So glad to have you with us! Let\u2019s get to it! \u2014\u00a0Christine<\/a> and Haje<\/a><\/p>\n The worlds of technology and medicine are making big bets on AI playing a central role in the delivery of healthcare in the future. Today, a startup out of Durham, North Carolina, called Bionic Health \u2014 built by two early movers in the commercializing of AI \u2014 is throwing its hat into that ring to build out its approach, Ingrid<\/a> reports. It raised $3 million for its AI health clinic<\/a>.<\/p>\n Last week, the FBI arrested a man alleged to be \u201cPompompurin,\u201d the administrator of the infamous and popular BreachForums, Lorenzo<\/a> reports. Days after the arrest, the cybercrime website\u2019s new administrator announced that they are shutting down the forum<\/a> for good.<\/p>\n Another handful of stories worth mentioning:<\/p>\n Image Credits:<\/strong> Ruslan Malysh\/EyeEm (opens in a new window)<\/span><\/a> \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n More than 225,000 tech workers have been laid off in the last year, which is having a direct effect on SaaS renewal and purchase cycles.<\/p>\n SaaS customers that reduced headcount are buying fewer seat licenses, and sales cycles are taking a little longer than they used to, says Ryan Neu, CEO and co-founder of SaaS-buying platform Vendr.<\/p>\n \u201cOver the last three years, our data has shown a steady decline in multi-year deals,\u201d he writes. \u201cYet we have also seen a significant increase in [average contract value] from purchase to renewal in mission-critical and sticky software categories, like CRM or email.\u201d<\/p>\n Three more from the TC+ team:<\/p>\n TechCrunch+<\/em><\/a> is our membership program that helps founders and startup teams get ahead of the pack.<\/em> You can sign up here<\/em><\/a>.

Sarah<\/a> writes that it\u2019s only being rolled out as a DoorDash Drive feature, but that when it was tested, about 20% of U.S. customers ordering pizza paid with cash. She notes that the cash option has helped attract customers who aren\u2019t a fan of handing over their payment information.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Devin<\/a> wants to have some words with Amazon, which he reports is shutting down DPReview, \u201cthe best camera review site on the web<\/a>.\u201d He writes that the company\u2019s team was let go as part of Amazon\u2019s latest round of layoffs and that \u201cDPReview is hardly the first media property to get the axe during these turbulent times, but it is surely one of the oldest and most unique. Here\u2019s hoping the talented and knowledgeable team lands on their feet, and Amazon comes to regret its decision.\u201d<\/p>\n And we have five more for you:<\/p>\nThe TechCrunch Top 3<\/h2>\n
