Amazon loves a good retail holiday. Some companies give you Valentine’s Day. Amazon gives you “a week-long discount festival in March” and then acts surprised when you’re still thinking about Prime Day. And yet… here we are.

Airbnb Adds Private Airport Pickups: Welcome Pickups Partnership Signals the ‘Entire Trip’ Play
Airbnb has always been at its best when it’s solving the annoying parts of travel. Finding a place to stay? Sure. Messaging a host about late check-in? Fine.

AI Health Tools Are Everywhere. Do They Actually Work? Evidence, Regulation, and the Reality Check Healthcare Needs
AI in healthcare has entered its “there’s an app for that” era—except now it’s “there’s a model for that,” and it may be embedded in your radiology workflow, your insurer’s prior-auth portal, your clinician’s documentation tools, and your phone’s symptom checker. The trouble is that availability is not the same thing as effectiveness. In other…

AI insurance underwriting is past the pitch deck: Gradient AI lands CIBC growth capital—and the insurtech ‘scale test’ begins
AI-powered insurance underwriting has spent the last decade living a double life: dazzling conference demos on one hand, and quietly bumping into legacy policy systems (and grumpy regulators) on the other. This week, that tension got a little more interesting. On March 3, 2026, CIBC Innovation Banking announced it has provided growth capital financing to…
Apple’s ‘HomePad’ Smart Home Display Is (Still) Waiting on Siri: What a Fall 2026 Launch With iOS 27 Could Mean
Apple’s long-rumored smart home display — the one that keeps showing up in leaks like a Wi‑Fi-connected Loch Ness monster — is reportedly now targeting a fall 2026 debut tied to iOS 27 and a new, more capable Siri. That’s the gist of a new report from The Verge, written by Richard Lawler, citing a…

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Trailer Brings Jessica Jones Back — and Marvel’s Street-Level MCU Gets Interesting Again
Marvel has a long history of making big announcements the way a developer ships a “minor patch” that quietly changes half the codebase.

Is the Pentagon Allowed to Surveil Americans With AI? The Legal Loopholes, Data Broker Problem, and What Comes Next
AI is doing to surveillance what SSDs did to hard drives: it’s making something that used to be slow, noisy, and expensive suddenly fast, quiet, and—crucially—cheap enough to do at scale. That’s why the question posed by MIT Technology Review—“Is the Pentagon allowed to surveil Americans with AI?”—isn’t academic. It’s the kind of question that…
AI Agents Are Connecting to Everything — and Nobody’s Governing Them: Why Agent Governance Became the Hottest (and Messiest) New Control Plane
Somewhere in your infrastructure, an AI agent is running that nobody formally authorized. That line from Giant Swarm’s Dominik Schmidle is funny in the way smoke alarms are funny: it’s a clever sentence that also implies you may soon be explaining yourself to your CISO, your auditor, and that one engineer who still prints Jira…
