AI Founder Plans "March for Billionaires"

A planned "March for Billionaires" in San Francisco, organized in protest of California's proposed wealth tax, is scheduled to take place this Saturday, according to TechCrunch. The event, which has sparked incredulity and debate, is the brainchild of an AI startup founder.

The website advertising the event, which initially appeared to be a hoax, features the tagline: "Vilifying billionaires is popular. Losing them is expensive," according to TechCrunch. The organizer confirmed the march's authenticity after initial skepticism.

In other news, The Washington Post is undergoing a leadership change. Will Lewis is stepping down as CEO following mass layoffs, and Jeff D'Onofrio, former CEO of Tumblr, will step in as acting CEO and publisher, according to The Verge. D'Onofrio has been CFO at the Post since June of last year.

Meanwhile, the upcoming Super Bowl LX is set to feature a heavy dose of artificial intelligence, according to The Verge. AI is expected to be prominent in the commercial breaks, much like crypto was a few years ago. The game, which will see the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots, will also feature a halftime show with Bad Bunny.

In the tech world, Anthropic is showcasing its AI capabilities. According to Ars Technica, Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini published a blog post describing how 16 instances of the company's Claude Opus 4.6 AI model were tasked with building a C compiler from scratch. The project, which involved nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions and cost approximately $20,000 in API fees, reportedly took two weeks to complete.

Finally, The Verge reviewed the second-gen AirTags, calling them a "scatterbrain's best friend." The review highlighted the louder chime and extended range as improvements.
