Communication channels: The new hunting grounds for attackers
THE SO WHAT
Attackers are following work into Zoom, Slack, and Teams — the control plane is shifting from servers to conversations. CISOs need to treat comms platforms as high-value assets, with DLP, identity, and anomaly detection tuned to human channels, not just network edges.

Deep & Emerging TechA YC startup is putting $1M behind five unsolved materials science problems for AI
Putting $200,000 bounties on specific materials problems is a shift from generic “AI for science” to targeted, prize-driven discovery. If you’re in deep tech, assume more of your hardest questions will be externalized to AI-heavy solver networks—your edge becomes data access and integration, not just in-house PhDs.
Deep & Emerging TechFinding New Drugs Is Laborious. This AI Startup Is Skipping The Lab Work
Training drug-discovery models on synthetic biochemical data is a bet that simulation can outrun wet-lab bottlenecks. If you’re in pharma or tools, you need a view on where simulated priors end and empirical validation begins—or you’ll either over-index on pretty in silico results or miss a cost collapse in early-stage R&D.
Deep & Emerging TechAMD expects to outsell Intel for the first time after a record quarter
AMD forecasting $17B and potentially outgrowing Intel in a quarter—on the back of a near-doubling data center business and a 40% gaming drop—shows how violently spend is rotating into AI and server silicon. If you’re capacity-constrained on GPUs or CPUs, your vendor and SKU mix is now a strategic decision, not a procurement detail.
Deep & Emerging TechUS voters rejected AI data centres in 40 of 41 ballot measures
Local permitting just became a primary constraint on AI scale — 40 of 41 anti–data center measures passing means power and land are now political, not just financial. If your roadmap assumes cheap, frictionless US compute, start mapping alternative regions and hybrid strategies.
