OpenAI recently announced a $200 million deal with the U.S. Department of Defense, which has us wondering: Could this further strain the company's relationship with its biggest backer, Microsoft? After all, there have been numerous reports about growing tensions between the two companies, particularly as they become more competitive over enterprise deals. Today, on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Anthony Ha and Max Zeff discuss how the OpenAI/DoD deal reflects Silicon Valley's increasingly cozy relationship with the military and why industry leaders are calling for an AI “arms race.” Listen to the full episode to hear more highlights from the week, including: Whether it's a good thing that Vice President JD Vance joined Bluesky (and was briefly suspended) What it means that Wix acquired a six-month-old “vibe coding” startup for $80 million (and why Anthony hates the phrase “vibe coding”) A panel in which investor Ali Partovi and Cognition President Russell Kaplan discuss what technical talent means in the age of AI Equity will be back next week, so stay tuned!

AI investments hit $110 billion in 2024, and the funding landscape in 2025 is more competitive than ever. For early-stage startups, that means more money in the market but also more pressure to stand out. At TechCrunch Sessions: AI, Rebecca Bellan sat down with three experienced investors: Jill Chase, Partner at CapitalG; Kanu Gulati, Partner at Khosla Ventures; and Sara Ittelson, Partner at Accel. They broke down what they are really looking for when evaluating AI startups from seed through Series C. Their message to founders? Forget the perfect pitch. Focus on building trust, surviving the hype cycle, and being ready for copycats the moment you find product-market fit. Listen to the full episode of Equity to hear about: Why VCs say founders are over-indexing on pitch decks instead of relationships What it takes to go up against big incumbents without getting crushed Why consumer focus (and speed) still win, even in B2B AI How agents and automation are already reshaping the startup playbook Equity will be back Friday with our weekly news roundup, so stay tuned.

Generative AI is reshaping the way people work, from full-time employees to freelancers. As coding copilots, design assistants, and AI-powered writing tools become more capable and accessible, creative and technical roles are starting to shift – if not become eliminated entirely. The pressure to adapt is growing across the board.  Micha Kaufman, CEO of Fiverr, isn't sugarcoating it. In a recent open letter to staff, he warned that AI is coming for everyone's jobs, and the only way to stay relevant is to embrace AI tools and automation. Get better, get faster, or get left behind.  Kaufman joined Rebecca Bellan on TechCrunch's Equity podcast to help unpack what all of this means for the future of work – be it freelance or employed – and what you can do to survive.  Listen to the full episode to hear about: How Fiverr plans to stay relevant as a human-powered marketplace in an AI-driven world Why Kaufman believes AI will raise the bar for everyone, but top talent can still stand out and earn more What new grads and early-career professionals are up against in today's tough job market Equity will be back Friday with our weekly news roundup, so stay tuned.

Instead of our usual Friday news rundown, we're bringing you a conversation from this week's TC Sessions: AI event out in San Francisco. Our friend and co-host Max Zeff sat down with Jared Kaplan, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer at Anthropic. If you've been following Anthropic, you'll know it's been a busy year for the AI startup. Back in March, the company announced it raised $3.5 billion at a $61.5 billion valuation in a round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners. Since then, it's launched a blog for its Claude models and, according to Bloomberg reporting, partnered with Apple to power a new “vibe-coding” software platform. Listen to the full conversation to hear more about: ⁠Who has direct access to Claude's AI models⁠, Windsurf's response, and how it all ties into Anthropic's broader goals around openness, safety, and sustainability. The company's pivot away from chatbots and toward agentic AI systems that can perform real tasks. How internal tools like Claude Code are shaping the future of AI-powered development. What it means to build AI that enterprises can actually trust, and how that affects the way humans interact with software, work, and each other.

2025. június 04., szerda 8-9 óra HR PERCEK:  Béralku. Kell-e, lehet-e, mi a mértéke? Fontos tudni, nem alkudozás hanem  bértárgyalás, ahol mindkét oldalról van egy elképzelés ezt kell közelíteni. Lehet tárgyalni a bérről, de felkészülten és alátámasztva miért szeretnénk. Nem kell mindent rögtön elfogadni, ha úgy érezzük nem egyezik az elképzelésünkkel, de nem szabad megsértődni és hátat fordítani, érdemes időt kérni és átgondolni a pro és kontra érveket is.

Hogy harc nélkül, önként lemondunk saját és a gyermekeink jövőjéről.” 1976-ban ezen a napon született Alekszej Navalnij orosz politikus, ellenzéki vezető († 2024).

A felhasználóbarát felületek és korszerű ügyfélélmény mögött azonban ott vannak a múltban felépített és mára nélkülözhetetlenné vált, ugyanakkor sokszor elavult és folyamatosan növekvő költségeket okozó legacy szoftverrendszerek.

OpenAI just made its biggest acquisition yet, scooping up Jony Ive and Sam Altman's secretive device startup, io, in a $6.5 billion all-equity deal. Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and other iconic Apple products, will now lead creative and design work at OpenAI through his firm LoveFrom. The goal? To take AI “beyond the screen” and build a new generation of AI-powered consumer devices. Beyond the tech, there's a clear narrative play here. OpenAI is framing Altman as the Jobs-esque visionary and Ive as the design genius who makes it all real. Social media had a field day with the staged buddy shots of the duo, but the messaging is hard to miss: Take the iPhone launch, and make it AI. Today, on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Max Zeff, and Anthony Ha unpack the deal, dive into AI wearables, and discuss more of this week's tech headlines.

It's the latest in a spree of high-profile buys, joining MosaicML and Tabular, as Databricks positions itself as the place to build, deploy, and scale AI-native applications.  Today, on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Max Zeff, and Anthony Ha unpack the Databricks–Neon deal, where Neon's serverless Postgres tech fits into the larger vision, and whether $1 billion still counts as “a lot of money” these days (spoiler: Kirsten and Anthony are on the fence).

Noha a HetiVálasz 277. adása XIV. Leóról és a pápaválasztásról szól, röviden a média veszélyeztetettsége is szóba került. „Ha egy újságíró becsületesen végzi a munkáját, és mégis retorzió éri, akkor meg kell védeni” – értelmezi az új egyházfő minapi, a véleménynyilvánítás értékéről szóló szavait Gájer László. A katolikus papot, teológust azért hívtuk, hogy a konklávéról, az egyház állapotáról és Robert Prevost személyéről, programjáról, első megnyilvánulásairól kérdezzük. Milyen örökséget vesz át XIV. Leó? Miért ütközött korábban J. D. Vance alelnökkel? Mit ér a politikai kereszténység? Műsorvezető: Borbás Barna, Laky Zoltán. A HetiVálasz 277. adását „A közélet átláthatóságáról” című törvénytervezettel kapcsolatos rendkívüli közleménnyel kezdtük. Fontosnak tartjuk, hogy ne csak , hanem hallható és látható formában is világossá tegyük: a jogszabály ránk is célkeresztet rajzolhat. Noha műsorunk nem erről szól, a véleményszabadság veszélyeztetettségét érintettük.

Despite courtroom chaos, Rippling is still going full steam ahead. The HR tech startup at the center of an increasingly dramatic legal battle with rival Deel just raised a fresh $450 million in funding at a $16.8 billion valuation, and launched a new “Startup Stack” to woo early-stage companies—winning over Y Combinator as both an investor and a client. The funding lands amid the company's high-profile legal fight with Deel, which Rippling accuses of movie-worthy corporate espionage, complete with secret crypto payments and decoy Slack channels. Deel has denied the claims and fired back with its own lawsuit, calling Rippling's accusations a “distraction.” Today on Equity, Mary Ann Azevedo and Charles Rollet are digging into the HR tech showdown from legal drama to IPO implications and global intrigue. Listen to the full episode to hear more about: The alleged spy, Rippling's evidence, and Deel's denials YC's involvement in Rippling's latest project, and why the move is raising eyebrows The potential impact on IPOs for both companies  Equity is TechCrunch's flagship podcast, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, and posts every Wednesday and Friday.  Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.

Legalább olyan turbulens a nemzetközi politika, mint a Donald Trump beiktatása utáni hetekben, így ideje volt átbeszélni az elmúlt időszak legfontosabb eseményeit. Többek közt ukrán-magyar kémháborúról, a győzelem napi katonai parádéról, valamint a háborúval kapcsolatos amerikai hangnemváltásról is beszélgettünk Takácsy Dorka Oroszország-szakértővel, és Takács Márk katonai elemzővel.A nyilvánosság elé május 9-én kerülő ukrán-magyar kémháborúról, és ennek kapcsán a sajtóban felmerülő esetleges kárpátaljai bevonulás rémképéről: „Nagyon remélem, hogy Magyarországon senkinek nem fordult meg a fejében, hogy egy agyba-főbe tönkrevert ukrán hadsereg ellen (ami amúgy nincs) bármi keresnivalónk lenne."A győzelem napjáról, és a moszkvai dísztribün ülésrendjének fontosságáról: „Ugyanazok az ellenségképek (mint a második világháborúban), akik ellen harcba szólít a nemzet, akkor mi is ugyanúgy viselkedünk.” Az ukránoknak nyújtott amerikai segélyről és segélynek már nem minősülő támogatásokról: „Azt szokták mondani, hogy ha híján vagy mindennek, kivéve az ellenségnek, az a háború.” Az oroszokkal egy ideig meglehetősen megengedő amerikai álláspont változásáról: „Úgy tűnik, hogy lassanként elérkezik Trumpékhoz az a valóság, hogy lehet, hogy Oroszországgal mégiscsak úgy kell bánni, mint egy agresszorral, és lehet, hogy majd az erőből fog érteni.”És arról, hogy a Twitter-üzengetések árnyékában mi történik a fronton: „Az orosz szabályzatok szerint egy hadosztály két hét alatt nem egy falut foglal el, hanem egy megyét, de ez nem sikerül nekik valamiért.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Alright, so this is going to descend into hell very quickly," remarks Christi as the inevitable confrontation between the moms and the Select team comes to fruition on the second half of "Double the Moms, Double the Trouble". The teams arrive at Sheer Talent and Abby's differing treatment of the two teams becomes more visually apparent as the girls receive their costumes. The Select team is blessed with intricate outfits while, as Holly puts it, the Elite team got stuck with $10 pajamas. But Abby continues to downplay and excuse the circumstances, though is more than happy to celebrate the Elite team playing second fiddle to her new dancers as the Select team takes first.The moms are content to say congratulations and walk away, but Production is not content to let our moms off the hook (not so long as there is drama to be had). The new moms attempts to stir the pot even manage to set Holly off, which the edit manages to frame as Holly getting mad at Maddie somehow! It's a rough episode as always, but we have a lot more behind the scenes facts that should shed some light on how rough it really was.Quotes“I still can't get over that I got arrested for what I did and they didn't" (07:18-7:24 | Kelly)“Why did people get mad at you for that? Who f*****g knows Kell, I get in trouble for everything.” (09:54-09:57 | Christi & Kelly)“I'm sitting there thinking Abby would rather have her on the team than me? Was I that bad!?" (24:46-26:53 | Kelly)“" (1:08:53-1:08:59 | Christi)LinksSubscribe to us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC50aSBAYXH_9yU2YkKyXZ0w Subscribe to our Patreon: www.patreon.com/backtothebarreThank you to Ashley Jana for allowing us to use Electricity!!

At Stripe's Sessions conference this week, Mark Zuckerberg pitched what he calls the “ultimate business machine”: a fully automated, end-to-end AI ad engine promising to replace agencies, creatives, and media buyers. You just need to connect your bank account first.  Zuckerberg claims this could be one of the most valuable AI systems ever built, generating thousands of image ads and testing them in real time, but it raises a bigger question: is this the future of advertising, or just another wave of AI slop flooding your feed? Today, on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Max Zeff and Anthony Ha are unpacking why Zuckerberg's vision could be a marketer's dream or creative agency's worst nightmare, and what else caught our eye in tech this week. Listen to the full episode to hear about: How Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro managed to beat Pokémon Blue. Max was unimpressed, but the Equity crew thinks gamifying AI benchmarks might be the way to go. The countertop robot that handles some parts of cooking for you, with emphasis on some Uber's continued push into autonomous vehicles and what Waymo's doing in the mix A new venture from Brian Armstrong that just raised $130 million to develop cutting-edge age-reversing treatments, and who else is using AI to help us live forever Equity will be back next week, so stay tuned!

They discuss Eric's journey from CIA to investor and how he recognized the untapped potential in European defense tech while others were dismissive, and how he's working to overcome the cultural taboo that once made defense investments "bad manners" in European VC circles.

What if cheating was just…the future of work? That's the pitch behind Cluely, the viral AI startup that claims its stealthy browser overlay is “undetectable” and can help users bluff their way through everything from job interviews to exams. The company has raised $5.3 million and sparked a wave of backlash from startups building tools to catch cheaters. Cluely's response? They'll just build smart glasses or brain chips.  Today, on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Max Zeff and Anthony Ha are getting into the week's headlines, including whether Cluely's viral strategy is genius, gross, or both, and what it says about the future of work in the AI age.

Retail investors are increasingly shaping the secondary market. In Q4 2024, platforms like EquityZen reported that 86% of total transaction volume came from retail participants—an eye-catching shift as tools like Forge and EquityZen promise broader access to private shares. But does more access mean more opportunity, or more risk? Today on Equity, Rebecca Bellan is joined by Jared Carmel of Manhattan Venture Partners to dig into what he calls a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” in secondaries, and why he sees this market as a “pressure relief valve” that could keep startups private well past their startup years. Listen to the full episode to hear more about: Why a sluggish IPO market is pushing more action into secondaries How this creates a flywheel for venture capital And why Jared thinks robust secondary markets will delay (or eliminate) the need for IPOs altogether Equity is TechCrunch's flagship podcast, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, and posts every Wednesday and Friday.  Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.

A Friderikusz Podcast részeként február elején belekezdtünk egy új sorozatba, melynek címe: LAKATOS LABOR. A sorozat epizódjaiban állandó szakértőnkkel, dr. Lakatos Péter belgyógyász-professzorral minden alkalommal egészségről, konkrét betegségekről, azok tüneteiről és esetleges megelőzésükről beszélget Friderikusz Sándor. Ebben a mostani, hetedik epizódban az alvás fontosságára hívjuk fel a figyelmet. Újsághírek szerint ugyanis a nemzetközi átlagnál is rosszabbul alszanak honfitársaink: a magyarok 63 százalékának vannak alvásproblémái, és az alvászavarral szakemberhez fordulók között már megjelentek a 10 év körüli gyerekek is. Riasztó a statisztika is: 100 év alatt egy órával csökkent az alvás mennyisége, és ha még többet akarunk a nappalból kizsigerelni - mondják a szakemberek -, akkor 50 év múlva újabb egy órával kevesebb időt fogunk alvásra fordítani. Ténylegesen hány óra alvásra van szüksége a szervezetnek? Mi minden következménye lehet az alvás hiányának? Miből lehet tudni, hogy valakinek alváshiánya van? Milyen tényezők segítheti a jó alvást? Hányféle alvási probléma létezik, és hogyan lehet ezekre megoldást találni? Ilyen és ehhez hasonló kérdésekre ad választ a témához meghívott speciális vendég, dr.Purebl György pszichológus, alváskutató, de természetesen jelen lesz a beszélgetésben sorozatunk házigazdája, dr.Lakatos Péter belgyógyász-professzor is.

Trump's tariffs have upended global trade and created an environment of uncertainty. But this situation wasn't created in a vacuum. The rules of business have been shifting for years as technology moves quicker than regulation, geopolitics descend into turmoil, and the law erodes and becomes weaponized.  Businesses might be asking themselves, how are they meant to keep their heads above water? And what can they do to fight back?   Hence AI co-founder Sean West has some answers. With a team spread across the U.K., Rwanda, the U.S., and the Netherlands, the London-based startup has raised $5.2 million to date with a mission to democratize access to high-level business intelligence—something traditionally reserved for the biggest companies with the biggest budgets. Today on Equity, Rebecca Bellan sat down with West, who recently published the book Unruly: Fighting Back When Politics, AI, and Law Upend the Rules of Business, to dig into how companies should respond to rising geopolitical risk, the macro cost of keeping your head down, and why AI-powered tools like Hence Global, built on Palantir's Foundry platform, are quietly redefining what it means to be “advised.”  Listen to the full episode to hear more about: What businesses are getting wrong about tariffs and political risk. How companies can go on the offensive to thrive in the chaos.  Why patriotism can shield companies, but comes with a cost. Why law firms and consultants are some of Hence's earliest adopters. The broader implications of “democratizing access” to geopolitical risk intel.

Today, on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Max Zeff and Anthony Ha are unpacking the week's news, including the possible return of the SPAC in an uncertain IPO market. It's a curious moment for a public debut, as Kirsten points out, especially after so much chatter that 2025 would be the big comeback year for blockbuster IPOs, but some major players like Klarna and StubHub have already hit pause. And as investor Mark Goldberg put it on this week's show, folks holding their breath for a fintech IPO wave this year “are going to be blue in the face.” Listen to the full episode to hear about: How Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos's AI voices could be taking over a crosswalk near you Figma's IPO plans, and questions on the Equity crew's mind ahead of the S-1.

After nearly a decade at Index Ventures, where he backed standout fintech companies like Plaid, Persona, Lithic, and Pilot, Mark Goldberg left to launch Chemistry, an early-stage venture firm. Founded alongside Kristina Shen and Ethan Kurzweil, the $350 million fund is part of a growing trend in venture capital: seasoned investors breaking out from large platforms to build more focused, boutique outfits. Today on Equity, Mary Ann Azevedo caught up with Goldberg about what led him to make the move, what Chemistry is all about, and how the venture landscape has evolved over the past few years. Listen to the full episode to hear more about: The state of fintech, a sector Goldberg has long had his eye on—and why he sees “a lot more tech-fin than fintech” these days Why those waiting for a wave of fintech IPOs might be in for a long hold What he's watching for in 2025 and beyond, from the impact of AI on fraud to shifting deal activity, including a pickup in M&A and secondaries Equity will be back with our weekly news roundup on Friday, so don't miss it!

Meta dropped three new models over the weekend: Scout, Maverick, and the still-training Behemoth, billed as the next evolution of “open-ish” AI. But instead of excitement, the response was mostly shrugs. Critics called the release underwhelming, saying it lacked the edge expected in today's breakneck AI race. Meta's clear attempt to claw back some attention quickly turned messy. Accusations began circulating on X and Reddit around benchmark tampering, a mystery ex-employee, and large gaps between the models' public and private performance. Today, on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Max Zeff and Anthony Ha are unpacking Meta's rocky rollout, the AI industry's obsession with looking smart on paper, and why, as Kirsten put it, “creating something to do well on a test doesn't always translate to good business.” Listen to the full episode to for: A breakdown of Trump's latest tariff push, what you missed and how companies are bracing for impact The secretive EV startup backed by Jeff Bezos, and whether it was Bezos's Plan B Colossal Biosciences' Dire Wolf discovery, and whether or not the breakthrough justifies the startup's $10B+ valuation Equity will be back next week, so stay tuned!

Rippling's latest lawsuit reads less like a legal filing and more like the plot of a corporate espionage thriller, complete with secret crypto payments, an alleged mole, and a fake Slack channel trap. This week, the HR tech startup publicly named the employee at the center of its case against its rival Deel, claiming the company paid him thousands to spy from the inside. Deel, however, is not staying quiet. The company is denying the claims, calling it a dramatic distraction from Rippling's own legal troubles. Today, on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Max Zeff and Anthony Ha are catching us up on the week's headlines, including a breakdown of how this saga between two HR tech giants escalated from business rivalry to accusations of racketeering, and why, according to Max, smashing the phone you use for corporate espionage with an ax at your mother-in-law's house is “the oldest trick in the book.” Listen to the full episode to hear about: The startup that's gamifying the tax filing process, and the copyright questions that continue to rise Circle's IPO and what the move could signal for others in the crypto space. The latest in the AI race — from OpenAI's record-breaking raise and GPU meltdowns to Anthropic's  AI chatbot plan for colleges and Google's Gemini leadership shakeup.
