 Nonsense desperately tries to make sense of today’s business, technology, and (sometimes) entertainment headlines. Not too serious and occasionally funny, join technologist cj little and leggy blonde Jeff Parker for their unique take on the past week. While we can’t promise you’ll laugh every week, we can promise you’ll learn something new (and maybe even interesting). New episodes drop every Tuesday & Thursday mornings (UTC). Produced by an orangutan; art thanks to artificial intelligence. https://nonsense.productions Twitter: @nnsnspdcst Instagram: @nnsnspdcst Gmail: nnsnspdcst@gmail.comcj little and Jeff Parker Politica e governo

    Vaporware: Products That Will Change Your Life … Maybe!
    Jan 22 2026
    Vaporware is the tech industry’s ultimate ghost story: a product that is announced with world-changing fanfare, marketed with slick trailers, and often funded by millions, yet never actually exists.It lives in the purgatory between a founder’s ambition and a developer's nightmare. Sometimes vaporware is born from "feature creep"—the obsessive need to add one more bell or whistle until the project collapses under its own weight. Other times, it’s a calculated smokescreen designed to freeze the market, scaring customers away from competitors while a company scrambles to build what they’ve already promised.From $700 million "forever games" to revolutionary blood-testers, vaporware represents the dark side of "fake it 'til you make it." It is the graveyard of broken promises, where visionaries become villains and the only thing that truly ships is the hype.Trump Mobile & T1 (2025)Apple’s AirPower (2017)Rabbit R1 (2023)Bella Ramsey - iPhone 16 Pro Apple Intelligence (2024) 'Zac'Google Nexus Q (2012)Blizzard’s Titan (2007)Star Citizen (2012)Intellivision Amico (2018)Apple’s Copland OSNeXTSega Neptune (1995)Magic LeapGoogle’s Glass (2012)Sony Digital WalkmanApple’s Newton (1993-1998)Microsoft’s Zune (2006-2012)Duke Nukem ForeverGoogle’s Knol (2007)Google’s Plus (2011)BeOSOvation (1982)Phantom Console (2003)Theranos (2003)FTX (2019)Nikola Motors (2014)Fyre FestivalCharlie JaviceKilled by GoogleSend us a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠voice message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

    This week, Wikipedia finally tells Big AI to cough up some cash, turning decades of free human-curated knowledge into a paid buffet for models that won’t stop scraping.

    Meanwhile, the AI boom detonates the hardware market, where RAM, GPUs, and even hard drives now cost like luxury goods thanks to silicon hoarding and profit-maximizing chip math. Mid-range PC parts are becoming an endangered species, and gamers are learning what the “AI tax” really feels like.

    And from the Grift Garage, Trump Mobile’s gold-plated dream phone still hasn’t shipped a single unit, despite tens of millions in prepaid deposits. Does anyone care?

    Is AI a meteor headed for impact—or just a distant sun that hasn’t warmed things up yet?

    This week we cut through the doomsday noise to talk about what AI is actually doing to jobs and wealth: hollowing out junior roles, wiping out B-and-below performers, and rewarding AI-fluent “super users” and capital owners.

    We dig into why averages don’t matter as much as medians, why judgment and real creativity still look stubbornly human, and why the smart move is to become either a deep specialist or a wide “orchestrator” - but not stuck in the middle.

    We also cover open source as the new apprenticeship, failing fast as a competitive advantage, and the rise of the AI-powered solopreneur.
