The move comes as Google’s search business faces unprecedented threats from ChatGPT and following its loss in a U.S. antitrust case that could hurt the company’s ability to distribute its search product.

The unusual deal will be structured so Meta will send the cash to Scale’s existing shareholders and place the startup’s CEO, Alexandr Wang, in a top position inside Meta, the people said. The deal, which hasn’t yet been finalized, appears to be a rich one for... Read more ›

Dozens of investment funds that bet on mature startups before the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates in early 2022 got creamed. Not Sands Capital, which began investing in public stocks 33 years ago but decided to get into startup investing in 2014. The reason: The firm’s biggest late-stage private tech fund paused making investments in new startups in August 2021, after its managers felt founders were seeking valuations that were... Read more ›

If all goes as planned in August, a startup called Starcloud from Redmond, Wash., will load a rocket bound for space with a refrigerator-sized satellite, the first to contain an Nvidia H100 chip. Normally, that chip is at the heart of the sprawling data centers back on Earth that run the latest artificial intelligence models. Compared to existing data centers, the Starcloud satellite will be almost comically under-powered: It may... Read more ›

Another year, another viral tweet argues against “learning to code.” The latest one comes with cherry-picked data implying that art history majors outperform computer scientists in labor markets. Yet the underlying data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York prove the opposite. Art history grads have low unemployment—just 3%—because they are actually underemployed: 47% work in low-wage jobs that require no college degree and earn almost half the median... Read more ›

When Chime CEO Chris Britt pitched his company to venture capitalists a decade ago, he got a lot of handshakes and little money. Venture capitalists, he has said, were too rich to understand why low- or no-fee bank accounts would appeal to people living paycheck to paycheck.

Today’s episode of America’s greatest reality series—yes, I’m talking about Elon Musk’s falling-out with President Donald Trump—was a barn burner. But rather than rehashing the gory details here (as extraordinary as their social media back-and-forth was, it was also entirely predictable), it’s more interesting to consider what this means for tech’s broader relationship with the Trump administration. I’m talking about the tech bros still in the White House—most obviously artificial... Read more ›

Agencies have long functioned as an intermediary between creators and advertisers. But they may start to get squeezed out, as major brands and creators try to build longer-term relationships with each other and take more creative risks. “Outsourcing” relationships between brands and creators will no longer fly, said Esi Eggleston Bracey, chief growth and marketing officer at Unilever, at The Information’s Future of Influence event on Tuesday.
