PlayerZero raises $15M to prevent AI agents from shipping buggy code

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-12-23 06:00:00

As Silicon Valley races toward a future where AI agents do most of the software programming, a new problem is created: finding the AI-generated bugs before they are put into production. Even OpenAI is dealing with such issues, a former employee has described. Newly funded startup PlayerZero has created a solution: use AI agents trained to find and fix problems before the code is put into production, the startup’s CEO and sole founder, Animesh Koratana, tells TechCrunch.

Stanford's holographic AI glasses are coming for your clunky VR headset

zdnet.com David Gewirtz 2025-12-23 16:26:17

Over the past couple of years, with the introduction of the Apple Vision Pro and the Meta Quest 3, I've become a believer in the potential of mixed reality. First, and this was a big concern for me, it's possible to use VR headsets without barfing. Second, some of the applications are truly amazing, especially the entertainment. While the ability to watch a movie on a giant screen is awesome, the fully immersive 3D experiences on the Vision Pro are really quite compelling. In this article, I'm

Our $100M Series B

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-23 21:17:28

We don’t want to bury the lede: we have raised a $100M Series B, led by a new strategic partner in USIT with participation from all existing Oxide investors. To put that number in perspective: over the nearly six year lifetime of the company, we have raised $89M; our $100M Series B more than doubles our total capital raised to date — and positions us to make Oxide the generational company that we have always aspired it to be.

LG’s StanbyMe 2 is an unquestionably cool TV at a questionably high price

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-12-25 06:47:00

LG’s StanbyMe 2 has all the ingredients of a good follow-up gadget: the display is 1440p instead of 1080p, and instead of being trapped on its rollable stand, the screen is detachable for you to use wherever and however you want. It can hang on the wall if you buy a compatible strap, or you can rest it on its included folio cover, much like you would a tablet. It also has more ports beyond the one HDMI port and one USB-A port in the original model. You’ll get USB-C for connecting laptops, too. I

Qi2 Wireless Charging: Everything You Need to Know (2025)

It’s ironic, but we here at WIRED have long been wireless charging fans. Not having to fumble with cables is nice! Most wireless charging devices these days follow the Qi (pronounced chee) standard, which has taken its time reaching ubiquity. (The user experience has not always been great.)

Google Assistant Is Basically on Life Support and Things Just Got Worse

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-29 06:55:11

Voice assistants are… not perfect. That’s me being nice. But if I were to cease being nice, I’d probably say something more like “voice assistants suck,” and I think most would agree I’d be justified in saying so. While no voice assistant really manages to escape that criticism, I usually opt for Google Assistant, which—in my experience—is the least sucky. Or it used to be, but after some recent hiccups, I may have to start rethinking that dishonorable distinction. Last week, Google Assistant u

Intel’s Steady Decline Continues With 15% Cut to Staff and Scrapped Factory Plans

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan told employees in a staff-wide memo yesterday that the company plans to cut its workforce by roughly 15%—more than 25,000 jobs—aiming to end the year with about 75,000 employees worldwide. The cuts are part of the struggling chipmaker’s efforts to turn things around and compete in the booming AI market.
