This week, AI chipmaker Cerebras Systems announced that it raised $1 billion in fresh capital at a valuation of $23 billion — a nearly threefold increase from the $8.1 billion valuation the Nvidia rival had reached just six months earlier. While the round was led by Tiger Global, a huge part of the new capital came from one of the company’s earliest backers: Benchmark Capital. The prominent Silicon Valley firm invested at least $225 million in Cerebras’ latest round, according to a person familiar with the deal. Benchmark first bet on 10-year-old Cerebras when it led the startup’s $27 million…

Apple CarPlay users may soon be able to talk to their favorite AI chatbot. Apple is reportedly working on how to support AI chatbot apps within CarPlay, according to Bloomberg, which cites anonymous sources.

Drivers are able to interact with these apps, including Apple Music, messaging, and navigation, through its voice assistant Siri. Apple’s next-generation CarPlay Ultra goes a step further, including the central touchscreen display…
More Than 880 employees and contractors working for Google signed a petition this week calling on the company to disclose and cancel any contracts it may have with US immigration authorities. In the letter unveiled on Friday, the workers said they are “vehemently opposed” to Google’s dealings with the Department of Homeland Security, which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).“We object to the technology we build being used to power state violence around the world,” a Google software engineer, who declined to give their name out of fear of retaliation, told reporters on Friday.“I…
Wix has broken its seven-year Super Bowl hiatus to welcome the next frontier of web design: a“first-of-its-kind” hybrid website editor that combines chatbot-based AI with traditional drag-and-drop tools. With just a 30-second window to showcase its new feature to booze-fueled Super Bowl fans, Wix was conscious not to get too technical. So, rather than explaining the technology, the software company has created a film that adopts a distinctly human perspective on AI. “The New Way to Create” centers on a woman who wants to build a website for her handmade furniture. Using split screen as a visual language, the spot demonstrates how…
The war on California’s proposed ‘Billionaire’s Tax’ is getting weird. This week, amid ongoing rancor from tech elites over the much maligned bill, it became apparent that someone was planning a so-called “March for Billionaires” in San Francisco. A website advertising the event popped up online, providing little in the way of context other than a pithy tagline: “Vilifying billionaires is popular. Losing them is expensive.” The immediate reaction was incredulity, and most people assumed the site was some sort of bizarre hoax. “this is a joke/satire right??” one social media user wrote not long after the news circulated. Now,…

HBO’s hit financial thriller “Industry” has delivered one of its most compelling storylines yet this season: a hunt to expose a fraudulent fintech company called Tender. The show follows Harper Stern, who’s leading her newly launched investment firm and looking for a company to short — essentially, betting that its stock will crash. After a journalist tips her off that something’s wrong with Tender, she sends her associates, Sweetpea and Kwabena, to Ghana to investigate. What they discover is damning. “Fake users drive fake revenue drives fake cash,” Sweetpea tells Harper. The entire company appears to be built on fabricated…
This mattress pad offers a bit of cushion with a quilted surface, but not nearly as much as the mattress topper. It’s meant to be more of a deluxe mattress protector than anything. But for athletes competing who may find their mattress agreeable but want some extra padding, they could easily forgo the topper and use the pad instead. Otherwise, you can throw it on top of the mattress topper, but that is a bit too much cushion for me and can stretch the elastic sides, depending on your mattress’s height.A Soft PillowHotel pillows always seem to be either too…

On Thursday, WordPress launched a new Claude connector, enabling site owners to share back-end data with Anthropic’s chatbot system. Users can control what specific data they want to share, and access can also be revoked if and when the user chooses. Notably, Claude is given read-only access, meaning it won’t be able to alter anything within a user’s CMS. However, last year WP claimed that it would eventually deliver “write” access to the MCP integration, presumably allowing users to conduct editorial tasks directly from a connected chatbot of their choosing. At any rate, after Claude is linked to an account,…
