The money tells the story: @Apptronik secured $520M for humanoid robots while @Anthropic finalized $30B at a $380B valuation. But the real shock? @Spotify's top engineers haven't written code since December—they're using AI agents instead. Markets are reacting to AI's energy demands faster than expected. [2/5]
ByteDance dropped Seedance 2, generating video from text, images, audio, and video inputs. @OpenAI nuked GPT-4o access, leaving users worldwide mourning their AI companions. Meanwhile, our Wednesday deep-dive showed the hidden problem: AI agents write fast, messy code that someone still has to clean up. [3/5]
Half of @xAI's founding team walked away after the SpaceX merger. That's not normal startup churn—that's a red flag about what happens when AI companies get too big too fast. Here's what mattered this week [1/5]

Real-world AI deployment accelerated: Santa Monica deployed AI cameras to catch bike lane blockers, while IBM plans to triple entry-level hiring focused on AI collaboration. But here's the twist—these aren't coding jobs. They're human-AI teamwork roles. The job market is shifting faster than anyone predicted. [4/5]
Takeaway: This week proved AI is past the hype phase. When half a founding team quits a trillion-dollar merger and top engineers stop coding entirely, we're in uncharted territory. Watch for more talent exodus stories and coding job transformations next week. The transition is accelerating. [5/5]
