BREAKING: France just voted to tax the internet. French lawmakers approved a tax of €0.055 (5.5 cents) for every gigabyte of data that companies like Netflix and YouTube send to French users. It’s a tax on the companies, not users directly, but the cost could get passed on to subscribers. The vote was 11 to 10, with only 35 of 577 lawmakers present. Supporters say it could raise up to €10 billion a year. The French government opposed it, warning it would hit smaller French companies hardest; VLC says it would cost it over €1 million a year.

This is the most insane demo I’ve seen. Subvocal YC F26 lets you speak completely silently and reads the minute movements of your face. So you can talk to your AI anytime. AI + sensors is magic. What’s crazier is they built this in 4 months. This demo was live yesterday evening at the YC office.

BREAKING: Instinct is reportedly raising at an INSANE ~$30B valuation, less than a year after launching! That would triple the $10B valuation from its $1B Series C just last month. The ramp has been WILD: 🚀 ~$100M at its first round 🚀 $500M with Kleiner Perkins 🚀 $2.5B with Index and Benchmark 🚀 $10B with Sequoia, Benchmark and Coatue 🚀 ~$30B now Founded by 23-year-old Noah Shinn (ex-Sierra), Instinct is a personal AI agent that runs errands for you over text and calls. It's still invite-only and free, yet Shinn says close to $1B a year already flows through it. The fastest valuation ramp of 2026?

I’ve left Anthropic after more than a year of working on Claude Code and seeing it scale larger than I ever imagined. I have really loved working at Ant and believe deeply in the mission, and most of all, the idea of a race to the top. The idea that if we work hard and responsibly, we can raise the bar and inspire others to great outcomes. And if we all push each other to be better, things can be radically good. I will carry the spirit of this with me forever. My colleagues at Anthropic are the most talented, thoughtful, competent, and earnest people I have ever met. I am glad they are at the wheel and trust them deeply. To the community on X, thank you for everything. You’ve made this the most fun (and sometimes stressful) job I’ve ever had. For me, it is time for a bit of a break before diving into something new. If you want more excellent Claude Code content, you should follow @addyosmani , @lydiahallie, @_catwu, @ClaudeDevs and of course @bcherny who started it all.

“You Can See Everything” will triumph at the 2027 #Oscars, writes Variety’s film critic Owen Gleiberman: “Like ‘Pulp Fiction,’ this movie seems to be doing nothing less than reinventing what a movie can be. It’s an ecstatic disruption and an adventure of the spirit. Something we haven’t seen before. The reason it can triumph at the Oscars is that anyone who votes for it won’t just be voting for best picture — it’ll be voting for the future.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lHYMX
