Meanwhile, Amazon has blocked Meta&amp;rsquo;s #1-ranked Muse agent with an &amp;ldquo;unauthorized&amp;rdquo; pop-up, kicking off the fight over who controls AI commerce. ACH has overtaken checks as the most common US B2B payment method, rising from 25% to 41% of transactions since 2015. And the numbers are in on AI ROI: the median company spends just $12.50 per employee per month on AI, needing only 0.15% productivity gains to break even.</description></item><item><title>Cook exits, FTC sues Amazon ads, and Anthropic signs a $35B Nvidia-backed cloud deal</title><link>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-09-01-tech/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Sep 2026 10:39:42 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-09-01-tech/</guid><description>Tim Cook&amp;rsquo;s 15-year run as Apple CEO ends with John Ternus, Apple&amp;rsquo;s hardware SVP, taking over; Cook stays as executive chairman.

Chinese humanoid robots from X-Humanoid shattered Usain Bolt&amp;rsquo;s 100m world record (9.39s) and set a 2.88m standing high jump mark at the Beijing World Humanoid Robot Games, while Amazon quietly began commercial Zoox robotaxi rides in San Francisco and Las Vegas — vehicles with no steering wheel, no pedals, and passengers facing each other. On the infrastructure side, Nvidia is committing $6 billion to license Poolside&amp;rsquo;s technology and hire its engineers, and the Model Context Protocol roadmap landed with a stateless server migration, a new CIMD-based auth flow, and multi round-trip request support.</description></item></channel></rss>
