Cursor is in talks with investors for a funding round that would value it at $50 billion, nearly double its valuation last fall. The discussions are preliminary and may not result in a funding deal. One of the fastest-growing startups of all time, Cursor is a central player in tech's vibe coding era. It has attracted financing from top names in venture capital and the tech industry. The company's last financing round, announced in November, boosted its valuation to $29.3 billion.
Personal Computer is a version of Perplexity Computer that handles things on a nearby computer. It handles requests from users and directs multiple AIs to complete tasks. It is effectively a project manager that delegates tasks to other AIs before combining the results and presenting them. Perplexity has specifically named the Mac Mini as a platform that Personal Computer can run on. There is currently a waitlist for access.

Autoresearch is a tool that ingests a training script and a metric and then edits code, runs experiments, checks if the metric improved, keeps or discards, and repeats. It allows researchers to optimize models overnight, even without any machine learning experience. Andrej Karpathy used it to squeeze 11% more speed out of his GPT-2 training. Shopify's CEO used the tool to train a 0.8B model overnight that outscored his previous 1.6B model.
NVIDIA just released Nemotron 3 Super, a 120B open hybrid MoE model (12B active) designed for agentic and multi-agent AI systems.
Google's controlled experiments showed that enabling reasoning improved single-hop factual recall in LLMs by acting as a computational buffer and by generating related facts that help retrieve answers, though hallucinated intermediate facts increased final-answer errors.
Large language models are probably not currently being used in mission-critical ways, but this will change within 20 years, when 99% of the workforce will be AIs. Our future civilization will run on AI labor. We need to think through some extremely important questions about who this future workforce will be accountable and aligned to, and who gets to determine that. The only way to preserve a free society is to make laws and norms saying it is unacceptable for the government to use AI to enforce mass surveillance, censorship, and control. Individual acts of corporate courage will not solve the problem.
Anthropic has launched the Anthropic Institute to tackle AI's societal challenges.

Crypto taxes suck. And the recent 1099-DA regulations make them suck even more.
Bitcoin pulled back to $69,500 during European trading hours after failing to penetrate $71,750 resistance, declining 0.55% since geopolitical tensions from the US-Israel war with Iran drove cautious trading and over $220 million in crypto futures liquidations (mostly longs), while most altcoins lagged. Derivatives positioning showed institutional appetite remaining weak with CME bitcoin futures open interest dropping to $7.39 billion (lowest since September 2024) and similar declines in ETH futures, though crypto sentiment improved from "extreme fear" to "fear" territory at 25/100 on the Fear and Greed index as the market demonstrated relative strength versus precious metals and US equities since the conflict began March 1.
Wells Fargo, a financial services giant with approximately $2.1 trillion in assets, filed a trademark application for “WFUSD” on March 9 covering three international classes, including downloadable software for digital asset trading, payments and wallet functionality, cryptocurrency trading and exchange services, and software-as-a-service for asset tokenization and blockchain-based trading infrastructure. The “WFUSD” name resembles ticker symbols commonly used for stablecoins, and the filing explicitly references software for processing stablecoin transactions, though Wells Fargo has not publicly commented on the application. The trademark filing builds on Wells Fargo's prior crypto infrastructure investments, including $5 million in blockchain analytics firm Elliptic in February 2020 and participation in Talos's $105 million Series B round in May 2022 alongside Citigroup and BNY Mellon, which valued the crypto trading infrastructure firm at $1.25 billion.
Aon, which manages roughly $5 trillion in assets, completed a proof-of-concept settling insurance premiums via USDC on Ethereum and PYUSD on Solana with Coinbase and Paxos – the first known instance of a major insurance broker accepting stablecoins for premium settlement. Cross-border premium settlement through bank clearing can take days, whereas stablecoin rails compress that to minutes with on-chain auditability. The initiative gained regulatory footing from the GENIUS Act, increasingly cited as a prerequisite for institutional stablecoin adoption at scale.
AI-linked crypto tokens rallied ~4.8% to a collective $14.17B market cap after reports that Nvidia is developing NemoClaw, an open-source platform for deploying autonomous, multi-step AI agents in enterprise environments. Bittensor (TAO) led gains, with NEAR Protocol and Internet Computer also advancing. Nvidia approached Salesforce, Cisco, Google, Adobe, and CrowdStrike as potential partners, with the platform incorporating enterprise security and privacy tooling. NemoClaw is slated to debut at Nvidia's GTC developer conference beginning March 17. Though there is no direct link with Nvidia's announcement and AI tokens, investors are hoping that open agents naturally use crypto rails for verifiability and decentralization.
This post identifies six critical ERC-4337 vulnerabilities, including improper access control, unsigned gas fields, and stateful validation. These flaws enable fund drainage or account hijacking. Developers must implement EIP-712 domain separation and strict EntryPoint restrictions to secure programmable smart wallets against sophisticated on-chain exploits.
CL-USDC perpetual funding data reveals a pronounced "TradFi Gap" phenomenon: weekends comprise only 29% of total hours yet account for 54% of all funding paid, with weekend mean APR of 40.82% running 2.85x above the weekday rate of 14.33% (overall mean 22.01%, positive funding frequency 79.2%). When TradFi closes, crude oil price discovery moves entirely onchain, and without desks to balance hedges, funding rates spike – the March 7 weekend averaged 74% APR as oil breached $100 amid Iran strike headlines. The proposed Boros trade is to enter pay-fixed/receive-floating swaps ahead of each weekend to capture the rate spike, then rotate to receive-fixed/pay-variable at Monday open as TradFi liquidity returns and rates compress.
Blockstack's $15.5 million SEC-qualified token offering shifted focus from user-centric tools like Gaia to chain infrastructure. This transition replaced empirical feedback loops with narrative-driven roadmaps, prioritizing token price over developer needs. It illustrates how crypto incentives can perpetually delay product-market fit by favoring future speculation over current utility.
Despite a February market correction that drove TVL down 21.58% MoM to $44.94B and triggered approximately $429M in liquidations across 12,500 transactions, Aave's protocol revenue paradoxically rose 31.24% MoM to $13.40M, with liquidation activity and Chainlink SVR contributing $4.6M (34.4% of monthly revenue). GHO demonstrated resilience, growing 6.74% MoM to $467.53M market cap, while RWA deposits crossed $1B and cumulative loans originated since V1 surpassed $1 trillion. Aave maintained 59.36% lending market share with MAU rising 34.88% MoM to 154.63K, and L2 chains accounting for 60%+ of active users. A governance proposal dubbed the "Aave Will Win Framework" was put forward to redirect 100% of product revenue to the DAO treasury.
Aave founder Stani Kulechov argues DAOs must separate treasury oversight from execution to increase speed.

Apple is reportedly planning to launch a new iMac later this year with a refreshed color palette similar to the MacBook Neo's Silver, Blush, Citrus, and Indigo options. The new iMac would likely feature Apple's M5 chip, following the current M4 iMac lineup that comes in seven colors. It remains unclear whether Apple will use the same Neo colors or maintain its current $1,299 starting price.
Adobe has launched a beta AI assistant for Photoshop on the web and mobile, enabling users to edit images through natural language commands instead of navigating menus. The assistant can modify backgrounds, adjust lighting, remove objects, and guide users through complex workflows via text or voice. It's part of Adobe's broader AI push across its creative suite, which recently expanded to include conversational PDF editing and AI tools in Acrobat and Premiere.
Rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro may be slightly thicker (8.8 mm) to accommodate a larger 5,000mAh+ battery and the new 2 nm A20 Pro chip, while Apple may reuse some iPhone 17 Pro molds. If that happens, expected changes like a much smaller Dynamic Island and under-display Face ID could be reduced or delayed.
The Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl victory demonstrates how a brand culture that contemporizes heritage can be a powerful competitive advantage. Brand provenance - a company's authentic history and origin story - serves as a foundational strength when it preserves the best of the past while staying relevant for present and future performance. Successful brands maximize the paradox between heritage and relevance rather than simply balancing them, creating distinctive value propositions that don't compromise on contradictory benefits.
Designing layout content blocks instead of full templates offers a more adaptable approach for modern digital products, unlike rigid page templates that break when content shifts. Modular blocks are self-contained units built on consistent grid systems, allowing pages to scale naturally. This approach speeds up iteration, simplifies developer handoffs, and embeds brand consistency directly into the system.
Design teams often struggle to show impact because they join companies late—after products are already built with little UX—and are sometimes treated as visual executors rather than strategic contributors. To increase their influence, designers must broaden their skills beyond visuals by understanding business, data, leadership, and new technologies like AI and code.

Women designers in the Dribbble community share diverse stories of building creative careers on their own terms, from freelance illustrator Irene Neyman, who reformatted her career after becoming a mother to prioritize intentional project choices. Miné Day, co-founder of MUTI Studio, emphasizes creating collaborative work cultures where people feel valued rather than having to prove their worth. Their experiences highlight that being a woman in design means choosing visibility over safety and defining success through personal values rather than traditional paths.
Curation of Curations is a website by Sulaimaan Durrani that gathers high-quality design inspiration videos, documentaries, interviews, and talks into one dark-mode destination, free of algorithmic noise. The site features carefully selected content from sources like Google Design, Apple, and Vox, focusing on quality over quantity with videos that require attention rather than passive consumption. It serves as an antidote to creative fatigue by providing designers with curated content worth watching, organized like a cinema lobby with thoughtful editorial judgment.
Many software products are built like the Winchester Mystery House—features added without a coherent plan—because teams ship in silos without designing the overall user journey first. Companies need a “blueprint” approach to design that maps how users move through systems and how components connect, especially with AI accelerating development, or they risk creating fast but fragmented experiences that drive customers away.
