MIDTOWN, Manhattan (PIX11) – We’re still a few months away from Thanksgiving, but that didn’t stop a turkey from walking the streets of Manhattan on Wednesday.

The animal, affectionately named Astoria by bird watchers, was seen roaming around 49th Street and Madison Avenue in Midtown. It was reported to have first been seen in Long Island City a week ago.

The turkey found a place to rest in the Saks Fifth Avenue awning, according to Manhattan Bird Alert.

Spanish startups reached €100 billion in aggregated value in 2023, consolidating the country’s position as a midsize European tech ecosystem
If 11 figures is your attention threshold, you may be interested in learning that the combined enterprise value (EV) of Spanish startups surpassed €100 billion in 2023, according to Dealroom's latest report on the Spanish tech ecosystem. As we'll see, venture investment into Spanish startups also held up quite well, with €2.2BN raised across some 850 funding rounds. Spain's venture capital tally was lower last year than in 2021 and 2022; that's no surprise as these years were outliers.

Iyo thinks its gen AI earbuds can succeed where Humane and Rabbit stumbled
While even the firm’s biggest cheerleaders didn’t expect the Ai Pin to change the world in such a short timeframe, few of its many detractors expected things to go so sideways, so quickly. The excitement ahead of both devices’ launch is proof-positive that there is interest in a new form factor that leverages LLMs (large language models) in a way that is genuinely useful in our daily lives. Iyo represents a third form factor in the push to deliver standalone generative AI devices.
