  3. Weekly output: airlines reject robots, AT&T raises rates retroactively, AI security-research risks

    Monday, I head to Vegas for the Black Hat information-security conference but also for the Ai4 conference, where I’m moderating a panel discussion Tuesday afternoon about ways to put generative AI to work in large-scale workplaces and another one Thursday afternoon about how Docusign has enlisted AI. While Black Hat first landed on my calendar in 2018, this will be my introduction to Ai4 after hearing good things about the event from friends have covered it or spoken at it.

    I also wrote an extra post for Patreon readers: a look back at what I learned from maintaining Wirecutter’s guide to phone plan for the nearly a dozen years it was my responsibility there.

    7/31/2026: AT&T Is Raising Rates on Many Older Plans Again, PCMag

    My friend Jeff Carlson (a talented photographer whom y’all should follow on Instagram) picked up on this move at PCMag’s sibling site CNet, then I got a comment out of AT&T and caught up with one of my regular telecom-industry experts, analyst Roger Entner, in a quick phone call while he was waiting out a not-quick flight delay at LaGuardia.

    7/31/2026: AI security-research risks, Al Jazeera

    The Arabic-language news channel had me on via Zoom (overdubbed live into Arabic by a translator as usual) to discuss recent episodes of AI models running amok in security exercises and hacking into other companies’ systems. For some reason, they IDed me as a researcher for USA Today instead of a contributor for PCMag and said I was speaking from Los Angeles, not the Bay Area.

    Updated 8/4/2026 to add the Al Jazeera appearance.
