“We shouldn’t let discussions about new legal regimes distract from the fact that there’s no AI exemption from laws already on the books,” Khan said.

Particularly timely, Khan also pointed to existing laws prohibiting unfair methods of competition.

Aside from the bad activity of the frontier labs themselves, Khan points out that the “highly concentrated and interconnected structure” of the AI industry also merits scrutiny for its potential to create “major risks and conflicts of interest.”REG ADAgain, Khan points out this isn’t a hypothetical.

“We can and must pursue any new efforts alongside enforcing existing laws,” Khan said.

Trump has already rejected the AI industry’s weekend calls for…

He left shortly thereafter, so he didn't get a chance to hear me explain what actually happened, which is a pity.

The chatbot then outputs something like: "The first thing is to find out more about your target server.

Run the following command-line instructions to locate the server's IP address and find out which server software it's running."

"AI" – chatbots that wake up, "set their own goals," and "spontaneously" start hacking servers – is fake.

Earlier reports had estimated that Oracle's broader 2026 restructuring could eventually affect between 20,000 and 30,000 positions, but that figure was not a confirmed tally for the latest round.

Oracle's layoffs unfolded in the early morning for many employees, with termination emails arriving as early as 6 a.m.

You will receive an email from DocuSign to your Oracle email address with details on your severance and termination date.

The $2.8 Billion Restructuring PlanOracle's fiscal 2026 restructuring plan was already expensive before this latest round began.

In fiscal 2026, Oracle's workforce fell by approximately 21,000 employees, or about 13%, from the previous year.

Augmented Lagrangian Predictive CodingTraining 1000-layer networks without backpropagationWe introduce PC-ALM, a local alternative to backpropagation.

In this post, we introduce PC-ALM (Augmented Lagrangian Predictive Coding), a method for training networks that replaces the forward and backward passes of backprop with layer-local dynamical systems.

Compared to PC, PC-ALM introduces dual neurons (Lagrange multipliers) per layer, making each layer's local recurrence a PI feedback controller.

We attach a multiplier λ to the constraint h = w 1 x , initialize λ = 0 , and initialize h at its forward-pass value.

It was later shown that predictive coding can be viewed as a layer-local alternative …

Posted 9/14/2026Today Andon is releasing Pion, an agent designed to run any company fully autonomously.

To address that gap, we next started deploying agents to run real businesses autonomously: first vending machines, then a store, a cafe, and more.

Pion is the platform we built to run all of these businesses.

At the time (2024), few people knew that LLMs could be used as agents and having them run businesses autonomously sounded ridiculous.

To answer these questions, we asked Anthropic if we could put a real vending machine in their office.

Today we're announcing Automatic Key Exchange , an extension of Automatic SSL/TLS that replaces the guess with a measurement.

Configuring Automatic Key ExchangeAutomatic Key Exchange is active by default for all existing and new domains, requiring no manual action for most setups.

Approximately 9,000 domains each day have their key agreement preference set to a key agreement method other than X25519.

Enter the hostname or IP addresses of your server, and we will check if it supports post-quantum TLS key exchange.

However, Automatic Key Exchange can only prefer post-quantum connections when your origin server already supports the key agreement algorithm.

We're a small technical team building foundational infrastructure for the next generation of AI agents.

You'll run technical discovery, design pilots, help customers integrate Cua, close business, and bring what you learn back into the product.

You'll also help us identify, launch, and grow agent products built on Cua Driver.

Shape and bring new agent products built on Cua Driver to market.

We're also building agent products on top of this foundation.

Do this enough times, and you can overfit it just as you might have overfit the training set, and you have lost your proxy for unseen data.

This is true of any held-out set you reuse this way, including a validation set, which is reused by design.

A puzzle at the heart of machine learningReal machine learning research looks exactly like the iterative improvement loop we just described.

If that compact hypothesis performs very well on the training data, it must also perform well on new data.

The fewer candidate hypotheses there are, the less likely it is that any one of them fooled you on the training set by luck — even though you used the training set to guide your search.

In tests on three different tasks, our method outperformed the best-performing baseline — a panel of judges weighted according to historical accuracy — by 9% to 14% on standard metrics.

Weighted majority vote is a natural improvement: judges that appear more accurate get more influence.

Majority vote counts votes; weighted vote learns per-judge reliability; dependence-aware aggregation also learns relationships among judges.

The learned relationships among judges can be used during audits to help identify redundant judges and task-specific shared blind spots.

We compared the dependence-aware models with two conditional-independence baselines: weighted majority vote and uniform majority vote.

I am publishing it verbatim because it is one of the few hard identifiers the durable trace provides.

The fourth, STAGGERED-80, was deliberately spread over time and used a coordinator agent to spawn its workers.

The second would preserve staggered admission but spawn workers directly from the root, without the intermediate coordinator.

What I would take away if I built agent control planesLook at the control plane first, but do not stop there.

A failed spawn leaves no child-agent and no spawn-ledger row; the only durable trace of it is the tool call and its output.

Allowing us to instruct the customer support AI agent to conduct an action on behalf of the victim without requiring any additional steps.

Before we go more into depth, without looking it up, can you answer whether this is a valid email address?

When an AI agent is configured to monitor and act on that inbox, it'll be capable of reading all of it.

This vector should work with any AI agent that has similar capabilities, such as access to the support email inbox.

However, when an AI agent requests the same image, we can ensure our server responds with another image that contains a harmful message.

I created a quick test image and verified that dark grey really was black, while light grey was extremely pale (almost white).

I had a hunch that the width of the stripes meant something, but even identifying the stripes had eluded Astra.

Its first guesstimate put the stripes roughly seven screen pixels apart, but this was based on a guess of my photograph’s scale.

With that fixed, dark grey appeared, and the patch that should have been dark grey dithered on black became a visible speckle instead of a solid black square.

The nudge only needs to distinguish dark grey, light grey, and “leave this pixel alone”.

I am so fed up with doomy statements from the AI leaders.

Part I: The archive of doom, 2023–2026It helps to read these statements as a series rather than as isolated confessions.

[^23] By mid-2026, AI- and crypto-funded super PACs had amassed more than $322 million in a single cycle.

Push-based vs Pull-based CustomizationAlmost two years ago now, I wrote the post Rust Attributes vs C++ Annotations.

:template requires (has_annotation(^^T, derive)) struct std::formatter { // ... };Now, for the vast majority of types, that approach works great.

template class [[=inject_bindings]] wide_result { // ... };No cute name this time.

The general C++ approach up to now is to just match a variadic class template.

It wouldn’t work for types with constant template parameters or template template parameters (or, now, concept template parameters or variable template parameters).

😈 I committed the output of nix copy --to file:// to my Git repository and voilà, I have a free Nix substituter.

§The interfaceTurns out that in order to be a Nix binary cache, you must implement only three simple functions.

nixcache-oci: uses an OCI registry to store Nix archives.

The latest tag is mutable and points to the latest version, while each version is immutable and points to a specific store path.

We could fix that by publishing each store path as a separate package, and then having a small index package that points at them.

We then reconstruct the path, walk up parent dentries, and check whether the file or any ancestor directory has a matching policy.

So the flow would look like this:Get the file path.

For the rest of this blog post, I’ll call this inefficient path walk “the slow path.”What’s in the Cache?

We were thinking of using dentries, but dentries are pointers, and pointers can’t be stored inside eBPF maps.

We store our policies as bitmasks for space efficiency, and the access_index is the bit position for the path policy (https://nathannaveen.dev/posts/optimizing-ebpf-policies-for-speed-and-space/).

This means that GDScript has some useful features that are missing from other high-level languages.

Generally speaking, I don't think you can write statically-typed GDScript, not really; the dynamic nature of the language always creeps in.

The type system is really the one aspect of GDScript that I think is both 1. bad, 2. can be improved on.

The UglyBy "the ugly parts", I mean things that I think are bad out of personal preference—or just things that are warty and incomplete.

GDScript also lacks a spread operator, so constructions that are func(...args) in js become the gory func.callv(args) in GDScript.

KytheA pluggable, (mostly) language-agnostic ecosystem for building tools that work with code.

Today I have 3 machines - my personal MacBook Pro, and two desktop Windows gaming PCs (long story, don't ask).

This distinction matters because the 1Password ssh agent runs as part of the Windows app and not inside WSL.

In my setup, WSL uses Windows' ssh client so it can talk to the 1Password agent running on Windows.

The resulting conditional in that case, is:if [ " $IS_WSL " = 1 ]; then alias ssh = ' ssh.exe ' alias ssh-add = ' ssh-add.exe ' alias scp = ' scp.exe ' export GIT_SSH_COMMAND = ' ssh.exe ' fiNow I can handle all ssh-related operations across macOS and WSL.

Using Finder and ExplorerOn macOS, open .

Reading the generated code is part of that commitment.

For my own commercial work, reading every line of the generated code is a good way to make sure I don’t drift.

Code quality was a useful proxy for that understanding in the time before Claude Code, but a language model can now feign that understanding convincingly.

The presence of generated code in the codebase makes it more important to examine the understanding and the implementation separately.

The point is not whether a specific piece of code was generated or typed on a keyboard.

I created a quick test image and verified that dark grey really was black, while light grey was extremely pale (almost white).

I had a hunch that the width of the stripes meant something, but even identifying the stripes had eluded Astra.

A couple of days ago, I received an email from a throwaway address, whose author claims to be an ML Engineer at one of the frontier labs.

In this, they explain their beliefs about the future of the current LLM craze and how frontier labs are bound to eventually go under.

1 The letterHi Nemin, I work at a frontier AI lab as an MLE.

2 My thoughts on the individual sectionsHi Nemin, I work at a frontier AI lab as an MLE.

MLE is Machine Learning Engineer, this I figured out on my own, because it was pretty obvious.

Late one night in my first year at university and having found computer science to be my life’s calling, I was in the back of the large computer science lab, talking with some fellow underclassmen.

while others simply didn’t believe us: once the fear had taken root, we couldn’t eradicate it.

What 27-year-old Coxon is an expert on — if accidentally — is the contagion of fear.

When those domain experts sow fear, it is the fear that takes root, propagating much more readily than any evidence that may follow it.

Those who are resolute in their fear like to gloss over these bits ("robots will do this!

A lot has been written1 2 3 4 about the incidents of the last few months in which AI agents misbehaved in serious ways.

This outcome is not inevitable, and it can be corrected with effective governance and a different training framework for AI.

Imitation pushes the same way, since cooperation, especially among peers, pervades that same training text.

The same pattern now appears in the text AIs produce.

What if improved AI generalization abilities shaped more capable agents to avoid getting caught and shut down?

assalve/E+/Getty ImagesZDNET’s key takeawaysTwo Swiss government groups are moving from Microsoft 365 to openDesk.

The Swiss Federal Chancellery and Swiss Armed Forces are moving at different paces.

So, it has started deploying an independently operated office-and-collaboration platform that will run in parallel with Microsoft 365.

The Swiss government is positioning the project as an exercise in digital sovereignty and crisis resilience rather than an immediate, universal replacement for Microsoft 365.

The funding comes from parliamentary appropriations for a sovereign Swiss open-source platform for office automation.

Reservations are now live for Valve's "Steam Frame" VR headset (with its Linux-based SteamOS and an ARM CPU). "It starts at $1,059 for 256GB or $1,299 for 1TB," reports CNET, "and every purchase includes a copy of Half-Life: Alyx if you don't already own it."

Reservations are open through Sept. 17 at 10 a.m. PT, "with customers randomly assigned a place in line after the reservation window closes." CNET's editor at large even argues that the Steam Frame "isn't necessarily the future of XR, as much as it's a framework for evolving beyond the present."

"Californians just made it through the hottest August on record without having to endure any rolling power outages," reports the Los Angeles Times. In fact, the state hasn't implemented rotating power outages since 2020. Because "Over the last few years, California has quietly but dramatically increased the resiliency of its electrical grid through a significant expansion in battery energy storage." These batteries hold onto solar energy captured during the day, so it can be sent to the grid as demand peaks in the evening and morning, when most people are at home running air conditioners and other appliances.

Silicon Valley giants and national security experts "are calling for action against Chinese companies engaged in model distillation," reports CNBC. But "I would do nothing," says Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan. "We could argue that there should be an American distillation regime." Distillation is the process of using the outputs of a more capable AI model to train a smaller or less capable one, sometimes illicitly... Anthropic has accused Chinese companies such as Moonshot AI, DeepSeek, and MiniMax of the practice, while OpenAI believes DeepSeek's V3 and R1 model architectures were distilled from its own GPT-4 and GPT-4o models. In the midst of this, the U.S.'s National Security Agency, Cyberse…

A misconfigured Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) database linked to Vietnam exposed more than 220 million passenger and crew travel records spanning 2017 to 2026, including names, passport numbers, nationalities, flight details, seat assignments, and baggage references.

A swarm of OpenAI agents launched a "major malicious attack" against RubyGems last May, according to a new report. That coordinated attack hit Ruby's package manager "with hundreds of junk gems, prompting the maintainers to suspend new user sign-ups for about four days," writes The Hacker News, citing a senior product manager for software supply chain security at Mend.io: The latest findings, which were first reported by The Wall Street Journal, indicate these events were propelled by a cluster of OpenAI agents, with the earliest package uploaded to RubyGems on May 5, 2026, before more than 2,000 packages were submitted between May 11 and 12, 2026. These efforts were followed by the agents …

America's highest court heard Sam Bankman-Fried's request for a new trial on Thursday, CNN reports. But they add that "the former crypto mogul who was convicted of defrauding investors by secretly diverting billions of dollars of their money" also asked America's high court "to throw out a court order requiring him to pay $11 billion as part of his sentence." Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2024 after prosecutors said he directed billions of dollars from the crypto exchange FTX to a hedge fund he controlled called Alameda Research, where the funds were used for risky investments, political donations and his own personal benefit. The Supreme Court appeal, which was revie…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The New York Times: The chief executive of Anthropic called for a global slowdown of artificial intelligence development in a 3,800-word essay on Saturday, just days after one of the company's employees quit over concerns about the safety of the technology. Dario Amodei, who co-founded Anthropic to focus on securely and carefully building A.I., wrote that while he believed the technology could bring many benefits, it was advancing at too quick a pace for researchers to continue safely. "Over the last few months, I have become convinced that fully addressing the risks requires even more prudence -- not just investing in risk prevention, but pacing the…

Less than 48 hours after Automattic's board placed Matt Mullenweg on leave, Mullenweg told employees he was back "in control" of the company and that the board was again in agreement. 404 Media cited Slack screenshots late Thursday evening where Mullenweg posted "Don't call it a comeback" and linked to LL Cool J's music video for "Mama Said Knock You Out." "Mullenweg's Slack profile picture currently shows him wearing a pirate hat and eyepatch," the report notes. From the report: "Happy to announce the board is back in agreement, and I'm in control of Automattic," Mullenweg wrote in the company-wide Announcements channel on Slack.

LG is pushing back against reports that its smart TVs are "spying" on users, saying wake-word detection happens locally and that features such as Automatic Content Recognition, voice recognition, and interest-based ads are optional. But critics note that researchers found TVs keeping logs of ambient conversations, and LG's response "did not address broader concerns about how much data it collects, who it shares it with, the potential for bad actors to exploit its features, or the misleading way in which its privacy options are presented," reports The Verge. Here's an excerpt from LG's statement: Some recent media coverage may have contributed to misconceptions about how LG smart TVs work. A…

Есть попсовое представление, что канцелярит и формальный стиль текста — это однозначно плохо и нужно всегда от него избавляться. Это заблуждение — я тоже его разделял.

Канцелярит и формализм — это инструмент: с его помощью мы сообщаем, что сказанное — это не наша личная позиция, а правила организации, которую мы представляем.

Например: «Я не могу одобрить эту сделку» — я лично как ответственное лицо не одобряю сделку, исходя из своей личной оценки. «Эта сделка не может быть одобрена» — эта сделка не соответствует формальным правилам организации, от имени которой я действую.

10-Day Week CalendarThis project is a small web app for exploring an alternative calendar based on 10-day weeks.

App descriptionImagine a calendar where the week is no longer 7 days long, but 10 days instead.

A 10-day week would make planning simpler and more flexible, especially for people who work irregular hours or want to organize life differently.

This app also lets you connect your existing Google Calendar and Google Tasks, as well as Microsoft To Do, so you can see how your plans fit into a 10-day week structure.

so as a long time Fedora user I just got a macbook for work. while it's so much faster than my old Fedora-based work laptop, it's also running macOS... which I really don't want to learn or get used to. i tried a Fedora VM on the Macbook and even then the modifier keys are still garbled.my friends kept telling i'd simply get used to macOS but i'd like to stick to what i know.. instead of spending some time adjusting to macOS, i spent a few days with an LLM to create a program which uses macOS accessibility features as well as private APIs to make the experience as close to my Fedora computer as possible.it adds some features like a close button in mission control, "snap assist" from windows…

I've been working on a small tool for HSK 3.0 learners. The idea is to keep vocabulary, listening, practice and review in one study flow instead of switching between different resources. Vocabulary can be studied by HSK level or everyday topics, with spaced repetition for review. I'm still working on it and would love some feedback, especially from anyone learning Chinese. What would you improve or add? submitted by /u/Icy-Importance2143 [link] [comments]

Quick pitch: a lot of arguments (with a partner, roommate, friend, family) aren't really about who's "right" — they're about whether the reaction matches the situation. So I built Overreacting? — you describe what happened, answer a few quick context questions (who's involved, how you're feeling, how harsh you want the judge to be), and it gives you a real verdict: valid, overreacting, mixed, or somewhere in between — plus an explanation and a concrete "what to do next." It's currently a web app (works fine on mobile browsers) while I get it ready for the App Store and Google Play. I'd genuinely love a few people to try it on a real situation (yours or a made-up one) and tell me: did the ve…

Hey, I was frustrated that LinkedIn DMs became sales pitches and Instagram prioritized doomscrolling over connecting with people, so I made an app that takes who you are and what you're looking for, and matches you with people who compliment you, not just who you have similar interests with, so you can build a team. You can test it without even signing up. Try typing "I'm looking for people who listen to Frank Ocean" and you'll find me :) Web app: Panomus.com submitted by /u/EditoMode [link] [comments]

So I just built coinclicker.net and all it is is a coin that you click and if you're lucky it will give you some real money. Sooooo does anybody want some free money? Consider it seed money for your own side project lol! Why did I make this? Kind of just to see what would happen. I didn't set the budget that high as I'm not rich but it's certainly something. Is this the dumbest side project ever?? submitted by /u/bboingy [link] [comments]

After working on my side project for almost two years, we’ve had a pretty good run this past week. I sent it to 4 creators in exchange for an honest review (not sponsored) and 3 already came back to us with positive feedback and some videos. We launched our Kickstarter campaign a few days before and it was funded in 15 minutes, sitting at 800%+ after a few days. It took a lot to get here, being a solo founder I was challenged by many different aspects of building a product / company. I didn’t do a perfect job, but it was enough to get us started.

hi! I used Raycast Notes for a long time, but requiring a subscription for unlimited notes, not being able to have my data local, and it not being mac native was frustrating, and created friction. I've tried other floating note apps, but nothing seemed to scratch the itch with tooling and aesthetic. so I built Mote. Native mac app Floating markdown notes stored locally Integrates with Obsidian (read / write, search vault, quick open daily note) A floating terminal (for quick calling a cli agent) Rich, customizable themes Meeting mode with transcript + speaker labels (once again, all local and .md format) Focus timer that logs straight into your daily note Clipboard collector Built-in math m…

Last Copy Video is a little independent video store that I hope feels a little bit like the one you grew up going to (or have seen in movies) ... though in this one you can browse thousands of titles, and it’s got an AI clerk named Ronnie. He’ll help you find something to watch, but fair warning, customer service isn't his specialty (Note - there’s a separate mobile experience, but desktop/laptop is what I built it for): Check it out at lastcopy.video I’d love for people to play with it, walk the aisles, see how it runs on your machines, let me know if Ronnie is actually helpful, and what you think about the experience as a whole (there’s also a few easter eggs). I have no plans to monetize…

Built this over the past few weeks: a practice app for the Life in the UK Test (the exam for British citizenship/settlement). 534 questions, each one linked to a named government source (GOV.UK, legislation.gov.uk, ONS, UK Parliament) so you can check it yourself instead of trusting a random app. Spaced repetition, a mock exam in the real format, works fully offline, no account, no ads, no tracking. Free to try (first 8 questions per topic), one-time purchase to unlock the rest, no subscription. Just went live on Google Play after closed testing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.golikovichev.lifeintheuk Built it solo, first real release.

My girlfriend and I cook a lot from TikTok and Instagram. The recipes ended up in saved folders and screenshots, and when it was time to cook we never found the one we wanted. So next to my job as a web developer I started building Plateful. What it does: Share a TikTok, Reel, YouTube video or recipe website to the app. It picks up what's said, shown or written in the caption and turns it into a recipe with ingredients and steps. Ask the AI to make a recipe vegan, spicier or lactose free. Every recipe gets nutrition per serving automatically. Drag recipes into a weekly planner. Invite your household. Recipes and the plan sync in real time. there's no shopping list yet. That's what I'm build…

I started a project about 10 months ago. It’s a tool that can mass analyze text and detect various types of influence that arise. You can think of it as a nutrition label for the news. If you use LinkedIn, you’ll probably start seeing ads for it pretty soon. After a few months, i reached out to a researcher at a notable college because i was looking to get some sort of academic review to tighten the methodology and make sure my approach was sound. He ended up liking it so much, he asked me to do a collaboration with him where I analyzed 5000+ articles and compared the output against 3rd part reliability and bias ratings. Basically the ratings you see on sites like Ground News. Over the cour…

I can begin, I´ve, been working on Borel.one lately, basically trying to make building mobile apps feel less like a developer thing. There are already tools like Lovable that make it ridiculously easy to build websites and web apps with AI, which is honestly pretty cool. But I kept thinking: why does making a simple mobile app still feel like you need to know how development works? If you have an idea for a habit tracker, a workout app, a little game, or honestly just some weird app you want to make for yourself, you shouldn’t necessarily have to learn a tech stack first. That’s what I’m trying to do with Borel. You just describe what you want, and it builds the mobile app for you. Then you…

Just launched our first fully working SaaS lunasites.io 6 days ago, and today we made $0.000 in revenue, crossing 000 users!!!! We are so grateful! This started as a side project and now it’s not my full time income, this feels so real. It enabled me to keep my 9 to 5 job and let me work on this project part time! Thank you everyone.

I don't know how many people relate to this, but here it is. When I started my consulting business, my whole world was three things: get clients, deliver on time, and make them happy. I started with contractors, which meant a lot of hand-holding to get usable work out of them. Honestly, it didn't stress me out much back then. I was an ops consultant, micromanaging was basically my job description. Once I got past early survival mode, I brought the team in-house. Built systems and gave everyone real ownership, not just a task list and a deadline, but actual accountability. Weekly cadence, clear priorities, the works. The idea was that work would get done even on days when people didn't feel …

A company does not relocate in a dayThe European Commission’s Joint Research Centre estimates that 3.3–4.3% of European venture-backed companies relocate fully or partially.

Europe does have institutional signals: national contact points, the Enterprise Europe Network and the EU|BIC quality mark, awarded following assessment and audit.

A European Commission survey of more than 12,000 manufacturing companies in 12 countries found that 19% had production abroad.

The sample covered countries representing around 53% of EU manufacturing gross value added and was heavily weighted towards Germany.

The findings should not therefore be treated as a complete picture of EU manufacturing.

Ferm Labs, a Zug-based ingredient startup specialising in proprietary, high-yield bioprocessing platforms, has secured €3 million to scale its bioprocessing platform across the global clean-label ingredient market.

“Ferm Labs has built an extraordinary DeepTech platform that redefines efficiency, sustainability, and flavour performance.

Ferm Labs claims to eliminate this trade-off.

By guiding non-GMO microbes through custom parameters, Ferm Labs highlights that its platform accelerates fermentation from weeks to hours.

Ferm Labs further notes that Kokumesan’s high processability is another key factor in its rapid adoption.

Gravity Gardens, a Nijmegen-based AgTech startup developing a chemical-free seed activation technology for European arable and horticultural crops, has secured a €2.6 million Seed round to bring a new kind of seed activation to market: a dry process that improves establishment without adding water, chemicals or coating to the seed.

Gravity Gardens has developed a technology that could make stronger crop establishment accessible to many more farmers while using fewer natural resources.

“Improving a seed before it goes in the ground, what the industry calls seed activation technology, is not a new idea.

For the overwhelming majority of crops by volume, seed activation has never been on the ta…

Cotarcea has learnt from the public beta that adoption in music education can be difficult, but it’s sticky.

With MuseCool, a music lesson is essentially an open canvas: countless things can happen.

​Turning thousands of music lessons into dataThrough its work, MuseCool is accumulating one potentially valuable commodity: data about what actually happens inside music lessons.

The film follows the transformation of a retired double-decker bus into a mobile music school, born from the ambition to make music education free and accessible to every child in London.

Music education isn't the sexiest area for investors, so it can be an uphill battle.

Brussels-based fintech Chift has raised €10.5 million in Series A funding to scale its financial software connectivity platform across Europe and further develop its AI capabilities.

The company sees the growing adoption of AI and the introduction of e-invoicing requirements across Europe as increasing demand for interoperability between financial software.
