Spotify CEO Invests in AI Defense Company

Jason Tate

TechCrunch:

The billionaire, who primarily lives in Stockholm, just led a €600 million investment in Helsing, a 4-year-old, Munich-based defense tech company that is now valued at €12 billion, as first reported by the Financial Times and confirmed separately by TechCrunch. The deal makes it one of Europe’s most valuable privately held companies; it also highlights Europe’s scramble to build its own military muscle as the world grows messier and the U.S. turns inward. […] But what started as an AI software company has grown much more ambitious. Helsing is now building its own strike drones and aircraft and said it’s working on a fleet of unmanned mini submarines in order to improve naval surveillance.

I asked this artist about some of his favorite bands in the scene, what makes his music enjoyable for others to vibe with, and much more.

Coldplay Try to “Reclaim” “Speed of Sound”

Coldplay performed “Speed of Sound” live for the first time in years in Texas last night. Before the performance Chris Martin explained the choice:

We made an album 20 years ago which should have been a lot better, and it had a song on it called “Speed Of Sound,” which we never really play. But because we had to wait 15 minutes for the show to start because of the weather and all that, we thought, well, we’ve had such a good time here in El Paso. Why don’t we try to reclaim the song “Speed Of Sound”?
