How soon can I get a computer-brain implant?

You might be glad to know today was not all about OpenAI. Instead, we took on a bunch of news from the weekend that had to do with other companies:

• It’s a big earnings week for software companies, which means we’re about to get a bushel of information on how things are shaping up for SaaS startups in the latter half of 2023.
• On the crypto front, price movements have slowed as the industry digests the recent Binance verdict.
• Neuralink has raised more capital, which is great news for nerds like myself.
• Gaming layoffs are still coming in hot and heavy, adding to a long list of cuts this year.
• In the wake of a massive shopping weekend, how did e-commerce hold up? Here’s data from the U.S., and from around the world.
• China-linked groups are coming for your industrial secrets, and Meta is again in regulatory hot water.

And that’s that! We'll be back on Wednesday, but keep up with us in the meantime @EquityPod.
