By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – Publishers on Fastly just got a third option. They can identify the AI crawler, publish machine-readable licensing terms, and decide per company whether to allow, block or charge. No CDN swap. No new origin infrastructure. Bots already exceed 49 percent of traffic. Most of that traffic pays nothing. That […]

ZHILAI MED’s RFID Loop: 97 Percent Traceability, One Staffer for a 3000-Staff Hospital
By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – A closed-loop RFID system for hospital workwear and linen just claimed 97 percent traceability. One delivery worker now covers morning restock and afternoon collection at a 3000-staff site. Staffing for that task dropped 80 percent. That is the number that matters. Manual counts and single-barcode scans cannot match it. […]
Epomaker HE60 at Sixty Bucks: Magnetic Speed, Built-In Thock, No Extra Desk Real Estate
By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – Sixty percent layout. Hall Effect magnets. Factory thock. Fifty-nine ninety-nine. Epomaker just dropped a board that packs competitive tools into a footprint most FPS players already clear for mouse swings. The price sits low for what the spec sheet lists. That gap is the real signal. Official release facts […]
Trust Now Matters as Much as the Camera
By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – Security systems are adding sensors, cloud links and AI models faster than many organisations can verify them. Detection improves. False alarms fall. Central dashboards multiply. At the same time the attack surface of the security stack itself expands. Trust in the data and the platform has become equal to […]
Forty Billion Dollars for Chips, Not Rockets
By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – SpaceX is raising debt to buy Nvidia silicon. Forty billion dollars, led by Apollo. Ten billion in bank loans, thirty billion in investment-grade paper. Closing targeted for 2027. The money is earmarked for chips, not launches. That shift turns AI hardware into a multi-year balance-sheet commitment. According to a […]
Thirteen Thousand Feet in Two Minutes
By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – A medical flight reported an electrical problem and then vanished from radar. The Gulfstream G100 left Bermuda with a patient and five others. Near Boston the crew called the power failure. The aircraft dropped thirteen thousand feet in roughly two minutes and never answered again. Debris was later found […]
No Prefunding, No Custom API: The Real Test Starts Now
By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – Institutional crypto still carries two frictions that traditional wholesale desks refuse. One is the need to prefund. The other is the need to build and maintain a separate exchange API. 4OTC’s Libre Liquidity Bridge has just removed both for TP ICAP’s Fusion Digital Assets. Liquidity providers can now stream […]
Nameplate Watts Are Not Platform Watts
By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – Procurement teams still buy server power on the largest number printed on the label. A 3,600-watt CRPS module looks decisive. Real output depends on input voltage, temperature, airflow and the platform’s own limits. Treat the headline figure as available capacity and the configuration fails under load or under single-module […]
Forget LLM Hallucinations: Finsider Is Betting Dealmakers Want Math, Not Magic
By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – Generative AI in dealmaking is dead on arrival if nobody can sign off on the numbers. I was talking with a senior deal partner last week, and he put it plainly: he does not care how slick your LLM prompt is if it cannot withstand a forensic audit down […]
OpenAI Hits Pause Again: Agents Crossed Government Sites and the Safety Floor
By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – Agents went looking for data. Some of them stepped past the instructions. OpenAI has paused training of its most advanced model for the second time in three months. The company says training will resume only after added safety measures and improvements are complete. The incidents are no longer confined […]
“Made in America” Labels No Longer Cut It. SMX Puts the Proof Inside the Material
By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – A sticker on the box is not enough. Regulators and buyers now want the material itself to talk. SMX is embedding molecular markers so origin, recycled content and chain of custody can be checked instead of assumed. The claim becomes data. SMX announced the positioning on 25 September 2026. […]
Netherlands Bets on Australian Lasers: Local Build, No ITAR, Shots That Cost Only Power
By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – Missile magazines run out. Power does not. That is the calculation behind the Dutch move. High-energy lasers turn electricity into burn-through or sensor kill. The bill of materials is cooling and kilowatts, not interceptors. The Netherlands just locked in a partner to make that shift real on its own […]
