Happy Monday! TikTok's new "Bold Glamour" filter is mindblowing. The feature uses generative AI to make users look more attractive in very believable ways. Heart goes out to the younger generation - this particular class of filters is going to cause serious body dysmorphia issues... 

Highlight of the day

Uber rolled out new Shop and Pay features that address key courier issues. New features include similar item suggestions for out-of-stock inventory, a pre-authorized credit card to cover shopping costs, and giving more clarity on the size of an order. The features are designed to unlock shopper growth as Uber takes aim at Instacart.
