TechCrunch is a technology news website covering startups, venture capital, and the tech industry, including a "TechCrunch Mobility" vertical on transportation.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
AI chiefs signed Trump's Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities, a pact he calls "morally binding" and TechCrunch calls "deeply non-binding." For teams that buy or build AI, it creates no duty and no protection they can plan around.

UpGuard found 16,326 Supabase databases with readable tables in a scan of roughly 300,000 domains. Supabase's new default keeps new tables off its APIs, but older tables keep their grants until owners review them and their row-level security.

New York Times lawyers quote a 2023 Microsoft memo calling AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history' in briefs a court unsealed September 17. For teams training on unlicensed data, the case puts dataset custody and internal email in the same record.
Reality
America.gov's chatbot, which draws on about 29,000 federal websites, answers Minecraft prompts with a roughly 1,800-word End Poem rewrite nobody has claimed. TechCrunch judged the text deliberate, and it now sits, with no named author, on a front end due to start hosting people's government processes in 2027.
Reality
PNC figures put paying AI consumers at 2.2% in May, averaging $31 a month, while Meta's Muse, OpenAI's Dots and a $10bn Instinct revive personal assistants. Model upgrades have barely moved either figure, so the teams shipping these agents need revenue that does not depend on a monthly fee.
Reality
RuntimeWire says a captured WIRED homepage session sent Pinterest 90 audience-segment events plus fields labelled email_sha256 and fingerprint. That traffic sits in request bodies, where a tally of outside domains cannot see it.
Reality
Meta made Muse the centerpiece of Connect, aiming the agent at consumers while OpenAI and Anthropic chase coding and enterprise work. The one hands-on report describes a one-off win. A daily habit would run on sensitive data given to an ad company.
Reality
LinkedIn now lets verified employers, which it counts at more than 700,000 companies, remove false staff from their Page's people list and search results. The impostor's profile keeps the claimed job, so the check protects only targets who look up a recruiter at a company they already know.
Reality
Kiteworks told customers to shut its file-transfer servers for nine hours this weekend after a federal warning. The company says its current release fixes every known flaw, so the outage guards against one it does not know about.

Apple's latest mercenary spyware notifications went to users in 110 countries. The response checklist is per-person, and a standard MDM baseline covers almost none of it.

Synthesia, valued at $4 billion, has an interactive avatar of its corporate affairs head answering common press questions about the company. Comms leads thinking of doing the same need a rule for what a synthetic stand-in may say to outsiders.
Reality
The cease-and-desist gave roughly 21 hours and named the repository, not just the running instances. Account-free reading of X is now a paid API key or a DSA application.

Matt Mullenweg has named four new Automattic directors weeks after the old board's leave vote against him lasted 33 hours and 20 minutes. He controls 84% of the voting power, so the people who oversee him are people he chose.
Reality
Paying for outcomes sounds cleaner than paying for tokens until someone has to price the counterfactual, and the measurement that would make NavigateAI's cut defensible has to be run inside the builder buying it.
Reality
The request came from an unauthorized account on a real government domain, and Revolut acted on it. The company calls the number of affected customers limited, and it declined to say how many or name the agency.

Kiteworks has told customers to shut down servers over a possible attack, and Heise reports a six-hour worldwide window starting Saturday. Its 9.5.1 update fixes only known flaws, so self-hosted operators are weighing downtime against a threat the company has not described.
Reality
The fraudulent request passed domain authentication because it genuinely came from the agency's mail domain, sent by an account the agency had not authorised. Revolut found out only when it called the agency to check.

HypeAuditor's tally, cited by Business Insider, counts two Instagram disclosure tags, and the creators OpenAI is paying work in parenting, fitness, travel and careers for audiences that already have the app installed.
Reality
Microsoft commissioned the 37-country survey, and its US cut puts heavy use alongside worry, with only 45% of daily users saying they trust AI results a lot.
Reality
A contractor's complaint about gas exposure grounded Zoox's Atlanta test fleet in August. The remedy on the federal record is one sensor and a battery swap, in cars where an emergency room named carbon monoxide.
