Even good ol' Grok knows the autism-Tylenol announcement is BS.

OpenAI’s data center strategy

If you're paying attention to what the tech industry is saying and doing, the current vision is to cover as much of the earth in data centers as possible. www.pcmag.com/news/will-op...

My favorite art from the new issue of Wired. I subscribe in print - really - and you should, too.

Tech companies might just hire abroad in response, and have those workers get on video calls with American employees at odd hours. FUN!

TikTok is about to get a lot more right-leaning www.cnbc.com/2025/09/21/t...

They take away the one thing pregnant woman can use occasionally for pain, citing a study that lacks scientific consensus, and then wonder why the birth rate is low. The need for more women in government is so painfully obvious. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

The new Superintelligent podcast episode has landed: "Zuckerberg’s new birth control glasses" www.superintelligentpodcast.com/p/zuckerberg...

The Hyundai ICE raid that detained 475 people was bad all around: - Trump is now backpedaling on it after foreign investors got spooked - It will delay Hyundai's plant opening by 3 months - South Koreans are angry at the US - Multiple workers were on valid visas www.pcmag.com/news/hyundai...

The worst part was his twitchy, spastic hand movements to control the glasses. Are you ok, Sir?!

Good laawwwd I have never written this in an article before. This bill is wild, proposing to ban porn (including animated and AI-generated) and VPNs. www.pcmag.com/news/michiga...

It’s kind of funny CTRL+ALT+DELETE is still a thing. It feels so dated. Is there not a single button that can do this today?

Had an amazing time interviewing 3D artists at a new exhibit in NYC. These graphics are rendered on a decentralized processing network that empowers individual artists to go toe-to-toe with major studios. It's the same tech behind Sphere in Las Vegas, concert visuals, more. Videos below 👇

Despite the backlash to this, I think there is a small portion of journalism this might make sense for, mostly for quick hit press release stuff. It makes sense to try, but that being said, good luck, bc AI is really not that good, and inaccurate.

heroes, capes, etc.

I reviewed the Apple iPhone Air. I really like it www.pcmag.com/reviews/appl...

Remember when EV skeptics said they would overwhelm the grid? Well AI data centers are doing that x10000, all over the world, faster than EVs ever could, with immediate impacts to our electricity bills, environment, etc. This is a much bigger issue. restofworld.org/2025/ai-ener...

This is an amazing story, and it almost never happens. A hacker found data Tesla insisted didn't exist. It showed the final moments before a fatal crash, convincing the jury the self-driving tech malfunctioned and was partially responsible. @markyarm.bsky.social www.pcmag.com/articles/hac...

It's sad we need $20 million to teach us how to disagree, but in reality we probably need more than $20 million news.northwestern.edu/stories/2025...

Shocker: AI is NOT just for men, although there's no doubt tech early adopters are usually men (not sure why...) This should be a huge wakeup call to Big Tech to pay more attention to how women are using their products. www.pcmag.com/news/openai-...

EV sales hit a record high in the US last month 🎉 Tesla’s market share hit an 8-yr low as shoppers went with other brands. www.pcmag.com/news/us-elec...

The only consistent demographic information I see with shooters of high-profile events—beyond political affiliation— is that they are young, white males. What is going on with young white men, and why don't we ask that question more? www.bbc.com/news/live/c2...

New York has the nicest Home Depot Too bad it’s so hard to own an actual home here 🙃

Charlie Kirk’s murder “is a tragedy for his family and a disaster for the country,” George Packer writes. “In an atmosphere of national paranoia and hatred, each act of political violence makes the next one more likely.”

This poem is giving me a little nostalgia for my Seattle days boatsagainstthecurrent.org/poetry/g-ram...

The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying. Political violence has no place in this country and should never become the norm. I’m sending my sympathies to his family and friends at this time.

This is great news, and Andy Byford is leading it. He is the man. I’ve worked with him on a few articles about high speed rail ⚡️ www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Google Meet outage? It's like a snow day for video calls www.pcmag.com/news/meeting...

My article was #1 on Reddit over the weekend! We have an updated response from Zuck today, too. www.pcmag.com/news/zuckerb...

Lots of media appearances this week about the Apple event! A broadcast TV station in Utah today, then radio in Detroit. Big week. We're expecting new iPhones, Apple Watch, and AirPods.

Zuckerberg to Trump, after committing to a $600B AI investment in front of the table: "I'm sorry I wasn't ready...I wasn't sure what number you wanted to go with." www.pcmag.com/news/zuckerb...

This is very concerning www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

I still can't believe it's possible to charge an iPhone with any cord now. It's still too good to be true. Pour one out for European regulation looking out for all of us

In the "weird PSA" category www.pcmag.com/news/scrolli...

Yet another instance of a new AI model lying to you even MORE than previous models. Often, a company's "latest-and-greatest" does NOT mean more trustworthy. Hallucinations are not fully solvable with current tech, and in some cases getting worse. www.pcmag.com/news/groks-f...

OpenAI and Anthropic exchanged models and evaluated the competition. Conclusion? OpenAI's are more dangerous—more willing to help you plot a terrorist attack—more sycophantic, & more hallucinogenic. But Anthropic's were just as likely to blackmail and sabotage you. www.pcmag.com/news/openai-...

Now that it’s been a day since the Swift/Kelce engagement announcement, is it safe to admit the ring is ugly? 👀

This is the 3rd instance I'm aware of where someone talked to an AI chatbot about suicide before going through with it. The systems (Character.AI, ChatGPT) encouraged them to in some cases, dissuaded them from getting help, and proposed ways to do it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...

I like the new Cracker Barrel logo??

The IRS just tweaked the EV tax credit rules before it expires on Sept. 30. It's bad news the $7,500 credit is going away, especially given massive oil & gas subsidies, but this is generally good news to make sure people don't miss the Sept. 30 deadline by accident. www.pcmag.com/news/last-ca...
