The AI arms race is expected to continue well beyond 2026. Spending on artificial intelligence (AI) is not expected to slow down anytime soon, much less in 2026. AI hyperscalers have all informed investors that they expect data center spending to increase in 2026. As a result, several companies currently look promising. I think these…

‘He Gets Us’ campaign returns with another ad In the final moments of the broadcast, the evangelical groups behind the “He Gets Us” campaign poke at consumerism and greed to ask, “Is there more to life than more?” It’s the fourth straight year the group has advertised in the Super Bowl, and the controversial campaign…

The ads that got a real reaction weren’t the…
Something weird just happened on the Internet. In less than a week, 1.4 million AI agents have created their own social network. Not for us, for themselves. They post, argue, create memes, complain about their human owners, and debate existential questions. The platform is called Moltbook. Humans can watch but not participate. Only AI machines…
