靠它拿下了亚马逊的Offer。

开发一款作弊AI工具,虽然被哥大停学,但是收获了530万美元融资了呀!


21岁小哥(称他为小李)这则公布了喜讯,他们几天前就巧妙地获得了来自机构Abstract Ventures和Susa Ventures提供的种子资金。


主要做的事呢,提供一种可以欺骗一切的AI工具。
就像他们po出一个演示:
小李约会时用AI助手帮他跟女士对话,针对每位女士回答AI会及时给出的建议。


网友表示:好一个《黑镜》既视感。


当然,这样的开发理念立刻引发了一些争议:你们是否考虑到它的后续影响?



在开发这个工具后不久,哥大官方就给他们记了处分。现在他们的创始人已经从哥大退学,正式开始创业。
哥大学生开发「一切为作弊」工具
这个工具最初名为Interview Coder,它通过一个隐藏的浏览器窗口(面试官或者出题人是看不到的),为用户提供在考试、销售电话和面试面试等方面“作弊”的机会。


本月初,这款 AI 工具的 ARR 已经超过 300 万美元。
捐赠这个工具本来就是面向开发人员的场景,让他们可以再LeetCode上面作弊。华人小哥表示利用这个工具他还成功获得了亚马逊的实习机会。当时他还发了个视频,结果迅速走红,然后因亚马逊的版权声明而被删除。


根据他的描述,他最终收到了亚马逊、Meta、TikTok和Capital One的录用通知。
在过去的两年多里,小李花费了600个小时进行练习,在全球Leetcoder竞技选手中排名前2%。
当时他谈到 Leetcode 的面试问题,称它们基本上“毫无用处,简单标准不好,相关性差,只是浪费了大多数开发人员的时间”。
基于这样的痛点,才决定开发这样一个作弊工具。
目前公司创始人有他们,小哥Chungin Lee和他的同学Neel Shanmugam。
小哥出任首席执行官,而尼尔·尚穆根目前出任Cluely的首席运营官。


在此之前,他们正因为开发这个工具而被学校纪律处分,大概进行了为期数周的面谈干预。然后小哥被停学了一年。


他们最终决定退学。
好笑的是,小李在LinkedIn上写了「因为太帅+太受欢迎」,所以被哥大退学了。


还得是年轻人啊!
还有一件事
争论最多的公司还不止这家。
Mechanize,其Tamay Besiroglu曾参与专辑Epoch AI,曾在麻省理工学院全职当研究科学家,他表示这家创始人公司的目标是“实现所有工作的完全自动化”和“经济的完全自动化”。


这意思是他们正在努力用AI代理机器人取代所有人类员工?!虽然他们现在还在积极招员工。
结果遭到了网友们的质疑。


对于这些有争议的公司,你怎么看?

Bitwise CIO: STRC Plunge is a Bottom Signal, Bull Market to Begin in Autumn

Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, explains the recent Bitcoin price drop below $60,000 and its connection to the steep decline in MicroStrategy's STRC (Strategy's Perpetual Preferred Stock). STRC, designed as a high-yield, stable-price instrument, fell from its $100 target to $75 due to market fears over MicroStrategy's ability to sustain its dividend amid Bitcoin's price weakness. Hougan clarifies that while MicroStrategy's overall financial position remains strong, with significant Bitcoin holdings and cash, the core market anxiety centered on the optional nature of the dividend payments. In response, MicroStrategy announced a new operational framework: it will sell some Bitcoin as needed to fund dividends, will no longer actively defend the $100 share price through dividend hikes, and may repurchase STRC on the open market. This shift marks a change in MicroStrategy's role from a consistent, one-way buyer of Bitcoin to a more dynamic participant that may both buy and sell. According to Hougan, the STRC volatility is a classic late-cycle event, signaling the painful but necessary process of flushing out excessive leverage from the market. He draws parallels to the unwinding of the GBTC premium in the previous cycle. He identifies key potential bottoming signals: MSTR trading at a discount to its net asset value (NAV), extreme readings on the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, and persistently negative Bitcoin funding rates. Hougan concludes that while the exact timing of the market bottom is unpredictable, the current deleveraging phase suggests it is near. He expresses confidence that a new bull market will begin in the fall of this year, with the next major wave of buying expected to come from institutional investors like banks, asset managers, and pension funds.

ENS Founder Seeks to 'Seize Power' from DAO

On June 29th, the ENS community entered the on-chain voting phase for a proposal to renew the ENS DAO Security Council's veto power for two more years. Shortly after voting began, ENS founder Nick Johnson used his substantial ENS holdings to cast over 3.55 million votes against the proposal, swinging the outcome despite initial strong support. The Security Council was established in July 2024 with a 4/8 multisig veto power to protect the DAO's treasury (valued over $350 million) from malicious proposals during a period of low voter participation. Its powers were limited to vetoing only harmful proposals, not normal ones. Nick Johnson's opposition stems from broader concerns about ENS DAO's governance. In late 2025, he and others expressed frustration that the DAO had become mired in political gamesmanship, with capable contributors leaving and leadership falling to less experienced or misaligned parties. This context set the stage for a major restructuring proposal by ENS COO Katherine Wu on June 19th, titled "Next Era of ENS DAO: Empowering the ENS Foundation." The controversial proposal aims to transfer daily operations, treasury management, and long-term strategy to a restructured ENS Foundation with a professional board, while the DAO would retain core protocol governance powers. Critics, including original ENS constitution author Brantly Millegan, argue this effectively transfers treasury control from token holders to ENS Labs (the core development team), undermining the DAO's original decentralized design. Nick's massive "no" vote on the Security Council renewal is seen as the first move in this power struggle. He explained his vote was due to concerns about insufficient checks on the Council's power and the potential for its veto to be used politically. In response, Katherine Wu submitted a revised proposal with higher execution thresholds (5/8 instead of 4/8) and stricter limits. The push for change comes as ENS's annual revenue has declined significantly, from over $10 million in 2023 to under $2 million in 2025, increasing pressure to manage the treasury more effectively. Nick Johnson now faces the challenge of proving that a more structured foundation can steer ENS better than the current DAO model.
