Rebirth: The Successful Rebrand of Kia
Once upon a time, a Kia was a simple, family car; nothing extraordinary or covetable. The vehicles donned a simple logo; the word Kia written inside a wide circle. The most interesting about the logo was the missing horizontal line from the capital A.

Snap AI Posts a Video; The World Freaks Out
As I browsed through my chats on Snapchat, I noticed a peculiar thing: “My AI” (the AI-powered bot introduced by Snapchat to its users in February of 2023) had posted a story.
