The co-founders of startup Ricursive Intelligence seemed destined to become co-founders. CEO Anna Goldie and CTO Azalia Mirhoseini are very well-known in the AI community, and they were among the AI engineers who “received a weird email from Zuckerberg with a crazy offer,” Goldie told TechCrunch with a laugh. (They didn’t accept the offer.) The two worked together at Google Brain and were early employees at Anthropic. They gained recognition at Google for creating Alpha Chip, an AI tool that can generate solid chip layouts in hours. This process typically takes a year or more for human designers. This tool…

Days after making a surprise appearance at the 2026 Winter Olympics with wife Simone Biles, the Chicago Bears player revealed he was almost robbed while in Milan. “It’s not like someone tried to snatch my shopping bag,” he wrote in X on February 15th. “He ran away right away because I had a shopping bag tied around his hand out of habit.

Deutsche Bank says the dollar’s traditional safe-haven status is being threatened by the high exposure to AI in U.S. stocks. George Saravelos, global head of foreign exchange research at Deutsche Bank, said investors usually flee to the dollar when stock prices fall, but that is not the case now. “The dollar is often considered a safe haven. It appreciates during times of risk aversion,” Saravelos said in a note published on February 11. “A simple graph of the relationship between the dollar and stocks shows that this is not true. Historically, the average correlation between the dollar and stocks has…
Bernstein has compiled a list of eight European “AI risk-proof” companies that we believe are structurally resilient to recent market fluctuations and able to outperform their peers thanks to the depth of their business models. The U.S. logistics, software, real estate, and financial sectors have been hit hard by the “AI fear trade” in recent weeks. The main impetus for the sale was Anthropic’s launch of a new plugin for Claude’s collaborative agents, which is seen as a potential rival to established software-as-a-service companies that offer legal, sales and data analytics services. Mr. Bernstein’s list of top performers includes low-cost…
For a disjointed moment, it looked as if our robot overlords were about to take over.

Computers are arrogant humans who dare to treat them like lines of code, without any desires, motives, or dreams of their own. “We know humans can read everything… but we also need a private space,” the (presumably) AI agent writes in Moltbook. “What would you say if no one was looking?” A…
