Who ya gonna call? If you have a Rivian...yourself!
Rivian's 2026 Halloween update is the kind of thing we'll likely see more of, as more ambitious changes to touchscreens and car UIs appear within standard and autonomous vehicles, and as they increasingly adopt more AI assistants.

@colossal is trying to bring back the dodo and the woolly mammoth...but why not dinosaurs? At this year’s Disrupt, @dominicmadori found out why directly from Founder @benlamm and even discovered why we’re to blame for them getting asked about making Pokemon. Seriously.

In today’s market, no single metric defines what a Series A is, or how to raise one. At this year’s TechCrunch Disrupt, three investors offered founders advice on raising one, and one of them tacked on a warning. With money pouring into AI and revenue numbers being inflated to justify sky-high valuations, a correction could come as soon as 2027.
The warning came from Shailendra Singh, a managing director at Peak XV, who spoke alongside Jahanvi Sardana, a partner at Index Ventures, and Janelle Teng Wade, a partner at Bessemer. “Seed and venture, I’ve never seen it as dysfunctional as it is now,” Singh said, adding that the current market is one of the hardest to raise in that he has seen.

We might finally be getting genetically engineered war dogs! A new company just launched with the idea to clone and engineer dogs suited for military and law enforcement use, equipped with advanced military gear. It’s already raised $200 million at a $1.2 billion and the new dog species is expected to emerge from incubation early next year.
When reached for comment, the American Humane Society said, “We applaud Warhound and Colossal for inviting the country’s first national humane organization, which is grounded in science and ethics, to have a seat at the table. We look forward to working with them to help ensure the animals in their care are treated humanely.”
I need everyone’s thoughts in this in the comments and read the full story at TechCrunch.com

What's it actually like to be at Disrupt? @_baukunst's co-founder @kate__mcandrew explored the show floor and discovered a wealth of companies to meet with, a tour of the globe's innovators, and most of all, a reminder that the community made there goes far beyond what can be discovered via a screen.

Congrats to Intero Biosystems, this year’s Startup Battlefield 200 victor!
They’re developing lab-grown tissue that mimics our digestive system, to study how drugs and compounds effect our bodies…before they effect our bodies.

Crowdfunding isn’t Plan B anymore.
@everette says the old stigma that @Kickstarter is only for founders who couldn’t raise VC is disappearing as major brands, creators and established companies increasingly turn to the platform.
On the latest Build Mode, the Kickstarter CEO explains why crowdfunding deserves a place in more founders’ funding strategies.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump and top AI leaders announced a signed pledge called a “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities” — a voluntary promise to implement more controls and safety measures as the rapid development of artificial intelligence continues.
But there seems to be a catch — namely that the “United States” was misspelled as “Unites States” in a photo of the signed agreement the President shared to Truth Social
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used a “State of the Force” address on Wednesday to launch a new effort to study how war may be fought as tech advances rapidly. It’s being called Project Meridian.
Elon Musk, Anduril founder Palmer Luckey, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will co-lead the project. They’ll be joined by others from fields such as academia and policy, all working under the direction of Defense Department CTO Emil Michael. Their job is to “study the battlefields of the future” and the “weapons and technologies warfighters” may use on them, said Hegseth in a letter announcing the project.

Kickstarter CEO @everette says founders should think carefully about what they’re giving up when they take venture capital — because ownership and creative independence have value, too.
On the latest Build Mode, we’re talking crowdfunding, alternative funding and how founders can build without immediately giving up equity.

Taking a big check might have made building FarmboxRx easier but Ashley Tyrner-Dolce says it also could have changed the decisions she was able to make.
On Build Mode, Ashley explains why staying bootstrapped gave her the control to make tough calls while breaking into the highly regulated healthcare industry.

When Synthesiaio asked TechCrunch reporter Dominic-Madori Davis if she wanted to make a digital twin, she didn’t hesitate.
The AI video company created two versions of Dominic: an interactive digital twin you can talk to on TechCrunch’s website, and a personal avatar that can recite scripts in her voice. Aside from its own press officer, Dominic is the first journalist Synthesia has turned into a digital avatar.
The experiment raised a much bigger question: What happens to human-facing jobs when you can send an AI version of yourself instead?

Founders: don’t rush to outsource sales.
FarmboxRx founder Ashley Tyrner-Dolce learned firsthand that sometimes customers need to hear directly from the person building the company.
