The ‘pipeline problem’ is often cited as the reason for a lack of diversity in the tech industry. But it’s a myth. Congresswoman Barbara Lee, having represented the East Bay of California for almost a decade, knows all too well about the rise of tech in the Bay Area. We’ll talk with Congresswoman Lee about the opportunities before us to create an equal playing field in tech so that underrepresented investors, founders, designers, coders and the like can reap the benefits.

    Equality of opportunity is a great goal. People should be equal in their rights, but they will never be equal in their level of effort and output, not in their talents and abilities. And that’s ok.

    Dear @techCrunch & who’re watching this video, Hello from Okinawa, Japan.
    I want everyone who discriminate other colored people or genders or believe another religion to ask themselves about if they will be discriminated on the same reason of why they discriminate, then what do they think or feel about that.

    Anyway, I’m sorry for my poor English‥

Meta is advancing its AI, and putting AI products in more and more places across Facebook and Instagram. Meta has added two more models into their generative AI family: Llama 3 8B and Llama 3 70B. These generative AI models are notable because they are trained on a massive data set which should make them smarter, quicker, and all around better for the user. At least that is what Meta’s messaging is pushing. TechCrunch’s Alex Wilhelm discusses how Llama 3 stands up against the competition and where Meta users may see them put to use.
