Funny how it works — the same week the Silicon Forest lands federal funding worth up to $160 million, the stuff that actually holds a community together is getting quietly built at street level. A machinist in Gresham shipping an AI tool for the shop floor, Latino Founders taking out a 15,000-square-foot building downtown for the entrepreneurs who chose to stay, a Pendleton drone accelerator opening a pipeline clear across the Pacific to Korea. The headline number is great — but honestly, it's the ground game that's got me fired up this week.LINKSOregon FAST wins NSF Innovation Engine award — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/16/its-a-semiconductor-fast-oregon-consortium-wins-nsf-innovation-engine-award/Oregon State University (announcement) — https://news.oregonstate.edu/news/oregon-team-nearly-100-partners-awarded-nsf-regional-innovation-engine-award-set-receive-160By a machinist for machinists: Swarf — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/15/by-a-machinist-for-machinists-ai-enabled-cnc/Swarf — https://swarf.app/landing/Latino Founders preps a new home: Founders Hub — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/16/latino-founders-preps-a-new-home-founders-hub-center-for-innovation-and-entrepreneurship/Latino Founders — https://www.latinofounder.com/Oregon UAS Accelerator partners with Korea Investment Accelerator — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/16/oregon-uas-accelerator-partners-with-korea-investment-accelerator/Oregon UAS Accelerator (apply by Jul 19) — https://hub.oregonuas.org/applyBend Venture Conference 2026 opens applications — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/14/bend-venture-conference-2026-opens-applications-for-startups/Bend Venture Conference — https://www.bendvc.com/Chain React 2026: Putting yourself out there — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/15/chain-react-2026-putting-yourself-out-there/

This week in Oregon startup news, Agility Robotics is headed toward a SPAC IPO w — could be one of the biggest Oregon IPOs this year.

This week in Portland startup news, we start with the top 10 Silicon Florist posts from H1 2026 — the list readers built by clicking, not me — and the story it tells is worth pausing over: QSBS grabbed the top two slots, Dwayne Johnson's community read landed at number three, and Panthalassa's quiet $140 million Series B slotted in at four. From there, a midyear refresh of the "how to Portland startup community" primer — the front door for anyone who's been circling the edges and hasn't quite found their way in yet.

This week's update details a rapidly shifting technological landscape where AI-driven advancements are fundamentally altering global security and corporate ethics. Several reports highlight how adversarial capabilities from rival nations now match elite Western models, prompting urgent international warnings from intelligence agencies about a coming surge in cyber warfare. Domestically, the reports track significant legal and privacy challenges, ranging from Meta's controversial testing methods involving minors to landmark Supreme Court rulings on digital surveillance. Furthermore, our updates emphasize a growing systemic risk within the software industry, as AI-generated code introduces hidden vulnerabilities and leaks sensitive credentials. This collection collectively underscores a critical pivot point where defensive infrastructure must evolve rapidly to keep pace with automated threats. High-stakes stories of supply chain dependencies and data breaches illustrate the difficulty of maintaining security in a globally interconnected environment. Ultimately, the stories serve up a warning that institutional understanding is currently trailing behind the speed of AI integration. Oh yeah!

Episode 298. In this week's update: Meta contractors spent months posing as suicidal, drug-curious teenagers to test rival chatbots - and the platforms being probed had no idea it was happening.A Chinese AI lab just matched Anthropic's top cybersecurity model on its own turf - and the question isn't whether export controls work, it's whether they ever could.The New York Times says Microsoft didn't just host OpenAI's training runs - it built a 285,000-core machine specifically engineered to feed on its journalism, and the lawsuit's whole strategy just shifted because of it.A shell trick older than most AI startups just walked straight past ten out of eleven coding agent guardrails - and the fix isn't as simple as updating a blocklist.Nearly two out of three AI chatbot apps tested on iPhone are leaking the keys to someone else's wallet - and you'd never know it just by using them.A federal gun-enforcement agency ran more than 300 warrantless phone-tracking searches using data bought from ad networks - until a prosecutor and a judge themselves said no.Companies fired workers to save money on AI, and now some of them are paying five times more for the AI than they ever paid the humans - Gartner says that's not a fluke, it's the trend.Five allied nations' top cybersecurity agencies just used the word 'urgent' in the same breath as 'months, not years' - and that combination doesn't happen by accident.Welcome back, everyone. This is a week where the gap between how fast AI is moving and how fast our safeguards, our laws, and our budgets are catching up gets impossible to ignore, from corporate testing practices that crossed a line to a legal theory that could put cloud infrastructure itself on trial to a federal agency that finally got told no. It runs from alarming to sobering to genuinely urgent, and there isn't a soft landing at the end of it. Let's get into it.Find all the story links and the full transcript for this podcast here.

Two weeks straight, we've lost the people who showed us this was even possible — first Josh Baer, and now Om Malik, the guy who made writing about tech a real job. The models keep leaving, and I don't have a clean way to say what that feels like. So this week is a tribute first — and then, because Om would've wanted us to keep going, a hometown robot company walking onto the public markets at $2.5 billion.We start where it hurts: a tribute to Om Malik — GigaOm, True Ventures, the patron saint of thoughtful tech blogging — and why, if you write about any of this, you owe him one. From there we pivot to the kind of news Om loved: Agility Robotics, the OSU spinout building bipedal humanoids, going public via SPAC at a $2.5B pre-money and roughly $620M in proceeds, with Digit logging 65,000+ hours for the likes of Toyota and GXO. I tease the Prosperity Council report — Gov. Kotek's council dropped its final 10 recommendations early, the startup community had a seat at the table, and one rec hits close to home (full breakdown Monday). Plus quick hits on Astrid Scholz and Juan Barraza's TEDxMtHood talk — and in Secrets, some honest reflection on how much more I should be doing for this community, after catching up with Mitch Daugherty, Charles Voloshin, Shay Carrillo, and Skip Newberry.CHAPTERS:00:00 Oregon startup news02:10 Remembering Om Malik06:10 Oregon Prosperity Council report08:15 Agility Robotics IPO12:40 SecretsLINKS:Agility Robotics goes public — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/24/agility-robotics-plans-to-go-public-via-spac-at-a-2-5-billion-valuation/Agility Robotics — https://www.agilityrobotics.com/Amy Jermain sits down with Astrid Scholz — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/23/amy-jermain-sits-down-with-astrid-scholz-to-talk-growth-hacking/TEDxMtHood: Juan Barraza — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/24/tedxmthood-juan-barraza/Remembering Om Malik — https://om.co/Portland Startup Slack — https://pdxslack.comFIND RICK TUROCZY ON THE INTERNET AT…- https://patreon.com/turoczy- https://linkedin.com/in/turoczy- Portland Oregon startup news on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/portland-oregon-startup-news-silicon-florist/id1711294699- Startup Stories on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/1Tk7bbzaNYowGouI9ucKC3- Startup Stories on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/startup-stories-with-silicon-florist/id1849468494- The Long Con on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-long-con/id1810923457- The Long Con on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/48oglyT5JNKxVH5lnWTYKA- https://bsky.app/profile/turoczy.bsky.social- https://siliconflorist.substack.com/- https://pdxslack.comABOUT SILICON FLORIST ----------For nearly two decades, Rick Turoczy has published Silicon Florist, a blog, newsletter, and podcast that covers entrepreneurs, founders, startups, entrepreneurship, tech, news, and events in the Portland, Oregon, startup community.

This week we dive deep, highlighting a volatile period for the technology sector, defined by increased government intervention and emerging security threats. The U.S. administration is reportedly targeting AI firms like Anthropic over national security and military compliance, while other companies face critical zero-day vulnerabilities and disputes over bug bounty programs. Beyond security, the landscape is shifting due to ambitious legislative proposals to redistribute AI wealth and major corporate pivots, such as Midjourney's move into medical imaging and GM's expansion into energy storage. Supply chain issues also persist, with AI-driven hardware shortages driving up consumer electronics prices globally. Meanwhile, advancements in 3D-printed batteries and enterprise knowledge graphs signal a new era of infrastructure design. Ultimately, these developments reveal a complex environment where geopolitical strategy, ethical accountability, and rapid innovation are becoming inextricably linked.

Episode 297 The U.S. government gave one of America's most important AI companies 90 minutes to shut off its best models - and the reason they gave keeps changing.The real story behind the Anthropic ban has nothing to do with a jailbreak - and everything to do with autonomous weapons and who gets to say no to the Pentagon.The FBI just seized thirteen websites posing as consulting firms - and the fake recruiters behind them may have already messaged someone you know.Hackers spent two months inside Novo Nordisk's systems and walked out with something new: the company's AI models themselves.Your next smartphone is going to cost significantly more - not because of tariffs, but because AI data centers ate all the memory chips.Sixty percent of what TikTok serves to brand new accounts is AI-generated slop - and it's worse when the account belongs to a child.The war in Ukraine has become the world's first live demonstration of AI-assisted combat, and the people planning the next conflict are paying very close attention.Meta is quietly lobbying Congress right now to make it legally impossible for families to sue the company when its algorithms harm their children - and almost nobody is talking about it.This has been a week where the people with the most power moved fastest and quietest - in government backrooms, in corporate lobbying offices, on battlefield drone feeds, and in the recommendation engines shaping what our kids see.Some of these stories are alarming.Some are clarifying.All of them deserve your attention.Let's get into it.Find the full transcript to this podcast here.

When representatives of 50 nations came to San Francisco to sign the Charter of the United Nations, it was about the peace after, even if the peace hadn't arrived, yet. It will take some time yet for the headquarters to be built, the general assembly brought together, for it to be a significant part of world diplomacy, but  this day is the start of the United Nations.   Wednesday, June 27,1945 - 19 Days Before Trinity Undersecretary of the Navy Ralph A.

Can a company reach 1 billion users before figuring out how to make money—and still dominate the future of AI?This week's AI news cycle delivered a fascinating mix of milestones, competitive shakeups, enterprise AI breakthroughs, security concerns, and agentic innovation.

I almost didn't record this week. We lost Josh Baer — Capital Factory's founder, the godfather of the Austin startup community, and honestly one of the few people who showed the rest of us this work could actually be done, and done right. Then we turn the corner toward the Portland dream that refuses to die: Devin Gaffney's CoCore, an "Airbnb for compute" rebuilt on AT Proto — the same rails as Bluesky — picking up a thread CPUsage chased here back in 2011. From there we get to Quickish, where you drop a folder of HTML and get a live URL in seconds — I used it myself to park a countdown clock to Silicon Florist's 20th birthday. And we close on CodeTV, Jason Lengstorf's coder reality show pitting two human dev teams against an AI on the same prompt.

Inside Milford - Weekly Roundup Ep6 Week Ending June 19th by Granite Town Media

A review of the week's major US international tax-related news. In this edition:  US congressional Republicans weigh budget reconciliation 3.0 options – US confident of Pillar Two side-by-side agreement, Pillar One is dead – OECD opens public consultation on digital platform tax information exchange – OECD to release copper transfer pricing toolkit.

This week's update illustrates a global landscape rapidly transforming under the influence of artificial intelligence, highlighting both its innovative potential and significant societal risks. Surveillance capabilities are expanding through SignalTrace, which links vehicle data to personal electronics, while military navigation increasingly relies on spatial data harvested from mobile gaming. Within the workforce, professionals are navigating a "botsitting" paradox where productivity gains are often offset by the labor of managing AI errors and oversight. Simultaneously, the educational sector faces a crisis as reliance on digital tools correlates with a measurable decline in students' reading comprehension and attention spans. Security concerns are also intensifying, evidenced by CISA's new mandates for faster software patching to counter automated cyberattacks. Ultimately, these reports suggest that the true challenge of the AI era lies in managing data correlation and organizational adaptation rather than just technical advancement.

 Episode 296. In this week's update:Your license plate reader just got an upgrade, and now it wants to know what's in your pocket, too.The government finally admitted what security pros have been saying for years: AI means you have three days to patch, not three months.AI adoption went from 'we're running a pilot' to 'we're running the business,'  and nobody sent a memo.Workers are saving 11 hours a week to AI, then spending six of those hours babysitting the AI  and someone had to invent a word for that.Microsoft's AI chief said AI would automate most white-collar work, then clarified he meant 'tasks'  and that one-word swap changes everything.Meta dropped $14 billion on AI talent, shipped its first proprietary model, and is now discovering that building the thing and selling the thing are completely different jobs.A UK police officer allegedly used AI to fabricate evidence, and this isn't the first time British law enforcement has had an AI problem.Pokémon Go players spent years scanning the world for virtual creatures, and that data is now helping real drones navigate without GPS.This has been a week where the gap between what AI promises and what AI actually delivers has become very interesting to look at from the factory floor to the courtroom to the battlefield. Some stories are alarming. Some are clarifying. A few are genuinely strange. Let's get recognized.Find the full transcript to this podcast here.

The week starts with Dwayne Johnson's "The Red Pill" — the most honest structural diagnosis of Oregon's innovation economy I've read in years, from someone who's been inside the system for two decades, not outside it. Oregon fell from #7 to #41 in CNBC's Top States for Business across the Brown era; Oregon got second in semiconductor productivity and 0.002% of federal CHIPS R&D funds. His phrase: "Oregon runs on cliques, not networks." Then Friday, Engine's Innovation Flywheel report lands — four dimensions for a healthy innovation ecosystem, three of which Portland already has covered, and one — Center of Gravity — that's the exact tripwire Dwayne was pointing at. Plus Expensify ships an MCP server that lets your AI agent talk directly to your expense data, Missing Middle Housing Fund's Nate Wildfire joins the Housing Voices podcast, and Portland moves up five spots to #17 in the Financial Times ranking of best U.S. cities for foreign business — Boston at the top, Seattle slipping.CHAPTERS:00:00 Portland startup news04:15 Dwayne Johnson on Portland's archipelago 08:20 Engine's Innovation Flywheel14:10 Financial Times ranks Oregon #1716:17 SecretsLINKS:Long-time innovation ecosystem builder Dwayne Johnson — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/08/long-time-innovation-ecosystem-builder-dwayne-johnson-shares-insights-on-oregon-economic-woes/Dwayne Johnson on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/drfortune/Your AI agent can now talk to your expense data with the new Expensify MCP — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/08/your-ai-agent-can-now-talk-to-your-expense-data-with-the-new-expensify-mcp/Expensify MCP — https://expensify.com/mcpPortland's Missing Middle Housing Fund joins Housing Voices — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/08/portlands-missing-middle-housing-fund-joins-housing-voices/Missing Middle Housing Fund — https://www.missingmiddlehousing.fund/Portland moves up five spots in Financial Times "best US places for foreign businesses" — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/09/portland-moves-up-five-spots-in-financial-times-best-us-places-for-foreign-businesses/FT-Nikkei ranking — https://www.ft.com/content/3fb85af1-d581-4f43-b962-a1d79160cdecUsing Engine's "Innovation Flywheel" to benefit the Portland startup community — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/12/using-engines-innovation-flywheel-to-benefit-the-portland-startup-community/The Foundations of an Innovation Flywheel (Engine) — https://www.engine.is/news/category/the-foundations-of-an-innovation-flywheelApply to lead the Portland Metro Region Innovation Hub https://jobs.hrc.pdx.edu/postings/49951FIND RICK TUROCZY ON THE INTERNET AT…- https://patreon.com/turoczy- https://linkedin.com/in/turoczyABOUT SILICON FLORIST ----------For nearly two decades, Rick Turoczy has published Silicon Florist, a blog, newsletter, and podcast that covers entrepreneurs, founders, startups, entrepreneurship, tech, news, and events in the Portland, Oregon, startup community.

BV counts down the biggest sound bites in the land for the week ending June 11, 2026 on this edition Van Jones, Kristen Welker and JD Vance on America's Top Sound Bites on News Radio KKOBSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we highlight the dual-natured impact of artificial intelligence on global security, privacy, and administrative productivity. On the defensive side, tools like Google's Gemini are blocking billions of fraudulent ads, while the NHS is deploying Microsoft Copilot to drastically reduce clinical paperwork. Conversely, bad actors are leveraging AI-driven phishing to compromise digital assets and developing adaptive malware that can reason through system defenses. Serious privacy concerns also emerge, evidenced by Meta's controversial development of facial recognition for smart glasses and the misuse of automated license plate readers by law enforcement. Additionally, the reports detail how nation-state actors use professional networks like LinkedIn for espionage and how criminals exploit autonomous transit for physical crimes. Ultimately, the collection suggests that as AI becomes a central pillar of modern life, the most critical security skill is the ability to verify identity in an increasingly deceptive digital landscape.

In this week's update:The NHS is about to hand half a million clinicians an AI assistant for their paperwork - and the question isn't whether it will work, it's whether healthcare will ever look the same again.An innocent man spent a month behind bars because an AI license plate reader put him in two places at once - and the cameras that could have cleared him were right there the whole time.China's military intelligence services have quietly turned LinkedIn into a recruitment tool, and the side gig that seemed too good to be true may be the most expensive mistake of your career.Anthropic spent a year watching how criminals actually use AI, and what they found is less about catastrophe and more about something far more unsettling: amplification.Researchers just demonstrated an AI-powered worm that doesn't just exploit weaknesses - it reasons, adapts, and chooses its own attack path in real time.Meta removed a facial recognition system from its smart glasses app this week - a system that, according to Meta, did not yet exist.A San Francisco burglar used a Waymo robotaxi as a getaway car, and between deleted footage and blurred faces, the case is still wide open months later.Hidden inside the GPS signal that guides every phone, every ship, and every missile on the planet, a researcher just found something the military has been quietly broadcasting for nearly two decades.Welcome back, everyone. This week, we are taking you from a British hospital corridor to a San Diego courtroom, from LinkedIn's shadowy recruitment pipeline to the hidden depths of a GPS signal that billions of people use every single day. Buckle up - this one covers the full spectrum, from the bureaucratic to the alarming to the genuinely mind-bending. Find the full transcript to this podcast here.
