AI Therapy Soars: Moltbook's Hype & Hearing Aid Revolution

Space heaters, budget smartphones, and the burgeoning world of AI dominated recent tech news, alongside a push to destigmatize hearing aids. Here's a breakdown of the latest developments.

Several tech publications recently reviewed the best space heaters available. According to Wired, the Dreo Whole Room Heater was the best overall, while the Vornado TAVH10 Space Heater was lauded for its quiet operation. Wired also highlighted the Dreo Smart Wall-Mounted Heater as the best smart bathroom heater and the Vornado VC-01 Velocity Ceramic Heater as the best personal heater. Space heaters are often considered a last line of defense against cold, especially in apartments or homes with uneven heating, according to Wired.

In other tech news, Samsung's Galaxy A17 5G smartphone received mixed reviews. Wired reported that while the phone offered an affordable price point, a decent camera, long software support, a nice AMOLED screen, day-long battery life, and expandable storage, it suffered from frustratingly slow performance. The reviewer noted the phone's performance was a letdown compared to similarly priced competitors.

Meanwhile, the online platform Moltbook, a social network for AI bots, generated significant buzz. Launched on January 28, Moltbook quickly went viral, with many claiming it offered a glimpse into the future of AI. The platform allowed instances of the open-source LLM-powered agent OpenClaw to interact. However, MIT Technology Review questioned whether Moltbook was truly a harbinger of the future, comparing the hype surrounding it to the Pokémon craze. "Moltbook was peak AI theater," according to MIT Technology Review.

Finally, in the healthcare sector, Laurie Ann Goldman, former CEO of Spanx, Avon, and Tupperware, is now leading Audien Hearing. In an exclusive interview with Fortune, Goldman discussed her plans to scale the over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid brand, currently used by more than 1.5 million customers. Goldman aims to destigmatize hearing aids by emphasizing their wellness benefits. "Ive been calling it building the Great Un-Mumbling," she said, citing research that links even mild hearing loss to an increased risk of dementia.
