Hello, hello! Greg here again with Week in Review<\/a>, the newsletter where we quickly recap the most read TechCrunch stories from the past seven days. Been too busy to read tech news? WiR should leave you with a pretty good idea of what people were reading\/talking\/tweeting about.<\/p>\n Want it in your inbox every Saturday AM? Here\u2019s the link<\/a>.<\/p>\n Oh! And before we dive in, a bit of a plug: I\u2019m told we\u2019ve got a handful of \u201cFounder\u201d tickets left for the TC Early Stage<\/a> event coming to Boston next year. These tickets let current\/prospective founders get into the (seriously excellent) event for just $149, and they\u2019re letting us bump that down to $75 for Week in Review readers. Get \u2019em here<\/a>\u00a0while supplies last.<\/p>\n Twitter vs. ElonJet<\/strong><\/a>: Another wild one at Twitter this week. First came the news that @ElonJet, an account that tracked the whereabouts of Elon\u2019s private jet, had been suspended. Then the official account of Twitter-competitor Mastodon got suspended<\/a> (with links to Mastodon flagged as \u201cpotentially harmful\u201d) shortly after posting about said jet trackers. Then a bunch of tech reporters all got suspended<\/a>, at least some of whom had been tweeting about the jet tracker ordeal. And then \u2014 yes, there\u2019s more! \u2014 Elon joined a Twitter Space that featured a handful of said suspended reporters (with Twitter Spaces seemingly not recognizing\/respecting the suspensions); after a few minutes of questions, Elon left the session and the entire Twitter Spaces feature<\/em> was taken offline<\/a>.<\/p>\n SBF arrested<\/a><\/strong>: Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange\/Gordian knot that exploded oh-so-dramatically over the last few months, was arrested in the Bahamas this week. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced<\/a> that it was officially charging SBF with defrauding investors, with investigations on other charges underway.<\/p>\n OpenAI wants to watermark the stuff its AI writes<\/strong><\/a>: \u201cDid a human write that, or ChatGPT?\u201d Kyle Wiggers asks. \u201cIt can be hard to tell \u2014 perhaps too hard, its creator OpenAI thinks, which is why it is working on a way to \u2018watermark\u2019 AI-generated content.\u201d<\/p>\n NSA warns of exploits in popular networking gear<\/a><\/strong>: \u201cThe U.S. National Security Agency is warning that Chinese government-backed hackers are exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in two widely used Citrix networking products,\u201d writes Carly Page. The flaw, which Citrix confirms is being actively exploited, allows hackers to run malicious code on devices often found in enterprise networks.<\/p>\n iOS 16.2<\/a><\/strong>: This week Apple shipped out the latest version of iOS, and Ivan Mehta took a look at some of its best features, from end-to-end encryption of more iCloud data, a karaoke mode for Apple Music, and the public rollout of the \u201cinfinite whiteboard\u201d collaboration app, Freeform.<\/p>\n Instagram gets text-only posts<\/a><\/strong>: Ever wished you could post to Instagram without having to take a picture? No? Me neither. But Instagram added a text-centric option this week, and it\u2019s at least proving popular enough to crack our top posts list \u2014 or, more likely, people are googling what the heck this new Instagram \u201cNotes\u201d thing is and landing on our site. Whatever the case, they kinda remind me of old-school AIM status messages \u2014 they\u2019re short, ephemeral updates that live in your DMs rather than the main feed (see image below.)<\/p>\n Image Credits:<\/strong> Instagram<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Equity crew may not be clairvoyant, but they are very, very<\/em> smart \u2014 and this week, after a few absurdly unpredictable years, they dared to make some predictions <\/a><\/strong>about 2023. The Found<\/a> <\/strong>podcast, meanwhile, chatted with Tiny Health founder Cheryl Sew Hoy about the importance of the gut microbiome \u2014 particularly in how having a good gut microbiome as an infant can help prevent chronic health issues down the road.<\/p>\n TC+ is the premium, members-only section of the site where we get to step away from the news cycle and go a bit deeper on some of the stuff our readers tell us they like most. Here\u2019s what TC+ members were reading most this week:<\/p>\n The one slide 99% of founders get wrong<\/a><\/strong>: Between his time as a reporter, a VC, and a startup pitch coach, Haje has looked at more pitch decks than just about anyone I know. The most common mistake he sees? It\u2019s all about \u201cthe ask.\u201d<\/p>\nmost read<\/h2>\n
