Critics note that much AI doomer rhetoric originates from the industry itself, and some financial organizations estimate up to 15% of U.S. jobs could be eliminated by AI in coming years. 54 12 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/bumble-is-getting-rid-of-the-swipe-ceo-says-l4c8vnejv "Bumble is getting rid of the swipe, CEO says") Article TechCrunch · 19w Bumble is getting rid of the swipe, CEO says Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd confirmed the company will remove swiping from its app later this year as part of a major overhaul. The move comes after several quarters of declining paid users, which fell 21% to 3.2 million in Q1\. Bumble is expected to lean heavily into AI, including an AI dating assistant called Bee, though it remains unclear whether AI-forward features will resonate with Gen Z users who are increasingly skeptical of overt AI integration. 26 2 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/ouster-s-new-color-lidar-is-coming-to-replace-cameras-zlg0cigyg "Ouster's new color lidar is coming to replace cameras") Article TechCrunch · 19w Ouster's new color lidar is coming to replace cameras Ouster has announced its Rev8 lidar lineup featuring native color lidar, a single sensor that simultaneously captures 3D depth data and high-quality color imagery using SPAD (single photon avalanche diode) technology on a custom chip. CEO Angus Pacala positions this as the 'holy grail' for roboticists, eliminating the need to separately buy and fuse lidar and camera data. The flagship OS1 Max offers 500-meter range and claims to be the industry's best long-range lidar. Ouster collaborated with Fujifilm and DXOMARK to achieve camera-quality specs including 48-bit color and 116 dB dynamic range. Samples have already shipped to customers and orders are now open. Chinese competitor Hesai has also announced a similar color lidar platform targeting mass production by end of 2025. 17 2 4. 4 [](https://daily.dev/posts/ghost-hackers-the-cybersecurity-mystery-that-nobody-has-solved-ecv5u2zlh "Ghost hackers: the cybersecurity mystery that nobody has solved") Article TechCrunch · 16w Ghost hackers: the cybersecurity mystery that nobody has solved A deep dive into the Shadow Brokers, the still-unidentified group that in 2016 stole and publicly dumped NSA hacking tools. Despite being one of the worst intelligence leaks in U.S. history, no one has ever been arrested or charged. The leaked tools included EternalBlue, which was later weaponized in the WannaCry and NotPetya attacks causing an estimated $10 billion in global damages. The leading theory is that the Shadow Brokers were a Russian government operation, but the mystery remains unsolved a decade later. The case underscores the risk to the private sector when intelligence agencies hoard vulnerabilities. 30 1 5. 5 [](https://daily.dev/posts/what-a-joke-github-copilot-s-new-token-based-billing-spurs-consternation-among-devs-n8j2ag9z1 "‘What a joke’: Github Copilot’s new token-based billing spurs consternation among devs") Article TechCrunch · 15w ‘What a joke’: Github Copilot’s new token-based billing spurs consternation among devs GitHub Copilot is switching from a flat subscription model to token-based billing starting June 1, 2026\. Developers are reacting with outrage on Reddit and X, with some reporting cost increases from $29/month to $750, or $50 to $3,000\. Critics of the critics argue that heavy token usage is driven by 'vibe coders' who use the tool inefficiently, while others defend upset users by pointing out Microsoft actively encouraged heavy usage. The economics of how much Microsoft was subsidizing usage under the old model remain unclear. 33 12 [See all TechCrunch archives](/sources/tc/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc/best-of/2026/05#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc/best-of/2026/05","name":"Best TechCrunch Posts — May 2026","description":"The most upvoted TechCrunch posts from May 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc/best-of/2026/05#items","numberOfItems":5,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/as-workers-worry-about-ai-nvidia-s-jensen-huang-says-ai-is-creating-an-enormous-number-of-jobs--lmupt90o0","name":"As workers worry about AI, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says AI is ‘creating an enormous number of jobs’"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/bumble-is-getting-rid-of-the-swipe-ceo-says-l4c8vnejv","name":"Bumble is getting rid of the swipe, CEO says"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/ouster-s-new-color-lidar-is-coming-to-replace-cameras-zlg0cigyg","name":"Ouster's new color lidar is coming to replace cameras"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/ghost-hackers-the-cybersecurity-mystery-that-nobody-has-solved-ecv5u2zlh","name":"Ghost hackers: the cybersecurity mystery that nobody has solved"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-a-joke-github-copilot-s-new-token-based-billing-spurs-consternation-among-devs-n8j2ag9z1","name":"‘What a joke’: Github Copilot’s new token-based billing spurs consternation among devs"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"TechCrunch","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"May 2026"}]}]} ```
