Prentis, a company building computer-use models and co-founded by Reid Hoffman and Marc Pincus, is reportedly in talks to raise $100 million at a $1 billion valuation.
The post itself is just a joke — “starting a company for dentists called Crentist” — but the quoted Techmeme context carries the actual news: a major funding round for an AI computer-use startup.
