Her floating “aerobes” inspire us to think about new ways of living with machines — and to ponder how they could evolve into living creatures. Watch her full TED Talk:

    Can we not just solve hatred world hunger and homelessness?? So sick of this tech sector bullshit

    • @madhatter113

      January 26, 2025 at 4:12 am

      Hatred is hard because it’s a feeling embedded in our code. Homelessness and world hunger are personal not collective or global problems. Poorness does not impose itself on anyone. Poor people choose to be poor and remain poor.

    No thanks. We dont need fake creatures with fake “curiosity” when we have children working in factories. Fix civilization before building AI nonsense.

    Did she say something about “one drop of blood is enough“?

    I know, she may not have said it

    But I felt a sense of déjà vu about her

    For what purpose, exactly?
    This is extremely redundant and, quite honestly, terrifying

    AI isn’t the problem is the corporations controlling the AI.

Venture firms are turning to creators to build trust with the next generation of founders before a check is ever written. It’s a trend that’s been building with a16z’s acquisition of Erik Torenberg’s Turpentine podcast and OpenAI’s acquisition of TBPN. Lightspeed Venture Partners just made its own notable hire in that vein, bringing on Claire Zau, a seed investor with a major following on Instagram and TikTok, to source deals and co-host the firm’s new show, Lightwork, alongside CMO Josh Machiz.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis is joined by Zau and Machiz to dive deep into whether the “creator-investor” is becoming a real function in venture or just something firms are still trying to figure out.
