Cutthroat capitalism sure does bring out the best in humanity. Take, for example, Elon Musk. He reportedly set a condition for banks, law firms, auditors and advisors who want to work on the SpaceX IPO. They're required to subscribe to the bastion of nonconsensual deepfakes and occasional Hitler praise known as Grok.Surely the best and brightest banks our nation has to offer would refuse such a pay-to-play demand, right? Well,... Read more ›

While today's children navigate a world of GPS trackers and scheduled playdates, those who grew up with bikes and streetlights discovered that strength isn't inherited or taught — it's forged through countless unwitnessed failures, unsupervised adventures, and the simple expectation that you'll figure it out yourself.

Many people have tried AI tools and walked away unimpressed. I get it — many demos promise magic, but in practice, the results can feel underwhelming.That’s why I want to write this not as a futurist prediction, but from lived experience. Over the past six months, I turned my engineering organization AI-first. I’ve shared before about the system behind that transformation — how we built the workflows, the metrics, and... Read more ›

Last week, one of our product managers (PMs) built and shipped a feature. Not spec'd it. Not filed a ticket for it. Built it, tested it, and shipped it to production. In a day.A few days earlier, our designer noticed that the visual appearance of our IDE plugins had drifted from the design system. In the old world, that meant screenshots, a JIRA ticket, a conversation to explain the intent,... Read more ›

Enterprises building voice-enabled workflows have had limited options for production-grade transcription: closed APIs with data residency risks, or open models that trade accuracy for deployability. Cohere's new open-weight ASR model, Transcribe, is built to compete on all four key differentiators — contextual accuracy, latency, control and cost.Cohere says that Transcribe outperforms current leaders on accuracy — and unlike closed APIs, it can run on an organization's own infrastructure.Cohere, which can...

“You can deceive, manipulate, and lie. That’s an inherent property of language. It’s a feature, not a flaw,” CrowdStrike CTO Elia Zaitsev told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview at RSA Conference 2026. If deception is baked into language itself, every vendor trying to secure AI agents by analyzing their intent is chasing a problem that cannot be conclusively solved. Zaitsev is betting on context instead. CrowdStrike’s Falcon sensor walks the... Read more ›

For three decades, the web has existed in a state of architectural denial. It is a platform originally conceived to share static physics papers, yet it is now tasked with rendering the most complex, interactive, and generative interfaces humanity has ever conceived. At the heart of this tension lies a single, invisible, and prohibitively expensive operation known as "layout reflow." Whenever a developer needs to know the height of a... Read more ›

For the modern enterprise, the digital workspace risks descending into "coordination theater," in which teams spend more time discussing work than executing it. While traditional tools like Slack or Teams excel at rapid communication, they have structurally failed to serve as a reliable foundation for AI agents, such that a Hacker News thread went viral in February 2026 calling upon OpenAI to build its own version of Slack to help...
