Vanishing Websites, Figma’s Billion-Dollar Breakup, Bulletproof Superwood, UK News Censorship, Joby-L3Harris Hybrid VTOL
Introduction:
In this episode, we explore five compelling stories shaping technology and society today. First, a startling Pew Research Center report reveals that 38% of websites from 2013 have disappeared, a digital extinction accelerated by AI-driven search engines. Next, we dive into the remarkable journey of Figma’s CEO Dylan Field, whose design startup soared to a billion-dollar valuation after regulators blocked Adobe’s $20 billion acquisition bid, forcing a $1 billion breakup fee that propelled Figma into the spotlight. We then examine InventWood’s breakthrough invention, “Superwood,” a timber stronger than steel and bullet-resistant, poised to transform construction with sustainable innovation. The discussion moves to the UK’s Online Safety Act, which has led platforms like X to restrict news about the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts—even for adult users—raising questions about censorship and free speech. Finally, we highlight the partnership between air taxi maker Joby Aviation and defense company L3Harris to develop a hybrid autonomous aircraft designed to replace the $30 million Apache helicopter, marking a new frontier in military aviation.
