The Death of the “Copilot”
Let’s be real: “Copilots” were just fancy autocomplete for people who can’t write emails. It’s 2026. We’re done with that. Enter Agentic AI. These aren’t just bots you “chat” with; these are agents that actually do stuff. While you were sleeping, OpenAI launched GPT-5.3-Codex. It’s basically an AI that helps build itself. Recursive improvement is here, and it’s either the greatest productivity leap in history or the start of a very short movie where humans lose.
Amazon’s $200 Billion Flex
Amazon just announced they’re burning $200 billion this year. Why? Because they’re tired of paying humans to move boxes. They are shoving Agentic AI into “Physical AI” (robots). If you thought your job was safe because you “work with your hands,” think again. The goal is a warehouse that thinks, moves, and ships without a single coffee break. It’s brutal, efficient, and honestly, a little terrifying.
Europe Is Ghosting Silicon Valley
The EU finally grew a spine. They realized that if the US decides to flip the switch, Europe goes dark. France just told its employees to stop using Zoom and Teams. They’re building their own “Digital Independence.” It’s like a messy breakup where one person realizes they’ve been paying for their ex’s Netflix for ten years. Expect more “Sovereign Tech” and fewer American monopolies.
Your Privacy Is Still a Joke
“On-Device AI” is the big marketing lie of the year. They tell you “it stays on your phone” to make you feel warm and fuzzy. In reality, it just means they’re using your phone’s battery to do the processing for them. It’s “Private,” sure, until the next AI-driven exploit finds a way to mimic your behavioral biometrics.
