Welcome to
<strong>
TechCrunch AM!
</strong>
This morning, we’ve got details of Meta’s attempts to poach OpenAI staff; a startup that wants to help founders become billionaires; and the “legendary party that never happened.” We’ve also got notes on AI in the DOD; American EVs topping charts; Tumblr’s AI moderation chaos; Gemini’s Pokemon panic, and more. Let’s go!

1. Swing and a miss:
</strong>
Sam Altman claims Mark Zuckerberg has been trying to poach OpenAI engineers to Meta’s new superintelligence team with “$100 million signing bonuses” and other insane compensation. But Altman said the recruiting push hasn’t had much success.

2. Widening the gap:
</strong>
AI has created the opportunity for single-person, billion-dollar companies. Birk Jernström, CEO of Polar, wants to help developers reach that coveted status with a payment infrastructure platform. The startup just raised a $10 million seed round led by Accel.

3. Party’s over:
</strong>
Cluely founder Roy Lee, whose “cheat at everything startup” seems to be centered around rage-bait and banter, promoted a satirical after-party during YC’s AI Startup School. It drew a crowd so massive, the police had to shut it down before the party even began.

🦅 Uncle Sam wants AI:
</strong>
OpenAI has landed a DOD contract worth up to $200 million to prototype systems for its AI models employed in everything from healthcare to cyber defense. OpenAI is trying to say that use cases will align with its guidelines, but the government isn’t beating around the bush. This is for “critical national security challenges,” per the DOD.

🔋 EVs FTW:
</strong>
Tesla dominated the top four spots on Cars.com’s 2025 American-Made Index. That’s not new or surprising, but what’s interesting is that EVs took six of the top 10 spots in the index. The Kia EV6 and Volkswagen ID.4 accompanied Tesla’s cars on the list.

Tumblr is the latest platform to face chaos as a result of using AI for moderation. A wave of users are complaining that the site is mislabeling innocent content, like art, cat GIFs, and even hands, as “mature,” reducing visibility and sparking confusion.

Grifin is an investment app that automatically purchases stocks in brands that users regularly buy. It’s an attempt to make investing less intimidating to its female user base, and the company is gaining traction. So far the app has surpassed 500,000 users and secured a $11 million Series A round.
