A federal pilot program is making it happen, and the piece is clear-eyed about what that means and what it doesn't.\nApple's $599 MacBook Neo gets put through a personal computing triathlon — browser tabs, 3D gaming, and agentic AI — to find where its modest RAM starts to crack. The verdict is more nuanced than the price tag suggests.\nFedEx is building an army of AI agents to work alongside its human workforce, and its tech chief is candid about the unglamorous groundwork required to do it without things going wrong. The piece is a useful reality check on what enterprise AI actually looks like in practice.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/3mkcubSNT2wAgaol_J3B1Qcu-KJq2wq9H_vJHf1ZAs0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84NmYx/YzM3ODA1NmY5Yjk5/OGE4NDNhOTNlNDhl/MGQ5ZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
