Landa promised real estate investing for $5. Now it’s gone dark.

The idea of becoming a real estate investor for as little as $5 may seem too good to be true. And for many users of Landa, a proptech company that promised just that — it has been. Landa emerged from stealth in August 2022, announcing a total of $33 million in funding and a pledge […]The idea of becoming a real estate investor for as little as $5 may seem too good to be true.

Online chat rooms and social networking platforms frequently experience harmful behavior as discussions drift from their intended topics toward personal conflict. Traditional predictive models typically depend on platform-specific data, limiting their applicability and increasing implementation costs.Online chat rooms and social networking platforms frequently experience harmful behavior as discussions drift from their intended topics toward personal conflict.

At TechCrunch Sessions: AI, Artemis Seaford and Ion Stoica confront the ethical crisis — when AI crosses the line

As generative AI becomes faster, cheaper, and more convincing, the ethical stakes are no longer theoretical. What happens when the tools to deceive become widely accessible? And how do we build systems that are powerful — but safe enough to trust? At TechCrunch Sessions: AI, taking place June 5 at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall, Artemis […]As generative AI becomes faster, cheaper, and more convincing, the ethical stakes are no longer theoretical.

Founders First: Iliana Quinonez of Google Cloud on AI agents, infrastructure, and democratization at TechCrunch Sessions: AI

In the startup world, access to cutting-edge tools isn’t the biggest obstacle — it’s knowing how to wield them with precision. At TechCrunch Sessions: AI, taking place on June 5 at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall, we’re digging into the frameworks and decisions that determine whether an AI startup can scale — or stall. We’re excited […]In the startup world, access to cutting-edge tools isn’t the biggest obstacle — it’s knowing how to wield them with precision.

On Dec. 21, 2022, just as peak holiday season travel was getting underway, Southwest Airlines went through a cascading series of failures in their scheduling, initially triggered by severe winter weather in the Denver area. But the problems spread through their network, and over the course of the next 10 days the crisis ended up stranding more than 2 million passengers and causing losses of $750 million for the airline.On Dec. 21, 2022, just as peak holiday season travel was getting underway, Southwest Airlines went through a cascading series of failures in their scheduling, initially triggered by severe winter weather in the Denver area.
