Nicole Ethridge before and after her hair transplant. This story is based on an interview with Nicole Ethridge, 39, a Southern Marylander who works in finance and is also an influencer. It has been edited for length and clarity. My hair had always been thin, but I first noticed it coming out soon after the birth of my daughter, now 19. It was mainly at the front, which made it noticeable. I was self-conscious and particularly hated going to hairdressing salons, where it was impossible to hide the problem. The dermatologist diagnosed me with traction alopecia, sometimes caused by tight hairstyles and other things that pull on your hair. I started wearing wigsI started wearing wigs that mimic your hairline. They were expensive, ranging from $300 to $700, but they don't last forever. I'd go through as many as nine a year.

Cerebras Systems (CBRS -10.52%) priced its initial public offering (IPO) at $185 a share in May, and the stock closed its first day of trading at $311.07. As I write, shares are roughly $165 -- below the IPO price, about 47% under that first close, and near the stock's lowest close since it went public. The business, meanwhile, keeps growing. The artificial intelligence (AI) chipmaker expects $880 million to $890 million of core revenue for 2026, up about 74% over last year at the midpoint. Core revenue is the company's preferred non-GAAP (adjusted) sales number. Any fast-growing AI chipmaker invites a comparison to Nvidia (NVDA -1.43%). And on revenue alone, Cerebras today is about where Nvidia's data center business was nearly a decade ago. Nvidia had a profitable business to rely onIn fiscal 2017 (the year ended Jan. 29, 2017), Nvidia's data center business took in $830 million of revenue, almost two and a half times the $339 million it posted in fiscal 2016. That's around what Cerebras expects to pull in this year. In fiscal 2026, that business posted $193.7 billion, a 68% rise from the year before and more than 200 times its fiscal 2017 revenue.

Nicolas Cage is making it clear — he’s not an “AI-friendly actor.” The 62-year-old actor spoke out against a tech giant during an appearance at New York Comic Con on Saturday. He alleged that he was asked to sign an artificial intelligence waiver for the television series “Spider Noir.”“Amazon is a very AI-friendly company, to the tune of $50 billion invested in OpenAI,” Cage said on stage. “I am not an AI-friendly actor, so it’s like, connect those dots! I’m not a member of their club. I didn’t sign the waiver to let him use AI on ‘Spider-Noir.’ I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again, but that’s OK.”Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The use of AI continues to be a major sticking point across Hollywood. Industry unions including SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild recently secured protections against technology in new contracts. But as AI evolves and AI actors like Tilly Norwood continue to make headlines, it’s still unclear exactly how the industry will be affected. “Spider-Noir,” which premiered in May, is a “Spider-Man” project that put a 1930s crime-thriller spin on the web-slinging superhero.
