Netflix to Launch Vertical Video Feed and Use AI for Content Recommendations

Netflix announced it will launch a TikTok-style vertical video feed on mobile by end of April, and will use generative AI to recommend content to users.

Environmental scientists released findings about ocean acidification and its impacts on marine life. The study reveals accelerating changes in ocean chemistry affecting coral reefs. Fish populations are showing behavioral changes in response to environmental stress. Conservation efforts are being intensified to protect endangered marine species. International agreements on ocean protection are being negotiated. The research highlights urgent need for reducing carbon emissions.
