Samsung's About to Make You PAY for Something You Already OWN

From October this year Samsung will roll out a variety of new paid tiers for access to its SmartThings API, including a $4.99 monthly plan for "non-commercial, individual developers." It won't just be developers that pay the price though. Some more advanced smart home users are likely to fall afoul of the rule change if they directly access the SmartThings API for more flexible smart home controls, or use third-party tools that do the same.

The AI Companies Building What OpenAI and Nvidia CAN'T

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Nvidia have largely defined the AI narrative for much of the last four years, and for good reason. Nvidia’s chips power virtually every major AI training run in the world. OpenAI’s ChatGPT became the fastest consumer application in history to reach 100 million users. Anthropic has turned Claude into one of enterprise AI’s most trusted model families. Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold solved a protein-folding problem that stumped scientists for 50 years, work tha

Why Tech Giants Are Spending TRILLIONS to Teach AI Something IMPOSSIBLE

The assignment is charming: I’ve been asked to moderate a panel in a garden in early summer. The problem is that it will require an outfit I don’t own and have no time to find. Easy enough, I think. I use AI every day to summarize transcripts, synthesize financial data, and draft emails. Surely I can outsource this.

The Gaming Nightmare Hitting Your WALLET Right Before GTA Arrives

The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is a singular moment, the kind of massive cultural phenomenon that makes people want to go out and buy a console to play it. It is the preeminent modern example of what's known as a "system seller." There's almost certainly a large audience of people who were waiting to buy a console because all they really play on it is GTA, and they haven't needed to upgrade since GTA V. But there's one big problem: At the same time people are getting excited to finally play

The Prime Day Discounts on Smart Lights That NEVER Go on Sale

One of the best deals this ongoing Prime Day has been on Apple’s latest flagship headphones. The AirPods Max 2 are still available for a heavily discounted price of $399 ($150 off) at Walmart, even though they sold out at Amazon.

Even discounted to $399 the AirPods Max 2 are still pretty expensive, but it’s a much better price for some fancy headphones. The s

The AI Controversy That's Spiraling Out of CONTROL at Anthropic

It's been two weeks since Anthropic took its Mythos-class models offline after a Friday evening ultimatum from the Trump administration. The company sprang into action immediately, sending a barrage of executives to Washington, DC. But updates have been suspiciously lacking, with no resolution in sight. Anthropic declined to comment multiple times this week about the state of the talks, saying there was no news to share. But the lack of news is the story here. After 14 days of high-intensity neg

Why Meta Is Betting Your FUTURE on Gambling

Meta is, by and large, a company built on other companies' ideas. It has almost perfected the strategy: wait for a new platform or social mechanic to take off, then either buy or clone it, put it next to Meta's unmatched user base and advertising engine, and watch the money pile up. Well, the next big thing appears to be turning everything into gambling. So why wouldn't Meta make a Polymarket?

Why You Have HOURS Left Before MacBooks Cost WAY More

Apple just raised the prices on Macs and iPads in response to the rising costs of memory chips, right in the middle of Amazon Prime Day.

The FATAL Flaw in Every Company's AI Scaling Strategy

AI was supposed to scale by removing humans. That was the promise. Build the product, automate the interaction, take the human out of the loop, and watch the margins compound. It was the SaaS playbook applied to intelligence. The companies putting AI into real operations are discovering the opposite.
