Karen Hao on the Empire of AI, AGI evangelists, and the cost of belief

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2025-09-27 20:00:34

At the center of every empire is an ideology, a belief system that propels the system forward and justifies expansion – even if the cost of that expansion directly defies the ideology’s stated mission. For European colonial powers, it was Christianity and the promise of saving souls while extracting resources. For today’s AI empire, it’s artificial general intelligence to “benefit all humanity.” And OpenAI is its chief evangelist, spreading zeal across the industry in a way that has reframed ho

Scientists Say They Can't Explain the Signal They Just Detected From Beyond Our Galaxy

Gamma ray bursts are some of the most powerful explosions in the universe, unleashing as much energy in mere seconds as the Sun will in its entire 10 billion year lifespan. Typically, they're produced by stars dying in a spectacular supernova — a rapid collapse that completely obliterates the stellar object. But now, astronomers say they've detected a gamma ray burst that utterly defies explanation: it repeated multiple times over the course of a single day, as if the star somehow suffered back
