Venmo’s dubious defaults look like a permanent privacy foul

If it weren’t for Signal, Venmo might be the most infamous app of the Trump administration—and maybe the most beloved among journalists covering this White House.

That’s not because of any Trump staffer’s clumsiness, like the one that led national sec

This tiny screw is powering the humanoid robot revolution

The humanoid robotics revolution is just around the corner. Test models are already working in factories alongside human beings across the world, while AI companies develop new foundation models designed to help robots navigate their environments as easily as humans do.

But computer “brains” are useless without the skeletons that give humanoid robots their form—and the ma

IPOs are being pulled and the market is yo-yoing. What’s next?

Calling this a chaotic week on Wall Street might be underselling the situation. We’ve seen drops of more than 2,000 points in the Dow and then gains of even more. In the past five days, the Dow has swung almost 3,300 points.

That volatility has pushed more than a dozen companies to shelve their IPO plans, including some of the year’s most-highly anticipated debuts.

Why I read 597 applications for one job—no AI involved

Last month I posted a job description on our blog for a chief of staff role at my venture capital firm, Graham & Walker. Turns out, that job description really hit a nerve. Within an hour, more than a hundred candidates had put their hat in the ring and filled out the long Google form that served as our only form of application.

Quickly overwhelmed by the interest, I asked everyone I knew for tips on how to review all those applications most efficiently. They recommended several to

Silicon Valley needs to get back to silicon

With their drab gray suits and their Buddy Holly glasses, the so-called traitorous eight don’t look like revolutionaries. Given no context, you can imagine them occupying some kind of middle-management role at a small regional bank. And yet these are the people you can thank for the digital world.

The eight—which included Intel cofounder Gordon Moore—had departed Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory to found Fairchild

How do you fact-check an AI?

Ryan chats with Amr Awadallah, founder and CEO of GenAI platform Vectara.

An answer to AI’s energy addiction? More AI, says the IEA

Záhadná čelist z moře u Tchaj-wanu se proměnila v nejlepší fosilii denisovana

V roce 2015 vylovili rybářskou sítí z mořského dna poblíž Peskadorských ostrovů čelist z lidské linie, ze které se nepodařilo vytáhnout DNA. Paleoprotemika ukázala na muže denisovana, který žil asi před 10 až 190 tisíci let. Je to důvod k oslavě, protože jde o nejlepší fosilii denisovana, jakou máme k dispozici. http://www.osel.cz/13990-zahadna-celist-z-more-u-tchaj-wanu-se-promenila-v-nejlepsi-fosilii-denisovana.html

What the ‘Bhagavad Gita’ can teach us about AI

One recent rainy afternoon, I found myself in an unexpected role—philosophy teacher to a machine. I was explaining the story of the Bhagavad Gita to a leading large language model, curious to see if it could grasp the lessons at the heart of one of the world’s most profound philosophical texts. The LLM’s responses were impressively structured and fluent. They even sounded reflective at times, giving a sense that the

How video games became peak IP

The Minecraft movie is crass, dumb, and barely coherent. It also just made almost $163 million at the domestic box office over its opening weekend. 

Video game adaptations have been on a hot streak in recent years. In 2023, The Super Mario Bros. Movie crossed the billion-dollar mark, nearly unseating Barbie as the year’s top-grossing film. Amazon’s Fallout shattered records with 2.5 billion viewing minutes in its debut week. And now, A Minecr

‘Somebody has to pay the cost’: Business owners break down tariff drama on social media

Founders and CEOs typically use social media to etch a human face onto their brand, forge a personal connection with potential customers, and put some pizzazz into product launches.

With the thundercloud of steep global tariffs looming overhead, though, many business owners have lately turned to TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit to explain the economic havoc those tariffs are poised to wreak on their brands—and in some cases, to search for a path forward.

Why Amazon is doubling down on movie theaters

Amazon is betting big on movie theaters—even if it isn’t counting on mega profits.

The Silicon Valley giant told The New York Times last week that it is planning to release about 14 movies annually in theaters across the United States, an untraditional move for a company that has for years focused on streaming. Instead of simply dropping films directly onto Prime Video, its

Meet the Space Resistance Companies

If you’re at all unsettled by the amount of power that Elon Musk wields on Earth, don’t look up. There are now essentially three big players controlling what goes into space and who gets access to increasingly valuable space-based communications and surveillance services: Russia, China, and Elon Musk.

In my case, that means creating new browser bookmarklets. These are
