Martha Stewart just launched a new startup called Hint—an “always-on, AI-native home management platform” set to launch this summer. The venture was born out of a conversation Stewart had with Kyle Rush, her neighbor and an AI engineer. The two wanted to create software that can help identify and solve pesky home repairs, as well as reduce expenses. After Stewart partnered with Rush and home-services executive Yih-Han Ma, Hint was born. “The first thing you do is give us your address,” Ma explained to Fortune. Then, Hint pulls publicly available data on the property. Users can upload further information, like…

Updated May 14, 2026 01:58PMAn outbreak of hantavirus on a cruise ship this month in the south Atlantic has captured the attention of people worldwide. On May 4, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported seven confirmed cases of the illness aboard the ship, and three deaths; the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) plans to quarantine the Americans among the passengers in a hospital in Omaha, Nebraska. It’s the most notable outbreak in years of hantavirus, one of several of a family of potentially fatal viruses spread by inhalation of particles contaminated with rodent feces, urine, or saliva.Hikers and backpackers spend…

It connects Claude to tools including QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Anthropic says the product includes 15 ready-to-run agentic workflows across finance, operations, sales,…

Leadership is no longer linear. Among the founders I meet, there’s a clear shift: Younger entrepreneurs are starting earlier, building faster, and often working across multiple ventures at once. More than half of Gen Z has a side hustle. Entrepreneurship is beginning to look less like a single trajectory and more like a portfolio. But this generation isn’t just building businesses. They’re building dynamic careers with intent. There is a growing expectation that entrepreneurs integrate social and environmental impact into core business decisions. Nearly a third of Gen Z is interested in serving on nonprofit boards or advisory groups. The line between building a company and driving impact is increasingly blurred. In my…

SpaceX, after launching 10,000 satellites into orbit, aims to loft one million more in a plan that space powers around the world will likely oppose. Shown here is a simulated image released by the European Space Agency of 12,000 space objects now circling the globe. (Photo by ESA/AFP via Getty Images)ESA/AFP via Getty ImagesWhile Elon Musk stunned the world with plans to launch a million satellites into orbit, the heads of space agencies and spacecraft operators across the planet are certain to oppose this SpaceX scheme, says a pre-eminent space scholar.If the American Federal Aviation Administration even hinted it might…

Tech layoffs are hitting hard, with companies like Meta, Coinbase and Block slashing their workforce by thousands. Entry-level jobs have been particularly targeted, as much of the basic coding can now be done by AI. But here’s the paradox: companies are actually hiring again—they’re just looking for mid- and senior-level engineers with AI skills who can manage AI agent teams and catch the coding errors that AI still makes. “One experienced engineer can have the output of a whole team,” Chris Abbass, CEO of recruiting firm Talentful, told The Wall Street Journal. Companies are also hiring for AI operations, AI…

Shawn Gorman, the great-grandson of Leon Leonwood (“L.L.”) Bean and chairman of his family’s company, shares the benefits of going “off-the-grid” (Photo: L.L. Bean)Published May 14, 2026 10:44AMAs a kid growing up in the 1970s, I didn’t think much about spending time outside. It was simply what you did—after school with friends, in the backyard with siblings, or piled into my dad’s station wagon, small camper in tow, for a week of summer fun in the outdoors. Today, time outdoors is far less organic. It has to be planned, prioritized, and structured. It requires intention and protection—shielded from the noise…

Two world powers are in an arms race to develop the most advanced AI systems, and neither of them trusts each other—but each relies on the other’s compliance to proceed. This contradiction lies at the core of a dangerous standoff for our time. President Trump’s meetings with President Xi Jinping in Beijing this week are a crucial moment for the U.S.-China relationship. U.S. officials made clear their intentions to initiate the discussion of setting up a dedicated communication channel regarding AI matters This means they’re worried that the technology could become a source of conflict between the two nations. I’ve…

Warning: Businesses have a narrow window to beef up cybersecurity defenses before AI-powered attacks become routine, according to Palo Alto Networks tech chief Lee Klarich. “We now estimate a narrow three-to-five-month window for organizations to outpace the adversary before AI-driven exploits start to become the new norm,” Klarich wrote in a Wednesday blog post. Sophisticated AI models are raising the stakes, putting pressure on security teams to prepare for cyberattacks capable of exploiting previously unknown software vulnerabilities. Google said this week it stopped an attempt to use AI for mass exploitation, but hackers are already using available tools to exploit…
