AI becomes infrastructure, not product
Latest Processing Gap
The gap: AI discourse has split into two parallel tracks that never meet. One track processes AI as product (features, releases, benchmarks).

MWC 2026 revealed the shift: Lenovo rolling AI across 20+ device families, Apple's reimagined Siri targeting March release with on-screen awareness and cross-app integration, GSMA launching Open Telco AI because frontier models "aren't adequate" for telecom-specific tasks. Meanwhile, "vibe hacking" enters the lexicon — hackers using AI not to learn attack methodologies but to skip them entirely, following intuition guided by generative models. AI infrastructure companies are locking in chip supp ...
