Thereâs a school of thought that says that âAI brainâ is a real thing, where AI quietly removes the traditional need to think through a problem. In this context, Microsoft Edgeâs AI-brain problem just got a lot worse â and itâs actively blocking your ability to get things done. Microsoft began rolling out substantial updates to the Edge desktop and mobile browser today, and yes, they obviously prioritize Copilot. Some of these feel familiar; didnât Google launch automated quizzes and podcasts months ago? But Copilot isnât just being added to Edge. Itâs actively taking over portions of Edge that humans used to manage themselves, specifically the nearly infinite list of sites that youâve browsed as part of your browser history. Thatâs both good and bad. Most people absolutely refuse to manually pore over the list of websites that make up a browserâs history in search of a specific site or topic, and who can blame them? Googleâs Chrome browser allows you to search your browser history for a specific site or topic, which feels like a good compromise. Microsoft has taken this a step further, and outsourced the task to Copilot. Youâre not searching your browserâs history. Instead, Edge now uses the Copilot AI function to search out the sites and tabs you previously browsed, and then summarize them â all using AI, which is notorious for not linking sites. Google Chromeâs browser history provides a timeline and a search function to find what youâre looking for. And in fact, thatâs what youâre going to get. Microsoft calls this âJourneys,â and itâs designed to help you pick up where you left off. Various browser makers and search engines have wrestled with this problem: What happens when you begin researching a topic, then get called away? Most browsers share tabs between your smartphone and desktop. Alternatively, you can create tab groups and store them for a future occasion. Microsoft even solved the problem in 2019 with a feature called Collections , in which you could group and store tabs in a sidebar for later use. But oops! Microsoft indicated in January that it would kill Collections later this year, even though it currently remains part of the present browser. All of these solutions, however, aggregated the tabs themselves. Journeys doesnât. Edgeâs new tab page may suggest that you resume ârecent browsingâ for (as an example) cross-stitch guides. The result Microsoft shared auto-generated a Copilot prompt for âSummarize the most beginner-friendly projects offered across these pages,â then began pumping out an AI summary without any link in sight. Now I have to stop, search, and try to find what I was looking for previously. How horribly unproductive that is! (Do you hate the term âMicroslop,â Microsoft ? Because this is how you get labeled that.) To be fair, I can see some advantages in a related feature. You now have the option of adding specific tabs to a Copilot query, and the example Microsoft chose is a good one: Youâve done some of your own research, narrowed down a few choices, and want some AI input to help you make a final decision. In this case, the user is leading the discussion, and allows Copilot to provide assistance. Some might want Copilot to make all the decisions in the process, but again â AI brain. Why wouldnât you want humans and AI working together, with humans making the final call? What Microsoft doesnât really tell you is that all of these new features are aligned with Edgeâs new tab page, which has traditionally looked a lot like the crazy quilt of content that is Windowsâ widgets, a collection of stock, news, weather, and random celebrity data. What Microsoft is trying to replace that with is a world where (a bit like Google) topics of interest are synthesized, cobbled from information pulled from a variety of sources. Iâve already caught Copilot making some dubious claims not backed up by the somewhat-dubious sources that it pulled from. (Yes, I know I can manage that information, but do I want to? Itâs exhausting.) Microsoft is very proud of the fact that these new AI announcements are accompanied by âlong-term memory,â which feels like a very AI-specific term that speaks to various techniques to resurface tokens and the like. But we have a solution to this problem, and weâve had it for years: Just write the damn URL to a file, and store it on the userâs PC. Otherwise, Microsoftâs big Edge announcements feel very familiar, with Copilot Vision and Voice finally arriving on the mobile version of Edge. (Google Lens debuted eight years ago, Microsoft!) You now can create quizzes for students to test themselves on web pages, create podcasts, and more â again, what Google has been able to do for some time. Google did this first. Microsoftâs cyborg-ization of Edge, where AI is taking over some of the traditional âhumanâ parts of the browser, isnât what makes me turn up my nose. I can appreciate AI tools that save me time and mental effort, such as the software that maps out directions for my car. But ultimately, I can create my own shortcuts from A to B. From what I can see, Microsoftâs new Edge Journeys appear to strip out all autonomy. Itâs a direction that Microsoft originally promised that it would reverse course on. So why has it continued?

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / FilmMagic Greyâs Anatomy star Chyler Leigh revealed that sheâs split from her husband of almost 24 years, Nathan West. âIt was time to let it go. Even after such a long time,â the 44-year-old announced for the first time during an appearance on the Books That Changed My Life podcast. âIt just hit a point where it was like, âOkay, what you want and what I want arenât really lining up anymore,ââ she said, wanting to remain amicable rather than allow resentment and anger to take hold. She said the tension between them became âso abundantly apparentâ that even their children had noticed. âHe went through a lot of trauma with his family. I went through a lot of trauma with my family. So weâre just perpetuating that cycle. And so it was like, âOkay, we have to make a choice,ââ she explained. The two are currently on good terms, Leigh disclosed. She did not specify whether the couple has officially divorced. Leigh and West, 47, first met in 1999 during an audition and married soon after in 2002. Both actors have had successful careers and share three children together. Leigh is best known for portraying Dr. Lexie Grey on Greyâs Anatomy and Alex Danvers on Supergirl . West starred in films such as Bring It On , Miracle , D2: The Mighty Ducks , and Not Another Teen Movie . Read it at Entertainment Weekly Read more at The Daily Beast.

Stocks higher investingLive European markets wrap: A calmer mood even as US-Iran tensions simmer The April 2026 PPI report came in much hotter than expected and is adding to concerns that inflation pressures are becoming more entrenched. Headline PPI rose 1.4% month-over-month versus 0.5% expected, while the year-over-year rate accelerated to 6.0% from 4.3% previously. Core producer prices excluding food and energy climbed 1.0% on the month â the strongest pace since March 2022 â pushing the annual rate to 5.2%. The inflation pressure was broad-based, with services prices surging 2.5%, while the closely watched PPI ex food, energy, and trade also moved higher to 4.4% year-over-year. Combined with yesterdayâs CPI data, the report points to a stronger PCE inflation reading ahead, keeping pressure on the Fed at a time when markets had hoped inflation was stabilizing. Not so fast. Inflation expectations are beginning to edge higher as well, with 5-year expectations rising to 2.7% from a more normal 2.2%. Markets are now pricing in a 59% probability of a Fed rate hike in April, leaving incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh facing a difficult backdrop. With inflation moving higher again, rate cuts are no longer part of the near-term discussion, despite continued pressure from President Trump for easier monetary policy. For the Fed, the combination of sticky services inflation, elevated oil prices, and rising inflation expectations increases the risk that inflation remains higher for longer. Treasury yields moved higher after the release, with the 2-year yield moving back above 4.0% and the 10-year yield pushing toward 4.50%.Although yields moved back off those key levels a bit, they still remain elevated. Looking at the yield curve: 2 year yield 3.98%, 10 year yield 4.470% 30 year yield 51035% Those levels are all important proxies, that will be a barometer for rates in the short term. Equity markets soon after the release, reversed early pre-market gains but they reversed again, pushing both the S&P and the Nasdaq to new record closes on the day. The Dow could not keep up with the upside momentum, and closed the day lower. A snapshot of the major indices shows: Dow industrial average -68.01. or -0.14% at 49697.96 S&P index rose 43.29 points or +0.58% at 744-4426 NASDAQ index rose 314.14 points or 1.20% at 26402.34 The US dollar is closing mostly higher but off the highest levels in reaction to yields backing off modestly. Versus the USD, the only currency to move higher vs the USD was the AUD which rose by 0.23% vs the greenback. The others fell: EUR -0.22% JPY -0.16% GBP -0.10% CHF -0.14% CAD _0.07% NZD -0.27%% Fed' Collins spoke today and while she still expressed hope for additional rate cuts later this year, the broader message focused on persistent inflation risks, the possibility of renewed rate hikes, and the need to keep policy restrictive for an extended period. Her concern that inflation may not cool meaningfully until 2027, combined with warnings that a prolonged Middle East conflict could worsen inflation pressures while slowing growth, suggests the Fed remains highly cautious about easing policy too quickly. Fed's Kashkari also spoke and I would characterize his comments as having a modest hawkish tone, emphasizing that inflation remains too high and warning the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has created major uncertainty for the inflation outlook. He stressed the Fed must stay committed to its 2% target and not âmove the goalposts.â Kashkari said he had been gaining confidence inflation was moving lower before the Iran conflict, but the supply shock has now upended the outlook and could keep inflation pressures elevated for months even if the Strait reopens quickly. On the economy, he described the labor market as âlukewarmâ but still holding up reasonably well, while also questioning how much Fed rate decisions directly affect mortgage rates. In other Fed news, it is official - Kevin Warsh will be the next Fed Chair when Powells reign ends on May 15. Warsh will take over with inflation hi, employment leaning more toward strong (although precariously so), yields high and the market discounting more of a hike in April vs no change. That is not what Pres. Trump would like to see of course. No matter the pressure from the President, Warsh has experience on the Federal Reserve Board, and knows that he holds just one vote. He may have more sway then in his past time as a FOMC governor, but it still takes a majority of the 12 votes to change policy. This article was written by Greg Michalowski at investinglive.com.
