With that said, Empire of AI is a powerful work, bristling not only with great reporting but also with big ideas. This comes across in service to two main themes. The first is simple: It is the story of ambition overriding ethics. The history of OpenAI as Hao tells it (and as Hagey does too) is very much a tale of a company that was founded on the idealistic desire to create a safety-focused artificial general intelligence but instead became more interested in winning. This is a story we’ve see

On Monday, the developer of a large offshore wind farm being built off the coast of New York announced that the federal government had lifted a hold it had placed on the project roughly a month ago. The entire process has been shrouded in mystery. The government never fully enunciated its justification for the hold and hasn't yet commented on the fact that it had been lifted, although there is some hint that it was coupled to a reconsideration of a cancelled natural gas pipeline.

We know Cassian Andor is doomed. 2016's Rogue One makes clear he will meet an untimely death in a massive explosion. That sense of inevitable destruction lingered in the background of the first season of Andor, the prequel series that follows his journey from a low-rent criminal to a rebel spy. But his fate is even more crushing in Andor's second (and final) season, where the cost of fighting against the seemingly all-powerful Empire chips away at his soul.

“Who are you?” is the question that haunts Syril Karn for his entire life. From the moment we met him, prim and proper security uniform modified to be just so, a sense of purpose in a vast and uncaring universe has been at the core of understanding what makes Syril tick. The journey that took him across the galaxy reached a climactic moment in Andor‘s penultimate arc this week, and raised that haunting question once more. But the answer is more complicated than mere villain in Andor‘s narrative,

We have our first teaser for the upcoming third season of Foundation. It's been nearly two years, but the third season of Foundation, Apple TV+'s epic adaptation (or remix) of the Isaac Asimov series, is almost here. The streaming platform released an action-packed teaser of what we can expect from the new ten-episode season: the onset of the Third Crisis, a galactic war, and a shirtless Lee Pace.

Ever since it was first teased that Andor‘s second season was preparing to show the tragedy that set the stage for the formal formation of the Rebel Alliance, there’s similarly been discussion of the fact that there are two Ghorman Massacres. The one we are about to learn much more about in this week’s batch of episodes, and the very different version of events that took place in Star Wars‘ old Expanded Universe.

Each character’s war within comes scratching to the surface in this week’s three-episode drop of Andor season two. The events that take place three years before the battle of Yavin see an embattled Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) not having the votes to sway the Senate against Palpatine, and Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) seeing that the Ghorman resistance is ready to get its hands dirty. All the while Luthen (Stellan Skarsgård) and Saw (Forest Whittaker) willingly court the risk of a huge sacrifice

There’ve been so many questions Star Wars fans have asked over the years. And sooner or later, one of them is: “Why does Yoda talk like that?” Since his debut in Empire Strikes Back, the old Jedi Master has spoken backwards—”How are you doing?” for anyone else is “Doing, how are you?” to him. George Lucas was asked about Yoda’s peculiar speech patterns during a recent anniversary screening for Empire, and his answer? “I had to figure out a way to get people to actually listen, especially 12-yea

On an isolated farm at the outer reaches of a fascist empire, a mid-level government toady interrogates his victims. Under the guise of conducting a government census, he’s sniffing out undocumented immigrants. When he finds one, he pounces, cornering a young migrant worker and attempting to coerce her into sleeping with him. When she refuses, he gets violent.

In what is probably the most important Star Wars universe show, Andor fires up a rebellion on screen as the ultimate come to the light side moment that couldn’t have arrived at a more pertinent time. Tony Gilroy spearheads a team that delivers the best of what Star Wars has always represented: hope. Season two’s narrative may lead inevitably into Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but it holds the fate of so many others in the air and that itself will leave you wanting more. The gripping arc that set

Many historians agree that the fall of the Western Roman Empire, usually dated to the fall of ancient Rome in 476 CE, marked the end of classical antiquity. What they don’t always agree on, however, is what caused the Empire’s infamous decline. Theories include poor management, pressure from Germanic people, the rise of Christianity, overpopulation, worsening defenses—and even the unfortunate timing of a brief ice age. A multidisciplinary team has revealed new insight into what’s known as the L

The New Republic is one of the biggest parts of Star Wars‘ universe after the climax of Return of the Jedi. It’s a state of power in the galaxy that defines three decades of Star Wars chronology before it’s upended in the sequel trilogy, and it touches on so many of the contemporary franchise’s parts, from upcoming movies to shows like Ahsoka and The Mandalorian. Its broader rise and fall speaks to the cycle of conflict that Star Wars has, in ways good and bad, come to be defined by. And yet, th
