Why Vibe-Coding Your Next App Could Be a MISTAKE

Bob Starr was delighted with his vibe-coded website. "Boomberg" showed how much US tax money is going to tech companies, and Starr launched it online immediately after making it. It wasn't until months after the site went live that he realized there was a problem: a hidden SQL injection risk. It could've left the site open for an attacker to read or alter data they shouldn't have access to. "It was just a glaring oversight on my part. It was a complete blindspot in my state of learning this new

Why tech giants such as Alphabet and Microsoft are the safer choice in the AI race.

EVs Could Power Your Home. So Why AREN'T They?

When some EV owners in California and Massachusetts plug in their cars, the large batteries inside now serve a second purpose: sending power back to the grid when the vehicles do not need it and earning cash for their owners in the process. In one Massachusetts pilot program, that could mean as much as $3,000 this summer as EVs help ease strain on the grid during heat waves. It’s a use for EVs that has technically been possible for years. It could play a significant role in supporting the grid i

Patreon's CEO on Protecting Artists From AI SLOP

Today, I’m talking with Jack Conte, the CEO of Patreon. Jack last joined me on the show almost exactly five years ago, in the summer of 2021, and a lot has changed on the internet and in the creator landscape since then, so I was very excited to talk to him again, especially since his ideas about what Patreon is and how it should work have changed dramatically as big social media platforms have gotten more closed off and more flooded by AI slop. In fact, you’ll hear Jack say that he now thinks o

Why Valve's Steam Machine Signals an EXPENSIVE Future for Gamers

It's no secret that just about every aspect of video games is getting more expensive. Game consoles are getting regular price hikes, PC components are spiking in cost, and the golden age of affordable handhelds is over, all largely due to the global RAM shortage, which has had a similarly costly impact on PC gaming, including portable devices like the Steam Deck. This all led to some trepidation around the Steam Machine, Valve's latest attempt to bring the breadth and openness of PC gaming into

Why AI Shopping Assistants Still Can't Understand What You ACTUALLY Want

We’ve all had experiences like these: You search for a product online, maybe a new pair of running shoes, but one click turns into a spiral.

Valve's Steam Machine finally has a price: a whopping $1,049 for the 512GB configuration or $1,349 for the 2TB version. And those are without bundled controllers, which drive up the cost more.
