BMW models like the 7 Series Protection and X5 Protection VR6 are designed to safely cocoon occupants from even the most serious of outside threats, including grenade blasts. However, if you're a high-profile individual and only expect to deal with guns being fired at you, these models are a little overkill. That's where the new BMW Concept 7 Protection comes in.

From the outside, the Concept 7 Protection looks like any regular 7 Series, and that's the point. It's designed to be more discreet than BMW's more heavily armored models, making it ideal for private and corporate customers. Even more important than its subtle looks, it's said to retain the same handling characteristics as a normal 7 Series.

Shopify CEO says employees' 'slop grenades' are making more work for everyone else - Business Insider

Shopify's CEO said AI can make work more difficult with 'slop grenades.' AI makes tech jobs easier. Right? Not always, Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke said during an interview on "The Knowledge Project" podcast, released on Tuesday. His take: AI helps employees produce more material, more quickly — without taking responsibility for whether it is useful or correct. "We call those 'slop grenades' that people toss at each other," he said. "And that's definitely a bad thing. "The problem, he said, is that the tools make it easy to pass along work that has not been properly evaluated. He offered an example: Someone might send an unnecessarily long AI-written email, forcing its recipient to use another large language model to summarize it. "Why did we invent decompression and recompression? " he said. "This is terrible. "Shopify has aggressively embraced AI. The e-commerce platform has rolled out AI tools for agents. Internally, Lütke said it's internal agent, River, handles a large share — possibly as much as half — of the company's production code pull requests. Lütke said AI is most valuable when it makes people's thinking clearer and more concise.

LOWSBase model's performance is sleepy, sporty looks don’t match the comfort-first vibe, more powerful powertrains come with a big price increase. VERDICTIf comfort and style are what you’re after, the RX Hybrid has lots of both. By Drew DorianOverview Not everyone wants an SUV that gets their heart racing, and Lexus built a crossover for those folks when they made the soothing Lexus RX Hybrid. That’s not to say that it isn’t quick—the RX500h and plug-in hybrid RX450h+ models offer plenty of pickup. Those two models cost a lot more than the sleepier base RX350h, though. All the variants offer a comfortable cabin crafted from upscale materials and peppered with contemporary tech features. The RX Hybrid is a two-row affair, and there’s plenty of passenger space for four adults to ride in comfort. Fuel economy is good too, especially in the RX350h, which boasts the highest fuel economy numbers of the bunch.
