The Verizon outage yesterday was surprising to me. I use Visible, Verizon’s discount carrier, which uses the Verizon network. My phone worked the entire day without issue. www.cnn.com/2026/01/14/t...

Given Microsoft’s aggressive efforts to encourage customers to adopt Copilot and AI services, it baffles me why MS Teams lacks the ability to summarize threads and messages and only surface time sensitive notifications. This seems like something AI would be very capable of.

2026 prediction: Career fairs make a comeback. As AI floods both sides of hiring, signal gets noisier and fit is harder to judge. Face-to-face human interaction becomes the differentiator.

Amazon is aggressively promoting the Nova Act, but I find Playwright + Claude models to be quite good already. The argument is that there’s a special model Nova trained with reenforcement learning with the browser automation tool. I’d love to see an objective comparison of both approaches.

Instead of invading everyone’s privacy with age-verification laws, how about parents step up and do their job? This Michigan bill is ridiculous.

Michigan bill would restrict social media use for those under 18
The legislation would also give parents tools to monitor and limit their children's social media activity.

I've been wanting a site/place that aggregates Anthropic-related AI news. This weekend, I created a simple Cloudflare site for this called anthropicnews.com. It's still very much a work I progress, but I thought I'd share.

Welp, I guess it's time for me to switch to AT&T Fiber or Wowway Internet. I am getting sick and tired of Comcast/Xfinity charging me for overages when I use more than 1.2TB of data. That's not that much data these days.
