Ladies and gentlemen, in the red corner weighing in at several trillion dollars, the entire tech industry. And in the blue corner weighing in at 980 words, the tech news. Let's get rid of the fumbles through some headlines.

Valve says the Steam Machine and Steam Frame are now shipping sometime this summer, which means Valve hardware has advanced from early 2026 to, uh-oh, RAM prices to get your sunscreen on, folks! The new launch window showed up in a Steamworks blog post about expanding the Steam Verified program beyond the Steam Deck, because apparently Valve announces hardware updates like it's hiding a side quest. There's some detail in there. What could it be?

Anthropic says it plans to convene policymakers and rival AI labs in the coming months to develop an approach to safety modeled on nuclear arms treaties. Critics, however, are skeptical, given that Anthropic just filed for an IPO.

You've got to do this the safest way possible. Get those shareholders in here. And then there's the fact that CEO Dario Amadei has a history of being a bit of a hype beast about his own products. Like in April, when he refused to release Claude Mythos publicly because it was...
