A 26-year-old man went massively viral after sharing he’d been on Tinder for 5 years, swiped right on 2 million girls, and landed only one date, which ended with “no spark.” Ladies were quick to point out the guy was not only fat, but holding fish in several pictures (something they apparently really hate). Men, on the other hand, noted the guy was middle-of-the-pack attractive, fishing is cool, and women today are cruel and delusional. Now, I sort of just assume most of the guy’s might-be matches noticed the sweatshirt in one of his pictures that read “SITYA ASS ON MY FACE” and moved along. But with birthrates plummeting amidst an epidemic of loneliness, I do have a request for my beloved technology brothers: put down your dystopian AI girlfriends, and build our zoomers an AI coach that doesn’t try to find them dates, but simply makes them datable. Because holy shit.

Last week, I uncovered internal documents at Harvard revealing explicit racial favoritism in faculty and administrative hiring. Specifically, the material shows that the school set aggressive racial hiring targets, including increasing the number of minorities in certain positions by nearly 500% and reducing the number of white men across dozens of occupations. I also found that Harvard’s official hiring guide instructs departments to favor “women and minorities” at each step in the hiring process, telling admissions staff to literally move white men to the bottom of the application pile. Following my reporting, Harvard conveniently removed the racist hiring guide from their website. Is a desperate act of damage control from their racially-selected IT department enough to save face? Time will tell. But maybe the institution being investigated by the government for discrimination should have checked to make sure their send-the-white-men-to-the-bottom-of-the-pile policy wasn’t in writing before claiming a right to our tax dollars.

Friday, TechCrunch wrote that The Nuclear Company, which is building a new class of reactors, raised a $51.3 million Series A, part of a broader wave of excitement around nuclear energy. (Google and Amazon are writing huge checks to fund these kinds of projects, too). But the industry faces an unexpected headwind: House Republicans just proposed a bill that would end subsidies for nuclear, wind, solar, batteries, geothermal, and other clean energy tech after 2028 to help offset the cost of tax cuts. This is unwise. While Trump pushes coal, China is adding literally hella gigawatts of energy across the board — hydro, nuclear, solar, wind, and coal — because it doesn’t have to cherry-pick its power sources to appease political coalitions. As long as our subsidies are flowing to American companies who want to build the future, let’s not create a(nother) needless disadvantage for ourselves. Keep the hose on — for every single source of power possible.

It feels painfully obvious to say, but we’ll say it anyway, because you still don’t have an AI SEO plan. If you’re not showing up on ChatGPT, no one is going to know you exist in the future. Full stop.

Let’s not pretend this can wait.

Get a plan. Get Profound.

over 1,000 ai-related laws have been drafted since gavin newsom vetoed sb 1047, a draconian bill that would have created a new state agency to govern ai and effectively regulate the industry nationwide. but a new measure in congress seeks to put a moratorium on ai legislation at the state level. brian chau explains why this is a moment of truth for startup influence in d.c.
