It’s been a minute, folks! As you might recall, the newsletter took a little holiday break. We’re back and well into 2026. And a lot has happened since the last edition. 

I spent the first week of the year at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. And while I wrote about this last January, it’s worth repeating: U.S. automakers have left the building. 

What has filled the void in the Las Vegas Convention Center? Autonomous vehicle tech companies (Zoox, Tensor Auto, Tier IV, and Waymo, which rebranded its Zeekr RT, to name a few), Chinese automakers like Geely and GWM, software and automotive chip companies, and loads of what Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang calls “physical AI.” 

The term, which is sometimes called “embodied AI,” describes the use of AI outside the digital world and into the real, physics-based one. AI models, combined with sensors, cameras, and the motorized controls, allow that physical thing — humanoid robot, drone, autonomous forklift, robotaxi — to detect and understand what’s in this real environment and make decisions to operate within it. And it was all over the place from agriculture and robotics to autonomous vehicles and drones, industrial manufacturing, and wearables. 

Hyundai had one of the busiest and largest exhibits with a near-constant line wrapped around the entrance. The Korean automaker wasn’t showing cars. Nope, it was robots of various forms, including the Atlas humanoid robot, courtesy of its subsidiary Boston Dynamics. There were also innovations that have come out of Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB, including a robot that charges electric autonomous vehicles, and a four-wheel electric platform called the Mobile Eccentric Droid (MobEd) that is going into production this year. It seems everyone was embracing and showcasing robotics, particularly humanoids. 

The hype around humanoids, specifically, and physical AI, in general, was palpable. I asked Mobileye co-founder and president Amnon Shashua about this because his company just bought his humanoid robotics startup for $900 million: “What do you say when people tell you humanoid robots are all hype?”

“The internet was also a hype, remember in 2000, the crisis of the internet,” Shashua said. “It did not mean that [the] internet is not a real thing. Hype means that companies are overvalued for a certain period of time, and then they crash. It does not mean that the domain is not real. I believe that the domain of humanoids is real.”

A few notable stories from CES:

Mobileye acquires humanoid robot startup Mentee Robotics for $900M

President Trump made comments this week at a Detroit Economic Club meeting about welcoming Chinese automakers into the United States that did not sit well with many in the auto industry, according to insiders I have spoken to. Specifically, I have been told the Alliance for Automotive Innovation (the industry lobbying group) is “freaking out,” one DC insider told me. 

“If they want to come in and build a plant and hire you and hire your friends and your neighbors, that’s great, I love that,” Trump said, according to reporters in attendance. “Let China come in, let Japan come in.”

A couple of notes. Japanese companies like Toyota are already very much in the United States. The bigger hurdle, beyond protests from within the boardrooms of U.S. automakers, is existing law. In 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security issued a rule that restricts the import and sale of certain connected vehicles and related hardware and software linked to China or Russia. This essentially bans the sale of Chinese vehicles in the country. 

Avery Ash, who is CEO of SAFE, a nonpartisan organization focused on securing U.S. energy, critical materials, and supply chains, weighed in about the dangers of allowing Chinese automakers to sell their vehicles in the United States. Side note: Ash was on my podcast, the Autonocast, which touches on some of this subject.

“Welcoming Chinese automakers to build cars here in the U.S. will reverse these hard-won accomplishments and put Americans at risk,” he said. ”We’ve seen this strategy backfire in Europe and elsewhere — it would have potentially catastrophic impacts on our automotive industry, have ripple effects on our entire defense industrial base, and make every American less secure.”

Meanwhile, Canada is opening the door to Chinese automakers. Canadian prime minister Mark Carney announced his country will slash its 100% import tax on Chinese EVs to just 6.1%, Sean O’Kane reports.

Bluspark Global, a New York-based shipping and supply chain software company, didn’t realize its platform was vulnerable and open to anyone on the internet. Here’s how a security researcher (and TechCrunch) got it fixed.

The Federal Trade Commission finalized an order that bans General Motors and its OnStar telematics service from sharing certain consumer data with consumer reporting agencies. Read the full story on what that means.

InDrive, the company that started as a ride-hailing platform that lets users set the price, is diversifying and starting to execute on its “super app” strategy. That means more in-app advertising across its top 20 markets and expanding grocery delivery to Pakistan. Read the full story here. 

Motional, the majority Hyundai-owned autonomous vehicle company, has rebooted. When Motional paused its operations last year, I wasn’t sure it was going to survive. Other AV companies with big backers have seen their funding disappear in a blink, so it was certainly plausible. But the company is here and with a new AI-first approach. Before you roll your eyes at that term, take a read of my article, which includes a demo ride and an interview with CEO Laura Major. Then feel free to hit my inbox with your thoughts. 

New York governor Kathy Hochul plans to introduce legislation that would effectively legalize robotaxis in the state with the exception of New York City. No details on this yet; I’ve been told it will all be revealed in her executive budget proposal next week. What we do know is the proposal is designed to expand the state’s existing AV pilot program to allow for “the limited deployment of commercial for-hire autonomous passenger vehicles outside New York City.” My article delves deeper into what she shared and gives an update on Waymo’s NYC permit. 

Tesla is ditching the one-time fee option for its Full Self-driving (Supervised) software and will now sell access to the feature through a monthly subscription.

On-demand drone delivery company Wing is bringing its service to another 150 Walmart stores as part of an expanded partnership with the retailer.

Fluidstack, a startup that builds specialized data centers for AI companies, is in talks to raise a $1 billion round at an $18 billion valuation, potentially led by Jane Street, Bloomberg reports.

Should this deal come to fruition, it would more than double Fluidstack’s valuation in a matter of months.

In December, the company was reportedly raising around $700 million at a $7.5 billion valuation, sources told Bloomberg at the time, although it didn’t formally announce the close of that round. That round was said to be led by Situational Awareness, an AGI-focused fund founded by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, and backed by Stripe’s Collison brothers, former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, and the AI investor and entrepreneur Daniel Gross.

Talks were apparently still ongoing for this round in February, at least with Google, which was considering kicking in $100 million to the round, The Wall Street Journal reported.

There’s good reason for the hype over Fluidstack. In November, Anthropic announced that it had signed a $50 billion deal with the startup to build data centers custom-designed for its needs in Texas and New York. Unlike hyperscalers like AWS, which serve all kinds of computing needs, Fluidstack’s infrastructure is built specifically for AI.

The deal was a huge vote of confidence for Fluidstack, a company that was relatively unknown in the U.S. Anthropic primarily uses AWS and Google Cloud to serve Claude (though it also has a partnership with Microsoft to supply Claude to that software giant’s customers). But just like rival OpenAI, Anthropic is growing so fast that it needs more capacity, and this deal gives Anthropic more control over its own cloud infrastructure.

This partnership is so significant to the startup that Fluidstack — which was spun out of Oxford and had been a rising star in Europe’s AI scene — relocated its headquarters from the U.K. to New York. Last month, it also pulled out of a key €10 billion AI project in France, Bloomberg reported, to focus on U.S. opportunities.

In addition to Anthropic, it counts Meta, Poolside, Black Forest Labs, and others as customers. Prior to the deal with Anthropic, Fluidstack was probably best known for providing infrastructure to Mistral.

Fluidstack did not respond to a request for comment.

Gmail users deal with a constant flow of spam, promotions, and unnecessary updates every day. Even after trying to unsubscribe or block certain senders, unwanted messages often continue to appear. Some don’t even offer a proper way to opt out. Instead of dealing with each email individually, using the right settings and filters can make a big difference. Here are different ways to stop spam from taking over your Gmail inbox.

1. Use Gmail Filters to Manage Emails Automatically

How To Stop Spam from Cluttering Your Gmail Inbox? Most Gmail users deal with a constant flow of spam, promotions, and unnecessary updates every day. Even after trying to unsubscribe or block certain senders, unwanted messages often continue to appear. Some don’t even offer a proper way to opt out. Instead of dealing with each email individually, using the right settings and filters can make a big difference. Here are different ways to stop spam from taking over your Gmail inbox. 1. Use Gmail Filters to Manage Emails Automatically Filters are highly effective in addressing recurring spam problems in Gmail accounts. Rather than constantly deleting similar emails, filters can automatically treat specific messages based on the sender’s identity or specific keywords. Filters can be created directly from an email. Simply open the message, click the three-dot menu, and select “Filter messages like this.” After that, choose what action Gmail should take, such as deleting or organizing the email. 2. Block Entire Domains Instead of Single Senders Some individuals still use multiple versions of their addresses when sending email messages. The problem is that simple blocking is ineffective, since the same individual will continue to send new emails. To address this issue, it may be better to block all emails from a specific domain. Just like filters, one can do the following to block these emails. Type the domain in Google’s Gmail search tab, click on “filter,” and then proceed to choose actions such as deleting the email, marking it as spam, etc. 3. Use Email Aliases to Track Spam Sources Gmail allows the use of aliases by adding a “+” sign to an existing email address. These variations can be used while signing up on different websites, while still keeping everything in one inbox. This makes it easier to track where spam is coming from. If unwanted emails start appearing on a specific alias, the source can be identified and then filtered or blocked more effectively. 4. Avoid Opening Suspicious Emails Most suspicious emails include tracking components that activate when the recipient opens them. These are typically invisible pictures that indicate whether the recipient has viewed the message, hence increasing the likelihood of receiving more spam. To prevent this, one should refrain from opening any strange-looking emails, such as those from unknown sources or with funny subject lines. Such emails can either be disposed of immediately or filtered through other means. One can use Gmail’s settings to request permission to view external images. 5. Turn Off Automatic Image Loading Images inside marketing emails are often used to track activity. As soon as an email opens and the images load, it confirms to the sender that the email address is active. To stop this, automatic image loading can be disabled in Gmail. After enabling the setting to ask before showing images, tracking images will no longer load automatically. 6. Report Spam Instead of Just Deleting Removing spam by deleting emails is only a short-term fix. It clears space but doesn’t prevent new spam from arriving. Using the “Report Spam” option is more effective. It helps Gmail understand which emails are unwanted and improves its filtering system over time, reducing similar spam in the future. 7. Limit Use of Primary Email Address A primary email address can quickly become overloaded if it is used everywhere. Over time, it gets shared across many platforms, leading to more promotional and spam emails. To avoid such inconvenience, one should use their primary email address only for essential accounts and, in other cases, use a secondary email. Although spam cannot be entirely eliminated from a user’s life, it is possible to control its impact using certain tactics. Simple things like filtering, reporting spam, and reducing the number of emails you receive will significantly help you manage your inbox. #Stop #Spam #Cluttering #Gmail #InboxGmail

Instead of dealing with each email individually, using the right settings and filters can make a big difference. Here are different ways to stop spam from taking over your Gmail inbox. 1. Use Gmail Filters to Manage Emails Automatically Filters are highly effective in addressing recurring spam problems in Gmail accounts. Rather than constantly deleting similar emails, filters can automatically treat specific messages based on the sender’s identity or specific keywords. Filters can be created directly from an email. Simply open the message, click the three-dot menu, and select “Filter messages like this.” After that, choose what action Gmail should take, such as deleting or organizing the email. 2. Block Entire Domains Instead of Single Senders Some individuals still use multiple versions of their addresses when sending email messages. The problem is that simple blocking is ineffective, since the same individual will continue to send new emails. To address this issue, it may be better to block all emails from a specific domain. Just like filters, one can do the following to block these emails. Type the domain in Google’s Gmail search tab, click on “filter,” and then proceed to choose actions such as deleting the email, marking it as spam, etc. 3. Use Email Aliases to Track Spam Sources Gmail allows the use of aliases by adding a “+” sign to an existing email address. These variations can be used while signing up on different websites, while still keeping everything in one inbox. This makes it easier to track where spam is coming from. If unwanted emails start appearing on a specific alias, the source can be identified and then filtered or blocked more effectively. 4. Avoid Opening Suspicious Emails Most suspicious emails include tracking components that activate when the recipient opens them. These are typically invisible pictures that indicate whether the recipient has viewed the message, hence increasing the likelihood of receiving more spam. To prevent this, one should refrain from opening any strange-looking emails, such as those from unknown sources or with funny subject lines. Such emails can either be disposed of immediately or filtered through other means. One can use Gmail’s settings to request permission to view external images. 5. Turn Off Automatic Image Loading Images inside marketing emails are often used to track activity. As soon as an email opens and the images load, it confirms to the sender that the email address is active. To stop this, automatic image loading can be disabled in Gmail. After enabling the setting to ask before showing images, tracking images will no longer load automatically. 6. Report Spam Instead of Just Deleting Removing spam by deleting emails is only a short-term fix. It clears space but doesn’t prevent new spam from arriving. Using the “Report Spam” option is more effective. It helps Gmail understand which emails are unwanted and improves its filtering system over time, reducing similar spam in the future. 7. Limit Use of Primary Email Address A primary email address can quickly become overloaded if it is used everywhere. Over time, it gets shared across many platforms, leading to more promotional and spam emails. To avoid such inconvenience, one should use their primary email address only for essential accounts and, in other cases, use a secondary email. Although spam cannot be entirely eliminated from a user’s life, it is possible to control its impact using certain tactics. Simple things like filtering, reporting spam, and reducing the number of emails you receive will significantly help you manage your inbox. #Stop #Spam #Cluttering #Gmail #InboxGmail
