“Vibe coding” sounds like a tech buzzword people will forget by next year- until you realize it just built a $600 million revenue engine. Lovable co-founder Fabian Hedin dropped an eye-popping figure at the HumanX summit in Amsterdam- the platform’s annual run-rate revenue just crossed $600 million, jumping $100 million since June. And of course, investors clearly loved the traction, pouring over $700 million into the startup in eight months and driving its valuation to $13.3 billion. This shows how fundamental vibe-coding is. Numerous AI coding tools spit out lines of raw code that developers still have to test, host,…
Paul Roetzer, Founder and CEO of SmarterX and Marketing AI Institute, will kick off MAICON 2026 with a keynote titled “The Architect, The Orchestrator and The Apprentice: Rethinking Work in the Age of AI and Agents.”
William Lawrence is a Democrat running to represent Michigan’s Lansing-area Seventh Congressional District with a campaign that largely focuses on data centers and affordability. It’s not an unusual story in 2026 — but not long ago, Lawrence was cutting his teeth in progressive politics as a co-founder of the Sunrise Movement, primarily focused on organizing around the climate crisis.His arc, from progressive activist to politician, is emblematic of a bigger trend, as a wave of millennial progressives in midterm races across the country try to lean into issues that have broader, more immediate appeal with voters.But that arc also raises…
Bose used to make lots of wired headphones. But it’s been a minute. Specifically, it’s been 11 years. Since then, wired headphones entered 2026 having a serious moment, with sales up for the first time in five years—10 percent in the back half of 2025 and 20 percent at the start of 2026. Young people are driving the trend, including celebrities sporting wired earbuds and literally writing songs about them.Bose president of consumer audio Raza Haider (among others at the company) noticed. He dropped off his teen at college last year and saw wired earbuds left and right. A return…
If you need to charge your phone repeatedly while away from an outlet, a big power bank could be a good investment. Vladimir Sukhachev/Getty Images 20,000 mAh power banks tend to be chunky and are considered unwieldy for most pockets — but despite their size, there are plenty of situations in which you might rely on one. Large power banks are perfect for camping trips or site visits where your phone may not have access to an outlet for an entire day or multiple days at a time. They’re also great for intensive use, like when…
How's that view?! With NDC Oslo now done, it's a little bit of sightseeing before heading to Denmark for GOTO in Copenhagen for Scott's and my "Cyber-broken" talk. In the meantime, this week is mostly about the ShinyHunters trajectory targeting both Cl0p and the FBI, which does feel a little like a crescendo in their activities. Time will tell, but poking the feds in this way doesn't seem great for your longevity.In my disorganised travel state, I also forgot to touch on a brand new sponsor for this week and the weeks to come: Origin. They build tooling to monitor…
Few companies are more invested in the success of artificial intelligence agents than Nvidia Corp., so it makes sense that the chipmaker would want to ensure these autonomous software systems run safely, without causing any problems. To that end, Nvidia early today announced the debut of its free, open-source Nvidia Open Agent Safety Platform, which bundles various tools organizations can use to beef up the security of their AI agents, strengthen their control over them and improve governance. It’s built on top of Nvidia’s open-source OpenShell software and incorporates Nvidia Sentry to enable full control over not just the AI…
RNA vaccines, which have been proven effective against Covid-19, are now being developed for many other diseases, including cancer. One of the drawbacks to these vaccines is that they require ultracold storage, but researchers from MIT have found a promising way to overcome that limitation.With help from an AI algorithm, the researchers tweaked the formulation surrounding the lipid nanoparticles that are typically used to deliver mRNA vaccines, making the vaccines more heat-resistant. Using this approach, they formulated vaccines that could remain stable even when stored at room temperature for up to a year, or at nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit for…
To quote George Santayana, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” So why does it so often feel like Big Tech has such a short memory? The latest hiccup comes from Meta. In mid-September, it rolled out a beta test of a feature for its brand-new Muse AI agent that would place calls to businesses to complete tasks for you, like making reservations and appointments. According to reports by Reuters and 404 Media on Tuesday, however, this allegedly autonomous agent could route these tasks to a trained human concierge in call centers — without disclosing it…
Ravie LakshmananSep 26, 2026Vulnerability / Web Security Google is warning of renewed mass exploitation of a known security vulnerability in Oracle PeopleSoft as part of a campaign targeting multiple sectors globally. The ShinyHunters-linked activity involves the weaponization of CVE-2026-35273 (CVSS score: 9.8), a critical security flaw that could result in unauthenticated remote code execution. The vulnerability was first exploited as a zero-day in attacks against academic institutions to conduct reconnaissance, deploy remote access software like MeshCentral agent for persistence, move laterally over SSH, run a shell script to connect via SSH to other internal PeopleSoft machines using known username/password combinations, and…
