Every App Gets Worse Over Time Except This One Most tech platforms follow the same cycle: serve users, chase growth, then slowly make everything worse. After reading about “enshittification,” one platform stood out as the exception. eBay never forgot what it was built for. It still does the same simple thing it did years ago: help people buy and sell each other’s stuff. No forced reinvention. No algorithm circus. Just utility. If you can name another platform that stayed true like this, I want to hear it. #TechTrends #PlatformEconomy #Enshittification #eBay #DigitalCulture #ProductStrategy #InternetHistory #TechCommentary

NBC debut moment! I had so much fun talking with NBC 5 Chicago anchor Evrad Cassimy about ChatGPT, age estimation, and the future of online safety. As we talked about, we’re officially moving in with AI, out with the honor system, as platforms are being forced to shift away from self-reported ages and toward real accountability for protecting kids online. This is bigger than one feature or one country. It’s a global signal that AI is becoming more regulated, more identity-aware, and more responsible without (ideally) sacrificing privacy. Thanks so much to the NBC 5 team for having me on to break down what OpenAI is rolling out, why it’s happening now, and what it means for users next. @OpenAI @ChatGPTapp @NBCNews @nbcchicago Full Segment Link: youtube.com/watch?v=t8DAVc_o… #NBC5 #TVDebut #ChatGPT #AITrends #TechCommentary #DigitalSafety #AIRegulation

On Schwab Network’s The Watch List today, I spoke with anchor Nicole Petallides about what’s really happening under the surface in tech and AI in early 2026. The recent pullback in tech doesn’t look like something is breaking IMO…it looks more like digestion. My research shows that after a massive AI-driven rally, some rotation and profit-taking was overdue. But, the fundamentals are still intact: earnings expectations, balance sheets, and demand for AI, cloud, and semiconductors remain very, very real. What has changed is the tone. Investors have moved from excitement to execution. This is the accountability phase of the AI trade…the Jerry Magquire moment of “Show me the money /revenue,” not just the vision. Companies now have to justify AI capex, demonstrate ROI, and prove they can monetize, not just experiment. With Big Tech earnings coming up, expectations are high. For Apple, Tesla, Meta, Alphabet, and names like Microsoft and Amazon, this earnings season is a gut check on execution, margins, and discipline. Big promises and AI washing won’t cut it anymore. We also talked about Nvidia and new China export requirements. Yes, there’s def friction and uncertainty, especially for high-margin chips like the H200. But the bigger picture hasn’t changed. AI demand is still being driven by U.S. hyperscalers and allied markets, not China. As we’ve seen for a while now, geopolitics is now just part of the semiconductor landscape. Where AI accountability is showing up first is software. AI can’t be bundled in for free anymore. Pricing power, customer adoption, and real revenue matter 100%. My bottom line: tech isn’t one trade anymore. This is a stock-picker’s market. The companies being rewarded are the ones tying AI directly to customers, contracts, and pricing, not narratives.

I joined Nicole Petallides on The Schwab Network show, The Watch List, to talk about the status of the data center build-out for the AI era. Basically, it’s only just beginning. J.P. Morgan forecasts around 122 GW of new global data center capacity from 2026–2030, signaling a wave of large-scale industrial construction. We're not talking more server rentals. Annual investment needs could hit $700 billion by 2026 and surge past $1.4 trillion by 2030! But, there are some pretty big infrastructure constraints. For example, power grid upgrades, gas turbine lead times, and water or cooling limitations are all slowing expansion. Investors are racing to fund deals as demand nearly doubles this decade, but delays, permitting bottlenecks, and grid shortages mean capital outpaces actual build progress. Major winners so far? Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia. The bottom line? Record dollars are ready, but unlocking the next phase depends on solving energy, construction, and technology bottlenecks. The future hinges on ramping up real-world infrastructure for AI’s exploding needs.

Did you hear that authorities investigating the Palisades fire suspect are looking at his ChatGPT searches? But how much access can law enforcement actually get from AI systems? On-air at iHeartRadio’s KFBK Morning News,I broke down why no U.S. law yet specifically governs AI data in criminal cases, what the Fourth Amendment and Carpenter v. United States mean for digital privacy, and how California’s new AI rules and the EU’s AI Act are shaping the future of AI regulation. The bottom line: It’s still a legal gray zone, and every new case will help define how AI data fits into privacy law.

“Made in America” may sound appealing, but who does it really serve? The debate over bringing iPhone production to the U.S. is loud—but the practical challenges are often overlooked. I joined @CarolineHydeTV and @EdLudlow on @BloombergTV this week to explain why @Apple's finely tuned global supply chain can’t be easily replicated stateside. Building that infrastructure here would take years, cost billions, and still result in few new jobs—many of which are already being automated. And for consumers? Likely higher prices and slower innovation.#Apple #iPhone #Manufacturing #SupplyChain #TechPolicy #BloombergTV #MadeInAmerica #TechCommentary
