Apple's AirTag 4-Pack Returns to Its Last Prime Day Price, Each Tag Costs Less Than Buying Separately
We've all lost stuff, right? It's so easy to do even without factoring in things like kids taking things and flushing them down the toilet, or cats knocking precious items behind impossible-to-move furniture. The worst part is not knowing where these things are, but there are a few modern ways to get over that issue, thanks to things like Apple AirTags.
See at Amazon
If you're an Apple user who is prone to misplacing things, or having them misplaced on your behalf, then we've got an incredible deal for you today. You can currently get your hands on not one, not two, but four Apple AirTags for just $75, thanks to a 24% discount on Amazon. That's just $19 per AirTag, and that's a small price to pay to avoid losing your keys for the seventeenth time this year.
Track It
Apple AirTags are the perfect way to keep an eye on things if you're already in the Apple ecosystem. All you need to do is attach them or put them inside whatever you want to track, and you'll be able to find whatever it is with ease. This is because you can open up the 'Find My' app, and you'll be able to easily find whatever it is. Not only will you be able to actually see the location on a map, but you'll also be able to make the AirTag make a noise if you're near it but still can't see it.
You can even switch an AirTag into lost mode ot have it ping you when it's detected on the Find My network, and all of this communication is completely anonymous, so you don't have to worry about data going awry either. These make it easier than ever to find your keys, wallets, or even plonk it on a collar on your cat if you're worried about how far and wide they end up roaming. That's the kind of peace of mind that money can't normally buy you, but just this once, it totally can.
Four of these would normally cost you $99, and while most people are happy to pay that price for them, there's no denying how much more attractive these are when you knock 24% off of them and bring them down to $75. As with a lot of these deals though, we have no way of knowing how long Amazon will keep it live for, so we recommend snatching them up if you like the price.

MrBeast used AI to create YouTube thumbnails. People weren't pleased
YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson—aka MrBeast—is the face of the online video-sharing platform. He tops the platform's most-subscribed list, with more than 400 million people following his exploits. Online video has made Donaldson rich, with his business worth an estimated $1 billion. However, the megastar is now embroiled in controversy following the launch of a new AI-powered thumbnail generator. The tool, developed with the analytics platform Viewstats, was promoted in now-deleted videos by Donaldson as a way for creators to easily generate eye-catching thumbnails—including the ability to swap faces and styles with existing popular videos. The product was condemned by fellow YouTubers and artists, who accused MrBeast of facilitating the theft of their creative work and brand identity. Prominent creators like Jacksepticeye (i.e. Seán McLoughlin) publicly criticized the tool after his own logo and thumbnail style were used in promotional materials without his consent, calling the practice deeply unethical and harmful to the creative community. 'I hate what this platform is turning into. Fuck AI,' Jacksepticeye posted on X. (Neither McLoughlin nor Donaldson responded to Fast Company 's request for comment.) Donaldson quickly acknowledged the concerns, pledging to make changes to the tool. 'I'll build this more in a way to be inspiration for artists/a tool they use and not replace them,' he posted on X. Still, the incident has gained momentum, provoking angry responses and heated debate about the endorsement of such an AI product. For example, another YouTuber, Eric Pointcrow, said of Donaldson: 'What a piece of work.' The mini-drama has riled the YouTube community in a way few other issues have, touching on a common occurrence in the space: the copying of video thumbnails. Why? 'I think there are several things going on here,' says Jess Maddox, associate professor at the University of Alabama, who studies platform dynamics on sites like YouTube. Primarily, Maddox believes that underlying the controversy is 'some good old-fashioned YouTube drama.' The platform often responds as a mob to things it deems offensive, so it's unsurprising that this incident has triggered so much anger. 'YouTube pioneered online pile-on culture, in which everyone wants a piece of someone else's name, image, or likeness,' says Maddox. 'But it's actually quite hard to go after MrBeast, who's one of the biggest and most successful creators. He's almost too big to fail, or ride his coattails.' Beyond that, Maddox points out that the technology—and the broader fear of automation —is also driving the intensity of the response. 'AI in the creator economy is incredibly controversial right now,' says Maddox. 'Many do view it as theft, and other creators view not using it as a badge of honor—that they can say with pride they either do all the work themselves or pay their team fairly to do so.' Donaldson's decision to launch the AI product also came just after YouTube admitted that it used a subset of the 20 billion videos on its platform to train Google's Veo 3 video generation AI model—a fact that may have further amplified the backlash. Yet a recent small survey of U.K. YouTube creators suggests that up to four in five creators are already using AI themselves, saving nearly eight hours of work each week. 'What's caused this backlash isn't just the tool, it's what it represents,' agrees Dom Smales, cofounder of GloMotion Studios, a digital entertainment studio and longstanding voice in the YouTube space. 'When the most powerful creator on the platform automates creativity using other creators' work, it hits a nerve. It further exposes the growing gap between mega-creators and everyone else, which has to be handled carefully as this is a community above everything else.' This combination of factors helps explain why the criticism has been so strong and so sustained. 'MrBeast clearly has enough money to pay for this work, so the fact that he isn't doesn't paint him in the most positive light,' says Maddox. The idea that such AI systems might worsen existing problems is also top of mind. 'If the biggest YouTube creator out there is using AI, I think many creators are nervous this will unfairly exacerbate the divide between big creators and mega-creators—never mind the divide between those and micro- and nano-creators,' Maddox says. 'AI is a labor issue, and it risks making an already unequal creator economy even more unequal.' Yet Smales cautions that people shouldn't be so quick to vilify AI—so long as it's used responsibly. 'AI is here to stay and can be a superb tool to level creators up and allow further democratization of the creator economy,' he says. 'I'm building businesses that use it, but I believe it has to be developed with creators, not just deployed on them.'

AllSpice's platform is the GitHub for electrical engineering teams
There is no shortage of workflow collaboration tools, like Slack or Google Docs, in addition to industry-specific ones like GitHub for software developers. Now, a startup called AllSpice has found success with its bet that electrical hardware engineering teams need their own collaboration platform, too. AllSpice's platform sits between existing workflow software. It allows hardware teams to collaborate on the types of documents they traditionally work in — that don't easily translate over Slack and email — like PCB files and electronic CAD files, both of which are used to design circuit boards. Engineers can single out and comment on design aspects in these types of documents, on AllSpice, the same way software engineers can comment on specific lines of code through GitHub. Kyle Dumont, co-founder and CTO of AllSpice, told TechCrunch that the startup has been able to find success because they haven't tried to build a new end-to-end collaboration platform but rather fill the gap between the software solutions that hardware teams were already using. 'The teams that we were talking to had really integral tools already in their workflows,' Dumont said. 'They had these electrical CAD tools, they had [product lifecycle management] tools, they had existing workflows that we knew the product that we launched had to operate between.' This learning came from research the founding team did prior to launching their product to make sure that they were building something teams would actually use. In early tests, AllSpice not only focused on what their users commented on, both good and bad, but also what didn't get mentioned at all, Valentina Ratner, co-founder and CEO, told TechCrunch. 'Some of the most valuable things that we learned were maybe the things that people didn't need or didn't want,' Ratner said. 'That helped us kind of scope something that will be really helpful and really an integral part of the workflow. Because we wanted to build not another point solution for our space, but a centralized platform that will become that home base for electronics teams.' Both Ratner and Dumont had experienced the pain points AllSpice is trying to solve firsthand while working as engineers at Amazon and iRobot, respectively. Ratner said that hardware design doesn't translate through email chains and PDFs, and by the end of Ratner's time at Amazon, she was spending the majority of her time building an internal collaboration tool to solve this problem for Amazon. The duo met in grad school and launched the first version of AllSpice's product in 2022, which was focused on small businesses and other startups. The company started to see growing demand from enterprises, pivoted, and has since landed customers including Blue Origin, Bose, and Sam Altman's Tools for Humanity, among others. The startup just raised a $15 million Series A round led by Rethink Impact with participation from L'attitude Ventures, Gingerbread Capital, and DNX Ventures, in addition to existing investors. The company will put the capital toward hiring and continuing to build out its product offerings. AllSpice is also launching its new AI agent tool that helps validate engineers' designs and spot mistakes. 'We've seen huge demand to find out how our hardware, [and] AI tools, can help make their teams more effective, catch these design errors, and that's exactly what we're targeting for this product,' Dumont said. The company is purposefully launching this new AI agent just in closed beta for now, with an emphasis on working with their existing partners, Ratner said. The company wants to be able to ensure full accuracy before opening the product up further. 'The cost of a hardware mistake is so much higher than the cost of a software mistake,' Ratner said. 'We have to make it in a way that makes sense for our industry, because of those kinds of broad differences between releasing a software product versus releasing a hardware product.'
