Bold and responsible.
Rick reminds us, again, that Google doesn’t want to end the world with AI. Also, we’ve already heard AI about 20 times and counting.

The show’s starting soon.
We’re in “Horizon Hall” at Pier 57 in Chelsea, and we’re about 10 minutes away from showtime. No secret what we’re about to see. Follow along with all our Google Pixel 8 live coverage!

When they get the blender out, it’s all over.
Have you seen how much work goes into a Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew? I have. They have to get a blender dirty every! Single! Time! It would have been the bane of my existence as a barista.
Starbucks is apparently implementing a new high-tech system to simplify the drink-making process. If this means making a PSL is a little less tedious, then I’m all for it.

Calling all Shortcuts sickos.
The iPhone 15 Pro is shipping today and I want to know what y’all are doing with the Action Button. Mine runs a shortcut that orders my favorite fall coffee beverage — but what will you do with your one, wild, and precious Action Button? Set it to dispense treats from your automatic pet feeder? Program it to unleash the robot vacuums?
Reply in the comments on this quickpost or hit me up on Threads, and I’ll round up Verge readers’ best, most unhinged Action Button shortcuts next week.
