EDITOR'S NOTE
Language can hide as much as it reveals -- an innocuous naming convention,
like “the cloud,” for example, obscures the truth about how a loud metal data
factory really operates.
While it’s far from a new practice in tech, it’s becoming clear that AI labs
are especially adept at language slight-of-hand, or perhaps need to rely on it
right now. Big names in AI rattle off half-promises, concepts andcountdowns to
artificial general intelligence
, adapting statements on the fly to slither around technical realities.
Several stories in this issue trace this theme. Whether the goal is to buy a
bit more time, juice stock, gather some goodwill from the public or earnestly
work through a bug, it’s a game for which transparency can pose a problem.
That dynamic is especially precarious for those outside the inner circle of
the AI world, who are still learning -- or fighting against -- that dance.
In this edition:
• AI browser tool faceoff
• Data center delusions
• AI and labor at VidCon 2026

“The single largest IPO in history has arisen from what is perhaps the least
serious claim ever made about AI.
”
— ExtremeTech contributor Graham Templeton on SpaceX’s orbital data center push
MUST READ
Apple's Price Hikes Aren't Just an AI Problem
Everyday inflation is colliding with the rising cost of tech, driven largely
by AI infrastructure expansion. Chips are hard to come by as data centers
gobble up much of the available components needed for compute. As a result,
Apple is raising prices
on Macs, iPads and more -- to the displeasure of many.
AI has already become a straining point between legacy tech companies and
their customers. New features crowding familiar interfaces have alienated and
angered many people who prefer what they’re used to, or who have broader
hesitations about using AI. Now, that tension is trickling from software to
hardware, and posing the question: Should tech companies do more to protect
consumers? Do regular people really have to foot the bill for the AI experiment?
CNET’s Laura Michelle Davis investigates the details
, separating company narratives from hard profit numbers to find an answer.
