According to a Wall Street Journal report, former OpenAI researcher and hedge fund founder Leopold Aschenbrenner told people at San Francisco gatherings that he intended to save money to eventually purchase entire galaxies, believing AI would unlock unlimited resources and space colonization. He reportedly even promised to buy one for his wife, Anthropic chief of staff Avital Balwit. His fund, Situational Awareness, has since lost over two-thirds of its value amid a tech sell-off and is now under SEC investigation.
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S26 FE, a mid-tier successor to last year's S25 FE that keeps most of the same hardware but swaps in the newer 3nm Exynos 2500 chip with faster cores and an upgraded RDNA-based GPU. The device also gains camera software borrowed from pricier Galaxy models, including Horizon Lock and My FanCam, ships with One UI 9, and carries a design refresh to its rear camera housing.
NASA plans to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope as early as August 30 from Kennedy Space Center. The observatory matches Hubble's resolution but offers a field of view about 100 times larger, enabling it to map vast regions of sky to study dark matter and dark energy over a five-year primary mission. Scientists also expect it to detect as many as 200,000 new exoplanets, far surpassing the roughly 6,300 confirmed so far.
