There is a devastation happening right now in B2B marketing. It is quieter. It does not make headlines. It just slowly erodes your pipeline until nothing is left. It is the cost of zero-friction content. Your C-suite thought generative AI was a cheat code. Produce endless copy. Flood the zone. Win by sheer volume. They built a Shoggoth. A terrifying, faceless blob of synthetic text that consumes everything in its path and regurgitates perfect, grammatically flawless nothingness. And now the bill is coming due. When producing commodity content becomes virtually free, the cost of being average does not stay the…

The Apple smart home device that the company is expected to announce on Tuesday is called HomeView and will ship to consumers in November, according to a report Sunday by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The device, which will feature a display and be powered by an A18 chip, will act as a Siri command center for an Apple-powered smart home, Gurman reported. The HomeView will come in two versions: a countertop model with a metal speaker base and a wall-mounted version with a flat, square base. Apple didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. For more than a year, Apple has…

I had to iterate a bit to realize my vision, telling the AI not just to stick pig faces on the blocks but to have the blocks shaped like distorted pigs. “Each block is a pig,” I wrote, “contorted into the shape of the Tetris blocks. Make ’em look a little squished but still cute!” This resulted in a clean, playable version of Tetris, though the occasional block looked like a T-posed pig with its legs spread-eagle. The AI suggested the title Piggy Stacker, but I thought mine was better. (I’m right.)Dinner DarlingThe next game idea came courtesy of my…

Most traditional enterprise systems were built around three assumptions: Jobs finish quickly, retrying one is free and the same input always produces the same output. Agentic workloads break all three of these expectations, which is why pilots that perform well turn into operational problems once they run unattended. The difficulty is rarely the model; it’s the surrounding infrastructure and management practices that assume properties these workloads no longer have. What has changed Agents work by different rules than conventional software. Here are three significant differences: Work takes minutes, not milliseconds. An agentic task can run long enough to exceed timeout…

Anthropic officially banned users from being cruel to Claude. But doesn’t regulating manners toward digital math matrices miss the mark entirely? Anthropic has updated its terms of service to outlaw “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward its flagship chatbot, Claude. The policy tweak also tackles serious risks such as weapon controls and surveillance. But the Internet only cares about one thing: the anti-bullying mandate for silicon algorithms. The company insists this rule targets extreme edge cases where users repeatedly torture the model for no practical reason. Don’t worry: normal levels of user frustration, pushback, and creative writing remain…

Seth Paul of Front Burner Studios and security startup Qinsay at the studio near Pike Place Market. (GeekWire Photo / Todd Bishop) This week, we take the GeekWire Podcast to Front Burner Studios in Seattle, where we’re hosted by studio co-owner Seth Paul, who’s co-founder and CEO of security startup Qinsay. We discuss the White House crackdown on Microsoft’s green-card sponsorships, which Vice President JD Vance announced just hours before President Trump awarded Satya Nadella the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. We talk about the contrast, and about how Nadella himself traveled that same path from H-1B visa to…

Lego isn’t going anywhere. Those beloved little bricks won’t biodegrade, are machined to incredibly tight tolerances, and—unless your dog chews one up—retain what Lego refers to as their “clutch power” for decades. Their relevance in terms of cultural pastiche isn’t fading on me either. They’re as irresistible to me today as they were as a kid.If you and your loved ones are also obsessed with Lego sets, we have some great gift ideas. For more recommendations, don’t forget to check out our other gift guides.Updated October 2026: I added the Lego Ideas Peanuts: Snoopy’s Doghouse, a Lego Batman game, Star…

The Wisconsin gubernatorial race was one of the most closely watched Democratic primaries in the country this year, pitting a democratic socialist, state Rep. Francesca Hong, against Milwaukee Democrat David Crowley, who received the endorsement of the state’s sitting Democratic governor, Tony Evers.Hong lost the race, setting up Crowley to face Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany in the general election this fall. But she’s already back on the campaign trail, this time trying to help Democrats win a trifecta in the state: the governor’s race and both legislative chambers.Unifying the state’s voters to achieve that won’t be easy, though. Hong spoke…

The artificial intelligence infrastructure race is no longer just about building faster chips. AI infrastructure bottlenecks are shifting attention to a bigger challenge: keeping those chips supplied with data, connected through high-speed networks and operating within increasingly demanding power and cooling limits.. That systems-level challenge takes the spotlight at the AI Data Pipeline Forum in San Jose, California, which takes place during the OCP Global Summit. The event brings together industry leaders to address the architectural changes required to support dense AI clusters and distributed inference. TheCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, will provide exclusive coverage, airing Oct. 13, hosted by…

It seems like Gemini is to blame. Andriy Baidak/Shutterstock Owners of foldable phones are reportedly running into issues when trying to place outgoing calls using Android Auto. Posts on Reddit, as well as Google and Motorola forums, describe various foldable phones losing their ability to make calls when they’re closed, as first reported by Android Authority. And Gemini might play a role in the calling quandary. Users say that when their phones are closed and they instruct them to call someone, the call doesn’t connect. One poster on Reddit said they get a message to “flip…
