I remember well when Tesla revealed the second-generation Roadster. It was 2017. I was living at home after college. And, after watching Elon Musk’s splashy livestream, I distinctly recall talking my parents’ ears off about how this incredible electric supercar would hit 60 mph in under two seconds, have 620 miles of range and—get this!—hit the road just a couple of years later in 2020. If only I had directed some of that youthful energy into, I don’t know, buying Tesla stock. But who would’ve known that Tesla would swiftly turn into a $1 trillion bet on AI and robotics?…

On Tuesday morning at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, our senior producer Maggie Nye rolled up her jacket sleeve to show me her new tattoo: a classic, pixelated cursor arrow. TechCrunch’s Becca Szkutak got a matching cursor, while Theresa Loconsolo got a smiling moon. I guessed that at some point during all the Disrupt hoopla, Maggie and Becca wandered off to some trendy San Francisco tattoo shop to cement their friendship with appropriately tech-themed ink (and maybe Theresa was there too?). That seemed like a more logical explanation than the reality, which is that they got these tattoos at Disrupt — yes,…

These are essentially apps that let players browse, shop, buy, and launch video games comfortably from one place, where they can build their very own digital video game library. That said, not all PC game clients are created equally. There are a few clients out there that mostly feature games of a specific studio, while others carry a wide variety of titles. Considering that less is…
One slice of today’s out-of-nowhere AI boom has actually been a long time coming: the rise of the self-driving car. After a period of wild hype in the 2010s, followed by disillusionment and a shakeout in the early 2020s, the race to make your car autonomous is fully back on, baby. For those that stuck it out, like Tesla and Waymo, the mission never really ended. Across the board, though, the shift is undeniable. After selling its self-driving unit years ago, Uber is back in the game and striking deals with, well, basically everyone. Waymo’s driverless Jaguars have become a…
Core Scientific shareholders on Thursday voted down an all-stock acquisition offer from partner and competitor CoreWeave that was valued at the time at $9 billion. They did so following a vote-no recommendation from their largest shareholder, Sina Toussi of Two Seas Capital, a firm that focuses on post-bankruptcy companies.

Core Scientific, which began as a crypto miner and still is one, shares that early history with AI data center provider CoreWeave, which also started as a miner. But CoreWeave, with investor and partner Nvidia, has now transitioned to serving…
