There is a particular kind of irony that the legal profession rarely gets to witness in such pristine form. In May 2025, Latham & Watkins a firm that routinely bills over $2,000 an hour for its partners and counts Anthropic among its clients filed a court declaration in Concord Music Group v. Anthropic that contained…
QuTwo, the Finnish AI lab founded by former AMD Silo AI CEO Peter Sarlin, is now valued at €325 million (approximately $380 million) after raising a €25 million angel round ($29 million). It’s a sign of enduring tailwinds for AI, quantum computing, and sovereign tech, especially for Europe-made companies. QuTwo’s name is a nod to…

Nuro has been granted a permit to begin driverless testing of Lucid Gravity SUVs equipped with its autonomous tech on California public roads — vehicles that will eventually be used in Uber’s premium robotaxi service. But the Silicon Valley-based startup, backed by Nvidia and Uber, says it isn’t quite ready to begin. The California Department…
Most security teams have more data than they know what to do with. Alerts, dashboards, telemetry feeds—all of it pointing at things that need attention. The problem isn’t that they can’t see the risks. It’s that seeing them and actually fixing them are two completely different things. Known vulnerabilities sit unresolved for months. Orphaned accounts…
In August 2017, Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever gathered at Elon Musk’s self-described “haunted mansion,” a 47-acre, $23 million estate in Hillsborough, south of San Francisco, to discuss the future of OpenAI. Actor Amber Heard, Musk’s then-girlfriend, had served the group whiskey and then dashed off with a friend, Brockman, OpenAI’s cofounder and president, testified…
Voice AI has a dirty secret: most of it was never designed for conversation. The dominant paradigm — feed text in, get audio out — traces its lineage to audiobook narration and voiceover production, where the model never hears the person on the other end. That’s fine when you’re generating a podcast intro. It’s not…
Ninety-nine percent is not a statistic you expect to see in a security report. But that’s the finding from a new survey of 500 U.S. CISOs: 99.4% of organizations experienced at least one security incident tied to their SaaS or AI ecosystem in 2025. Only three respondents reported zero incidents. Three. The survey, conducted by…
As Bumble gets ready for a big overhaul meant to win back Gen Z users (who are pretty over dating apps right now), its latest earnings still reports that paying users are declining. In the first quarter of 2026, total paying users fell 21.1% to 3.2 million, down from 4 million a year ago. This…
Lucid Motors said Tuesday that it’s no longer sure how many EVs it will build or sell this year, as it navigates a transition to a new CEO and a company-wide cost-cutting push. The company said in February that it planned to build between 25,000 and 27,000 vehicles this year. That’s far from the hundreds…
