Conspiracy theorists unaware their beliefs are on the fringe

news.ycombinator.com Kate Blackwood 2026-02-01 10:20:56

Overconfidence is a hallmark trait of people who believe in conspiracies, and they also significantly overestimate how much others agree with them, Cornell psychology researchers have found. The study indicates that belief in conspiracies may be less about a person’s needs and motivations and more about their failure to recognize that they might be wrong. Conspiracy believers not only consistently overestimated their performance on numeracy and perception tests, revealing they tend to be less a

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2026-02-01 15:12:21

Apolink, a Y Combinator-backed space-tech startup founded by a 19-year-old Indian-origin entrepreneur, has raised $4.3 million in an “oversubscribed” seed round at a $45 million post-money valuation to build a real-time connectivity network for satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The startup is tackling a persistent problem in space communications. Satellites frequently go offline during parts of their orbit due to dead zones — periods when they are not in the line of sight of a ground station

Microsoft and OpenAI's AGI Fight Is Bigger Than a Contract

wired.com Steven Levy 2026-02-01 18:11:10

I first learned about The Clause from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. During an interview with him in May 2023, I asked about the deal between Microsoft and OpenAI that granted his company exclusive access to the startup’s groundbreaking AI technology. I knew the contract had set a cap on how much profit Microsoft could make from the arrangement, and I asked him what would happen if and when that point was reached.
