My dad was my best friend. We could finish each other's sentences, and we spoke every day of my life about business, politics, life, and most importantly, family. He passed away last night (Nov 12th) with all of us at his side. Until the last minute, he worked with us on everything from his obituary, to what he wanted at his funeral, and how we can keep his legacy alive (including our strong PEI roots in Georgetown and beyond). He was the healthiest person I knew, active for 3 hours a day through his late 70s until a sudden AML leukemia diagnosis this spring rocked our lives. My dad fought so hard throughout this battle, and he never complained. The nurses would ask him how he was doing and he would smile, compliment their "terrific" work, and ask them about their lives. Late in the summer, the chemo started to work so we had him home with us on PEI where we enjoyed many wonderful days. Unfortunately, this past Friday, things took a turn for the worse and we rushed from our home in Toronto to be by his side. The leukemia had returned with a vengeance, and the chemo was no longer working. I am grateful that we had six extra (and often tough) months with him thanks to modern medicine and phenomenal healthcare teams in both Toronto (@Sunnybrook) and on the Island (@QEHFoundation). Also, more than 50 blood transfusions kept him alive throughout this time and gave him more better days than worse (thank you @CanadasLifeline - if you can donate, please do). My dad's funeral is this Saturday, which will be a celebration of his incredible life. I look forward to sharing more about him, but it will undoubtedly be the toughest speech of my life because you couldn't possibly sum up what he meant to me and so many others in such a short amount of time. facebook.com/share/p/jtYo6V… Love you, Dad xo

'That’s the big problem with chatbots—they will cite sources, they will say facts that are not facts. Then maybe there’s a little asterisk down at the bottom that says,”Sorry, some things here might not be true, double check all of them.” Which is just absurd.' hackernoon.com/this-journalis…

I’m excited to announce a partnership with @Uber. As part of this, Uber plans to invest up to $1.25 billion in Rivian and deploy up to 50,000 R2 robotaxis. This partnership accelerates our path to Level 4 autonomy and supports our goal of building one of the safest autonomous platforms in the world—across both shared and personally owned vehicles. The combination of Rivian’s rapidly growing data flywheel, our in-house RAP1 inference platform (800 TOPS), and our multi-modal perception stack provides a powerful foundation to scale autonomy quickly and responsibly over the next couple of years.

A fleet of R2 Robotaxis is coming exclusively to @Uber. ⚡🌿 Today, we announced a partnership to help both companies accelerate their autonomous vehicle plans across 25 cities in the US, Canada and Europe by the end of 2031. rivn.co/uber

🍎 Steve Jobs was ruthlessly focused. Within 12 years, he launched the iMac, the iPod, iTunes, the iPhone, the iPad, & more. 🤯 Listen/watch in full here: bio.site/ambermac I asked @pogue (get his new book on Apple) how Jobs achieved this. cc @jeffmacarthur

"Of course, there are compromises. As well as the limited amount of memory, the MacBook Neo doesn’t come with a backlight behind the keyboard, so finding the right keys in darker environments can be an issue, and the two USB-C ports use older and slower USB 3 and USB 2 tech. Despite those compromises, Apple has made easily the best budget laptop you can buy in 2026." techradar.com/computing/macb…

I know quite a bit about Apple having covered them on & off for 20 years now, but I still learned new things just in this interview from The @AmberMac Show, so I'm really looking forward to reading @Pogue's new book, Apple: The First 50 Years!

Great new ep of The AmberMac Show w/ tech journalist David Pogue talking about his new book, Apple: The First 50 Years. In tech news: Trump's giant TikTok payday, a disturbing study on the dangers of chatbots facilitating violence, & the social site that shut down b/c it had the courage to admit it was overrun with bots. In TheOtherMac, Jeff breaks down some out-of-control online subscription services. ambermac.com/the-ambermac-s…

"Elon Musk announced… Tesla’s Terafab Project, a plan to build what he envisions as the world’s largest semiconductor fabrication plant, will launch within 7 days. The problem is that Tesla has absolutely zero experience manufacturing semiconductors, & its track record in the closest comparable venture, building its own battery cells, should give anyone pause." electrek.co/2026/03/16/tes…
