Robert X Cringely has returned to blogging after a three-year hiatus. During his absence, he focused on Artificial Intelligence work, co-founding 2Brains with two partners. The company's work continues with filed patents and documented architecture. Cringely explains that writing is essential to his thinking process, making his return significant for tech journalism.

His commentary tackles current tech debates, including Apple's Vision Pro headset which he believes Jobs would label a "hobby." Cringely analyzes how Moore's Law has evolved from a technical observation to an economic principle affecting chip pricing. He also critiques AI-generated content like recommendation letters, noting their superficiality despite apparent quality.

Drawing from his 45 years in Silicon Valley, Cringely provides historical context to recent tech layoffs and industry changes. His perspective counters current narratives lacking historical awareness. The blogger's return offers seasoned analysis amid today's tech confusion, giving readers insights beyond surface-level coverage of industry trends and corporate decisions.
