The DOJ is deep into an antitrust probe of Andreessen Horowitz over board seats in competing AI companies — Ben Horowitz at Databricks and Martin Casado at Fivetran named as examples — and the probe may force VC governance changes that reshape term sheets for anyone raising now. PostHog published a deep dive on building a semantic layer to fix the problem of AI agents returning different metric answers to the same question; it sits on top of existing warehouses without data copying and encodes definitions, trusted tables, and join logic. Cloudflare quietly shipped Bot Preference Sync across all plans, automatically writing AI crawler policies into robots.txt so that stated preferences actually match enforcement rules. Notion&rsquo;s survey of 6,000 professionals found 88% still using AI superficially while the company also shipped a TypeScript workspace API for git-versioned, reproducible setups.
