The ‘OpenAI Files’ push for oversight in the race to AGI

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2026-04-09 10:19:50

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said humanity is only years away from developing artificial general intelligence that could automate most human labor. If that’s true, then humanity also deserves to understand and have a say in the people and mechanics behind such an incredible and destabilizing force. That is the guiding purpose behind “The OpenAI Files,” an archival project from the Midas Project and the Tech Oversight Project, two nonprofit tech watchdog organizations.

Companies That Replaced With Humans With AI Are Realizing Their Mistake

futurism.com Unknown 2026-04-09 15:10:39

According to tech billionaire and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, 2025 was supposed to be the year "when AI agents will work." Despite widespread hype, so-called "AI agents" — a software product that's supposed to complete human-level tasks autonomously — have yet to live up to their name. As of April, even the best AI agent could only finish 24 percent of the jobs assigned to it. Still, that didn't stop business executives from swarming to the software like flies to roadside carrion, gutting entire dep

Dotemu’s CEO wants to bring back classic games the right way

venturebeat.com Mike Minotti 2026-04-09 15:00:00

I grew up with arcade beat-em-ups like Konami’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time and X-Men. It was a genre I loved, so I was sad to see it diminish in relevance. Thankfully, beat-em-ups have had a revival, thanks in part to publishers like Dotemu and developers like Tribute Games. The two teamed up for 2022’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, a worthy successor to Turtles in Time. Now, they’re working on Marvel Cosmic Invasion.

SB Arts Media/Getty For the first time, the proportion of Americans turning to social media for news surpassed traditional platforms like TV. Oxford's Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism released its 2025 Digital News Report this week, and the data shows a shift in how Americans get their news.

In some ways, this year’s SGF gave me everything I love about the event.

The most surprising thing about Govee’s colorful smart lamp with a speaker built-in is that we didn’t get something like this sooner.

Homomorphically Encrypting CRDTs

Here’s a problem with local-first software. You want to work on a document together with a friend who lives far away from you. That sounds like local-first’s bread and butter: store the document as a CRDT, then use some sort of sync server to merge updates and relay them between you and your friend. But there’s a catch: the contents of that document are secret. So secret, in fact, that you don’t even want the app developer to know what they are. One way to solve this is end-to-end encryption.
