Every day, the internet feels less human. AI, bots, and deepfakes are making it harder to know who or what is real. VeryAI was born to solve that. Today, I’m excited to share that we’ve raised $10M to build the first Proof of Reality for the new internet. ↓

What if the internet isn’t what it used to be or what we think it is at all? The Dead Internet Theory suggests that most of what we see online today, from viral posts to entire discussions, might not even be real. Bots, AI content farms, and government controlled algorithms could be running the digital show, creating the illusion of a living, breathing internet when in reality, it’s a carefully curated simulation designed to shape public opinion and behavior.

I’m beyond excited to finally announce Internet Backyard We’ve raised $4.5M pre-seed to build the financial backbone of the global compute economy, starting with billing for data centers. Every day, $1.2B flows into compute, almost entirely debt-financed. AI is surpassing every growth curve we’ve seen: training runs heading toward $1B each, global capacity set to triple, trillions in capex already committed. And yet the financial rails underneath it all are still running on spreadsheets.

▌Do you know what you are competing against? Hundreds and thousands of AI bot accounts at massive scale. The bots own the internet. Watch just 2 minutes to understand what the new business landscape looks like with AI. “The internet in my mind is already dead.” — Cody Schneider

Hey builders! The year is 2026 and the Internet is f*cked! No exaggeration. All parties in the trust ecosystem must collaborate quickly because the race to save the Internet is not moving as fast as the race to conquer it. Although it was founded on the premise of human trust and communication between machines, it is now overrun by bots and non human actors working with more than half of Internet traffic now coming from these non human actors. The challenge that we now face is creating a global, interoperable framework of accountability so we can return trust to the Internet that we know and love, we can continue to enjoy the benefits that AI unlocks, and we can do so in a legally permissible, secure manner that does not endanger individual users, but rather opens new doors of efficiency and opportunity for them. However, there is a narrowing window for action. This is one of the most urgent challenges that faces technology at scale today. All parties in the trust ecosystem, nation states, platforms, developers, legal parties all must collaborate quickly because the race to save the Internet is not moving as fast as the race to conquer it - with unverifiable data and non human actors. — Billions Network CEO Evin McMullen evin

Today we're announcing the new Opal to build the operating system for attention. 1 million people already use Opal every single day. We raised $10M. Personal AGI is coming. The bottleneck won't be access to intelligence. It will be attention.

Circle was founded on a simple idea: money should move more like information on the internet. As Jeremy Allaire - jerallaire.arc puts it, the goal was to build “a protocol for dollars on the internet,” one that allows value to move over open networks at the speed of the internet. For banks, that vision is becoming a strategic question: → Stablecoins are becoming infrastructure → AI is accelerating the shift → Payments, FX, and settlement are moving toward always-on systems

I'm sick of questioning what's real. As someone who works with artificial intelligence every day, I feel like I see something most people miss. AI is more than just a way to cheat on homework, or to learn new things. Its an extremely powerful tool that will irreversibly change our society. We will look fondly back on these days as the days before the internet died. Last year, I was searching for people to discuss business/startup stuff with. I began joining discords, slack channels, instagram group chats. What I soon found out that the people on these platforms were not the people who I thought they were. Some were scammers from the other side of the globe using AI to disguise themselves, others were completely autonomous ai agents. It made me realize something. The old internet is DEAD. And so, I started Humanet. Yes it's crude, yes it's amateur, yes its in testing. But pretty soon it'll be the only place were you can talk to another human. On Humanet, you get ONE account. For your whole life. Thats it. We use KYC technology to ensure that every person is restricted to only a singular sign up. What's more is you are only allowed to post pictures that were taken using the Humanet app. That means every time you see a piece of art, you know it was painted with someone's sweat and tears. That means every time you see a cute cat video, or someone doing a trick, or people helping a person in need, you know that it is real. Although it feels like the old internet is dead, through Humanet I think it's possible for us to get back. If you're interested in being among the first to try Humanet, sign up for our waitlist at #startup #techstartup #ycombinator #startupfounder #ai #ArtificialInteligence #chatgpt #Veo3 #deadinternet #MachineLearning

When you listen to both the Head of State and the so-called united opposition, it feels like they are detached from the reality Kenyans face every day. That is the real tragedy.

For most of history, expertise was scarce, constrained by time and reach: one person, one career, one lifetime. Now, for the first time, we can encode, evaluate, and scale it. We believe the wisdom that once took a lifetime to build shouldn’t take a lifetime to find. Today, we’re excited to announce that AfterQuery has raised a $30M Series A at a $300M valuation and that we’ve since surpassed $100M in annual revenue run rate, to build the data layer of professional AI.

The rise of AI technology and deepfakes pose a large risk to the financial services industry. The tipping point for Indian financial services businesses was when onboarding became completely digital, thanks to Aadhaar, etc. For businesses onboarding a new customer, an important aspect is ensuring that the documents and the person opening the account are real. The normal process that's followed today is to fetch the ID or address proof data from the source using Digilocker and or Aadhaar. Also, match the face from this ID proof with the person opening the account through a webcam. Today, we have a bunch of checks in place to check for liveliness and if the other person is real or not. But as the deepfakes improve, I think it will only become harder over time to validate if the person on the other side is real or AI-generated. This problem will be bigger for banks that have more stringent regulatory requirements during onboarding. It will be interesting to see how the regulations around this evolve. Going back to the physical way of opening accounts will bring the growth of the entire sector to an abrupt stop. And the video isn’t me; it is a deep fake. 😬
