abusive” practices.Lawmakers and administration officials in Trump’s first term pushed to terminate contracts with private collectors over high costs and accusations of predatory behavior. Former President Joe Biden ended their contracts…

The GOAT is bounding out of retirement.Tennis great Serena Williams is back in the game, after openly endorsing GLP-1s for weight loss, and emphasizing how great her knees feel at her new, lower weight.”I’m moving better on Ro,” she said in a Super Bowl ad for Ro, a telehealth company that prescribes Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound. (Williams’ husband, Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian, sits on the board and is a major investor.)In the commercial, Williams said she can move more easily and enjoy steadier blood sugar levels throughout the day while she trains. In general, she feels “healthier” on her injectable…

Ask a tech worker how AI has changed their jobs, and chances are they’ll answer with a single number: hours saved.In interviews with Business Insider, Big Tech software engineers, product managers, and data scientists described using AI to compress hours of work into minutes. They use it to draft documents, summarize months of meetings, review code, automate reports, and more.Faster doesn’t always mean easier, however. One Amazon data scientist said AI is adding hours to his workweek as he builds the automation systems that should eventually save him time. Another Amazon employee said any time saved is quickly redirected to…

Let’s say you’ve got a 2013 Jeep Wrangler you want to sell. It’s a great car — low mileage, good condition, and a custom-lifted suspension. But there’s a lot of Jeep Wranglers out there on Facebook Marketplace — how do you make your listing stand out?For Rogelio Llamas, it was a little sex appeal that was missing. He added an image of a woman in a bikini top, denim shorts, and cowboy boots leaning on the hood of his Wrangler. Now there’s a way to draw eyeballs. Just one thing: The woman wasn’t real. Llamas generated her with AI.Llamas, who’s…

I’m a luxury travel reviewer, so I’ve spent years refining my standards for comfort. I’ve stayed at extraordinary hotels and resorts around the world — properties with the plushest bedding and robes, private infinity pools, dedicated butlers, and absolutely no need to take care of myself while on property. Once you get used to that level of comfort, it’s hard to un-know it.So when my sister started trying to convince me to attend a women’s retreat at an adult summer camp in Northern California, I was skeptical.I grew up camping, but stopped doing it over the yearsTo be fair, I’m…

For a brief moment toward the midpoint of the AI-generated film “Hell Grind,” I caught myself experiencing something unexpected: genuine emotion.As the male lead, Roco, gazed at a photo of his recently kidnapped love interest, he flashed back to memories of them growing up together in an orphanage. The sadness and yearning felt real.The sensation didn’t last.Mid-flashback, Roco and his AI-generated costars began laughing in an eerily synchronized fashion, their eyes peeled wide open. As I sat in New York’s Metro Private Cinema this week, scooping up handfuls of popcorn, the uncanny valley of AI came roaring back. Roco, the…
