Huge thanks to @sdianahu for coming out and talking to members at the E@B x @ycombinator dinner yesterday! Great stories, insights, and an amazing room of builders.
the syrup ceo really said layoffs are a choice with her whole chest while half of linkedin is posting 'tough decisions' memos, ngl a private company that never answered to quarterly earnings gets to be the main character here
“It’s very easy for us to say layoffs are not our approach. I think layoffs are a choice,” Melanie Dulbecco, CEO of flavored syrup giant Torani, told Business Insider.

banks spent 20 years making u do 2fa on a toaster and then an ai agent walks in with ur password like it's ocean's eleven, $22.8B gone in a day bc wall street just realized the customer might not be a human anymore
‼️ JPMorgan and four other US banks lost $22.8B in market value overnight after an Axios scoop on AI agents in customer accounts, Protos says.
Axios says agents used customers' logins and some seemed to act alone.
Morgan Stanley says it saw no rogue agents, yet fell 1.6%.
the guy who brought back the dire wolf and the guy building drones for the pentagon teaming up sounds like a phase 5 announcement, and a $200M seed is just a series b that didn't want the paperwork
Anduril founder Palmer Luckey and Colossal Biosciences cofounder and CEO Ben Lamm have teamed up to launch Warhound, a defense tech startup coming out of stealth with a $200 million seed round, Fortune exclusively reported.

civil engineers watching ai turn a laser scan into drawings 10x faster like it's the training montage they never got, ngl the least sexy industries are lowkey where the real money's hiding rn
Mach9, an AI CAD platform for civil engineering, raised a $34M Series A. It turns LiDAR scans into engineering drawings up to 10x faster at one-fifth the cost.

our president @shivambuilds just wrote an essay on the weird paradox of running berkeley's biggest entrepreneurship club. he came from kansas with zero startup exposure and e@b changed how he thinks, but he argues the same rooms that make u ambitious can also make everyone build the same stuff so the real question is what a community optimizes for. here's 4 things he gets into 🧵
4. the job isn't telling ppl what to build, it's getting them to try more interesting things. u should be able to pitch an idea everyone thinks is stupid, get grilled for an hour and walk out either convinced or even more sure

ai found a bug that puts 70% of the internet at risk, the same week half the cloud got popped. lowkey attackers and defenders are running the same models rn and it just comes down to who reads the output first. we're in the endgame now and most of ur group chat still doesn't have 2fa
Exclusive: AI just found one of the most severe online bugs ever. It puts up to 70% of the world’s websites at risk. on.wsj.com/4BhITiW
bioware shutting down is the saddest ending they never let us pick. the studio behind mass effect and kotor got treated like a line item bc live service money looked better on a slide. ea really chose the renegade option fr, and now every dialogue wheel just says layoffs
hermès opening next to the cheesecake factory was not on my 2026 bingo card. the whole brand runs on scarcity and a flagship ppl treat like a museum, but the birkin crowd moved to the suburbs and the money went with them. the waitlist is about to have a cul de sac fr, scarcity hits different when ur store shares parking with a target
Americans once made pilgrimages to cities like Manhattan, Beverly Hills or Paris to shop at Hermès. Now, the brand is chasing customers by meeting them where they are: the suburbs. on.wsj.com/4ictVCk

We’ve spent the past year developing new primitives for GPUs. We believe this enables new algorithms to change how machines learn, open new markets, and dramatically reshape AI’s cost structure.
We have raised a $1 billion Series A, co-led by Index and Lux.
openai closing the round before anthropic ipos is like turning in the midterm before the curve drops. lowkey the smartest move here is timing. raise while ur still the only number on the board, bc the second there's a public comp every vc gets a calculator and the vibes valuation is cooked
EXCLUSIVE: OpenAI seeks to accelerate fundraising ahead of Anthropic IPO, sources say reut.rs/4i2TrtC reut.rs/4i2TrtC
the market's ai hedge is literally toothpaste lmao. ppl will always brush their teeth but nobody knows who survives the gpu bill, so colgate execs are getting valued like sam altman and they did nothing different this year except exist. idk who needed to hear it but crest is the new defensive tech stock
Investors’ search for safety has made toothpaste stocks more expensive than tech trib.al/yAzeFQ3
everyone's fighting over chatbots and openai's out here buying biotech plumbing fr. skipping the cure cancer tweet and buying the software that runs clinical trials is the most big pharma move ever. the model was never the bottleneck, it was 50 vendors on a reply all chain. tony stark didn't win bc of the suit, he won bc he owned the factory
We’ve acquired Orchestra Bio, a platform that helps biopharma teams coordinate the complex process of drug development.
Together, we’ll build on Rosalind, our AI models and tools for life sciences research, to streamline those operations and help new treatments reach patients sooner.
Welcome @ashokaraj_ and team!

engineers getting a token budget like it's squid game ration night
Cognition is taking aim at “tokenmaxxing” with a system that grades engineers on their AI efficiency and adjusts their spending limits based on performance.
