For years, the startup world has treated attention like a renewable resource: capture it, monetize it, optimize it, repeat. But lately, a different kind of product thinking has been gaining momentum—one that assumes attention is not infinite, and that the…
Wall Street’s winning streak didn’t end with a whimper—it ended with a jolt. On Friday, the Nasdaq Composite slid roughly 3% as a sell-off in chip-related stocks rippled through technology and semiconductors, dragging down sentiment just as traders were trying…
Developer conference season has a familiar rhythm: big announcements, bold demos, and a steady drumbeat of “this changes everything.” This year’s refrain is even louder—and more specific. Instead of simply promising faster chips or smarter software, the industry is pitching…
New York has taken a decisive step toward slowing the rapid expansion of large data centers—at least for a year. On June 5, the New York State legislature passed a one-year moratorium on new large data centers, a move that…
For a while, “tokens” were treated like a kind of fuel you could always buy more of. If a model was slow, you threw more throughput at it. If it was uncertain, you asked it to think longer. If the…
When an AI startup promises it can read a screenplay and tell you whether it will become a hit, the claim lands in a very specific place in Hollywood: right at the intersection of hope, skepticism, and the industry’s long-running…
AirTrunk, the Australian data center operator that has been steadily expanding its footprint across Asia, has announced a major new investment plan aimed squarely at the AI boom. The company says it will commit roughly $30 billion to develop 5GW…
On farms, the future rarely arrives with a trumpet. It shows up as a new sensor mounted where an old one used to be, a software update that changes how a screen looks at 5 a.m., or a machine that…
In the AI industry right now, “heads down” is no longer a strategy so much as a phase. The early days of frontier model building rewarded secrecy, quiet iteration, and the kind of engineering discipline that doesn’t need applause to…
In boardrooms and break rooms alike, artificial intelligence is no longer arriving as a distant promise. It is arriving as a workflow change: a new interface, a faster decision cycle, a different way to draft, search, forecast and approve. Yet…
Teams everywhere are discovering a paradox that feels almost counterintuitive: AI can make work faster and increase output dramatically, yet the organization doesn’t always feel more productive. The deliverables arrive sooner, the drafts multiply, and the volume of “completed” tasks…
On a typical factory floor, change used to arrive in slow increments: a new conveyor line, a revised shift schedule, a gradual upgrade to sensors and software. This time, the pace feels different. Humanoid robots—machines designed to move through human-like…
