Il Giornale embarking on a new project involving journalists all over the world. A relief to see an outlet starting something fresh. Too many places closing down or laying off staff. Anyway here's one of my articles on the new website for Inside Over https://t.co/bq9HJLedS2

-> 🏭 Maneva has raised $27M in Series A funding led by USVP to bring AI-powered operational intelligence to manufacturing.

The company transforms existing factory cameras into real-time AI systems that can detect issues, identify root causes, and trigger corrective actions, without requiring expensive hardware upgrades.

Maneva is targeting a massive opportunity: manufacturing facilities often operate at just ~60% Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), contributing to an estimated $1.4T in annual losses from unplanned downtime across the industry.

-> 🤖 Maneva is building what could become the operating layer for modern factories.

Its AI platform uses computer vision and proprietary models to:

• Detect downtime risks before failures occur
• Identify production bottlenecks in real time
• Improve quality control with up to 99.9% defect detection accuracy
• Enhance workplace safety and compliance
• Automate operational decisions using existing infrastructure
Already deployed across industries including food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, steel, glass, cosmetics, and manufacturing, Maneva is betting that Physical AI will become a core technology for the $46T+ global manufacturing economy. 🏭⚡

Maneva has raised $27M in Series A led by @USVenturePartners, with continued backing from existing investors @BlingCapital, @FreestyleCapital, and several others. Our total capital raised now sits at $38.4M.

Global manufacturing runs at 60% efficiency against a $46T industry. That's $18T lost every year from lack of visibility and the right tools.

Our Video-to-Action AI turns existing factory cameras into real-time operational decisions, powered by deep learning vision and agentic systems that act, coordinate, and optimize the entire operation.

A special thank you to @mdgarratt and the @USVenturePartners team for leading this round. To our customers, partners, and investors: thank you for believing in what's possible on the factory floor.

Trevor Dietz.

We are utterly heartbroken to let you know that on Sunday June 7th we lost our dear friend and manager Trevor.

Trevor was beside us from the beginning of our journey as a band, we have never known Fontaines D.C. without him, the sixth member of the band.

[Robert Scoble @Scobleizer]

Manufacturing might not be sexy. It might not get hits.

But I loved talking to @raechanjeong, founder of https://t.co/CUrT5Ro2Lx about how AI is changing manufacturing.

He used to work in AI research at Google Deepmind, but now works with bringing AI into factories.

One thing I came away with?

His attitude. He doesn't come across as a Silicon Valley nerd that is gonna push technology down people's throats.

It's how you gain trust with people who don't know what an OpenClaw is.

As always, if you don't have time to watch an hour conversation I'll post a link to what Grok learned by watching this.

It's fitting that AI is now my first viewer (it watches the video as I upload it).

Making AI music videos with @neuralframes.

Get behind the scenes of the leading AI music video platform with its founder @nicolaiklemke.

[Nicolai Klemke @nicolaiklemke]

I've had the immense pleasure to be on @Scobleizer's Unaligned podcast. It was a lot of fun. Robert obviously knows the space extremely well and asked amazing questions. He even gave me the chance to demo our AI music video generator.

We live in exciting times. Audio supply is going through the roof, and we're here to visualize all of it! Robert is someone who truly gets it.

Thanks a lot @Scobleizer!

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

[Jonathan Baran @JHBaran]

I was laid off from The Post today, from a dream job working in visual investigations. I'm sad for affected colleagues and for the meaningful, impactful work we won't be able to complete together. But also...I'm stunned. Angry even.

January alone I investigated 2 fatal shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis and feel compelled to keep going. If you want to collaborate, please DM or signal.

#journorequest I'm hoping to speak to an Iranian journalist based in the UK who can talk about how the Iranian state is targeting journalists residing overseas through their family and friends in Iran for an article for City News. This would involve anonymity if requested.

[SlicedBrand @slicedbrand]

Silence is not an option. @newsweek features @ShahrzadRafati, Founder and CEO @HeyRHEI, in a powerful piece addressing the urgency of the Iranian people’s fight for freedom: https://t.co/GIJM4AAoDG

[Sonal Nain @SonalNain4]

spoke with Iranians abroad about how they’re experiencing and responding to the crisis in Iran.

some powerful reactions and strong opinions!
