/FEATURED OPENAI CEO SAYS HIS TECH IS POISED TO "BREAK CAPITALISM" OpenAI CEO (and noted doomsday prepper) Sam Altman is okay with welcoming oblivion. According to The Byte, Sam Altman's recent sit-down with Forbes, mostly centered around his groundbreaking firm and, specifically, ChatGPT (we're sure you've maybe heard about it.) When asked about its effects on the market at large, he simply said while we loves capitalism, he thinks OpenAI will help bring about the end of capitalism … and did not elaborate from there. Legitimate theory or just something a very rich and paranoid CEO would say? You decide.

/STORIES WOULD IT REALLY BE SO BAD IF AI TOOK OUR JOBS? When Dazed asked ChatGPT to write an article on whether AI will take our jobs, this is what it had to say: "Some argue that the rise of automation could lead to a utopia of "fully-automated luxury communism", where machines do all the work and humans are free to pursue leisure and creativity. Others argue that widespread job loss could have disastrous consequences for society." So, take that for what you will. WAIT, ROLLS-ROYCE IN SPACE? Yeah, according to Space.com, Rolls-Royce is teaming up with the UK Space Agency to help figure out nuclear power and propulsion for spaceflight. They've even unveiled an early-stage design for a nuclear reactor and yes, in true Rolls fashion, it's classy AF.

[Partner] C'MON, TRY IT » WHAT MYSTERIES IS THE UNIVERSE HIDING FROM US? A COSMOLOGIST WEIGHS IN When Inverse asked a cosmologist about the amount of stuff we still have to learn about the universe, they pointed out the universe is very big and very often "beyond the reach of our instruments, and of our ideas." What does that mean? We'll likely never figure out every theory or mystery we have in our heads and even more than that, there are plenty of ideas our brains cannot even begin to theorize and those probably won't get solved either.
