I know at LEAST a few people on Bluesky are in the 60-Person Somerville Polycule, and I very much want to hear all about it

It's endearing how the Boston NPR station is currently earnestly explaining how a 60-person Somerville polycule works

A company called "Frontier Valley" has declared it will build a new Network State zone on federal land in Alameda, California.

Below: A "draft" presidential executive order that would have Trump declare a "national security emergency" to permit the project.

PR stunt, or aggressive new phase?
From Frontier Valley Website: Establishing a National Security Innovation Zone on Federal Property in Alameda, California By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States - including 10 U.S.C. § 113; 10 U.S.C. § 2667; 40 U.S.C. § 521; 42 U.S.C. § 4332; 50 U.S.C. § 4531 et seq.; and 16 U.S.C. § 1536 - I hereby order as follows: Section 1. Policy and Findings (a) National Security Urgency. Intelligence assessments confirm that adversary advances in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, emerging energy technologies, and advanced manufacturing capabilities threaten United States technological and military superiority. (b) Need for Rapid Capability Build-Out. Unless operational development space is activated within 24 months, the Nation will lack capacity to field countervailing systems on required deterrence timelines. (c) Site Suitability. The 512-acre former Naval Air Station Alameda ("Alameda Point Parcel") is the only available federal property that offers the unique combination of contiguous paved surfaces, deep-water frontage, secure-perimeter potential, existing infrastructure, and immediate availability in proximity to the world's densest concentration of AI, technical, and entrepreneurial talent. Sec. 2. Declaration of National Security Emergency A national emergency exists with respect to domestic capacity for next-generation compute paradigms, autonomous humanoid and swarm robotics, next-generation energy paradigms, quantum computing, AI-driven advanced manufacturing, strategic advanced materials, and other critical technologies essential to maintaining technological superiority. All executive departments and agencies shall act consistent with this order to remove delay.

is there a Crunchbase that’s just for startups that are also polycules?

in 2026, how many startups are literally just polycules now?
scarnecchia.net Scoiattolo @scarnecchia.net · 27d
You know at this scale they’ve gotta be an AI startup / effective altruism cult and thus have definitely closed a round recently

Time to take a big drink of water and open crunchbase to see how much funding they burned through.

(To save you the monitor wash: $294m by series f)

For the record, I can't find any reference to this company on CrunchBase or other databases. This seems to be more of a press release than a company.

oh my god now there's a "future of prison" startup that says it will use AI and brain implants to plant fake memories into the brains of criminals, "rehabilitating" them in minutes instead of years and I am going to spend the rest of the day screaming now

Just deleted my last post showing some game funding related data.

The graph was from Crunchbase. After I posted it, I went to their main website just to see it was filled with AI, top to bottom.

I don't trust any data that comes from A.I., neither should you.

I'm sorry I've posted that.

every single time you see some dumbfuck Silicon Valley “founder” post something about government waste, go check out their crunchbase portfolio on the $ they took in across companies under their wing & see how many still exist, let alone went revenue neutral

every accusation is a jealous confession
caylen.bsky.social caylen @caylen.bsky.social · Feb 6
the thing you need to understand about A16 and the rest of that particular cachet of VCs is that they have been wildly, wildly unprofitable for over a decade at the product level & racing towards a technofascist government they influence is their only hail mary to keeping their investors going

okay, but hugging face is a startup in series d funding stage, whatever the fuck that means. also, the three founders have seed investments in at least one other ai company each, not all of which seem to have any public benefit.

y'all know crunchbase is a website that anyone can use right?

cool.
