Trump is caught in an Epstein web of his own making

What happens when you spend decades seeding salacious stories about evil lurking in the halls of power, demanding evidence to prove basic truths, and questioning the veracity of that evidence once it’s presented? 

Donald Trump is finding out.

Over the last week, the president has been trying to fight his way out of a web of his own creation, as some of his truest followers in MAGA world call for the full release of the government’s investigative files concerning conv

They helped make Waymo go. Now they’re building AI-powered robots to solve America’s labor crisis

America’s demand for new infrastructure is surging, driven by the AI data center boom, clean energy projects, and a growing national housing crunch. Yet just as the country needs to build faster than ever, it’s facing a mounting challenge: a severe construction labor shortage. The U.S. construction industry is already

AI’s unfulfilled promise to small businesses

Over the past few years, artificial intelligence has dominated business conversations. What once felt like a futuristic concept is now a tangible, widely accessible tool, one that is now seen as table stakes for businesses.

AI’s greatest promise is efficiency. For small-business owners who wear multiple hats, this promise sounds like a dream, and for some la

Elon Musk used to be a movie hero. Now he’s the villain

I recently saw James Gunn’s new Superman movie, and as I sat there in the dark theater, I couldn’t help but think that Nicholas Hoult based his Lex Luthor on Elon Musk. Something about that smirk he kept flashing throughout the movie reminded me so much of the Tesla CEO’s. But Hoult’s mannerisms weren

Replit CEO: What really happened when AI agent wiped Jason Lemkin’s database (exclusive)

Late last week, an AI coding agent from Replit, an AI software development platform, delet

Medieval wellness is back—and it’s all over your FYP

Social media is overflowing with wellness hacks and tips. While some should be avoided at all costs, others may actually be rooted in medicinal practices dating back to the Dark Ages, new research suggests.

After examining hundreds of medieval manuscripts and compiling their findings into a catalog, a new international research project sheds fre

Two court cases against Elon Musk are putting Tesla’s self-driving tech in the spotlight, again

Elon Musk fought court cases on opposite coasts Monday, raising a question about the billionaire that could either speed his plan to put self-driving Teslas on U.S. roads or throw up a major roadblock: Can th

The rise of the CTO in the age of ‘business unusual’

Years ago, I spent a lot of time making the case for why IT mattered in large enterprises. It’s fair to say the landscape has changed—dramatically.

Where I once had to argue for IT’s strategic importance, I now find myself doing the opposite—pushing back on the exuberant view that technology alone can fix everything from poorly designed processes to unclear roles and responsibilities.

After decades of serving as essential—but often background—enablers of enterprise strate

Delta is just the beginning: How AI is going to put dynamic pricing into everything you buy

Summer vacation season is here, but it may be the last time Americans can travel affordably by plane—especially if Delta has its way.

As the world’s largest airline by annual revenue and the second-largest by passengers carried, Delta is a leader in the industry. That’s what makes its plans to use

This new smartphone is designed for old-school physical keyboard lovers

It seems the market has spoken when it comes to phones with physical keyboards. BlackBerry exited the mobile hardware business almost a decade ago, and its licensing partners like TCL appear to have given up on the idea as well. For better or worse, the world now largely runs on people typing and swiping words onto glass surfaces. 

That doesn’t mean the loss doesn’t sting for the diehards.
