techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-11-06 08:17:27

Andreessen Horowitz’ plan to push its agenda in Washington shows no sign of slowing down, with the firm reporting $1.49 million in federal lobbying so far this year, according to lobbying records filed with Congress. A16z is even narrowly outspending its own industry trade group, the National Venture Capital Association. The pace of lobbying appears to be accelerating from last year, according to a TechCrunch review of lobbying disclosures. A16z spent $1.8 million on lobbying in all of 2024 and

Tesla could have avoided that $242.5M Autopilot verdict, filings show

techcrunch.com Kirsten Korosec 2025-11-06 08:32:47

Months before a jury awarded a $242.5 million verdict against Tesla over its culpability in a 2019 fatal crash, the automaker had a chance to settle for $60 million. Instead, Tesla rejected that offer, according to new legal filings that were first reported by Reuters. The settlement proposal, which was made in May, was disclosed in a filing that requested Tesla cover legal fees for the plaintiffs in the case. Earlier this month, a jury in federal court in Miami found Tesla partly to blame f

Imgur protest covers the front page in anti-MediaLab memes

Despite all the division and controversy rife in the modern era, sometimes the Internet does manage to collectively agree on something. Right now, they agree that they hate Imgur parent company MediaLab. After being acquired by MediaLab in 2021, the once famously open-to-anything image-sharing service began placing restrictions on content in 2023. More recently, the site has experienced service issues, including problems with notifications. Many members of the Imgur community have claimed that

The Star Wars sequel trilogy remains a hot topic for Star Wars fans, young and old. No matter where you stand on the three films, though, one thing we can probably all agree on is the one prop from the series that we’d most like to hold in our hands and explore: the sacred Jedi texts. Revealed in Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, the Jedi texts are stored on Ahch-To and watched over by Luke Skywalker after he leaves the Jedi order and the Force behind him.

Saudi AI Firm Launches Halal Chatbot

Companies with AI chatbots love to highlight their capability as translators, but they still default to English, both in function and in the information they are trained on. With that in mind, Humain, an AI company in Saudi Arabia, has now launched an Arabic-native chatbot. The bot, called Humain Chat, runs on the Allam large language model, according to Bloomberg, which the company claims was trained on “one of the largest Arabic datasets ever assembled” and is the “world’s most advanced Arabi

Something Extremely Scary Happens When Advanced AI Tries to Give Medical Advice to Real World Patients

Simmering concerns about a growing AI bubble — a word repeatedly invoked by Altman himself during the appearance — have gripped the industry, with spooked investors triggering a major tech sell-off in the wake of the CEO's remarks.
