Tech boss quits after viral 'kiss cam' video at Coldplay concert
Andy Byron, the boss of New York-based firm Astronomer, was seen with his arms around Kristin Cabot, the company's chief people officer, on the 'kiss cam' screen at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts,
When they saw themselves on the big screen, the pair quickly separated and attempted to hide their faces.
'Whoa, look at these two,' Coldplay singer Chris Martin said. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.'
Mr Byron has now quit the data infrastructure company, according to a LinkedIn post from the company on Saturday.
Astronomer's board of directors accepted Byron's resignation, according to the LinkedIn post, and will begin searching for its next CEO.
The company added: 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding.
'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.'
The data operations company, which was founded in 2018, acknowledged that 'awareness of our company may have changed overnight,' but its mission would continue to be focused on addressing data and artificial intelligence problems.
The company on Friday said Astronomer's co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy would serve as interim CEO.
Mr Byron's LinkedIn account is no longer public and he was removed from the company's leadership page following the announcement, which now lists co-founder DeJoy as CEO.
Mr Byron is still listed on the company's website as a member of the board of directors.

Amazon best selling teeth whitener that leaves them 'sparkling bright' is 30% off
MySweetSmile - the UK's number one teeth whitening brand - is celebrating five years of success and giving back to customers with 30% off all products and a free toothpaste gift Maintaining oral health is crucial for sparkling teeth, healthy gums and fresh breath, making it worthwhile to invest in dental care products. However, like most things, it can quickly become a costly affair, and with a plethora of options available, consumers often struggle to identify which products truly justify their cost. MySweetSmile is one of the few brands that consistently receives high ratings - bagging awards and being hailed as the UK's top teeth whitening brand. Now, they're marking five years of success and radiant smiles by offering a host of deals to express gratitude to their customers, both new and returning. To kick off, they're offering a 30% discount on all products, including a complimentary mystery flavour toothpaste - either mint, strawberry or mango - for customers. Additionally, there's a buy two get one free deal on all products, free two-day delivery on orders over £20 for UK-based shoppers, among other enticing offers. The brand are a top seller on Amazon too. No codes are required as all discounts are automatically applied at checkout, and these offers are available site-wide from July 31 to August 7. Among the products on offer, customers can select from a variety of options such as the Teeth Whitening Powder, now priced at £20.99, reduced from £29.99. This product is touted as clinically tested and dentist-approved for its ability to remove deep-set stains and prevent new ones without using harsh peroxides or causing sensitivity or enamel damage, reports the Manchester Evening News. The Teeth Whitening Strips are also available for £20.99, down from £29.99, offering easy-to-use, non-slip strips that deliver quick results without damaging the enamel. The Precision Teeth Whitening Pen will also be discounted by 30% and is designed for targeted whitening for those desiring extra bright teeth. Its fine brush tip allows customers to apply the formula precisely where needed, and it doesn't use any peroxide, so there should be no sensitivity caused to teeth. For those with damaged or sensitive enamel, the Enamel Care Serum could be an ideal choice. It targets the root cause of sensitivity by repairing and strengthening the enamel. For optimal results, customers follow their regular night-time brushing routine before applying the serum, dispense two to three pumps onto their toothbrush, brush for two minutes and spit out any excess. People with sensitive gums can now turn to MySweetSmile's Gum Serum, which is infused with hyaluronic acid to hydrate, soothe inflammation, and fortify gum tissue. It's recommended to use this serum after the usual brushing routine by applying two pumps onto the tongue and then spreading it across the gums, allowing it to work its magic for two minutes. Not all products suit everyone, and if MySweetSmile doesn't hit the mark, there are other options available. For instance, Boots stocks the Rapid White - Blue Light Tooth Whitening System at £23.33, which promises to lighten teeth up to five shades in a fortnight and features a peroxide-free formula for those with sensitivities. Alternatively, Lookfantastic offers the Spotlight Whitening Teeth Whitening Pen for £14.95, designed to provide professional results from the comfort of home while reducing stains for a whiter smile. Feedback on the MySweetSmile website has been overwhelmingly positive, with one customer, Margaret, aged 63, commenting on the Teeth Whitening Powder: "I always thought my yellow teeth were just part of ageing, but after just a few uses of MySweetSmile, I can't stop smiling at the mirror. My teeth feel so much cleaner and brighter-it's like I've turned back the clock on my smile!" Emily, 39, shared her experience: "I was sceptical at first, but this really works. My teeth looked dull and yellow no matter how much I brushed, but now they're sparkling clean and bright. The compliments haven't stopped, and I feel so much more confident!" Tom, 34, praised the Teeth Whitening Strips, saying: "I'm always running around with work and barely have time for self-care. These strips fit perfectly into my busy routine, and the results are incredible! My teeth are whiter, and I feel so much more confident." However, on Amazon, some customers had differing opinions. One wrote: "I have only just started using this, so I have not seen much difference yet but the powder leaves your mouth smelling fresh." Another customer expressed: "I bought this as it was recommended online. I'm not a smoker and I haven't been drinking much, I do drink coffee regularly but I equally regularly clean my teeth. There's an initial improvement but I'm not sure it's what I expected. I used it every day in the first week and only noticed the difference post brushing. Shortly after that - little difference."

Airbnb guest says images were altered in false £12,000 damage claim
Airbnb has apologised to a woman after an apartment host falsely claimed she had caused thousands of pounds' worth of damage and used images she says were digitally manipulated to back up his allegations. The London-based academic was refunded almost £4,300, and an internal review of how the case was dealt with has been launched at the short-term accommodation rental company. The incident highlights how cheap and easily available artificial intelligence software is now being used to manipulate images to give false evidence of what has happened in consumer complaints, according to one security expert. The woman, who is based in London, had booked the one-bedroom apartment in New York's Manhattan for two-and-a-half months earlier this year to stay in while she was studying, but she decided to leave early after feeling unsafe in the area. Shortly after she left, the host told Airbnb that she had caused more than £12,000 worth of damage, and submitted pictures of an apparently cracked coffee table as part of his case. His allegations included that she had stained a mattress with urine, and damaged a robot vacuum cleaner, a sofa, a microwave, a TV and an air conditioner. The woman denied any damage had been done to the apartment. She said she left it in good condition and had only two visitors during the seven weeks she stayed. A close examination of two pictures of the coffee table appears to show differences in the damage, leading the woman to believe they were digitally manipulated or generated by AI. She says the host was retaliating because she ended her tenancy early. Airbnb initially told her 'after careful review of the photos', she would have to reimburse the host a total of £5,314. She appealed against the decision. 'I informed them that I can provide testimony from an eyewitness who was with me during checkout and can attest under oath to the condition in which the property was left: clean, undamaged, and in good order,' she says. 'I also clearly demonstrated visual discrepancies in images of the same object (wooden table) provided by the host that show clear signs of fabrication.' She adds: 'These inconsistencies are simply not possible in genuine, unedited photographs of the same object. This should have immediately raised red flags and discredited the host's claims if the evidence had been reviewed with even basic scrutiny, but Airbnb not only failed to identify this obvious manipulation, they entirely ignored my explanations and clear evidence that the material was fabricated.' Five days after Guardian Money raised questions about the case with Airbnb, the woman was told it had accepted her appeal and credited her account with £500. When she then said she was not going to rebook with Airbnb again, the company offered an £854 refund – a fifth of the cost of her booking. She refused to accept this and was refunded the full cost (£4,269) of her booking, and a negative review that the host had placed on her profile was taken down. 'My concern is for future customers who may become victims of similar fraudulent claims and do not have the means to push back so much or give into paying out of fear of escalation,' the woman says. 'Given the ease with which such images can now be AI-generated and apparently accepted by Airbnb despite investigations, it should not be so easy for a host to get away with forging evidence in this way.' The man who complained about her is listed as a 'superhost' on Airbnb, which the site says is someone who is experienced and highly rated. He did not respond to a request for comment. Airbnb said he had been warned for violating its terms and told he would be removed if there was another similar report. The company told him that it could not verify the images he submitted as part of his complaint. Airbnb apologised and said there would be a review into how her case was handled. 'We take damage claims seriously – our specialist team reviews all available evidence to reach proportionate outcomes for both parties, and to help ensure a fair approach, decisions can be appealed.' Serpil Hall, the director of economic crime at the management consultants Baringa, said that manipulating images and videos was now 'easier than ever', and software to do so was cheap, widely available and required little skill to use. In one recent case an insurance company found there had been an increase in false claims on vehicles and home repairs using photos that had been manipulated. 'Recently, many companies have decided images can't be taken at face value any more [during disputes], and there is a need for forensic tools and fraud intelligence models to validate them.'

Tipping a hat to Scotland's social entrepreneurs

Research by American Express earlier this year found that Generation Z business leaders are pioneering a new approach with purpose, profit and wellbeing at the forefront of their ventures. The study of UK entrepreneurs and senior leaders aged 18-27 revealed that while 88 per cent see hitting profit targets as the key measure of business success, 85 per cent said it's important for their business to solve problems that others don't, and 82 per cent of the sample considered their business to be 'purpose driven'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad So, what does 'purpose driven' actually mean? Respondents of the survey defined this as a business which 'makes a positive difference to a significant environmental or social issue' (31 per cent), a business 'using its mission and values to guide decision-making' (22 per cent) or one with 'clear ethical credentials' (17 per cent). Leaving a positive legacy was crucial in the study, with 93 per cent of respondents wanting to 'build something that their family will be proud of'. Inmates in Glasgow are being taught the trade of making bread For me, when you see a bona fide purpose-driven business out on the coalface you know – as they say, when you know you know. Back in 2017, I met entrepreneur Matt Fountain, who had given up the chance to study a PhD in the economics of art at Oxford in order to set up social enterprise Freedom Bakery in Low Moss prison near Glasgow. Training inmates to make artisan bread for sale to cafes, restaurants and stores, CEO Fountain said at the time, in a national newspaper report we helped organise: 'We incarcerate people as punishment for a crime, but when they get released they get incarcerated again by society'. Chapeau Matt, chapeau. This week, we handled a press announcement for an initiative which aims to boost the creation and growth of Scottish tech businesses with a social or environmental mission. Techscaler – the Scottish Government's programme for creating, developing and scaling tech startups run by CodeBase – partnered with The Ventures Lab, a global organisation on a mission to support early stage social entrepreneurs, with a view to strengthening the pipeline of impact-driven startups in Scotland. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Dr Kate Smith, CEO and founder of Edinburgh-based ProfessorMe, is one of the purpose-driven companies already receiving support from the partnership. Having developed what the company describes as 'the world's first AI professor', she talks about improving the educational experience for students across the world, including in countries with disrupted education systems. Nick Freer applauds the rise of purpose-driven businesses As Kate, a former journalist, puts it: 'As a world-positive business, we want to reach learners no matter their personal circumstances or location. Research shows that if a woman receives a university education, it positively impacts her family for the next five generations.' 'We share a vision', says Smith, 'that a better world is possible'. I guess that gets to the heart of things when it comes to social entrepreneurs and purpose-driven businesses. The Matt Fountains and Kate Smiths of the world should be applauded and feted. Social entrepreneurs of the world, unite and take over!
