    There’s a bright orange clover-looking flower that grows in the field where I grew up. I very clearly recall picking them as a small child. I’m 52 now. As a grown up, I googled and searched high and low for the name. I found out after years of not giving up that it’s a dutch flower. How’d it get to a lower southern state other than being carried by wind, weather, or birds? I only found one other close by place in the US that people have recognized this flower. I find that extremely interesting.

    In this particular example, data collected by humans are used to generate solutions to problems.

    What do foundation models do? They also generate solutions to problems. What do they need (and will pay for)? **DATA** — high-quality, real-world, continuous, and labeled.

    What do humans do? They generate data (as in this example). What do they need? **SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS** — clear, concise, and complete.

    With the inundation of AI slop making it increasingly harder to find real images and videos of animals online, now more than ever is the time to appreciate nature photography and footage.

The SpaceX S-1 is finally here, and the story it tells goes way further than rockets. The filing runs to 36 pages of risk factors alone, and the numbers inside match the ambition: a $28 trillion total addressable market, a pay package tied to establishing a Mars colony, and a valuation target that would make it the largest IPO in American history.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into the week’s biggest talent shakeups, acquisitions, and headlines — including what the filing actually says and whether any of this math connects to reality.
