  1. Weekly output: Uber and Lucid’s robotaxi, Craig Newmark on dodging scams, Jensen Huang on engineering, Better Offline podcast

    I got back from CES Friday morning, which means I’ve now more or less caught up with my sleep deficit from those frenetic five days in Las Vegas but still have a lot of writing to do.

    1/5/2026: This Is the Robotaxi That Lucid and Nuro Are Building for Uber, PCMag

    1/7/2026: Craiglist’s founder has some simple rules for not losing your mind—or money—on the internet, Fast Company

    1/7/2026: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: This Is Why I’m Lucky to Be an Engineer, PCMag

    1/8/2026: CES 2026: Part Seven (Thursday), Better Offline

    As I did last year, I wrapped up CES by joining tech gadfly Ed Zitron’s Better Offline podcast at the hotel suite he booked in Vegas for a lengthy conversation about what we saw at the show and what that says about the state of technology. My fellow guests in this Thursday night recording session: standup comedian Chloe Radlciffe and fellow writers Garrison Davis, Robert EvansWestin Lee, and Ed Ongweso. After some post-recording banter, I went from there to the airport and fell asleep within maybe 10 minutes of takeoff.

    “I want to keep the focus on giving nearly all my money away to worthy causes, not how much I’ve made. I wish everyone who has been as fortunate as I have been would do the same.”

  3. If Craig Newmark really wants to make a difference, his philanthropy should be giving to all of the surviving independent newspapers, a sector he single-handedly destroyed.

    The resulting media concentration and the death of local news is a major contributor to the state we find ourselves in, where we have to express relief that a man with obvious brain damage lost a Senate election by a little over one percent of the vote.
