OK, OK, I get it now. Claude Code is amazing. So amazing that we vibe coded an entire The Wall Street Journal article and our in-house devs had to do very little work.

Meta AI, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini and ChatGPT now all have freakishly human voices. So there was only one thing to do: Strap all the chatbots to a tripod, take it to a cabin deep into the woods and see if we could be... friends? Kumbaya, everyone. Kumbaya. My latest The Wall Street Journal column + video:

Well, it finally happened. I like foldable phones. Don't know the last time I liked a Samsung phone as much as I like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8.

iOS 27 public beta is out. It’s the first beta in years (maybe ever?) that feels stable enough for me to recommend on day one. Now, good luck getting off the Siri waitlist.

Apple has an AI book slop problem. A big one. A month ago, I found more than ten AI knockoffs of my book on Apple Books. Apple took them down. Today, others have popped up. Same problem for many other bestsellers.

With the latest Apple Intelligence / Siri delays, I’ve been thinking about my October interview with Apple’s Craig Federighi. As he put it, it’s a “many-year—even decades-long” effort to enhance Apple Intelligence and improve Siri. The problem for Apple, as my second question gets at, they’ve been marketing it NOW.

Apple just announced Apple Upgrade, a new program that lets you lease an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch. Details in the video below. For some reason, leasing a laptop feels so much weirder to me than leasing a phone but I bet a lot of people will do it.

Apple's Craig Federighi confirms it is still Apple's mission to create a Siri that's as good—if not better—than the competition. And that they are working hard on it.

Sam Altman vs. Mark Zuckerberg: Who runs the better meeting? Kevin Weil, OpenAI’s Chief Product Officer, has worked for both. On Zuckerberg: “Mark is more structured than Sam.... he's always open to feedback. You can say, I think you're wrong and here's why, but you better be ready for the debate that's coming on the other end of it because he has a reason why he thinks what he does." On Altman: “Sam is more of a visionary. He’s better at riding exponentials than the rest of us—he sees where things are headed and focuses on what we need to do to be ready for it.”
