YouTube Drops Trending Page, Goes Full AI
YouTube shut down its Trending page after 10+ years and switched to AI-powered category charts. Now, instead of one big list, you get personalized feeds for music, movies, gaming, and more. It’s all about showing what fits your vibe, not just what’s popular everywhere.
This change means creators have got to adapt because there is no more relying on the old Trending boost. YouTube is betting big on AI to deliver videos that really match your taste. Trending is done and the future is smart AI-driven discovery.

Quantum Stealth Tech: U.S.–Canada Military Pushes the Limits
The U.S. and Canadian militaries are diving deep into quantum stealth tech, aiming to make soldiers and equipment invisible in broad daylight. This isn’t science fiction—it’s real, and it’s happening now. Developed by Canadian company HyperStealth, Quantum Stealth uses light-bending materials to cloak objects from sight, infrared, and thermal detection. No batteries, no mirrors, just physics.
Both U.S. and Canadian military units have verified its effectiveness, and now, with rising geopolitical tensions, the two nations are ramping up joint exercises and investments in this tech. The goal? To stay ahead of adversaries and redefine what stealth means in modern warfare.
