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:

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.

New Siri and I are spending a lot of time together. And yes, I'm already quite impressed. What do you want to know? What do you want me to test? TELL ME!

I train robots now. For money. I spent three weeks wearing a camera on my head and filming myself doing chores for MicroAGI’s Shift platform—all to create training data for robots. I also watched New York cleaning crews wear the cameras, capturing the work that robots might one day do themselves. Cool new side hustle OR dystopian nightmare? Watch our latest feature!

Like many people here, I was intrigued by shift's offer: free apartment cleaning in NYC in exchange for robot-training data. So I tried it. I was disappointed when the tech bros from the ad didn’t show up to clean…

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’s new Liquid Glass design makes iOS 26 the biggest iPhone software update in years. But how many people are just going to head straight to Settings and switch the Glass off?

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.

Hello from WWDC 2026! Remember last year when Apple told me it wasn’t building a chatbot? I have a feeling that’s about to change.

For the first time since about 2010 I was sad to not be at Computex this week. I’m genuinely excited about Nvidia's RTX Spark. The idea of having AI agents running locally on a laptop or desktop—not always in the cloud—is one of the most interesting shifts in computing. But—and this is a big BUT!—I’ve also covered tech long enough to remember a lot of promises about the future of the PC. Meanwhile, Apple’s M series have completely reshaped our expectations of performance and battery life. The hardware doesn’t arrive until the fall. I’ll be first in line to test whether this is truly a new era for PCs or just another keynote!

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.”

I’m convinced Apple’s iPhone autocorrect is getting worse. Yes, iOS 26.4 helped with fast-typing accuracy, but resetting my iPhone keyboard dictionary helped even more. Here's hoping iOS 27 and John Ternus can turnus it around.
