This story has Apple + $2B acquisition + AI

...how is this not at the top of the page?

It's pretty crazy it's Apple's second-largest acquisition ever but it's kinda boring so nobody cares. Of course, Beats was a household name and founded by Dre... a much more accessible story

TBF this ‘startup’ has a somewhat vague product. I read the article and couldn’t come up with a reason for the $2B valuation, what are we missing here?

I think the potential applications in military-grade spyware explain the valuation.

Oh, you mean what are we missing as far as this software meriting that valuation for consumer-friendly uses?
