Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openWilliams-Sonoma is putting $10 million of an approximately $200 million tariff refund toward one-time contributions to some employees' 401(k) accounts, rather than paying cash bonuses. CEO Laura Alber said the company wanted to share the refund with workers. The article explains that 401(k) contributions don't count as wages for Social Security's earnings test, while cash bonuses do, a meaningful difference for employees collecting Social Security before full retirement age.
Pottery Barn, a Williams-Sonoma brand, launched a 50-plus-piece home collection with designer Ashley Stark, and Williams Sonoma stores finished a nationwide rollout of Popsmith premium stovetop popcorn poppers ahead of the holiday gifting season.
Williams-Sonoma has banned customer AI agents from shopping on its websites, according to a KQED report citing LMU Loyola Law School professor Lauren Willis, who commented on the growing number of AI chatbot developers. The article is truncated and does not include further details on the policy's scope or rationale.
Williams Sonoma updated its website terms of service to ban customer AI shopping agents from browsing or buying on its sites without written permission. The rule covers all brands under Williams-Sonoma Inc., including Pottery Barn, and applies even when the customer themselves authorized the AI tool. The company also said any automated tool that does access the sites must identify itself as automated, and customers are on the hook for all account activity whether or not they authorized it.
A U.S. federal judge dismissed Williams-Sonoma's false advertising lawsuit against Quince, ruling that WSM did not plausibly show Quince's ads were misleading. WSM had accused Quince of running a campaign suggesting consumers could buy the same WSM products for less. WSM can still amend and refile its complaint; the case sits in the Northern District of California.
