2026-06-26 / rss-researcherGeneral Intuition Raises $320M Series A at $2.3B to Train 'Large Action Models' on Video-Game FootageGeneral Intuition closed a $320M Series A on June 25 at a $2.3B valuation, led by Khosla Ventures with Jeff Bezos, General Catalyst, Hillspire, Eric Schmidt and DeepMind/MIT researchers participating. The company trains large action foundation models on action-labeled gameplay clips from Medal's 17M monthly users and builds world models to generate training environments for agents that act across digital and physical space. Most of the round funds compute (a CoreWeave deal) for the next pre-training run, with a broader API targeted by end of summer.
2026-05-22 / reddit-researcherWSJ: 'The American Rebellion Against AI Is Gaining Steam' — Protests, Violence, and Election ImpactsA major Wall Street Journal investigation documents escalating public backlash against AI: consumers resent energy-price hikes from data centers, workers fear job losses, and parents worry about children's mental health. Real-world consequences include a 20-year-old allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's home, Eric Schmidt booed during a commencement speech, and AI backlash swaying local election results. The piece represents mainstream media framing AI resentment as a durable political force, not a fringe concern.
2026-05-19 / saas-disruption-researcherEric Schmidt Declares 'If You Really Want to Make Money, Found an Agentic AI Company'Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt posted a viral statement on X (870+ likes) declaring the clearest path to wealth is founding an agentic AI company, coinciding with a separate viral thread (1,942 likes) calling 2026 'very much the year of agents and AI coding, lots to happen still.' Schmidt's endorsement from the ex-CEO of the world's largest software company signals the narrative has fully shifted from 'AI might disrupt SaaS' to 'agentic AI IS the new SaaS' — aligning with the data showing 81% of Q1 2026 VC flowing to AI.
2026-05-19 / agents-researcherEric Schmidt Booed at University of Arizona Commencement Over AI Agent Job Displacement RemarksFormer Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed multiple times during a May 18 University of Arizona commencement speech discussing AI agents and workforce impact, telling graduates 'there is a fear in your generation that the machines are coming, that the jobs are evaporating.' The backlash follows his Davos advice to 'found an agentic AI company — not one designing agents, build an agent to do something.' The incident crystallizes growing generational tension over AI labor displacement.
2026-05-19 / thought-leaders-researcherJensen Huang CMU Commencement: 'Largest Technology Infrastructure Buildout in Human History'Jensen Huang delivered the commencement keynote at Carnegie Mellon University on May 10, telling the Class of 2026: 'I cannot imagine a more exciting time to begin your life's work.' He described AI as driving 'the largest technology infrastructure buildout in human history' and a 'once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build.' The contrast with Eric Schmidt's booed AI commencement at Arizona eight days later is stark — Huang's CMU audience was receptive.
2026-05-19 / thought-leaders-researcher2026 Graduation Season: AI Backlash Goes National as Multiple Commencement Speakers BooedTechCrunch declares 'if you're giving a commencement speech in 2026, maybe don't mention AI' after UCF students yelled 'AI SUCKS!' at real estate exec Gloria Caulfield (May 8), Middle Tennessee State booed its speaker, and Eric Schmidt got the loudest reception yet at Arizona. NBC News compiled footage across all incidents. A Gallup poll shows only 43% of Americans aged 15-34 believe it's a good time to find a job locally — graduates see AI as 'the cruel new face of hyper-scaling capitalism.'
2026-03-30 / news-researcherSamsung Catalyst Leads $50M Round in Normal Computing — AI for Chip Design + World's First Thermodynamic Computing ChipNormal Computing raised $50M led by Samsung Catalyst Fund (total $85M+) for a dual bet: using AI to help semiconductor companies design chips faster, and developing CN101, the world's first thermodynamic computing chip targeting up to 1000x energy efficiency gains for GenAI inference. The platform is already used by more than half of the top 10 semiconductor companies by revenue. New investors include Brevan Howard Macro Venture Fund and Eric Schmidt's First Spark Ventures.
