Power Bites - February 20, 2026
<p>Anthropic raises $30 billion and its CEO admits he's struggling to keep his values. Elon Musk ships four AI agents that argue with each other before answering you. Microsoft stores data in kitchen glass for 10,000 years. A former speechwriter for Zuckerberg and Musk launches a nonprofit saying we're "sleepwalking into disaster." And 30,700 tech workers lost their jobs in six weeks. This week didn't just make headlines, it rewrote the rules. I break it all down in this week's PowerBites, where I connect the dots between the biggest moves in AI, business, and tech so you don't have to. PowerBites is...
Power Bites - February 13, 2026
<p>Friday the 13th - and the scariest stories this week aren't fiction. China just unleashed a coordinated AI blitz that rivals the DeepSeek shock from exactly one year ago. Microsoft's AI chief predicted most white-collar jobs will be fully automated within 18 months. And the people whose job was to keep AI safe at Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI? They're quitting — one of them to go study poetry. Oh, and Elon Musk announced plans for an AI factory on the moon. If that doesn't give you chills on a Friday the 13th, I don't know what will. </p><p>🎧 PowerBites is availa...
Power Bites - February 6, 2026
<p>This week, a single AI plugin erased $285 billion from the global software market in one day. Bitcoin lost half its value. Goldman Sachs started calling AI agents "digital colleagues." An AI model found 500 security bugs that humans missed for decades. And a social network for bots hit 1.5 million users — then got hacked. I break it all down in this week's PowerBites — what it means, who wins, who's already too late, and what you should do about it on Monday morning. PowerBites is available as a weekly newsletter here on LinkedIn — en español los lunes, in English on Fridays — and as a...
Power Bites - January 30, 2026
<p>This week, $150 billion chased a single AI company. Elon Musk spent his Saturdays designing chips he calls "existential." A paralyzed medical student moved a cursor with his thoughts and called it "magical." And we learned what happens when you "hoover up a ton of the internet" to train AI models—spoiler: it's not pretty. These aren't separate stories. They're chapters of the same transformation happening right now.

Power Bites - January 16, 2026
<p>This week, a robot learned to speak 10 languages by watching YouTube. OpenAI committed $10 billion to a single chip deal. Apple sent staff to Japan begging for glass fibers. And Zuckerberg's AI chief called his management style "suffocating." What do these stories have in common?

Power Bites - January 2, 2026
<p><b>🎙️ 2025 was the year AI stopped being a promise and became a reality—and most people missed it.</b></p><p>While headlines panicked about DeepSeek and dismissed GPT-5 as "underwhelming," the real revolution was happening quietly: Claude Code turned non-coders into builders, reasoning models learned to think step-by-step, and the gap between "I have an idea" and "I have a working prototype" essentially collapsed. In this week's PowerBites, I break down what actually happened, what the noise got wrong, and the three things you need to do RIGHT NOW to lead in 2026—not just survive it. Ready to stop watc...
Power Bites - December 19, 2025
<p>Geoffrey Hinton warns tech giants are betting everything on replacing workers—without asking who'll buy their products when those workers are gone. Meanwhile, your ChatGPT conversations can now be used against you in court (and most people have no idea), OpenAI faces eight wrongful death lawsuits over teen suicides, and 60% of companies got hit by AI cyberattacks while only 7% have defenses. This week's PowerBites unpacks the paradox of December 2025: we're building AI at machine speed while society struggles to keep up. The question isn't whether AI will transform everything—it's whether we're ready for what comes next.</p>
