Amazon’s AI Power Move: Alexa+ Commands the Web
In partnership with
AI Daybreak: Your Daily Dose of Silicon Beach Madness
By Tommy Vee
Happy Monday, fellas! While the rest of the world sleeps, AI is quietly flipping the rules on everything you thought was normal. From Nvidia buying the future with billions, to Alexa sneaking out of your living room and into your browser, to delivery drivers faking dinners with bots smarter than your neighbor, 2026 is already shaping up to be a wild, unstoppable ride. Buckle up, because the machines aren’t creeping in, they’re sprinting, and if you blink, you’ll miss the next big play.
Nvidia’s AI Empire: When Selling Chips Wasn’t Enough
Nvidia isn’t just riding the AI wave, they’re owning the damn ocean. Under Jensen Huang’s watch, the company has gone from selling GPUs to quietly wiring itself into every layer of the AI stack, backing heavyweight model labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and xAI, while also fueling the infrastructure that keeps these systems alive. Some bets explode, some flame out, but the strategy is crystal clear: wherever AI grows, Nvidia’s silicon is already in the ground. And 2026 isn’t shaping up to slow things down, it looks like the year AI goes from impressive to unavoidable, with Nvidia positioned as the toll booth everyone has to drive through. Different winners, same outcome, Nvidia gets paid.

The goal isn't shorter. It's clearer. And clearer gets results.
Amazon’s AI Power Move: Alexa+ Commands the Web
Amazon just taught Alexa a whole new trick, it doesn’t need an Echo anymore. The company has pushed its AI-powered assistant, now called Alexa+, straight onto the web and into a revamped mobile app so you can type at it instead of yelling commands into thin air. This thing can do way more than flip lights or tell you the weather, it can check your calendar, build grocery lists, plan trips, manage your smart home, suggest recipes and movie nights, even add items to your Amazon Fresh cart while you are answering emails. By bringing Alexa+ into a browser, Amazon smashes the old voice assistant stuck in a speaker stereotype and throws down against ChatGPT, Gemini and the rest with a full-blown chatbot interface that is hanging out wherever you are online. Bottom line, Alexa is no longer a helper in your living room, it is trying to be an assistant everywhere you live your life.

No Food, Just Lies: AI Tricks DoorDash
Welcome to 2026, where even your dinner delivery can get ghosted by a bot artist. In Austin, a DoorDash driver figured out how to fake a completed delivery by slapping an AI-generated photo into the app and calling it a day. No food, no knock, just pixels and deception that looked real enough to fool a casual glance. The company acted fast, yanking the driver’s account forever and refunding the customer while making it clear fraud will not fly on its platform. This shows that generative AI is not just rewriting essays or crafting art, it is already bending the rules in everyday life and forcing delivery services to rethink how they trust what they see on a screen.
