    Beeple has new NFT crap.

    His latest work, “Regular Animals,” features Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, and Beeple himself (aka Mike Winkelmann) as robot dogs that walk around taking photos and poop out stylized images, 256 of which are NFTs. Beeple told Page Six that the piece represents how we now “see the world through their eyes.” Eurgh.

    Rivian pops in party colors.

    The EV maker showcased a limited-run “Miami Edition” of the Rivian R1S at Miami Art Week, a white body with splashes of vibrant blue and pink that I’d love to see more of for standard models. Wallpaper also reports that Rivian is releasing a fragrance during the event that’s “inspired by diverse landscapes from alpine to canyon to forest.”

    <em>There are only 10 R1S Quad Miami Edition models available, which is a shame for such a pretty color offering.</em>

    Android expands in-call scam protections to the US.

    The feature was first piloted in the UK earlier this year, and works by automatically warning users when they launch eligible financial apps while screen sharing during calls with numbers that aren’t in the device’s contact list. The warning forces a 30-second pause period that aims to “break the spell of the scammers’ social engineering,” according to Google.

    The warning message will also provide guidance on how to avoid being scammed and prompt users to end the call.
