My phone buzzed in my pocket; I ignored it. A moment later, it buzzed again. I pulled it out, glanced down, and saw a "motion…

MIT students gain a humanist lens on technical innovation in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Publisher preview

When MIT mechanical engineering student Daphne Wang arrived for her internship at the Muscogee Creek Nation Department of Health in Tulsa, Oklahoma last summer, she expected to be writing code. To her surprise, she found herself analyzing tribal history and the implications for technical innovation. “I learned so much that I think should be required curriculum for every single person in this country,” says Wang. “I think tech for good is genuinely getting out into communities and learning about people who aren't you, creating worldly perspectives that you ultimately can…

Anthropic to pay Akamai $11.6 billion over seven years in cloud deal

Publisher preview

Anthropic will spend $11.6 billion over seven years on Akamai’s cloud infrastructure, Akamai said Thursday. That’s more than six times the size of a $1.8 billion deal between the two companies that Bloomberg reported in May. The commitment isn’t ironclad; according to Akamai’s securities filing, it depends on Akamai meeting certain delivery and service-availability requirements, and either company can end the agreement under certain conditions. The deal is the largest in Akamai’s history and continues Anthropic’s compute gobbling-streak. It also represents a bet on a less-hyped corner of AI infrastructure:…

AI was supposed to hit new grads hard. So far, unemployment data says otherwise.

Publisher preview

“There is no evidence of any significant, widespread displacement or reduction in hiring.” Last month, we shared word of a Stanford University study that found entry-level employment in so-called “AI-impacted” occupations lagging well behind that in other fields. Now, a new working paper from economics researchers at Munich’s CESifo finds the opposite, arguing point blank that “there is no evidence of any significant, widespread displacement or reduction in hiring of recent college graduates in absolute or relative levels.” In “The Early Impacts of AI on Employment Among Recent College Graduates,”…

Proaction boosts sales 60% and saves 75+ hours with Codex

Publisher preview

With Codex, GPT‑Live‑1, and GPT‑6 Astra, Proaction builds, operates, and sells modern fleet management faster. Proaction⁠ builds software for businesses that manage fleets of vehicles, from cars and trucks to construction machinery. Because every fleet operates differently, showing prospects how Proaction’s platform fits their business is an essential part of selling it. But personalized demos required engineering time the team couldn’t spare. The founders had to rely on conversations and slide decks to explain what was possible. Codex flipped the script. “As a non-technical person, I used to have to…

Mark Wahlberg is coming to TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, and he wants to talk about your work, not his

Publisher preview

Let’s just get this out of the way: Mark Wahlberg is as A-list as it gets. He broke out in 1997’s “Boogie Nights,” and in the nearly three decades since, he’s built one of the highest-wattage careers in Hollywood: two Academy Award nominations, a Golden Globe nod for “The Fighter,” multiple Emmy nominations as a producer (HBO’s “Entourage” among them), and a filmography that spans crime dramas, comedies, and action blockbusters. Right now, he’s back on-screen in “By Any Means,” a manhunt thriller set during the 1966 Mississippi civil rights…

Meta’s Muse just stole the AI spotlight from OpenAI and Anthropic

Publisher preview

When AI leaders at OpenAI and Anthropic started talking about “pacing the frontier,” maybe someone should have asked: what pace? Now it’s turned into model drop week for both companies as Anthropic rolled out Opus 5.5, followed by OpenAI’s GPT-6 model updates just 90 minutes later. But the company that stole the spotlight was Meta, whose personal AI agent Muse is reportedly outpacing ChatGPT’s early numbers and is headed for smart glasses and a tiny Tamagotchi-style device next.
