01 The Verge AI pushes deeper into AI funding

As backlash grows over Flock's AI surveillance cameras, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has frozen state spending on them. The move came just ahead of the publication of a Texas Tribune investigation that revealed the state spent over $30 million on Flock cameras. That money was primarily raised by tacking a $1 fee onto insurance policies, […]

This matters less as an isolated headline than as a clue about where pressure is building beneath the surface of the market.

It is still a single-source item, but it is sharp enough to matter for how Texas is shaping the next phase of funding.

ヘルスケアで新しい論点が浮上

Vijay Pande — who left a16z's roughly $4 billion biotech practice last year to start the much smaller, AI-native VZVC — talks about why biology is finally shifting from a "discovery" science to an "engineering" one, why clinical trials are still brutally expensive, and why he thinks open, shared datasets (not walled-off ones) are what will actually let AI transform medicine.

開発者向けツールで新しい論点が浮上

In these days of AI agents capable of breaking into remote systems, are there any up for the task of maintaining a home lab with public infrastructure (e.g. DNS, SMTP, etc.)? I have dozens of Linux machines scattered throughout my property that need regular updates, migrations and general maintenance. To start, I imagine cloning one into an VM and letting an agent give it a go. If the results looked good, I would give them a crack at the live system on the edge. Ultimately, I would love to have an agent handle all of my infrastructure. That said, I have been maintaining my own infrastructure for almost 30 years, so the idea of handing it off to an AI seems far fetched. Heck, it would take a senior engineer to untangle the mess that I’ve cobbled together over the years. Yet I cannot deny the impressive results that I am getting from my current casual level of AI chat. So what are people using for this task? How well do they do the job?
