Why the Internet You KNEW Is Already Dead

Sometime in June of 2026, without ceremony, human beings became a minority on the internet they built. Cloudflare, which manages traffic for millions of websites, reported that bots now generate 57.5% of web page requests. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince had predicted in March that the crossover wouldn’t happen until the end of 2027. It arrived more than a year early. Global defense and technology leader Thales, in its annual “Bad Bot Report,” argues that machines became the majority back in 2023.

The AI Platform That's Being Used to UNDRESS Women and Children

Hugging Face isn’t doing much to prevent the AI models it hosts from spitting out sexualized deepfakes. | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photos from Getty Images Hugging Face is being used to make nonconsensual deepfakes, and the popular open-source AI model repository is doing very little to prevent it.

Why Gen Z Uses AI Daily But Trusts It LESS Every Week

Earlier this year, we showed two of our interns, both bright young people in their twenties, an early build of an AI-generated presenter we were developing for training content. I expected them to take to her instantly. These are young people who grew up on social media and inside video games, people who had never known a world without smartphones and YouTube. They were the archetypal digital natives. If anyone would be comfortable with an AI avatar, surely it was them. I was wrong. To put it b

The Robot DOG Now Patrolling One of America's Busiest AIRPORTS

Inside the slick new Terminal B at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, a headless robotic “dog” is beginning to patrol the floors. As bemused airport travelers watch from close by, the four-wheeled device rolls around baggage claim, where it’s been deployed for a demonstration. Its job: sniffing. Well, sort of. The robot is armed with air quality detectors that the airport team says help monitor the terminal for pollutants.  This robot, along with two others, constitutes a fledgling automated fleet th

The AI Transformation Mistake That's Costing Companies EVERYTHING

Leaders love quick wins. When AI lands in their organization, the instinct is immediate: find repetitive tasks and automate them. Speed up invoice processing. Summarize customer emails. Route support tickets. As a result, metrics improve. Time savings appear. Progress feels real. But this is the biggest and most common mistake I see across industries: Companies are using artificial intelligence to accelerate workflows they should be eliminating. The result is faster versions of legacy processes

The Designer Who Wants to GROW the Colors on Your Clothes

At Oxman, a New York design studio, you’ll find four capes. They hang off a mannequin in soft folds, each knitted from a single piece of silk. Their color is uneven. Deep indigo collects in the ridges of the material, black shades in the valleys, blues appear in slightly crooked lines. The pigment is streaked and faded, so no two sections look the same. A commercial dye house would call this a defect and throw it out. But here, the inconsistency is the point. The color on the fabric was not prod

Yelp's AI Can Now Do Something RESTAURANTS Never Expected

When Alyssa Gangeri was running restaurants in New York more than a decade ago, Yelp was the bane of her existence, she says. She would regularly go down a rabbit hole, reading her restaurant’s reviews and scouring them for clues about when the diners had visited or who had served them. Both Gangeri and Yelp have evolved. Yelp has expanded beyond being a hub for reviews of local businesses into offering tools for those businesses. And today, Gangeri uses the company’s products to help run The Bu

Why Smart Rings Are About to Replace Your PHONE

Over the last few months, I've spent a lot of time talking to my computer. One underrated feature of the LLM revolution has been a remarkable leap in all kinds of dictation technology - even the fastest, cheapest models are getting very good at understanding and processing speech.

Why Logitech Just KILLED Its Handheld Gaming Plans

Logitech's new gaming boss, Robin Piispanen, tells me he likes the idea of gaming handhelds. "It's such a charming value proposition," he says, as we sip iced vanilla lattes at my local cafe. But he's not building one right now. He's not sure when or if Logitech should try again, after its underwhelming experiment with the Logitech G Cloud streaming handheld. "Right now, in this moment in time, there's bigger things for us to focus on than doing a second G Cloud," he tells me. Personally, I fe

The ONE Problem AI Still Can't SOLVE

Until recently, governance felt like a solved problem—critical but entirely manageable. With the rise of AI, it is now the dominant enterprise anxiety. AI projects are stalling because companies lack the governance, visibility, and controls to deploy them effectively. I’ve watched this pattern play out across industries over the past two years. Organizations that moved quickly on adoption saw strong results in isolated use cases, but soon discovered their accountability infrastructure had not ke

The Data Center Sound People Are Calling TORTURE

People have found plenty to dislike about data centers, from their massive energy and water usage to their potential to drive up the cost of living in surrounding areas. But perhaps the biggest anxiety around data center development is the threat of noise pollution, and one Michigan community in crisis is arguing that living down the block from a data center can be nightmarish. Since 2024, residents in Dowagiac, Michigan, have reported nonstop noise from a local data center, not only making it u

Twelve South's Charging Tray Gets a Power UPGRADE

Following the original's debut at CES earlier this year, Twelve South is introducing a new version of its leather-wrapped Valet charging tray designed for use in places where space is at a premium. While the original Valet was 7.5-inches deep and large enough to serve as a catchall for a couple of items like your wallet and keys, the new Valet nearly halves that to 4.5-inches deep, so it's better suited for single items, like a pair of glasses. Despite being smaller, the new Valet brings some we

The Budget Handheld Fan That Actually BEATS the Heat

Why These Sleepbuds Are Just the BEGINNING

A couple of years ago, I started falling asleep with Apple’s AirPods Pro in my ears. I’m a side sleeper, so this involves trying to carefully tuck my head into my pillow in a way that minimizes ear pain. It also means being jolted awake by low battery warnings during the night, then waiting for enough charge to pop them back in again. The ordeal is worthwhile, though, just to block out snores and calm my racing brain with a podcast or some ambient noise. This makes me an ideal candidate for Ozlo

Why OpenAI Just Told ChatGPT to Stop Being SOMEONE ELSE
