    Melania Trump calls AI ‘the future of publishing.’

    The first lady has announced that the new audiobook version of her self-titled (and suspiciously robotic) memoir was entirely narrated using an AI clone of her own voice created by ElevenLabs.

    If the more than 50,000 AI-narrated books on Audible alone are any indication, the “new era in publishing” she’s heralding is already here, and it’s overwhelmingly saturated with hilariously titled erotica.

    Fortnite is already topping App Store charts.

    It’s currently in first place in the free games category for both iPhone and iPad, less than a day after returning to the US App Store. No surprise after an almost five-year absence.

    Nanoleaf’s first solar lights aren’t smart, but they sure are pretty.

    These quirky $49.99 Nanoleaf solar-powered garden lights are sold in pairs, each featuring eight LED bulb stalks that support eight RGB colors and 11 scene presets. They can also be charged via USB-C, and activate automatically via daylight sensors or timers.

    For something a little less alien, Nanoleaf is also launching a 5-meter RGB addressable rope light for $69.99 that works with Matter and other smart home platforms.

    <em>Pretty much every smart lighting company has an RGB strip light already, but Nanoleaf’s 5-meter offering is a welcome addition.</em>
