Coverbeeld van 10 Things #329

This 10Things issue we explore the shifting ground beneath beauty, intelligence, and identity. From the filtered perfection of AI-altered faces to Nora Turato’s examination of language in the age of LLMs, we’re asking what’s real, what’s changing, and what’s next. Mark Zuckerberg claims social media is over, while thinkers and makers imagine new futures with “spells and vibes.” We examine circular fashion’s pragmatic turn, the price of retail therapy, and the limits of collaboration. Plus: the sensory world of Cig Harvey, philosophical takes on color, and evolving ideas about intelligence itself.

Enjoy, Your Majesty
