Electric truck startup Harbinger has raised $240 million in a Series D funding round, co-led by Tiger Global, Capricorn's 'technology impact fund', and defense-focused firm Ridgeline. The funding brings Harbinger's total raise to over $650 million. Harbinger is expanding its portfolio to include battery storage and defense applications, and has collaborated with FedEx, with the shipping giant's senior vice president of safety and transportation, Paul Melander, joining Harbinger's board of directors. Harbinger has also developed a driverless hybrid electric platform for the military and hybrid emergency vehicles. The company was founded in 2022 by former employees of Canoo and QuantumScape, and has made significant progress in expanding its efforts since its inception.

Grimes is starring in an AI-generated sci-fi film called Gods Don't Give Gifts, which releases in December. The film is a notable test case for the commercial potential of AI films and marks the first time an AI film has come to theaters. Grimes will lend her likeness and vocal performance to the movie. The anthology is set in a future where bodies are disposable and consciousness has been commoditized, and depicts the consequences of humanity's attempt to transcend the flesh. The film is being directed by Jack London and produced by Fable. Grimes has explored themes of transhumanism and artificial intelligence in her music and has an AI-themed album in the works.
