Firstly, can confirm I’ve never had an editor at The Verge or any other publication give feedback worded like this.
Secondly, AI is godawful at writing and editing because it HAS NO EDITORIAL TASTE.
Valve has updated a blog post to say that it is shipping the Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller in 2026.
NEW: Despite indicating earlier today in a post that the Steam Machine and its other new Steam hardware may not launch this year, Valve told The Verge that its launch plans haven't changed.
The post now says: "we will be shipping all three products this year."

It's not looking good for a Steam Machine launch. "We hope to ship in 2026," says Valve. www.theverge.com/games/890986...
The feature, which launched in August, claims to help you “sharpen your message through the lens of industry-relevant perspectives.” When users select the “expert review” button in the Grammarly sidebar, it analyzes their writing and surfaces AI-generated suggestions “inspired by” related experts. Those “industry-relevant perspectives” include the likes of Stephen King, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Carl Sagan, among many others. The Verge found numerous other tech journalists named in the feature, as well, including former Verge editors Casey Newton and Joanna Stern, former Verge writer Monica Chin, Wired’s Lauren Goode, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Jason Schreier, the New York Times’ Kashmir Hill, The Atlantic’s Kaitlyn Tiffany, PC Gamer’s Wes Fenlon, Gizmodo’s Raymond Wong, Digital Foundry founder Richard Leadbetter, Tom’s Guide editor-in-chief Mark Spoonauer, former Rock Paper Shotgun editor-in-chief Katharine Castle, and former IGN news director Kat Bailey. The descriptions for some experts contain inaccuracies, such as outdated job titles, which could have been accurately updated had Superhuman asked those people for permission to reference their work.
The endpoint of journalism is that an AI startup turns you into a fake "editor" without telling you and against your will www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

In a new post, the company now says “we hope to ship in 2026” — a vaguer timeline than the first half of 2026 goal Valve shared last month — which it attributes to the ongoing shortages of memory and storage chips.

The Trump administration says it can’t process tariff refunds because of computer problems
Went into The AI Doc hoping that having access to OpenAI / Anthropic / DeepMind's leaders would lead to a thoughtful analysis of how this technology is impacting society. Came out convinced that a lot of Hollywood types are too easily dazzled by AI to make serious movies about this stuff. My review:
When @vicmsong.bsky.social and I talked about how covering fitness and wearable tech meant her beat now included wellness... well, I told her it was going to get bad and weird fast www.theverge.com/column/88992...
Nintendo is suing the US government for a refund of Trump’s illegal tariffs
The AI Doc is an overwrought hype piece for doomers and accelerationists alike

This is how you do it people
Last month, Anthropic told @haydenfield.bsky.social "Claude, and other AI models, are a new kind of entity altogether." Anthropic is "investigating" "questions about potential ... consciousness ... but we remain deeply uncertain about these topics." Great way to keep up the hype!
i wrote about hidden object games for the verge!!! it's about the art of hidden object games and how hidden folks inspired a new wave of them, including lost and found co. (super cute game!!), which is out today. more here:
Trump’s surgeon general nominee is running the wellness grifter playbook perfectly
From Casey Means' own book: "the ability to prevent and reverse" conditions like cancer and Alzheimer's "—and feel incredible today—is under your control and simpler than you think."
This week on The Optimizer, @vicmsong.bsky.social lays out how wellness influencers exploit public hopelessness.
The “M2x2” is largely a 3D-printed case for a Mac Mini — one you can freely print at home yourself — but it’s not just a shell. It's outfitted with a 7-inch IPS touchscreen display, and a full array of additional ports and SD card reader thanks to an integrated USB-C hub.
This week’s Optimizer is about the wellness grifter playbook… and how perfectly Casey Means executes it.
