Building the AI-enabled enterprise of the future

“This is one of those inflection points where I don’t think anybody really has a full view of the significance of the change this is going to have on not just companies but society as a whole,” says Patrick Milligan, chief information security officer at Ford, which is making AI an important part of its transformation efforts and expanding its use across company operations. Given its game-changing potential—and the breakneck speed with which it is evolving—it is perhaps not surprising that comp

JBL just announced its largest-ever battery-powered party speaker

JBL just announced the PartyBox 720, which is an extremely chonky party speaker. As a matter of fact, it's the company's largest-ever battery-powered party speaker.

You're Not Interviewing for the Job. You're Auditioning for the Job Title

I once had a job interview for a backend position. Their stack was Node.js, MySQL, nothing exotic. The interviewer asked: "If you have an array containing a million entries, how would you sort the data by name?" My immediate thought was: If you have a JavaScript array with a million entries, you're certainly doing something wrong. The interviewer continued: "There are multiple fields that you should be able to sort by." This felt like a trick question. Surely the right answer was to explain w

Waymo starts testing in Denver, Seattle in bid to expand robotaxi service across U.S.

Alphabet's Waymo unit will begin test drives of its robotaxis in Denver and Seattle this week, with humans behind the wheel, the company said Tuesday. "We will begin driving manually before validating our technology and operations for fully autonomous services in the future," a company spokesperson said in an email. Waymo announced the tests in blog posts. The autonomous vehicle venture aims to expand its driverless, ride-hailing service across the U.S. after already launching commercial opera

Google Won’t Have to Sell Chrome Browser After All (But There’s a Catch)

A federal judge ruled in a high-profile antitrust case against Google on Tuesday with some good news and bad news for the tech giant. The good news for Google is that it won’t have to sell off its Chrome browser, which was a very real possibility. Google’s stock soared in after hours trading on the news. The bad news for Google was that it will be required to share data with its rivals and can’t sign many of the exclusive contracts that helped the company become so dominant in the industry. Th

EU Gets Cold Feet Over Google Fine, Fears Potential Trump Backlash

The European Union has put plans to fine Google on hold. The commission in charge of doling out punishment for digital infractions is reportedly worried that fining the U.S. tech giant for allegedly abusing its dominance in online advertising could provoke U.S. President Donald Trump. Bloomberg and Reuters reported, citing unnamed sources, that E.U. officials had planned to announce the antitrust sanction on Monday; however, that deadline came and went without an announcement. The Commission h

OpenAI Gets Conspiracy-Brained, Sues Nonprofits

Sam Altman and Elon Musk have been locked in an ongoing standoff over the fact that OpenAI has operated like a for-profit business despite its nonprofit status. The fight, which has been ongoing in the court of public opinion for years and in the actual courts for months, is starting to rack up collateral damage. According to a report from the San Francisco Standard, critics of OpenAI have started receiving subpoenas from the AI firm over what the company’s leadership seems to believe is a consp

Tesla’s 4th ‘Master Plan’ reads like LLM-generated nonsense

Tesla has published its fourth “Master Plan,” and at a high level it is about how the company wants to lead the charge into planet-wide adoption of humanoid robots and sustainable energy. But the post lacks an important building block of plans: specifics. Even CEO Elon Musk agrees. In one of his only posts about the plan since it was published on Monday — sandwiched in between a steady stream of transphobia and immigration panic — he agreed it was fair to criticize the lack of specifics and sa

Cloudflare hit by data breach in Salesloft Drift supply chain attack

Cloudflare is the latest company impacted in a recent string of Salesloft Drift breaches, part of a supply-chain attack disclosed last week.

Tesla has a new master plan—it just doesn’t have any specifics

Yesterday afternoon, while much of the country enjoyed Labor Day, Tesla CEO Elon Musk published a new master plan for the company to his social media platform. It's the fourth such document for Tesla, replacing the goals Musk laid out in 2023 when he said the company would sell 20 million EVs a year in 2030. This time, it is not entirely sure what Tesla's plan actually entails. The text, which was reads as though it was written by AI, is at times anodyne, at times confusing, but always free of s

Salesforce is having a bad year. This is where investors want to see growth

Marc Benioff, co-founder and CEO of Salesforce, attends the 50th World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21, 2020. There was a moment, during the pandemic-fueled growth days of 2020, when Salesforce surpassed Oracle by market cap. Marc Benioff had finally toppled his protege, Larry Ellison. That moment is long gone. Salesforce's stock price has dropped 25% this year, the worst performance in large-cap tech and the second-steepest decline in the Dow, beating only UnitedHealth . Mea

Tesla's latest 'Master Plan' isn't a mission statement, it's a discursive mess

Tesla has released part four of its so-called "Master Plan" in a post on X. Unlike the more focused " Secret Tesla Motors Master Plan ," which outlined concrete plans for future products, this "Master Plan Part IV" reads more like a rambling utopic fever dream that was partly written by Grok, while touching on Tesla's AI-powered products. Tesla says it intends to "deliver unconstrained sustainability without compromise," and that the company is "unifying our hardware and software at scale" in o
