Investors are betting big on body scans to transform preventive care
Neko Health just raised $700 million to scan bodies for preventive care, and it's not alone. Midjourney is building its own scanner, and Function Health has raised significant capital too. Investors see something here: the chance to catch problems before they become crises. We explore why on this episode of Equity.

Stockholm's AI surge shows how smart tools build real momentum
Lovable just raised $400 million at a $13.3 billion valuation, roughly doubling its worth in eight months. That's not a fluke; it's a signal. Stockholm is minting momentum across sectors, from Legora's legal AI to Neko Health's ambitious care model. On the latest Equity episode, Sophia Bendz joins us to unpack what's fueling this wave. For a grounded counterpoint on where this tech leads us, revisit "Talking to My AI Clone Taught Me to Question the Tech."
Why trust in AI depends on more than a bold vision
Mark Zuckerberg wants us to believe AI will transform our digital lives, but the latest episode of the Equity podcast suggests many of us aren't sold. His vision feels distant, a promise of a future that doesn't yet address the practical, human concerns we face today. We're not rejecting the technology; we're questioning the certainty. If you're curious about the personal side of this, our related piece on talking to an AI clone offers a thoughtful look at the mixed feelings this tech can stir.
When democracy meets data, history offers a better guide than hype.
Jill Lepore has a warning for Silicon Valley: stop treating science fiction like a user manual. On the latest episode of Equity, she argues that misreading the genre, especially the kind of "government by machines" thinking that figures like Elon Musk champion, undermines democracy itself. It's a sharp critique, and one worth sitting with. If you're tired of tech's self-serving narratives, this conversation offers a grounded counterweight.
How AI assistants are reshaping global tech competition without hype
Silicon Valley and Wall Street don't spook easily, yet Moonshot AI's Kimi had them reaching for the panic button. On the latest Equity episode, we unpacked why a Chinese AI model triggered such a visceral reaction across the market. It's a reminder that the global race isn't just about capability, it's about perception and control. For anyone feeling the jitters, this conversation offers clarity.
