Looking to elevate your brand with a custom hat?
Don’t make it just any hat. Make it a Branded Bills hat.
Why? They make quality merch (especially hats) that people actually want to wear.
Don’t just take it from us, here is what one of their recent clients has to say:
“I think Branded Bills is memorable because it is more of a lifestyle brand for us. It’s not just employees wearing them to work or technicians wearing them out in the field; they're wearing them to bowling alleys, sporting events, etc, and they’re repping our brand which is exactly what we want.” Rebecca Ferguson, Empire CAT

AI Deepfakes on Video Calls: Reality Defender's New Weapon
Zoom meetings with Elon Musk? Not so fast. Reality Defender's new tool aims to zap real-time video deepfakes before they can say "To the moon!" As AI-powered scams evolve from Nigerian princes to digital doppelgangers, this startup is determined to keep your video calls fraud-free. Their plug-in analyzes faces faster than you can say "You're on mute," alerting you to potential fakes. While it's not publicly available yet, it might soon be as common as that antivirus software quietly judging your browsing habits. Until then, remember: just because it looks like your boss doesn't mean it's not an AI trying to steal the company credit card.

GenAI: The Robot Artist's Toolkit Unveiled
Ever wondered what's in a robot's art supply box? Turns out, it's full of fancy tech like Transformer models, Diffusion models, and GANs. These AI tools are the digital paintbrushes behind those uncannily human-like texts, images, and even code. Large Language Models are the chatty know-it-alls, while GANs are the competitive twins constantly trying to outdo each other. And let's not forget Diffusion models, the masters of turning noise into Picasso-worthy pics. As these AI Picassos get better, they're painting a future where creativity might just have an on/off switch. Time to befriend a robot or dust off that easel?

Adobe's AI Video Tools: Firefly Takes Flight
Adobe's jumping into the AI video game with its Firefly Video Model, but don't expect to be making blockbusters just yet. Their new tools can extend clips by a whopping two seconds, generate five-second masterpieces from text or images, and even add some wobbly cables to your footage for that authentic "oops, I forgot to secure the set" look. While it might not replace your favorite director, it could save you from reshooting when an actor blinks at the wrong moment. Just remember, this AI won't write dialog or compose music – it's more like a really impressive intern who's great at B-roll and background noise.

Lenovo's AI Ambitions: From PCs to Pagodas
Lenovo's CEO is painting a rosy picture of our AI-powered future. Apparently, we're on the cusp of a "hybrid AI" revolution that'll boost productivity, solve world hunger, and probably make your coffee too. The tech giant is pushing AI PCs harder than a used car salesman, promising a world where your personal AI follows you from device to device like an clingy ex. They're even digitizing ancient pagodas, because nothing says "cutting-edge tech" like a thousand-year-old wooden building. But hey, at least they're optimistic about AI not stealing all our jobs... yet.
