In preparation for the TikTok ban, I've been trying out Xiaohongshu (Red Note), the Chinese app that has a very TikTok-like feel and interface. So far, it's fascinating, as it's becoming a mix of native Chinese content and English-speaking videos. It could potentially be a good alternative.

Tech giants are hedging their bets. While Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Amazon have developed or are developing their own gen AI solutions, they’ve all invested in or worked with third parties.
