Inside Sam Smith’s Recently Exposed Culinary Finsta

by admin February 27, 2026
written by admin

Welcome to Deep Dish, your weekly digest of culinary and entertainment updates. Previously, we explored the claims that Reese’s has altered its recipe.

Finstas (for those unfamiliar, fake Instagram accounts) are becoming an increasingly prevalent and tactical marketing asset for celebrities, seemingly making them more relatable and adding depth to their polished images. Martha Stewart has one, Kendrick Lamar has one, and now Sam Smith has come on board. Their finsta leans more towards food finsta territory, as the artist showcases their preferred dining experiences and indulgences. Despite the somewhat contrived “pop stars, they’re just like us” aspect of some celebrity finstas, Smith’s feels refreshingly genuine and somewhat delightful—and they have good taste, as far as I can tell!

This week also sees Resy and Tock merging forces, “boy kibble” attempting to penetrate our lexicon in a manner similar to girl dinner, and Dunkin’ offering buckets of iced coffee for sale.

Sam Smith has embarked on their food-influencer journey. This week, what was presumably their exclusive Instagram food account has gone quite public. The account, SamServed, features posts dating back to last November, where Smith raves about a Copenhagen eatery called Kebabistan. Currently, the account is rapidly increasing in followers—though at the time of this writing, the follower count is around 11,000, quite small compared to the over 14 million on Smith’s official account.

This week, while performing in San Francisco, Smith is visiting some local establishments, starting their videos with a playful “Hi piggies.” In one video, at Mission Chinese they exclaim “this food is amazing,” while seated at a table full of dishes. In another clip, they visit Molinari Delicatessen, posing for a shot in front of the cheese display. Which Bay Area spots will they explore while in the city? Will they make it to the East Bay? How long until they begin selling “Hi Piggies” merchandise? Numerous questions arise. —Sam Stone, staff writer

Earlier this week, the reservation service Resy issued a statement regarding “the merging of Resy and Tock venues,” anticipated to occur this summer. In simple terms: Tock is no longer, Resy reigns supreme, and if you’re aiming for those coveted reservations, you’d better acquire an American Express card immediately.

For years, reservation culture has spiraled out of control, even leading to reservation trading, purchasing, and bidding wars. As one reservation service consumes another, the race for tables is likely to intensify. Possibly the best method to secure a spot is also the oldest: become a regular. — S.S.

Boy kibble disgusts me—both in concept and terminology. In the interest of not giving it undue attention, I’ll summarize quickly. Where girl dinner represents a delightful (if slightly silly) assortment of snackable items like cheese and pretzels and salami, boy kibble (🤢) is comprised of bland ground beef and white rice, consumed purely for the protein content. It sounds unappetizing, it looks unappetizing, and I can’t shake the image of this meal being eaten from a dog bowl. Away with boy kibble (🤢). —Li Goldstein, associate newsletter editor

In the aftermath of a record-breaking blizzard, Dunkin’ (formerly Donuts) is offering 48-ounce buckets of iced coffee at select Massachusetts locations. That’s the spirit of New England, baby! If your 12 oz morning cup just wasn’t cutting it, the bucket can be yours for under $10, surprisingly. All facts considered, if I lived near a participating Dunkin’, I’d be rushing for the bucket, if for nothing else than the novelty and the keepsake. —L.G.

Epstein attempted to purchase a mansion in Morocco just days prior to his 2019 arrest.

by admin February 27, 2026

During that period, Epstein perceived the estate, owned by German waste tycoon Gunter Kiss, to be overpriced at €55m and his initial bid was so inadequate that Kiss felt insulted and declined to engage with Epstein further, a source with close ties to Epstein informed the BBC.

U.S. and Iran conclude ‘most intense’ nuclear discussions without an agreement — further negotiations to come

    Iranian negotiation team leaves for the talks location with the U.S. in Geneva, Switzerland, on February 26, 2026.
    Iranian Foreign Ministry | WANA | Via Reuters

    The recent session of discussions between the U.S. and Iran resulted in no significant advancements, with both parties deciding to prolong the talks, stated Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, who characterized the negotiations as the “most intense to date.”

    “We have achieved further progress in our diplomatic dialogue with the United States,” remarked Araghchi, while indicating that the two parties aimed to address crucial matters like the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Iran and “nuclear-related actions” in a more “detailed” fashion.

    According to Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr Al Busaidi, who is mediating the discussions, the parties reached “significant progress” during the high-stakes negotiations held in Geneva, Switzerland, and have agreed to reconvene next week in Vienna to focus on technical details.

    Al-Busaidi is traveling to Washington to confer with Vice President JD Vance and other U.S. officials on Friday, as reported by MS Now. Vance has previously played down the chance of the U.S. engaging in a lengthy war with Iran, despite escalating military rhetoric from both Tehran and Washington.

    Earlier this week, U.S. President Donald Trump noted that Iran appears more eager to reach a “deal” than the U.S., although Tehran’s refusal to promise not to develop nuclear weapons remains a principal obstacle hindering the agreement.

    In his State of the Union address this week, Trump emphasized, “They [Iran] want to agree to a deal, but we haven’t received those secret assurances: We will never possess a nuclear weapon.”

    As tensions remained elevated, the U.S. amassed a sizable military presence in the Middle East, with Trump cautioning last week that “bad things” could occur if Iran does not comply with a deal regarding the future of its nuclear aspirations.

    The third round of discussions this week was conducted under the leadership of U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, while Araghchi led the Iranian team.

    The Wall Street Journal reported earlier on Friday that the U.S. delegation presented stringent demands to the Iranian side, which included the destruction of the three primary nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, as well as the transfer of all remaining enriched uranium to the U.S. Iranian representatives have opposed these requirements.

    The U.S. team also demanded that any nuclear agreement must be indefinite with no so-called sunset clauses, according to the report citing unnamed U.S. officials.

    From nuclear initiatives to ballistic missiles

    The core of the negotiations revolves around Iran’s nuclear program, with the U.S. also pressing Tehran to limit its ballistic missile development. Tehran, however, maintains its right to enrich uranium domestically, citing its necessity for energy generation.

    Immediately prior to the latest discussions in Switzerland, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Iran’s unwillingness to engage in talks about its intercontinental ballistic missile development was a major roadblock.

    The Trump administration has also insisted that Tehran halt support for regional armed factions and stop repressing peaceful protests at home.

    Analysts have warned of potential military confrontation in the area if the two sides fail to achieve a substantial breakthrough, which could lead to upheaval in the broader Middle East and impact oil markets.

    “If there isn’t a diplomatic breakthrough in the upcoming days, the U.S. risks engaging in a military conflict with serious escalation potential,” cautioned Michael Hanna, director at the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based think tank.

    Hanna further highlighted that Washington’s priorities remain uncertain as it presses a broad array of demands on Tehran: “It’s not clear whether the administration itself has a concrete vision for its desired outcome.”

    Among Tehran’s priorities in the discussions is the removal of sanctions that have crippled its economy and triggered a currency crisis, igniting widespread protests against the Islamic Republic in December.

    The results of this week’s indirect talks will be crucial for the direction of oil prices as traders assess potential supply disruptions if tensions escalate.

    WTI futures decreased by 35 cents, or 0.24%, on Friday to $64.97 per barrel. Brent crude futures fell by 38 cents, or 0.30%, reaching $70.54 per barrel.

    “The market might wait for a full reaction until the extent of potential U.S. actions against Iran becomes clearer,” explained Warren Patterson, head of commodities strategy at ING Bank, predicting that any “targeted and brief” strikes that spare energy infrastructure — reminiscent of last year’s June strikes — with limited pushback from Iran could result in a short-lived spike in oil prices.

    However, if Washington opts for long-term measures coupled with more aggressive retaliation from Tehran, oil prices are likely to remain elevated due to supply concerns.

    Traders will also keep an eye on the OPEC+ output decision for April this weekend.

    “Should we expect de-escalation between the U.S. and Iran, it should allow weaker fundamentals to translate into a lower flat price — particularly if OPEC+ proceeds with supply increases starting in April, which we anticipate they will agree to this weekend,” Patterson stated.

    Netflix is abandoning negotiations to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio and streaming properties after the WBD board determined on Thursday that a revised bid from Paramount Skydance was a more advantageous proposition.

    Earlier this week, Paramount increased its offer for the complete acquisition of WBD to $31 per share, up from $30 per share, in cash only. This was another revision of Paramount’s numerous proposals in recent months — and after advancing with a hostile attempt to acquire the firm — and it has now displaced the arrangement between WBD and Netflix for selling the legacy media corporation’s studio and streaming assets for $27.75 per share.

    Last week, Netflix provided WBD with a seven-day waiver to reinitiate discussions with Paramount, which led to the increased offer. Paramount’s proposition encompasses the entirety of WBD, including its paid TV channels, such as CNN, TBS, and TNT.

    Netflix was allotted four business days to amend its own bid based on Paramount’s superior offer, as stated by the WBD board on Thursday.

    Instead, the streaming giant’s decision to withdraw concludes a prolonged narrative that featured revised propositions from both parties.

    “Netflix is an outstanding company and during this ordeal Ted, Greg, Spence, and all the team there have been remarkable collaborators to us. We wish them the best in the future,” WBD CEO David Zaslav expressed in a statement, referring to Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters, along with CFO Spencer Neumann. “Once our Board casts its vote to approve the Paramount merger agreement, it will generate significant value for our shareholders. We are enthusiastic about the prospects of a united Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery and are eager to commence our collaboration in narrative creation that captivates the globe.”

    Netflix’s stock surged 10% in after-hours trading on Thursday, while Paramount’s shares rose by 5%. Shares of Warner Bros. Discovery dipped by 2%.

    “The arrangement we deliberated would have delivered shareholder value with a clear pathway to regulatory confirmation,” Sarandos and Peters stated in a declaration. “Nonetheless, we have always adhered to our principles, and at the price needed to meet Paramount Skydance’s latest proposal, the agreement is no longer financially appealing, hence we are opting not to match the Paramount Skydance offer.”

    The latest Paramount proposition included a $7 billion breakup fee should the suggested merger fail to secure regulatory approval. The firm also consented to cover the $2.8 billion breakup fee that WBD would owe Netflix if that arrangement did not materialize.

    Sarandos informed CNBC’s Julia Boorstin in an interview last week that Netflix provided WBD the waiver to resume discussions with Paramount to offer shareholders transparency.

    “Paramount had been creating a lot of noise, inundating the situation with confusion for shareholders… including presenting all these hypothetical proposals and communicating directly with the shareholders while bypassing the Warner Bros. Discovery board,” Sarandos remarked at that time. “Thus, we granted the chance to deliver those shareholders precisely what they merit, which is comprehensive clarity and certainty.”

    However, Sarandos had refrained from commenting on whether Netflix would raise its own offer to match the revised Paramount proposal.

    And on Thursday, Sarandos participated in meetings at the White House to discuss the potential collaboration.

    “Warner Bros. is a premier organization, and we thank David Zaslav, Gunnar Wiedenfels, Bruce Campbell, Brad Singer, and the WBD Board for conducting a fair and rigorous process,” the Netflix co-CEOs articulated in their statement.

    “We believe we would have been strong guardians of Warner Bros.’ iconic brands, and that our agreement would have bolstered the entertainment industry while preserving and creating more production jobs in the U.S.,” they expressed. “But this transaction was always a ‘nice to have’ at the appropriate price, not a ‘must have’ at any cost.”

    Anthropic rejects Pentagon’s updated conditions, remaining resolute on lethal autonomous systems and extensive surveillance.

    Dario Amodei, the CEO, made his statement just under 24 hours prior to the deadline set in the Pentagon’s ultimatum.

    Hayden Field is the senior AI reporter for The Verge. With over five years covering the AI beat, her contributions have also been featured in CNBC, MIT Technology Review, Wired UK, among others.

    Less than 24 hours prior to the deadline imposed by the Pentagon’s ultimatum, Anthropic has declined the Department of Defense’s request for unrestricted access to its AI.

    This is the culmination of a heated exchange of public statements, social media discussions, and clandestine negotiations, pivoting on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s wish to renegotiate existing contracts with AI labs linked to the military. Yet, Anthropic remains firm on its two established boundaries: no mass surveillance of U.S. citizens, and no lethal autonomous weaponry (or arms allowed to eliminate targets without human intervention). OpenAI and xAI have reportedly accepted the new stipulations, while Anthropic’s refusal led to CEO Dario Amodei being called to the White House this week for discussions with Hegseth, where the Secretary allegedly presented an ultimatum for the CEO to acquiesce by the end of the business day Friday or face consequences.

    In a statement released late Thursday, Amodei stated, “I have a profound belief in the critical role of employing AI to protect the United States and other democratic nations, as well as to overcome our autocratic rivals. Accordingly, Anthropic has proactively endeavored to implement our models for the Department of War and the intelligence community.”

    He noted that the company has “never objected to specific military missions or sought to restrict the utilization of our technology in an arbitrary way,” but in “a limited number of scenarios, we believe AI can weaken, rather than support, democratic principles” — specifically pointing to mass domestic surveillance and completely autonomous weaponry. (Amodei remarked that “partially autonomous weapons … are essential for safeguarding democracy” and that fully autonomous arms may sometime “become vital for our national defense,” emphasizing that “currently, cutting-edge AI systems are simply not dependable enough to operate fully autonomous weaponry.” He did not exclude the possibility of Anthropic submitting to military usage of fully autonomous weapons in the future but indicated they are not prepared at this time.)

    The Pentagon had already reportedly urged major defense contractors to evaluate their reliance on Anthropic’s Claude, a move that could mark initial steps to label the firm a “supply chain risk” – a public warning the Pentagon has recently issued (a designation usually reserved for national security threats). Additionally, the Pentagon was reportedly contemplating invoking the Defense Production Act to ensure compliance from Anthropic.

    In his statement, Amodei asserted that the Pentagon’s “threats do not modify our stance: we cannot, in good faith, comply with their demands.” He further added, “If the Department opts to sever ties with Anthropic, we will strive to ensure a seamless transfer to another provider, mitigating any disruption to current military strategies, operations, or essential missions. Our models will remain accessible under the broad terms we have proposed for as long as necessary.”

    Neanderthals appear to have been particularly attracted to modern human women

    Neanderthals appear to have been particularly attracted to modern human women

    by admin February 26, 2026
    written by admin

    It’s now well established that as modern humans moved out of Africa they encountered and interbred with Neanderthals, leaving a substantial amount of Neanderthal-derived DNA scattered across our genomes. Less commonly noted is that some Neanderthal genomes we’ve sequenced also contain stretches of modern human DNA.

    Not every modern person carries the same Neanderthal segments; individuals inherit different fragments by chance. There are also regions, called “Neanderthal deserts,” where traces of Neanderthal ancestry appear absent. The most notable desert is the entire X chromosome, which raises questions about whether this pattern reflects selection on genes there or mating behaviors.

    Researchers Alexander Platt, Daniel N. Harris, and Sarah Tishkoff at the University of Pennsylvania performed the reverse analysis by inspecting the X chromosomes from the few complete Neanderthal genomes available. They found a strong enrichment of modern-human sequences on the X as well, and interpret this pattern as evidence of biased mating — with Neanderthal males preferentially mating with modern human females and their descendants.

    What form of selection might this be?

    Because modern humans and Neanderthals evolved separately for a long time, some degree of genetic incompatibility is plausible. Many proteins work together in complex interaction networks, and the genes in those networks coevolve — a change in one gene often leads to compensatory changes in others. Over time, reintroducing the original version of a gene can disrupt the network and reduce fitness.

    Consequently, introducing certain Neanderthal alleles into modern-human genomes (or vice versa) could be disruptive and lower carriers’ fitness, so those alleles would be selected against and lost over generations. At the same time, some segments would vanish by chance — the genome is large, and an expanding modern human population could dilute the genetic contributions of other groups. Disentangling the effects of selection versus random drift can be challenging.

    Perplexity introduces "Computer," an AI agent that delegates tasks to other AI agents

    Perplexity introduces “Computer,” an AI agent that delegates tasks to other AI agents

    by admin February 26, 2026
    written by admin

    Perplexity has introduced “Computer,” a new service that lets users delegate tasks and watch them executed by a system that coordinates multiple agents using different models.

    The company says Computer, currently available to Perplexity Max subscribers, is “a system that creates and executes entire workflows” and “capable of running for hours or even months.”

    The user specifies a desired outcome—examples include “plan and execute a local digital marketing campaign for my restaurant” or “build me an Android app that helps me do a specific kind of research for my job.” Computer then decomposes the goal into subtasks, assigns them to multiple agents as necessary, and runs the models Perplexity judges best for each task.

    The core reasoning engine runs Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6, while Gemini is used for deep research, Nano Banana handles image generation, Veo 3.1 covers video production, Grok takes on lightweight tasks where speed matters, and ChatGPT 5.2 is used for “long-context recall and wide search.”

    That best-model-for-the-task strategy differs from some competing products like Claude Cowork, which rely solely on Anthropic’s models.

    All of this runs in the cloud with prebuilt integrations. “Every task runs in an isolated compute environment with access to a real filesystem, a real browser, and real tool integrations,” Perplexity says.

    The concept mirrors what some power users were already cobbling together and aims to make that approach accessible to people who don’t want to handle the setup themselves. Users had been combining multiple models and matching them to particular tasks based on perceived strengths, sometimes using MCP (Model Context Protocol) to grant those models access to data and applications on local machines. Perplexity Computer takes a different path but pursues the same objective: have AI agents using carefully chosen models to work with your own files, services, and applications.

    There is also OpenClaw, which can be seen as an immediate predecessor to this idea.

    The story so far

    If you haven’t been following the OpenClaw craze, here’s a quick recap: originally named ClawdBot and later Moltbot, OpenClaw was an agentic AI tool that leveraged large language models to run autonomously in the background on your local machine, handling everything from sorting through your email history to building websites — essentially whatever you could imagine.

    Lenovo’s upcoming gaming laptop may take the form of an adaptable foldable known as the Legion Go Fold, which can serve as both a laptop and a handheld gaming PC featuring two screen sizes, as detailed by WindowsLatest. Leaked visuals of the product depict it connected to a keyboard and controllers, with a hinge situated in the center of the POLED display, enabling an expansion from 7.7 inches to 11.6 inches.

    Users can attach controllers whether the display is folded or unfolded, utilize the display in a vertical split-screen setting, or connect it to the keyboard in laptop mode, resulting in a total of four distinct configurations merged into a single device. Even the controllers are versatile: the right-hand controller can function as a vertical mouse in “FPS Mode,” much like the mouse feature on the Legion Go 2 or the Nintendo Switch 2. The right controller also boasts a built-in display that exhibits performance data and preferences and serves as a touchpad.

    The Legion Go Fold is rumored to feature an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 48 Whr battery. According to WindowsLatest, Lenovo is expected to unveil it as a concept product at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona next week, although it may not be available for purchase right away, if at all.

    Discovering worth through AI and Industry 5.0 evolution

    by admin February 26, 2026
    written by admin

    In collaboration withEY

    For many years, the transformation towards Industry 4.0 has focused on the merging of clever technologies such as AI, cloud computing, IoT, robotics, and digital twins. Industry 5.0 signifies a crucial transition from merely integrating new technologies to scaling and orchestrating them effectively. The aim of this interconnected network of technologies in Industry 5.0 becomes more refined: to enhance human capabilities rather than only automating tasks, while also promoting environmental sustainability.

    Industry 5.0 has brought forth a dramatically new style of collaboration among humans and machines, one that breaks down data silos and optimizes infrastructure, operations, and resource utilization to challenge traditional business models and generate innovative forms of enterprise value. However, without diligent tracking of value creation, investments might be squandered on marginal efficiency improvements rather than on strategic expansion.

    “To harness the advantages of Industry 5.0, businesses must shift their focus from merely cutting costs and improving efficiency to emphasizing growth, resilience, and human-centered results,” states Sachin Lulla, EY Americas leader in industrials and energy transformation. “This calls for not just embracing new technologies, but also adopting novel working methods—where humans and machines work together, and value is assessed not just in savings, but in newly generated opportunities.”

    A survey conducted by MIT Technology Review Insights involving 250 industry leaders globally shows that the majority of industrial investments still aim at achieving efficiency. While the data indicates that human-focused and sustainable applications deliver greater value, they remain underfunded. The research indicates that many organizations are not fully capitalizing on the potential value of Industry 5.0 due to a combination of:

    • Cultural, skill, and collaboration obstacles.
    • Short-term and misaligned technology expenditures.
    • Use-case prioritization that emphasizes efficiency over growth, sustainability, and well-being.

    According to research from EY and Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford, the challenge in achieving Industry 5.0 transformation is not merely about remedying technological issues; it also involves strengthening human-oriented components such as strategy, culture, and leadership. Corporations are making significant investments in digital transformation, but often not in ways that fully unlock the human potential inherent in Industry 5.0.

    “We’re not simply engaging in digital efforts for their own sake, which I refer to as ‘chasing the digital fairies,’” remarks Chris Ware, general manager of iron ore digital at Rio Tinto. “We need clarity on which projects we pursue and the reasoning behind them. Each sector has its own specific roadmap to deliver optimal value.”
