Tech companies keep telling everyone that this or that AI feature is going to change everything. But when you press them for examples, real, concrete examples of how those AI tools should be used, the answers tend to be lackluster. Sometimes AI tools feel so open-ended, it's hard to know where to start or what […] Read more ›

How it started When I was growing up in the Midwest, everyone I knew drove small cars. My dad had a light pink Volvo 240, my mom drove a Dodge Dart, and my grandmother had a 1988 Honda Accord - which would eventually become my first car. We lived in the suburbs, so almost no […] Read more ›

It's the lack of noise you notice first. There's no clatter of equipment, rumble of engines, or chatter of coworkers. Only the low hum of electronics. For an industrial space, this is eerily quiet, but it makes sense in a building where robots might outnumber people. I'm at a warehouse - or customer fulfilment center […] Read more ›

RFK Jr., our current secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, said this at a congressional hearing at the end of June. Wearables, he said, are key to the MAHA […] Read more ›

Now that we're about halfway into the first year of President Donald Trump's second term, we can take stock of his administration's destruction of online environmental resources. It's worse than last time. It's also, seemingly, just the beginning - paving the way forward for the president's polluting agenda. A watchdog group that monitors publicly-available environmental […] Read more ›
