🔥 New Gitcoin site just dropped Why? The funding landscape is fragmented. Lessons aren't being shared. Experiments are happening in isolation. So we built a living reference: the tools, the teams, the research, the results. All in one place. Turning hard-won experience into

On June 12, a US Commerce export control directive forced Claude Fable 5 offline for every user worldwide – three days after launch, no restoration date. Anthropic opposed the order. The model went dark anyway. Every user depended on one company inside one government’s

More Americans say they would rather live next to a nuclear power plant than a data center. 188 opposition groups across 40 states. $64 billion in projects blocked or delayed. A moratorium bill sitting on Governor Hochul's desk right now. The coverage says these communities

Something feels off online. One post gets thousands of views, but the replies feel hollow. Another post makes the same point and gets no visibility at all. Sometimes it's hard to tell if this thing is even on. And this week, the numbers caught up to the feeling: Cloudflare’s

Four companies – Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta – are projected to spend ~$700B on AI infrastructure this year, close to double what they spent in 2025. Whoever owns the infrastructure sets the rules everyone else has to build around – and when the frontier AI compute layer

You’ve spent 15 years contributing open source code. Now, to stay employable, you rent your capability back from companies that trained their models on your work. Just so you can keep pace. This week, Anthropic shipped Opus 4.8 alongside workflows that can run hundreds of

We ask Claude to draft apologies before we've internalized what we've done wrong. We ask ChatGPT to edit our emotions into a response that protects us from being known. Someone asks us a question, and our first instinct is to ask Gemini to answer for us. We used to hold human

Our phones know where we sleep, what we search for at 2am, and who we stop talking to. We're forced to subscribe to our toothbrushes. Our lawnmowers. Our refrigerators. Our cars. Our feeds know our anxieties, our preferences, and our deepest convictions. And all of this data –

Meta cut 8,000 jobs today. More than 140,000 tech workers laid off this year. And it's only May. Meanwhile: Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are projected to spend $725B on AI infrastructure this year. The money isn’t gone. It moved. From payroll to compute. From people to
