'At Pattern, we believe the future of ecommerce isn't guesswork, it's precision powered by AI, rich data, and advanced data science working in perfect harmony,' said Pattern Co-Founder and CEO Dave Wright. 'With innovations like Chessboard, GEO Scorecard, TrendVision, and the Portal, we're giving brands unprecedented visibility into why consumers buy, not just what they buy. This new suite of products and tools doesn't just optimize performance, it fundamentally rewrites the rules of digital retail by making every creative asset, every product detail, and every decision, smarter.'
GEO Scorecard: Revealing Critical Insights as Shoppers Turn to AI Assistants
Consumers are no longer starting their buying journey just on Google or Amazon, they're increasingly asking ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI assistants what to buy. This is a seismic shift in how consumers shop, and it demands a new approach to brand visibility. Pattern's new Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) Scorecard shows brands how they appear on AI platforms, providing data-driven insights to optimize content strategy and maintain a competitive advantage.
'Consumers aren't just using AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini to search, they're trusting them to decide,' said Wright. 'This new level of confidence in AI-generated recommendations is reshaping how purchase decisions are made. Brands must urgently understand how they appear in these responses and adapt their content and messaging strategies to stay competitive in this new era of AI-led commerce.'
Chessboard: Enabling Content Optimization with Accuracy and Efficiency
Pattern introduced Chessboard, a breakthrough analytics engine that leverages data science to reveal why shoppers convert, not just how often. Unlike traditional metrics that treat every view equally, Chessboard uses visibility modeling and attribute-level analysis to identify the specific product features that actually drive purchases. By isolating the attributes that matter most to consumers, it empowers brands to optimize content, design, and spend with surgical precision.
'Chessboard finally gives brands increased clarity on what influences a purchase,' said Wright. 'It separates signal from noise so your product listing is focused on the features that actually convert. That level of insight is the key to unlocking real efficiency and growth.'
TrendVision: Empowering Brands to Win Amid Rise in Social Shopping
Pattern launched TrendVision, an AI-powered solution that helps brands win on TikTok and Instagram. TrendVision analyzes trending topics, deconstructs high-performing social content, and identifies the hooks, emotional triggers, and creative patterns that drive engagement and conversion. It then turns these insights into ready-to-execute video scripts, and assets, enabling brands to scale impactful social content using their existing media.
The Portal: Addressing Challenges in AI-Generated Product Imagery
Pattern unveiled The Portal, a breakthrough in AI-assisted product photography that combines high-fidelity image capture with data-driven creative generation. As Pattern's first hardware-enabled solution, The Portal produces hyper-realistic lifestyle images – where the product retains its true detail even in bespoke AI-generated scenes – and the right images – those optimized to drive conversions based on Pattern's proprietary data models. The Portal dramatically accelerates content production with programmable backgrounds, dynamic lighting, and adjustable camera configurations..
Pattern Delivers Competitive Advantage as AI Redefines Ecommerce
'We're entering a new era where AI doesn't just accelerate commerce, it redefines how it works,' said Wright. 'By combining Pattern's data, creativity, and technology, we're helping brands not only keep up with the pace of change, but lead it. The breakthroughs we launched at Accelerate 25 aren't just tools, they're competitive advantages built for the future of buying and selling.'

Sprouting Gear Inc. Founder Paul Pluss Announces Report on:
RAMONA, Calif., June 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The U.S. livestock industry, already grappling with rising feed costs and shrinking herd sizes, now faces a fast-approaching and under-recognized threat: the massive expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure—especially data centers—and its impact on water availability, says Paul Pluss, a veteran livestock rancher and researcher focused on the intersection of agriculture, water policy, and emerging infrastructure demands. 'The water usage of data centers operated by Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon remains largely unrecognized by agricultural stakeholders. Prime location for data centers is the same hot dry inland location preferred for feedlots and are often sharing the same aquifers and rivers' said Pluss. Fueled by public and private investment in AI infrastructure, the number of U.S. data centers is expected to grow from 5,426 today to more than 8,378 within five years. Many existing facilities are also expanding. These data centers—crucial for powering AI models, cloud computing, and digital services—require enormous amounts of water to cool their servers. Key figures: This level of water consumption rivals agricultural water use in major farming states and could soon surpass the entire livestock industry's combined water footprint, including feed crop irrigation, drinking water, and processing needs.

OpenAI Wants to get College Kids Hooked on AI
AI chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT have been shown repeatedly to provide false information, hallucinate completely made-up sources and facts, and lead people astray with their confidently wrong answers to questions. For that reason, AI tools are viewed with skepticism by many educators. So, of course, OpenAI and its competitors are targeting colleges and pushing its services on students—concerns be damned. According to the New York Times, OpenAI is in the midst of a major push to make ChatGPT a fixture on college campuses, replacing many aspects of the college experience with AI alternatives. According to the report, the company wants college students to have a 'personalized AI account' as soon as they step on campus, same as how they receive a school email address. It envisions ChatGPT serving as everything from a personal tutor to a teacher's aide to a career assistant that helps students find work after graduation. Some schools are already buying in, despite the educational world initially greeting AI with distrust and outright bans. Per the Times, schools like the University of Maryland, Duke University, and California State University have all signed up for OpenAI's premium service, ChatGPT Edu, and have started to integrate the chatbot into different parts of the educational experience. It's not alone in setting its sights on higher education, either. Elon Musk's xAI offered free access to its chatbot Grok to students during exam season, and Google is currently offering its Gemini AI suite to students for free through the end of the 2025-26 academic year. But that is outside of the actual infrastructure of higher education, which is where OpenAI is attempting to operate. Universities opting to embrace AI, after initially taking hardline positions against it over fears of cheating, is unfortunate. There is already a fair amount of evidence piling up that AI is not all that beneficial if your goal is to learn and retain accurate information. A study published earlier this year found that reliance on AI can erode critical thinking skills. Others have similarly found that people will 'offload' the more difficult cognitive work and rely on AI as a shortcut. If the idea of university is to help students learn how to think, AI undermines it. And that's before you get into the misinformation of it all. In an attempt to see how AI could serve in a focused education setting, researchers tried training different models on a patent law casebook to see how they performed when asked questions about the material. They all produced false information, hallucinated cases that did not exist, and made errors. The researchers reported that OpenAI's GPT model offered answers that were 'unacceptable' and 'harmful for learning' about a quarter of the time. That's not ideal. Considering that OpenAI and other companies want to get their chatbots ingrained not just in the classroom, but in every aspect of student life, there are other harms to consider, too. Reliance on AI chatbots can have a negative impact on social skills. And the simple fact that universities are investing in AI means they aren't investing in areas that would create more human interactions. A student going to see a tutor, for example, creates a social interaction that requires using emotional intelligence and establishing trust and connection, ultimately adding to a sense of community and belonging. A chatbot just spits out an answer, which may or may not be correct.

YouTube is warning some Premium Lite subscribers about more ads next month, but don't worry
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube Premium Lite offers a budget-priced paid subscription that removes most ads from YouTube. Exceptions have included things like music videos, and in some markets Google has warned that Shorts may show ads, as well. The company is now sending out notices to more subscribers warning them that ads in Shorts will start appearing at the end of June. YouTube Premium is well worth paying for, giving users ad-free access to maybe the broadest library of content in streaming history. But especially if you get your music fix from another provider (like paying for Spotify Premium), it doesn't make a ton of sense to be paying full price for YouTube Premium and not taking advantage of its YouTube Music access. That's exactly why we were so happy to see Google introduce YouTube Premium Lite, which just focuses on removing (most) ads without worrying about any extras — and does so for a fraction of the price. While Premium Lite removes the vast majority of ads from normal videos, we've known that Google has carved out a series of exceptions. Those consist of 'music content, Shorts, and when you search or browse.' So far, at least in our experience, those have proved to be minimal, and we've found Premium Lite to offer a very reasonable compromise to paying full price. That said, the situation is now changing a bit, and not for the better — at least for Premium Lite subscribers in some regions. Google has recently been sending out emails to Premium Lite users in Germany, according to Deskmodder (via 9to5Google). These advise subscribers that ads in YouTube Shorts will start appearing as of June 30. We've also uncovered TWiT Community user big_D sharing the same message (this time in English). Curious why Google would be sending out notifications about ads we already knew about, and wondering why these messages didn't seem to be targeted at Premium Lite users in all nations, we reached out to Google in the hopes of getting some clarification. And it turns out that there's a simple explanation for all of this. You may recall that when we first began hearing about Premium Lite in testing last fall, it wasn't yet available in the US, instead getting started in Australia, Germany, and Thailand. And it turns out, as Google was still getting its plans for the service together, it hadn't told subscribers in Germany and Thailand that they'd be seeing ads in Shorts. By the time access expanded to the US, ads in Shorts were on the table from the beginning, but Google is only going back now and notifying customers in Germany and Thailand that they're getting them, too. So that's what going on with these emails: Most Premium Lite subscribers already knew about ads for Shorts, and now YouTube's telling the rest of you. Got a tip? Talk to us!
